The Calgary Flames were the darling story in the Western Conference last season, taking many media projections that had them in them at the bottom of the standings and flipping the script, en route to finishing third in the Pacific division and nabbing a spot in the Western Conference playoffs. The Flames were in the postseason for the first time since 2009, and they didn’t disappoint when they got there.
Facing the Vancouver Canucks in the first round, Calgary jumped at the opportunity of pulling off an upset and completed it, taking the series in six games. The Flames ended the series with an emphatic 7-4 victory (winning their first playoff series since 2004 in the process) before falling to the Anaheim Ducks in five games in the second round.
The rebuild is officially over, and now the Flames look to build on their out-of-the-blue success. Although they arrived quicker than anticipated, the Flames expect to stay near the top and qualify for the postseason for a second consecutive year.
With the schedule for next season released, below is information from SeatSmart.com for the most expensive Calgary Flames tickets on the secondary market to look at some key dates for the upcoming campaign.
