Fantastic, I say.

Sure, I'd love to see a Battle of Alberta, because I think the two teams are different then they were when those games were played. The Flames are playing well, the coaches have figured out the line combinations and the goaltending is far better then it was earlier in the year.
The Oilers just seem to be treading water or even falling off a bit. They're not a deep team, and in the playoffs depth means everything.
However, there's part of me that looks at the arrogance of that organization and fan, that makes me believe that they've learned nothing in their years of failure and they need another lesson in humility.
Frankly that team should have been relegated to the Millhouse Division (AHL) years ago, or when Katz did his emotional blackmail thing of touring Seattle the city and the province should have said "FFS man, just go, your not worth the money"
But instead we get a team that sounds like that weird cousin with the huge ego that you want nothing to do with and would rather punch him in the face and take the assault charges rather then listening to his inessential ramblings about how awesome he is.
The Oilers are truly the church of the poisoned mind, and I would laugh if they found a way to screw up their hot start by sliding into 9th.
