I honestly thought that they would beat the Stars. The Flames just felt like a team of destiny at that point even though there was no way that the Flames were going to beat the Islanders.
Yeah as I recall they even had home ice against the Stars. As you say, we knew they wouldn't beat the Islanders.

As a kid, I guess I thought playoff success for Flames would be easy. Boy did I learn that lesson.
