The Calgary Flames enjoyed a historic 2003-04 season, ending a seven-year playoff drought and finishing third in the Northwest Division with a 42-30-7-3 record. Led by captain Jarome Iginla, who shared the Rocket Richard Trophy with 41 goals, and the stellar goaltending of Miikka Kiprusoff, the team captivated fans with a thrilling postseason run known as the "C of Red." The Flames became the first team to defeat three division winners in one postseason, ultimately reaching the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1989 and pushing the Tampa Bay Lightning to a hard-fought seven-game series.
