It was the emotional battle of Alberta in November of last season where the Flames really took off and played as an elite team over the next 3 months. That was also after that game where the Oilers started to plummet in the standings. I can’t help but feel last nights game is going to have the same result.
Interesting the next BOA will be the second of a back to back for the Flames who play the Blues the night before. This happens to be their first game off the break. The BOA is Edmonton’s first game coming off the break so this may be the first time the team that played the night before has the clear advantage. We all saw how the Oilers played after the Christmas break.
