A whole lot of skill, heart and luck on display. Will be hard to duplicate that, so here's hoping they have the lead more often after two periods.

I'm not old enough to recall 1989.
The 2004 playoffs were a hell of a run.
But from start to finish 2014/2015 was easily the most entertaining, most exciting, and most enjoyable Flames season of my lifetime.

I've been watching game 6 highlights every few days since the season ended. I was there and love reliving the moment. Always puts a smile on my face.

Agreed. I was at game 6 to beat out DET in 04 and it was amazing, but I was 14. Now being old enough to follow the team and the game as I do, this season was some of the best hockey I've ever seen.

Never before has a win in December after an 8 game LOSING streak felt like winning a second round playoff game.

Just so many factors that made the past season such a great season of hockey. I kind of get sad just thinking that I am not sure any season can live up to the excitement of the last 12 months.
A group with no expectations that was very likeable, worked so hard, and that you could tell really liked each other (including the coaching staff which is remarkable).
So many late game comebacks.
The team playing an exciting, offensive, style of hockey (which hurts the 04 season in retrospect).
And to top it off so many different contributors over the course of the season. You watch that video and the following players all made big plays:
Hudler
Gaudreau
Monahan
Bouma
Backlund
Jones
Colborne
Stajan
Ferland
Granlund
Jooris
Bennett
Gio
Brodie
Wideman
Russell
Schlemko
The goalies all having strong stretches of play, and stepping up in relief of the other goalie after one was yanked to shut the door.
It always seemed like a different guy was coming up big late in a game, and that no matter who stepped into the lineup they were ready to contribute.

I had the privilege of being in person at both Van game 6 and Anaheim game 3. I will remember both for the rest of my life, simply amazing. Was also at the NJ comeback, Oilers NYE, clincher vs. the Kings, and the first playoff game at the dome in 6 years (in which Bennett scored his first NHL goal)...and more I can't even remember. Just a magical season, I'll be telling my kids about it one day I'm sure.

I won't forget this season for a long time. I had the luck and privilege to attend 3 of these come back games. April 9 vs LA and Vanc Game 6 + Anaheim Game 3.
Game 6 was so good...

Forgot how great of a shift Colborne had before Russell scored in Game one. That whole thing was fun to watch.

My favourite was the one against LA. That look from the bench when Wideman just realized he won the game

Yup, and I love when the shot cuts to the bench, everyone is jumping around and Colborne is just hunched over completely gassed. That's pretty much the definition of leaving it all on the ice.

So Dougie looked pretty bad at about the 20:22 mark, hey? Good thing he doesn't do that regularly.

According to this, there were about ten other similar breakdowns last season. NTTAWWT for a 21 year old in 72 game sample.

I think one of the reasons granlund looked good early in the season is that he was playing with Johnny a lot. Same with Jooris.
