This article discusses the efforts of the Calgary Flames hockey team in the 2003-2004 National Hockey League playoffs and goalie Miika Kiprusoff. Miikka Kiprusoff inched out of his crease, watching the puck, waiting as Tampa Bay Lightning center Brad Richards skated in alone on a shorthanded breakaway. Going into Game 5, he has a league-high five playoff shutouts and a tiny 1.83 goals-against average and has been the foundation for the Flames' improbable Stanley Cup pursuit. He created the first goal by backhanding the puck off the back of the net--a direct-from-the-pond move that flummoxed Calgary checker Stephane Yelle--then spinning 180 degrees and skating out with the puck. Jarome Iginla is a semiregular pugilist despite his day job as Calgary's top offensive threat, while Vincent Lecavalier had had just 10 fights in his six-year NHL career. David Marcoux, Calgary's goalie coach, convinced Kiprusoff that by shorting himself he was ceding space between his legs and got him to switch to 36 1/2-inch-long pads that extend farther up his thighs.
