Ugh. This series is always tough to revisit for me because I truly think this Flames team could have won the cup that season if they got past EDM. Regardless, this series was an absolute battle and as dirty as they get. There used to be a 'Classic Series' breakdown of this on YT but it looks like it has been removed.

This along with the 94 series against Vancouver and 95 against SJ are the toughest for me to revisit as those teams as well were built to go on runs.

Something that never occurred to me until I rewatched the game yesterday. Where was Sergei Makarov? He didn’t play in game 6. Can’t remember if he played game 7.

HockeyDB says he played 3 games in that series. Was he injured? Could have been a difference maker.

That and elbows were all Messier could do defensively.
I was at game 2 when he smoked Natress. Dirty, dirty player.

I was always under the impression that he was hurt. Don't quote me on that. I believe he also missed majority of the 93 series against LAK due to an injury.

I could see the Flames beating the Kings in the 2nd round. The 3rd round against the North Stars would've been tough. The underdog Stars were amazing when they were on the power play. They were deadly with all the PPGs through out the playoffs that year. Being a kid back then, I thought they had magic on the PP. The Penguins were a team of destiny that year.
