They also rebounded from some terrible goals against and came back from 3-0 on the road to tie it but couldn’t get the go ahead. Edmonton dominated 1 game of the series and the rest was a toss up.

I don't disagree about the Dallas series, the Flames were clearly the better team. But Dallas just wasn't very good.
Against the Oilers I disagree totally, it never felt after game 1 that the Flames were in the driver's seat. People want to throw Markstom under the bus and rightfully so but the reality is Smith wasn't any better. Saying that goaltending cost Flames the series is a cop out. Both teams got trash goaltending.
