Iggy and Kipper, the shift, the eliminator. The double (I'm going to call it) cheats in the Tampa series (The missed blatant tackle interference in game 6, the goal in game 7)


The sea of Red, and the red mile were legendary and other teams tried to imitate them but it just seemed cheap.


Calgary knocked off three division leaders something that hadn't been done before.



It bought Calgary together like nothing I'd ever seen since the Cup run in 1989.



Its hard for me to believe that we'll ever see a run like that again.
hey bad things come in threes- throw in the fun of Game 4 (score was 1-0 BTW) for the trifecta:


Calgary also tried to establish its physical, hard-checking
style immediately, just as it did in wearing down the Lightning in
Game 3, but Chris Clark (cross checking) and Mike Commodore
(holding) both drew penalties just 1:52 in.
Tampa Bay, 0-for-3 on the power play during the first period
Saturday, scored on the 5-on-3, with Richards powering a one-timer
from just above the hash mark past Miikka Kiprusoff as the goalie
was screened by Vincent Lecavalier. It was only the second time in
12 games Calgary has allowed a goal in the first period.
"If they kill that off, it may have been the game," Richards
said. "There really was some [desperation] there."
