The Calgary Flames have made it to three Stanley Cup Finals since relocating from Atlanta in 1980.
While the Flames beat the Montreal Canadiens in the 1989 championship series, they lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2004 and fell against the Habs in 1986.
Now, Calgary’s two finals opponents will face off against each other for the Stanley Cup. Tampa Bay, which defeated the Dallas Stars in the 2020 final, will try to capture a second consecutive title; Montreal, in its first final since 1993, will push for its 25th championship.
Both these teams feature personnel with strong ties to the Flames organization.
