15 years ago, the Flames probably scored on Tampa Bay in Game 6

June 5, 2004 is a date that likely causes stress among the Calgary Flames’ faithful fans. On that date, the Flames lost 3-2 in double overtime to the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final. Well, at least according to video review guidelines of that day.

Martin Gelinas appeared to beat Nikolai Khabibulin with a redirect with his skate to put the Flames up 3-2 in the third period of Game 6. But play was not stopped, the goal was not signaled, and the game continued. The Flames had the chance to win the Stanley Cup on home ice and instead lost in double overtime, eventually losing the series in seven stressful games.
