Default Flames and Oilers heading in opposite directions

EDMONTON — The dichotomy is stark. Like the two towns, white collar Calgary and blue collar Edmonton. Except in hockey it is backwards.

The Calgary Flames lineup, on paper, looks like a quick and easy two points. Filled with a bunch of who’s-its and what’s-his-names drafted in later rounds — or in the case of their captain, not at all. And Edmonton, the World Juniors gang. A bunch of bonus babies all drafted in Round 1.

Edmonton is five years into a rebuild (and that’s being generous) and couldn’t spell W-I-N if you gave them the W and the I.
It's so much more enjoyable to watch the Flames rebuild go so smoothly when at the same time you can watch the tire fire up north for a direct comparison
