In the playoffs, the Flames easily defeated the Los Angeles Kings four games to one, setting a franchise record that still stands by scoring 30 goals in a five game series.Playoff Records, 2006–07 Calgary Flames Media Guide, p. 224. The Flames season would once again be ended by their provincial archrivals, as the Edmonton Oilers swept Calgary out of the Smythe Division Finals en route to their fourth Stanley Cup in five years.
The Flames set numerous franchise records this season, including most wins (48), most home wins (26), most road wins (22), and most points (105), all of which that were tied or broken in 1988–89. The Flames 397 goals remains a franchise record,Year-by-year Results, 2006–07 Calgary Flames Media Guide, p. 106. and one of the highest totals in league history.
