1982–83 Calgary Flames season

==Regular Season==
Despite finishing the season below .500, the Flames had their best ever finish in the division standings, placing second in the Smythe Division.Year-by-year results, 2006–07 Calgary Flames Media Guide, p. 106. In the playoffs, Calgary was able to avenge the previous season's defeat at the hands of the Vancouver Canucks by knocking off Vancouver in four games. In the second round, the Flames met up with their provincial rivals, the Edmonton Oilers, for the first time. The series would not be close, as Edmonton powered past Calgary in five games, including humiliating 10–2 and 9–1 victories over the Flames.
"Badger" Bob Johnson replaced Al MacNeil as the team's head coach prior to the season. Johnson would go on to coach 400 games with the Flames, and win 193 games in five seasons, both of which remain Flames records.Head Coaches, 2006–07 Calgary Flames Media Guide, p. 103. Johnson would later gain election into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1992.Bob Johnson profile at http://www.legendsofhockey.net, accessed December 16, 2007.
Lanny McDonald, in his first full season in Calgary, had a career year, battling Wayne Gretzky for the scoring lead all season long. McDonald finished the season five goals behind Gretzky, but his mark of 66 remains a Flames record.1982–83 season, 2006–07 Calgary Flames Media Guide, p. 129. McDonald was the Flames representative at the 1983 All-Star Game,All-Star selections, 2006–07 Calgary Flames Media Guide, p. 22. and was awarded the Bill Masterton Trophy for perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to the game.Bill Masterton Trophy winner at http://www.legendsofhockey.net, accessed December 16, 2007.
