The history of the Flames in the playoffs is full of tragedies. However, Reichel being robbed by McLean with an apparent open net on a three-on-one rush in overtime of Game 7 against the Canucks (1994?), only to have Bure score an all-time classic goal in double overtime, is one of the most tragic of all. I was 16 at the time but I recall weeping like a baby that night.
