The Calgary Flames played one of their Pacific division rivals, the Anaheim Ducks, at the Honda Center on Sunday evening. An arena that has had a curse on the Flames for over a decade. And now, it still holds.
The last time the Flames won a regular season game in this arena was on January 19, 2004. Sunday marked the 24th consecutive loss in this building.
Why this game, number 24, was special in particular, was because it marked the day the Flames would either break a curse, or break an NHL record.
We actually put out an article earlier today about everything you need to know about this curse and I was slightly optimistic.
