In the end both franchises have had very few playoff wins, zero cups for 25+ years and 10 and 11 year Stanley cup final droughts
Yeah neither team has been very good. Edmonton has been historic levels of bad where Calgary was on the treadmill of mediocrity from 07-13 before deciding to rebuild.

This thread exists because there is a rival city and team 3 hours to our north. Both cities and canvases rip each other. Edmonton has the 80's and Calgary has everything else like being a far nicer more desirable city to live in. Edmonton has been easy to pile on and we take advantage that is what rivals do. They have McDavid and Rogers Place which a current feathers in their cap and they are coming back with some jabs. It is too be expected. Both places will always hate on each other. This thread will always exist
