Yeah. The team was utterly dominant in every facet of the game. 117 points. 54 wins. First in goals for. Second in goals against. Jiri Hrdina and Theo Fleury played on the fourth line. Rob Ramage played on the third defence pairing.
In terms of winning percentage z-score – how many standard deviations above average the team was – that Flames team was in the top five in NHL history.
You'll never see another team like that, not as long as there's a salary cap. Bringing in Iginla will not magically turn this or any team into the '89 Flames.
