But then what happened? Oilers won the Cup the next year and any spark the flames had was gone.
Also, as someone who didn’t grow up in AB, and who was an 11 year old, Edmonton was considered a much cooler city just because of West Edmonton Mall. It was way easier to do a weekend trip from Saskatoon. You could go see a game, hit up West Edmonton Mall and make a mini trip out of it. There were regular bus tours out of Saskatoon that did this as well.
Obviously I know better now as far as which is the better city, but from the outside looking in, it’s not easy to tell.
