The 2005–06 Calgary Flames season was the 26th NHL season in Calgary while the team celebrated its 25th season of play. The off-season following the lockout provided ominous news for the hockey starved city of Calgary as GM Darryl Sutter announced he would not re-sign free-agent Martin Gelinas, the 2004 Stanley Cup Playoffs clutch performer, for the 2005–06 NHL season.〔http://www.lfpress.com/sports/hockey/2010/04/10/13539811.html〕 Instead Sutter brought in three ageing veterans, Bryan Marchment, Tony Amonte and Darren McCarty, as free-agent reclamation projects to start the season.〔The Calgary Sun, April 11, 2010, Sports Pullout, p.9〕 Nonetheless, the season began with high expectations following their surprising run to the 2004 Stanley Cup Finals. The season opened with a disappointing October, as the Flames started 4–7–2 before an eight-game November winning streak propelled Calgary back into contention in the National Hockey League's Northwest Division. The Flames would battle the Colorado Avalanche down the stretch, ultimately finishing eight points ahead of both Colorado and the Edmonton Oilers to capture the team's sixth division crown in franchise history.〔Calgary Flames Media Guide – 2005–06 NHL statistics, pg. 146〕 However, the playoffs proved the team was missing the "killer instinct"〔 necessary for playoff success, as they fell in the first round to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in seven games. Star goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff proved that 2003–04 was no fluke, leading the NHL in shutouts and goals against average while setting a franchise record for wins with 42.〔Calgary Flames Media Guide – Individual records, pg. 214〕 Kiprusoff's exploits would win him the Vezina Trophy and William M. Jennings Trophy, along with being named a first team all-star. Kiprusoff was also a finalist for the Hart Trophy.〔(2006 Award Winners ), nhl.com, accessed November 27, 2006〕 Rookie phenom Dion Phaneuf earned a nomination for the Calder Memorial Trophy after his 20-goal campaign set a franchise record for goals by a rookie defenceman, and fell just three shy of Brian Leetch's league record of 23, set in 1988–89.〔(NHL announces trophy finalists ), nhl.com, accessed November 27, 2006〕 The Flames sold out all 45 home games in 2005–06 as 19,289 fans packed the Pengrowth Saddledome for every regular season and playoff game played in Calgary. At the 2006 Winter Olympics, three Flames players represented their countries. Jarome Iginla and Robyn Regehr both represented Canada, while Jordan Leopold represented the United States.〔(Jordan Leopold ), usolympicteam.com, accessed January 22, 2007〕 Miikka Kiprusoff was also named to the Finnish team, however declined to go citing an injury.〔(Kiprusoff bows out of Olympics ), cbc sports, December 23, 2005, accessed January 22, 2007〕 ==Regular season== The Flames finished first in shutouts for, with 10, and allowed the fewest goals in the League, with just 193 (excluding shootout goals allowed).〔http://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2006.html〕〔http://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2006_games.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「2005–06 Calgary Flames season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
