The Oilers absolutely owned Johnson's Flames for almost four years. It wasn't about what Johnson made them believe; it was that after years of patient building by Cliff Fletcher (culminating in the two spectacular trades that brought in Mullen and Tonelli) they finally became a team that could beat the Oilers.
Let's not devalue the accomplishment by reducing it to the level of a Jedi mind trick.
