You'd think a team that won it all wouldn't have a psychological barrier about getting past the first round but something was obviously wrong.

I agree, but it seems the 1990 series against the Kings really messed the team up and then the Oilers series the year after cemented that. It was a fragile core. The 1988 sweep against the Oilers and don't forget, it was another Game 7 OT that if it went the other way would have been disastrous in '89. Flames had 43 more points than the Canucks that season.
