Flames fans will have playoff hockey in Calgary as Wranglers advance

It may not have been what was wished for ahead of the season, but Calgary Flames fans will get to see playoff hockey at the Saddledome.

The Flames wound up missing playoffs by a wide margin, finishing the season with a 38-39-5 record. The Wranglers, however, were able to sneak in having finished seventh in the Pacific Division.

Despite their mediocre regular season, some thought an upset over the Tucson Roadrunners in the opening round was possible with Dustin Wolf, Matt Coronato, Adam Klapka, and Ilya Solovyov all returning. That turned out to be exactly the case.

Playoff hockey is coming home!
