Cup Final Lost Since 1989
One Final since the Cup. 2004, Game 7, lost to Tampa. One goal, one inch, one whole province tryin' to forget it.
Game 7 Losses Since the Cup
Six Game 7 losses since the Cup. Oilers, Canucks, Sharks, Lightning, Ducks and Sharks again. Six! Game 7 is when they pack the bags.
Straight Springs on the Couch (1997–2003)
Seven straight yeahs without a playoff game, 1997 through 2003. That's not a rebuild, pal, that's a whole generation.
First-Round Exits
Thirteen first-round exits. That's the Flames' favorite round to lose in.
Failed Attempts at a Second Cup
Sixteen playoff runs since the Cup, sixteen ways to lose. Persistence is a virtue, until it's sixteen.
Teams Better Than the Flames
Eighteen different franchises have won a Cup since the Flames did. Eighteen, kid. Even the Rangers, who waited fifty-four yeahs.
Playoffs Missed Since 1989
Twenty missed playoffs since the Cup. Twenty springs on the couch, and the couch has a Flames logo.
Days Since Their Last Stanley Cup
More than thirteen thousand days since the Cup. That's the longest wait in the West, and you can quote me.
Flames Tears
The Saddledome is leakin'. Flames tears, kid.
