In the postseason, the Flames swept the Chicago Black Hawks to win their first-ever playoff series in team history.

Page was named head coach of the Moncton Golden Flames of the American Hockey League for the 1984–85 season.

The Golden Flames struggled to a 32–40–8 record, earning 72 points and finishing in last place in the North Division, failing to qualify for the postseason.

In the division finals, the Flames upset the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions, the Edmonton Oilers, in a thrilling seven game series.

In the playoffs, Minnesota nearly pulled off the upset against the top ranked Chicago Blackhawks in the division semifinals, however, the club lost in seven games.

Following the season, Pagé resigned as head coach of the North Stars to become the general manager of the Quebec Nordiques.

During the 1990–91 season, Pagé traded Michel Petit, Lucien DeBlois and Aaron Broten to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Scott Pearson and two second round draft picks, as the Nordiques continued their rebuild.

Following a disappointing 3–14–1 start to the season, Pagé fired head coach Chambers and named himself as the replacement, while retaining his general manager duties.

On June 20, 1992, after not being to sign Eric Lindros, Page traded him to the Philadelphia Flyers for Steve Duchesne, Ron Hextall, Kerry Huffman, Mike Ricci, Chris Simon, the rights to Peter Forsberg, a first-round draft pick in both 1993 and 1994, and $15 million.

The Nordiques had been negotiating with both the New York Rangers and the Flyers, and had separately come to an agreement with both teams, creating confusion as to which of the two offers was valid.

Lindros became a superstar, as widely expected, in Philadelphia, but the bounty received by the Nordiques turned the team's on-ice fortunes completely around.

A holdout by Steve Duchesne, their top offensive defenseman the year before, and injuries to key players including Nolan plagued Quebec throughout the season, and the team struggled to a 34–42–8 record, earning 76 points, and missing the playoffs.

Following a very disappointing 0–7–3 start to the 1995–96 season, Pagé finally won his first game with Calgary on October 31, as the Flames defeated the Los Angeles Kings 2–1.

Pagé and the Flames turned their season around, as Calgary was able to finish in second place in the Pacific Division with a 34–37–11 record, earning 79 points, and a berth into the postseason.

The Mighty Ducks struggled during the season, finishing with a 26–43–13 record and sixth place in the Pacific Division, failing to qualify for the postseason.

He was the sporting director and head coach of EC Red Bull Salzburg in the Erste Bank Hockey League (EBEL) in Austria.

The team won their international pre-season tournament (Red Bull Salute), the IIHF Continental Cup, and the Austrian championship.
