Thank You, C of Red!

The Flames finished off the regular season Thursday hosting the C of Red for Fan Appreciation Night.

And boy, did they put on a show.

Calgary dumped the visiting San Jose Sharks 5-1 at the Scotiabank Saddledome on an evening that featured some memorable milestones.

• MacKenzie Weegar scored his 20th of the season and made history in the process. It was his 17th even-strength goal, marking a new franchise high as it eclipsed the old mark of 16 held by the legendary Al MacInnis. He also become the first player in NHL history to score 20 goals and block 200 shots in the same season.

• Blake Coleman hit the 30-goal plateau for the first time in his career.

• Adam Klapka scored his first NHL goal and added a fight for good measure.

Young netminder Dustin Wolf was just 8.9 seconds from his first NHL shutout but was foiled at the end when Fabian Zetterlund scored on a very late powerplay.

Meanwhile, Nazem Kadri has some great looks but wasn't able to score his 30th, but finished with an extremely impressive 29 goals and team-leading 75 points.

Kevin Rooney and Oliver Kylington also tallied for the Flames.

Klapka got things started past the midway point of the opening frame, carrying the puck into the high slot and losing the handle before he could shoot, but getting it right back on his tape and wiring a wrister farside from the top of the faceoff circle at 12:13.

The keepsake puck made it to the bench as he high-fived his teammates from bench door to door.

Not long after, Kadri got a golden chance but Cooley fired out his right pad to rob him.

Coleman put one off the side of the net on his first look on a later shift, but - no worry - Connor Zary feathered a perfect pass to him on the backdoor less than 10 seconds later and he easily redirected it into the yawning cage at 14:40.

Cue Katy Perry’s Eye of the Tiger, accompanied by thunderous applause from the crowd.

Oh, and it just so happened that Rasmus Andersson picked up the other helper on the goal, his 200th career point.

Klapka and Givani Smith dropped the mitts less than three minutes into the second for a quick tussle to start another memorable period.

Kylington scored his third of the season at 3:53, Andrei Kuzmenko picking up another point in Flames silks with the primary assist.

Matt Coronato got the puck racing down the left-wing boards for a partial breakaway, cutting hard across the crease and Cooley making a pad stop, but the puck would end up on Rooney’s stick and he scored at 5:59.

Then came Weegar’s historic strike, the blueliner let a long-distance wrister through traffic that found twine at 6:56.

Calgary had outshot San Jose 23-8 at that point.

While Wolf didn’t see a lot of rubber, he made the big stops when called upon, including a beautiful poke check on Zetterlund as he cut in for a shot in the back half of the second period.
