The 1995–96 Calgary Flames season was the 16th National Hockey League season in Calgary. The Flames entered the season with their fifth coach in five seasons, hiring Pierre Page to replace Dave King.〔(Flames turn to Page ), New York Times, July 18, 1995, accessed January 29, 2007〕 Page, who had previously been an assistant coach with the Flames in the 1980s, left his head coaching position with the Quebec Nordiques to move west. The Flames began the season with a disastrous start, posting a 4–15–5 record through the end of November. The team's poor start was exacerbated by the holdout of Joe Nieuwendyk, who was unable to reach a contract agreement with the Flames.〔Dolezar, Jon A., (Say it aint so: Calgary Flames ), cnnsi.com, August 8, 2001, Accessed January 29, 2007〕 Also, the Flames began the season on a long, seven game road trip while renovations to the Olympic Saddledome were completed.〔(Calgary Flames history ), calgaryflames.com, accessed January 29, 2007〕 The Flames reached a low point on October 27, 1995 when they set a franchise record for futility, recording just eight shots in a 3–0 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on home ice.〔(Boxscore: Detroit 3, Calgary 0 ), usatoday.com, accessed January 29, 2007〕 The Nieuwendyk saga finally came to a close when the Flames dealt him to the Dallas Stars for Corey Millen, and Western Hockey League star Jarome Iginla on December 19. Nieuwendyk immediately ended his holdout, signing a five-year, $11 million contract with Dallas.〔 The Flames began to turn the season around, led by Gary Roberts' comeback from neck injuries that had kept him out most of the 1994–95 season. Roberts' comeback lasted only 35 games before he was again sidelined with bone spurs and nerve damage in his neck. Roberts would score an incredible 22 goals and 42 points during that time, earning him the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy for perseverance and dedication to hockey.〔(Legends of Hockey player profile: Gary Roberts ), legendsofhockey.net, accessed January 29, 2007〕 The Flames recovered from their woeful start to finish second in the Pacific Division, and as the sixth seed in the Western Conference. The Flames were swept, however, by the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round of the playoffs, as the team once again failed to win a playoff series since they won the Stanley Cup in 1989. One notable player made his debut during the playoffs: Jarome Iginla, who would become a star for the flames for years to come. The Flames would not qualify for the playoffs again until 2004, missing the post season for the next seven years.〔(Longtime Flames relish playoff opportunity ), cbc sports, April 5, 2004, accessed January 29, 2007〕 Theoren Fleury represented the Flames at the 46th National Hockey League All-Star Game. It was the first since 1986 that the Flames had only one representative.〔All-Star Selections, ''2006–07 Calgary Flames Media Guide'', pg. 22〕 ==Regular season== 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「1995–96 Calgary Flames season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
