It’s interesting looking back on that rebuild. It felt like it was so fast. I watched every game and it never felt frustrating to watch once the rebuild started. Iggy got traded in 2013 which was very sad. But we were able to cheer for him on the penguins and with the bruins… and he looked awesome on both teams - especially Boston.
The flames quickly established themselves as “the hardest working team in hockey” in the 2013-2014 season. And we all got to be really excited in anticipation of what Gaudreau was going to be as he had his amazing World Juniors and his Hobey Baker season.
One year after that and it was the funnest/most exciting season of hockey you could ever ask for as the flames made the playoffs and man-handled the aging Vancouver Canucks in the first round with a young, hard working team. Admittedly, they were lucky that season but it was a blast.
