Keenan entered the season sixth all-time in the NHL in wins. General manager Darryl Sutter spent big bucks on Cory Sarich. He also acquired Adrian Aucoin (and his $4 million annual salary) in a trade.https://lfpress.com/sports/hockey/2010/04/10/13539811.html Flames' fall from glory Hockey Sports London Free Press 2018-10-04 2017-08-16 https://web.archive.org/web/20170816004615/http://www.lfpress.com/sports/hockey/2010/04/10/13539811.html dead Owen Nolan,Owen Nolan - Notes - NHL.com - Players Anders Eriksson,Anders Eriksson - Notes - NHL.com - Players and Mark SmithMark Smith - Notes - NHL.com - Players are all brought in as GM Sutter's free-agent reclamation projects.The Calgary Sun, April 11, 2007, Sports Pullout p. 9 Sutter is unable to come to terms with Mark Giordano, and the highly rated prospect heads to the Dynamo Moscow in Russia instead of the NHL.Mark Giordano, Flames - Notes - NHL.com - Players Sports writer Steve MacFarlane observes that "The team looks like it has no direction—and no confidence in an unpredictable coach".

Regular season Divisional standings CAL Conference standings CAL Playoffs The Flames finished 7th in the Western Conference with 94 points, earning a first-round match-up against the Pacific Division champion San Jose Sharks. It was the third time the two teams had met in the playoffs, with the Sharks defeating the Flames in seven games in the first round of the 1995 playoffs, while the Flames defeated San Jose in six games in the 2004 Western Conference final. After splitting the first two games in San Jose, the Flames gave up three goals to the Sharks in the first 3½ minutes of the game, but came back to win 4–3. In doing so, the Flames became only the second team in NHL history, after the 1985 Minnesota North Stars to come back from a 3–0 deficit in the first ten minutes of a playoff game.https://archive.today/20120715060101/http://scores.espn.go.com/nhl/recap?gameId=280413003 Game Story: San Jose 3, Calgary 4, espn.com, April 13, 2008.
