I bought season's tickets that year (starting that year), and my rep GUARANTEED that they would make the playoffs.  I thought that was optimistic at the time, but by Christmas, I was on board.   
 
Come April, the buzz in the town was palpable.  I - and everyone else I knew - went into the Vancouver series expecting to win.

Going into the playoffs off all the bottom seeded teams the Flames were voted the team you don't want to play
