Yeah, I don't think the majority of Flames fans still grasp how dire that situation was at the time...both the short term and long term implications of another Oilers cup.
Instead, in the end, justice was served and being so close pushed Lowe even further into his egotistical control of the team. Having to re-sign MacT after not renewing him before the regular season ended, then giving huge deal to Horcoff and Pisani, while having to deal with the pathetic way he hoodwinked Pronger, which has set the PA against him ever since.
In addition to the clutch win for Carolina in that game 7, don't forget eliminating the Leafs in 2002...between that and the '93 Kings, if not for them, we'd still be seeing highlights of the Leafs in the SCF back then, now.
