The 1991–92 Calgary Flames season was the 12th National Hockey League season in Calgary, 20th season overall for the franchise which was founded in 1972. This season represented the start of a new era for the Flames, as Cliff Fletcher, the only general manager the franchise had ever known, left the team to take up the same position with the Toronto Maple Leafs.〔Shea, Kevin, (One on One with Cliff Fletcher ), legendsofhockey.net, accessed May 14, 2007〕 Doug Risebrough, Fletcher's former assistant, took over the reins for the Flames. Fletcher quickly took advantage of his former team, orchestrating one of the largest trades in NHL history, a ten-player mega deal that saw disgruntled forward Doug Gilmour go to the Leafs, along with Ric Nattress, Jamie Macoun, Rick Wamsley and Kent Manderville for former 50–goal scorer Gary Leeman, Michel Petit, Jeff Reese, Alexander Godynyuk and Craig Berube.〔Dolezar, Jon A., (Say it aint so: Calgary Flames ), cnnsi.com, August 8, 2001, Accessed May 14, 2007〕 The deal is often regarded as one of the most lopsided in NHL history,〔〔Patrick, Anthony, (Fear and Loathing in Calgary ), Calgarypuck, June 8, 2001, accessed May 14, 2007〕 and helped transform both clubs, as the formerly inept Leafs quickly rose to contention, making two trips to the conference finals in 1993 and 1994. The deal marked the beginning of the Flames' decline, which saw them ultimately bottom out by missing the playoffs for seven straight seasons between 1996 and 2003.〔(Gilmour begins again with Leafs in Calgary ), cbc.ca, March 13, 2003, accessed May 14, 2007〕 Prior to the season, the Flames lost defenceman Rick Lessard to the San Jose Sharks in the 1991 NHL Dispersal and Expansion Drafts. The Flames finished 5th in the Smythe Division, seven points behind the 4th place Winnipeg Jets and out of the playoffs. It was the first time the Flames had missed the playoffs since 1975, when they were known as the Atlanta Flames and their first losing season since 1982–83〔Year-by-year results, ''2006–07 Calgary Flames Media Guide'', pg. 106〕 Individually, three Flames represented the Campbell Conference at the 1992 All-Star Game: Forwards Gary Roberts and Theoren Fleury, and defenceman Al MacInnis.〔All-star selections, ''2006–07 Calgary Flames Media Guide'', pg. 22〕 Roberts' 53 goals tied him for third in the NHL, behind Brett Hull (70) and Kevin Stevens (54).〔(1991–92 scoring leaders ), hockeydb.com, accessed May 14, 2007〕 Fleury and MacInnis also represented Canada at the 1991 Canada Cup, winning the tournament.〔(1991 Canada Cup - Team Canada roster ), hhof.com, accessed May 16, 2007〕 MacInnis was named a tournament all-star. Joel Otto and Gary Suter suited up for the Americans.〔(1991 Canada Cup - Team USA roster ), hhof.com, accessed May 16, 2007〕 ==Regular season== On Monday, November 4, 1991, the Flames were shut out 4-0 by the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. The Flames had not been shut out in a regular-season game since Sunday, February 26, 1989, when they lost 1-0 on the road to the Winnipeg Jets. Prior to their loss in New York, the Flames had gone 188 consecutive regular-season games without being shut out.〔http://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/CGY/1989_games.html〕〔http://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/CGY/1990_games.html〕〔http://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/CGY/1991_games.html〕〔http://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/CGY/1992_games.html〕 The Flames' penalty-killing struggled during the regular season, as they most power-play goals (107) in the NHL. They were also the most penalized team in the league, being short-handed 489 times.〔http://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_1992.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1991–92 Calgary Flames season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
