It was the first time in my life the flames had been relevant when it came to the playoff picture during mid-season. I remember getting to school the morning after the trade and my friend asking "who the hell is Miikka Kiprusoff?". Normally I had these answers, but I couldn't find one for him. IIRC we lost 6-5 in OT during Kipper's first start.

Nah man, we won!
