yeah, I was referring to their revisionist history - they were calling the Flames the fluke team, whereas at least the Flames slayed the mightiest of all dragons- the Habs were the 5th highest seed (I think, or 4th) in their conference in the playoffs but didn't have to upset anyone thanks to the Whalers (who they had a tough series of their own with) and the Rangers
