There will be rough stuff, that would be the battle of Alberta. Looking forward to it. Flames don't have a goon anymore but few guys that can handle themselves.

I am not advocating or expecting all out war... Just over the past 5 years or so the Oilers have had nobody taking a regular shift that offered any protection. Other teams, including the Flames, could bully RHN, Eberle and the response was to have Gadzic (or some other goon) stage a fight with the designated fighter on the other team.
It went on even longer..... Regehr-Hemsky.... Regehr could do what he did because there would be no one on the ice with Hemsky that could call Regehr out.
