Really, as annoying it would be for the Canucks and their obnoxious fans to have won the cup, especially in the disgusting manner they tried to accomplish it, the Oilers somehow managing to pull that one out would've been as bad or worse. Calgary's natural rivalry will also be first and foremost Edmonton, no matter how putrid their teams may be currently.
Attending many games over the past decade in Edmonton, the hate of Calgary there is real, and the gloating about 5 Cups eventually comes up as the Flames wax the Oilers each year the past half decade. In Vancouver, in addition to the dislike tfor non burning German automobiles, the dislike at GM Place is anyone that wears an opponent jersey more as a distraction for some loudmouth fans, as opposed to a true hate for Calgary.
In Edmonton that hate is there, and at any point, that 2006 would be rubbed in Calgary's face smugly and incessently.
Happy Carolina Day!
