2003–04 Calgary Flames season
Encyclopedia
The 2003–04 Calgary Flames
season was the 24th
National Hockey League
season
in Calgary
, and the 32nd for the franchise in the NHL. The Flames ended a seven-year playoff drought, qualifying for the post-season for the first time since 1996. The Flames defeated three division winners en-route to an appearance in the 2004 Stanley Cup Finals
. The Flames were defeated in the finals by the Tampa Bay Lightning
in seven games. The run to the finals captured the imagination of the city, while the Red Mile
celebrations gained international attention for the "Mardi Gras
-like" atmosphere as up to 80,000 people celebrated in the streets after each playoff game.
Head coach Darryl Sutter
succeeded Craig Button
as the Flames' general manager. Sutter made numerous changes to the roster as he worked to remake the Flames into a fast, physical club. Chris Drury
was dealt to Buffalo for Rhett Warrener
and Steve Reinprecht before the season began. A knee injury to starting goaltender Roman Turek
led Sutter to trade for Miikka Kiprusoff
, a player he knew from his days with the San Jose Sharks
. Kiprusoff responded to the deal by posting an NHL record low Goals Against Average
of 1.69.
The Flames were led offensively by Jarome Iginla
, who tied Ilya Kovalchuk
and Rick Nash
for the league lead with 41 goals as the trio shared the Rocket Richard Trophy. Iginla represented the Flames at the 54th National Hockey League All-Star Game
in Minnesota, and was named a second team all-star
for his performance during the season. Iginla's charity work and leadership both on and off the ice led to his also being awarded the King Clancy Memorial Trophy
and NHL Foundation Player Award
.
in the first game of the season, an early November trade for San Jose Sharks
third stringer Miikka Kiprusoff
sparked the Flames, as Kiprusoff led Calgary into the playoffs for the first time in eight years.
Defenceman Mike Commodore
became a cult hero for his unruly red mop of hair during the playoffs, leading many fans to wear red afro wigs to playoff games. Craig Conroy
brought a team building idea from his days with the St. Louis Blues, having the team award a green hard hat to the hardest working player each time the Flames won. As the exercise gained popularity, fans also began wearing green hard hats to the arena themselves.
The third round series pitted the Flames against head coach Darryl Sutter
and goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff's old team - the San Jose Sharks. After jumping out to a 2–0 series lead on the road, the Sharks returned the favour, defeating Calgary twice at home. After blanking the Sharks in San Jose in game five, the Flames returned home with a chance to go to the Stanley Cup Finals. Led once again by Iginla and Gelinas, the Flames cruised to a 3–1 victory. Gelinas once again scored the series clinching goal, this time in the second period, to return the Flames to the Stanley Cup final for the first time since winning it in 1989.
The Finals became known for controversy. First, referee Kerry Fraser
was pulled from his game six assignment in Calgary after drawing the ire of Flames fans following several calls in game four that upset the local fans. Fraser would instead officiate game seven in Tampa. The officiating in game four prompted a rant by Sutter, in which he alleged that the NHL did not want Calgary to win.
Late in game six, with the score tied, a shot that deflected off of Gelinas was stopped by Tampa goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin
on the goal line. Later replays indicated that the puck did cross the line, however the play was not reviewed at the time, and the NHL would later rule the video was inconclusive. Instead, the Lightning would win in double overtime, and go on to win game seven by a 2–1 score.
Despite the game seven loss, the playoff run lifted the city to a new high. Over 30,000 fans celebrated the Flames run at a rally at Olympic Plaza
shortly after the finals ended. Due to the team's playoff success their fans set new expectations, perhaps unrealistic ones, for the Flames.
's 41 goals placed him in a tie for the league lead, earning him his second Rocket Richard Trophy. Iginla shared the award with Atlanta's Ilya Kovalchuk
and Columbus' Rick Nash
, both of whom also scored 41 goals. Iginla also led the league in playoff goals, as his total of 13 was one better than Tampa's Brad Richards
and Ruslan Fedotenko
. Iginla led the team in scoring for the fourth consecutive season,
Miikka Kiprusoff
, acquired from the San Jose Sharks
early in the season, set a modern NHL record low Goals Against Average
of 1.69 in 39 games played. He recorded five shutouts in the playoffs, a franchise record. Kiprusoff's performance with the Flames led to his being named the starting goaltender for team Finland at the 2004 World Cup of Hockey
, where he led the Finns to the championship final.

to the Buffalo Sabres
for defenceman Rhett Warrener
and forward Steve Reinprecht, whom the Sabres had acquired from the Colorado Avalanche
, then included in the Drury trade. Warrener especially was seen as being a key player for the Flames as they attempted to qualify for the playoffs.
The acquisition of Miikka Kiprusoff
proved to be a significant turning point for the Flames' season. Darryl Sutter
dealt for Kiprusoff after starting goaltender Roman Turek
suffered a knee injury that left him unable to play for several months. Kiprusoff stabilized the Flames' goaltending situation, producing a league record low goals against average

The 2003 NHL Entry Draft
was held in Nashville, Tennessee
on June 21–22, 2003. The Flames selected nine players in the draft. Calgary selected offensive minded defenceman Dion Phaneuf
with their first pick, ninth overall. Phaneuf's coach with the Red Deer Rebels
described him as being a physical player on draft day. "This kid doesn't hit to hit. He hits to hurt. It's a mind-set that's rare in the game. At any level. You can't teach it, you can't fake it. You're either born with it, or you're not." Phaneuf quickly made an impact in the NHL, scoring 20 goals as a rookie in 2005–06, earning a nomination for the Calder Memorial Trophy
as top rookie. Phaneuf was nominated for the Norris Trophy as top defenceman in 2007–08, just his third year in the NHL.

The Las Vegas Wranglers entered the ECHL

Playoffs
Calgary's defeat of the Vancouver Canucks in the first round was the first playoff series victory for the Flames since they won the Cup in 1989. Jarome Iginla scored two goals and assisted on Martin Gelinas' overtime winner in game seven, sending fans in Calgary into the streets to celebrate the victory. The Flames pulled off an even bigger upset in round two, knocking off the President's Trophy winning Red Wings in six, including back-to-back 1–0 shutouts in the final two games. Once again, Gelinas scored the overtime winner on a rebound on a play set up by Iginla. In doing so, Gelinas became the first player in NHL history to record three career OT winners to end a series.The third round series pitted the Flames against head coach Darryl Sutter
