Should have won round one 94 and 95, and could have gone all the way. Those ones sting.

In 2017, If our goaltending was merely 15th worst out of all the teams in the playoffs, rather than worst, we are probably tied 2-2 or up 3-1 after 4 games.
If our goaltending had been even average in the series, we would have swept the Ducks.
The Flames goalies gave up 7 goals on low danger scoring chances in that series - in 4 games. All 4 games were 1 goal games. Do the math.
By the way, the 4 semi finalist teams had given up a COMBINED 6 such goals in the first two rounds of the playoffs.
