Flames Best #3 Of All Time: Dion Phaneuf
Photo by Nick Laham/Getty ImagesSometimes you are selected because you’re the obvious choice. Sometimes it’s by default. Sometimes it’s because you’re the best looking person at the ugly person contest. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you the best #3 in Flames history......Dion Phaneuf. We aren’t saying Dion wasn’t a solid player, as he put his body on the line in his short time with the Flames, but as such a high pick people expected more. It just seemed like Dion Phaneuf should have been more and a player the Flames could have rode with Jarome Iginla and Miikka Kiprusoff to glory.
