You could make the argument that for most of the Flames teams in the 90's, and even 2000's, if they got through/over the pressure of round 1, most of the time they had the talent to go through another round or two at least. Of course, 1986,1989 and 2004 were no Game 7 1st round (1986 was second round) walks in the park.

Man, that Reichel. I always wanted to be a big fan of his, but boy did he ever choke in the big games.
