The answer is that the hockey gods would not allow it. Because the iterations of these two teams, over those 30 years of darkness, were not worthy of this battle.
These two teams have EARNED the honour of becoming part of this battle! And now it is time to see which of these teams is the more worthy!

It's pretty easy when you look at the timelines/histories.
Edmonton = decade of darkness. No playoffs at all for a very, very long time.
Calgary = Young guns era. No playoffs for a very, very long time.
When we were bad, they were okay/good. When they were bad we were okay/good.
Just no chance to meet up if both teams don't make the dance.
