I'd like to see Edmonton succeed, it will drive the Flames. There are two teams the Flames hate, and when the Oilers do well it will light a spark under our guys asses. I dislike the Oilers just like everyone else, but my hate of the Canucks is so much stronger that if Edmonton were to make it into the playoffs it wouldn't be so bad. At worst it makes our guys feel like they are underperforming. They are going on young talent right now, and are nowhere nearly as cocky as Vancouver. It's time for the Alberta rivalry to actually mean something in the league.
