Also, I found the Kings - even though they were suffocating - fun to watch in their cup runs. I thought that Calgary was probably the most fun to watch team in '04 with their crazy speed and hits.

Of all the Canadian teams that made a miracle run to the finals during that era, the Flames had the most national support of any team. I had friends who were Canuck fans organizing viewing parties and falling in love with Iggy. There were Flames car flags all across the country, even in Edmonton.
That team was very entertaining. Sutter hockey is just plain entertaining, pressure forecheck and physical play. Canadians love that kind of hockey, that's also the recipe Canada has used internationally to win gold medals. Sutter hockey is Canadian hockey.
