Number 3 – Game 6 Against Vancouver, 2015

I feel like I start them all like this, but this was also a good one. Like I already mentioned, the Calgary Flames were known as the comeback kids in the 2014-15 season. And the playoffs were no different.

Making the playoffs in their Cinderella story of a season wasn’t easy, especially since they hadn’t made the playoffs for six years. And they hadn’t made it past the first round in 11 years.

They would be playing one of their biggest rivals in the first round: the Vancouver Canucks. The Flames took the first game and they were up 3-2 in the series. Since Vancouver had home-ice advantage, game 6 would be spent in Calgary. Exactly how the Flames would want it.

But the game didn’t start off great at all. In fact, it was somewhat of a disaster.

After letting in two goals in the first eight minutes of the game, Flames goaltender Jonas Hiller was replaced by Karri Ramo. But with some bad plays by the Flames, the Canucks would have a powerplay and the goalie change didn’t quite matter that much. Because just two minutes after it happened, the Canucks made it 3-0.

I remember being at the bar with my friend and after that third goal she just kind of looks at me sadly and says, “Wow, sorry man.”

Moving on, like I said, the Flames were the comeback kids. So when there was just three minutes left of the first period and Micheal Ferland made cut the lead to two, the crowd went wild. It was as if he just scored a game winning goal with a minute left of the game.

Suddenly, the Calgary Flames were ignited.

Now it’s time for the second period and the Flames were on the powerplay. A minute in, and they make it a one-goal game. The players are feeling it, the crowd is feeling it. We were in for a great game. Not even five minutes later, the Flames tie up the game. Now there’s over half the game left and we’ve got a 3-3 hockey game.

But don’t get too excited because the Canucks managed to make it 4-3 with a little less than ten minutes to go in the the second period. The score would remain like that until the third period. The Flames definitely started the third period as the weaker team. Canucks were all over them for the first five minutes before the Flames finally caught a break by getting a powerplay.

And boy did they put that powerplay to good use. With 13:46 left, we’ve got a tie game again!

The Flames again were ignited. Then something fun happened.

With less than five minutes to go in a tie-game, the Canucks unfortunately had a turnover in the neutral zone. David Jones shoots…. and save. Then Micheal Ferland gets the rebound and.. save. But then, Matt Stajan grabs the puck, takes an extra second before shooting, and… SCORES! The Flames are now up 5-4 with less than five to go in the game. The players on the ice are going crazy, the bench is absolutely losing their minds, and the crowd is as loud as ever.

Add a couple of empty-netters to the mix and the Flames came back from a 3-0 deficit to winning the game 7-4. I told you we were in for a good hockey game. This also means they would advance to the second round for the first time in 11 years. The crowd was on fire!

This is definitely the video that I watch the most often. It gets me so pumped and ready for the hockey season to start again.
