Level Five Answers

  1. The Calgary Flames needed to use six different goalies in 1998-1999.
    • BONUS: The six different goalies were: Fred Brathwaite, Ken Wregget, Jean-Sebastian Giguere, Tyler Moss, Tyrone Garner, and Andrei Trefilov. Remember: If you just got three of these right, go ahead and give yourself an extra bonus point.
  2. Doug Gilmour had the series winning goal against the Montreal Canadiens in 1989 in the Stanley Cup Final when the Flames won the cup.
  3. Jamie Macoun was known as the Flames “third goalie” because of his ability to block shots when the goaltender was outside of the crease.
  4. The most amount of goals that the Flames have scored in a game is 13 goals.
  5. The total amount of Sutters that have been in someway or another involved in the Flames organization is six: Duane, Darryl, Brent, Ron, Brian, and Brett. But if you said 7, you can also get a point since Shaun Sutter was drafted by Calgary, but never did anything with the team after that.
  6. The Flames are called the Flames because they kept that name from the name in Atlanta when they were the Atlanta Flames. Atlanta named their team the Flames to commemorate the burning of the city by General Sherman in the Civil War. When the team moved to Calgary, management held a contest/vote, and the fans chose to keep the Flames name, which also relates to Alberta’s petroleum industry (Source). If you just got that it was named due to the burning of Atlanta, then you can have the point.
  7. The referee who Flames fans don’t like (and he doesn’t like the Flames either) who called a controversial tripping penalty in game 7 against the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2004, where the Bolts scored and won the series and the cup is Kerry Fraser.
  8. During the 2004-2005 lockout, Rhett Warrener played for the Iron Maiden which is a beer league in Calgary. Fun fact: My manager at work was a ref and kicked him out of a game for a high stick.
  9. Denis Cyr was the first ever player drafted by the Calgary Flames.
  10. When the Flames won the cup in 1989, the feat they completed was being the only team in NHL history to defeat the Montreal Canadiens and win the Stanley Cup at the Forum on Montreal Forum ice.
