I remember the playoff series with King as the coach and Reichel had one glorious chance after another to finish game 7 and couldn’t do it. I th it i i in t was the Canucks series?

IIRC King had some crack about what he would do differently and it had something to do with having someone other than Reichel all alone with the puck in front of the net. I don’t have details right but that’s how I remember it.
