It started during the round against the Oilers.
The Oilers were telling people to wear hats to their games for "Hat Trick Fever" because they were trying to win their third straight Cup, so someone suggested the Flames do a Sea of Red. I'm not sure who made the original suggestion, but I think it was someone on the CBC broadcast (I think it may have been Don Whitman, but I'm not positive about that).
