Close 2nd: Game 7, 2004. The last 5 minutes or so where I knelt in front of the TV, pounding my fists on the floor trying to get the Flames to score an equalizer.
Honourable mention: Fleury trade – compounded by the fact I ran into him on a connection in Denver airport. He was there to meet his wife and baby and understandably a bit bemused when a dozen fans tried to tell him we wished he was still a Flame. Maybe even worse than that was his first game back in Calgary with the Avs – I was sitting along the glass, 4 seats away from the visitors' bench. Fleury was shouting obscenities at the crowd (in response to a heckler), but he was dissing on the 'unprofessional' ownership group and saying we were all mugs for supporting them. Pretty dark time to be a Flames fan...

Wasn't it Trent Yawney that coughed up the puck on the winner?
