Preview
Calgary at Edmonton

Calgary comes off a 5-3 victory over the visiting Avalanche on Thursday. It was Darryl Sutter's 700th coaching victory, making him the 11th coach in NHL history to reach that milestone.

"It means a lot," said Sutter, who coached the Los Angeles Kings to Stanley Cup championships in 2012 and 2014. "It means I coached four good teams."


Oilers & Flames Becoming “Death Valley” Again for Opponents

History may be about to repeat itself. Longtime fans of the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames may remember the heyday of the two clubs. For eight consecutive seasons between 1983 and 1990, the Stanley Cup Final featured either the Oilers or Flames. At the time, Alberta’s teams earned the unofficial nickname of Death Valley because it was where wins went to die for visiting teams.
With Flames and Oilers in top form, Battle of Alberta set to return with a vengeance

You want bad blood? You want fists and fury? You want hostility? Forget about the Battle of Ontario. That’s like choosing ground chuck over Wagyu beef. What you really savour is the Calgary Flames and the Edmonton Oilers.
On Saturday night Alberta’s acrimonious rivals will meet in Edmonton for their first of three bouts in 2022-23. They will probably spend hours beforehand sewing brass knuckles into their gloves and sharpening their shivs.
Let’s just take a minute or two to review a few high points from their sordid past.
