The 1983-84 Calgary Flames season was the fourth season in Calgary and 12th for the Flames franchise in the National Hockey League. The Flames finished in second place in the Smythe Division, earning a first round playoff match-up against the Vancouver Canucks. Calgary defeated Vancouver in four games to face the top team in the NHL, the Edmonton Oilers. The Flames took the series to the maximum seven games, ultimately falling to the Oilers in the seventh game by a 7-4 score.
The Flames moved into the Olympic Saddledome in 1983.
The Flames moved into their new arena, the Olympic Saddledome after spending their first three seasons playing out of the Stampede Corral. Built at a cost of $100 million CAD, the Saddledome was also set to serve as a venue for the 1988 Winter Olympics.[Pengrowth Saddledome history, accessed December 15, 2007] The arena\'s distinctive roof lent itself to the arena\'s name. The first game was played on October 15, 1983 against the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers would win the game 4-3.
Also debuting for the Flames in 1983-84 was the team\'s mascot, Harvey the Hound. Harvey became the first mascot in the NHL when he debuted February 16, 1984. Harvey was also briefly the mascot of the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League, but would later be replaced by the Stamps with their own mascot, Ralph the Dog.[Mascot Madness, cbc.ca, accessed February 24, 2007]
Lanny McDonald was the Flames lone representative at the 1984 All-Star Game, while both Hakan Loob and Jamie Macoun were named to the NHL\'s All-Rookie team.[Award Winners, 2006-07 Calgary Flames Media Guide, pg. 22]
