Oilers leaving Flames behind in Battle of Alberta

Edmonton officially passed Calgary Saturday night, in both the macro and micro sense of the word.

Calgary has been the better franchise for many years. They are not anymore, and are firmly in the chase position from this point forward.

The Flames are stalled for now, trying to figure out how to be any good in front of sub-par goaltending, wondering if leaders like Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan are the real deal, truly able to carry this team beyond its current state.

Calgary’s a wild card team at best now, while the Oilers are well in contention for the Pacific Division lead.

It’s a big change in Alberta, and it won’t be changing back soon.
