Yeah, similar to foofighter15, I was living away from Calgary, going to university in Ottawa at the time and my memories of that awesome run were of me converting a bunch of Habs, Leafs and Sens fans into Flames fans for those 2 months. We started with watching the games at my place with my roomates and then occasionally would head out to a local pub and watch the game there with volume ON! A buddy of mine mailed various Calgary newspapers and special edition magazines for me to keep, which I still have today.
Never say never, but I agree it feels like it will be hard to duplicate again. That run was unexpected and the one time when most of Canada was actually behind the Canadian team. That didn't happen for the Oilers run that year, most of Canada hated the Canucks in 2010 and I'm unsure if any Canadian team would rally other Canadian fans behind them the way the Flames did in 2004.
