Just don't get it.
Would I rather have the Battle of Alberta be intense, tight-matched close games? No, I wouldn't. I'd rather see the Flames embarrass the Oilers every game by 5-6 goals every game for the rest of their franchise lengths, if I could have it one way.
I'm very happy to have witnessed the Canucks go to the Cup finals twice and lose both times. Twice is enough though and too close to be honest. I'd prefer they never get close enough again to winning the cup.

I was born in 1983. The only series between the two teams that I really got to witness was the 1991 series. I vaguely remember 1988. The 1989 cup run is the year I actually started kind of watching and understanding what is going on.
I see other rivalries like Boston Montreal span decades and every generation has had a chance to witness it, while the BOA died in 1991-92ish.
I guess I just want to be a part of it like my dad was in the 1980s.
