94: Having a 3-1 lead then losing three straight in overtime pretty much says it all. I think another reason it stung more than 95 is because I truly think the Flames could have made the finals if they won this series.

95: Outscoring the Sharks by that much and still losing and on top of it, getting upset for a third year in a row.

Good stuff, agree with you, and heartbreaking. May as well continue it. The 90 and 93 series against the Kings, it's bizarre how the Kings lit up the Flames back up goalie badly. The 91 series against the Oilers, that one hurts the most.

90: Very similar things you said about the 93 series happened here too. The Flames were by far the better team than the Kings. In game 4 Vernon gets pulled after 3 goals on 7 shots with Rick Wamsley taking over and he was brutal (9 goals on 23 shots). The Kings won 12-4.

91: Being down 3-1 and coming back to tie the series for a BOA game 7. Fleury's OT winner in game 6, all was good and then up 3-0 in the deciding game. The roof caved in after that with bleeping Tikkanen getting the hat trick. The Flames were once again the better team here and could have made it at least to the 3rd round.
