Sports Illustrated says the Calgary Flames' march to the Stanley Cup
final in 2003-04 was no fluke.
The U.S.-based weekly magazine has picked the Flames No. 1 in
pre-season rankings in this week's edition, which goes on sale Wednesday.
SI hockey writer Michael Farber wrote that signing star right winger
Jarome Iginla to a long-term deal was the Flames' most important
off-season move, and picking up his new linemates Daymond Langkow and
Tony Amonte will also help.
Bringing in defenceman Roman Hamrlik to boost the power play was
another astute move, according to SI.
"The question is how quickly our chemistry in the room comes together
with the new guys," Iginla told SI. "(In 2003-04), we were the tightest
group I ever played on. But the core of the team is back and we're even
hungrier now."
The Flames were the result of the NHL's first preemptive strike
against the upstart World Hockey Association. In December 1971, the NHL
hastily granted a team to Long Island - the New York Islanders. Needing another team to balance the
schedule, the NHL awarded a team to the same group that owned the NBA's
Atlanta Hawks, headed by businessman Tom Cousins. Cousins named the team
the "Flames" after the fire resulting from the March to the Sea.
In later years, Nelson Skalbania bought the team and paid the highest
price ever for an NHL franchise at the time. Skalbania promptly moved the
team to Calgary, but kept the Flames name since he figured it would be
appropriate for an oil town like Calgary. The flaming "A" logo was
replaced by a flaming "C".
The Flames were one of the first teams to sign large numbers of U.S.
college players, including Joel Otto, Gary Suter and Colin Patterson.
Roster moves in 1982 allowed the Flames to become one of the NHL's best
teams during the mid-1980s and early 1990s. They failed to earn 90 points
in the regular season only once from 1984 to 1991, but were usually
unable to transfer that success into a deep playoff run.
They won their first Stanley Cup in 1989 against the Montreal Canadiens. This victory was especially significant in
that it marked the second time that an opposing team won the Stanley Cup
on Montreal Forum ice (the first being the New York Rangers in 1928, against the Montreal Maroons), and the
first time against the storied Canadiens.
After seven consecutive seasons out of the playoffs, the Flames
returned to glory in 2004, surprising the hockey world by defeating all
three Western Conference division champions to become the first Canadian
team in a decade to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals. Facing the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Flames won game 6 in double overtime,
but Tampa Bay went on to hold the Flames to only 7 shots in the first two
periods in game 7. The Flames went on to a late surge, but it was too
little too late as they lost game 7 on 7 June 2004 by a score of 2-1.

The Flames arrived in the city of Calgary in 1980 after spending their first eight seasons in Atlanta, Georgia as the
Atlanta Flames.
