Colin Dambrauskas: Picking the Calgary Flames All Time Greatest Team – Part 1 – Goalies

Kipper and Vernon, can't really see anyone else in there either.

This should be a sad sad set of players to pick from.
Iginla,macinnis,kipper...that is all.

Oh for sure because the 20 odd guys who took the Oil to the woodshed in the late 80's had no business playin in the same league. Guys like MacDonald, Gilmour, McCrimmon, Suter, Roberts, Mullen & more likely wouldn't have cracked most teams AHL rosters

The Flames will have a solid team for sure. I'd take their all time team over the Nucks all time anyday.

Kipper & Vernon pretty easy choices in the goalie group!!!! This should be fun to pick !!! One goalie to add maybe- one of my favs- Reggie Lemelin!!!!!!!!

Where's Reggie Lemelin?

Beat me to it. Lemelin was the 1st goalie I remember really cheering for, obviously when the Flames 1st moved to CGY when I was a kid. Luv Lemelin!

I also remember A Certain Brett Hull being on CGY in the 80's ;-)

Sorry guys, I originally had a write up for Lemelin but had to shave a few from the list to keep it short. Reason for removing Lemelin was his numbers. As shown below in my write up, his best numbers...well....werent that great. If you guys still think he should be added, let me know and I will do my best to edit the blog and fit him in.

Thanks.


Rejean Lemelin – 31

Lemelin was acquired by the Flames in 1980 after the franchise relocated to Calgary. Lemelin would play seven seasons with the Flames before being lost to the Boston Bruins in 1987 via free agency. Lemelin and the Flames would make the playoffs every year despite only succeeding past the 1st round once. Holds franchise record for season most goals allowed

Best season with the Flames – 56gp 30W 12L GAA 3.46 SV% .888

Considering your team was involved in the great battles of Alberta. It's sad that you only can think of those 3 names

I would have put Tabbi on that list, not that he would of cracked the top 2(Kipper & Mikey is the no brainer pick) but when he was on he was good & he is a heck of nice guy, his wife is drop dead gorgeous & he did a lot of charity work for the Childrens Hospital.

I would actually recommend that no kids come to this site. Kids are already (frank)ed up nowadays, don't need HB making them any worse.
