I don't know guys. Don't get the provincial rival thing anymore. Got it when I was a kid living in Calgary and the Oilers had Gretzky, Messier, Kurri, Semenko and they were the team to beat. Got it when Calgary and Edmonton were economic rivals. Granted I've lived away from Calgary for 20 years but I just don't give a damn about Edmonton. Have to go there for work from time to time and the city is about 20-30 years behind Calgary. I find the city sad. I can't get excited about the Oilers winning the Cup but I couldn't be bothered hating them or cheering for the Ducks who have been far more of a nemesis to the Flames in the past 10 years plus than the Oilers and are the least likeable team in hockey.
