Biggest Playoff Upsets

[Olorin]

In '94, the Canucks overcame a 3-1 deficit to beat Calgary. I think the Canucks were the 7th seed and the Flames 2nd, but I'm not sure.

Was Bure's breakaway goal vs. Vernon the series winner, or am I mistaken?

Regardless, it was a good comeback.

Was the Rangers upset over the Isles in 1979 bought up? Can someone tell me what it was like? All I know is the stats and results but I would love a POV from a Rangers/Isles fan.
