Battle of Alberta?
More like the dispute at the dome.
One would hope that this game brings out the best in both clubs, but I expect nothing of the sort. The Flames checked out 2 weeks ago, the Oilers dont look like they care about much of anything.
If this was 25-30 years ago, you could be assured there would be blood spilled at every turn. Literally. Didn't matter what was going on standings wise, these two teams had a genuine and tangible hate for each other. Now? These guys will hang out together in Hawaii in a couple weeks.
I hope I am dead wrong as I will invest my 2 1/2 hours to watch...after giving away tickets to be there in person.
