Almost every Stanley Cup finalist will have a 7 game series on the way, often a game 7 OT.
Flames barely made it out if round 1 in 89 & 2004 too.

If you go to game 7 in overtime, you barely made it. Not lazy, just a fact. They could have just as easily had one more goal scored on them and we'd be lamenting another first round loss.
Doesn't negate the fact they persevered and will be better for it. But they definitely squeaked through the first round.
Losing a game 7 overtime in round 1 is a lot different than the conference final.
