The 2 Kings teams had Sutter, who utilizes a system that is specifically meant for playoff success, and the correct type of roster construction that is suited for that system.
The Blues had the hottest goalie in the world for 6 months and one of the best records in the league in the 2nd half of that season.
So these are special circumstances that have never applied to the Flames, outside of '04.

The LA teams were far better than their seeding would suggest. They had three hall of famers that they drafted and a top coach.
The Blues were allowed to mug their way to a Cup. Berube dared the refs to call penalties, and they did not.
