- The 2010–11 Calgary Flames season was the 31st season in Calgary and 39th for the Flames franchise in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Flames finished second in the Northwest Division but failed to qualify for the playoffs after finishing 10th in the Western Conference. It was the second consecutive season that the Flames missed the playoffs. The franchise reached two milestones during the season: In November, Curtis Glencross scored the 10,000th goal in franchise history dating back to the founding of the Atlanta Flames in 1972, and in January, the Flames played their 3,000th game. Calgary hosted the 2011 Heritage Classic, an outdoor game against the Montreal Canadiens. The Flames won the game 4–0 as goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff became the first goaltender to record a shutout in an NHL outdoor game. Individually, forward Craig Conroy played his 1,000th game before retiring mid season. Team captain Jarome Iginla scored his 500th career assist in January, then recorded his 1,000th point in March en route to leading the team in scoring with 86 points. Former owner Doc Seaman was posthumously inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. The season marked a turning point for the organization, as general manager Darryl Sutter announced in December that he was resigning from the position after eight years with the Flames. Assistant general manager Jay Feaster assumed full responsibility for the team on an interim basis. (en)
