Philly always tries to contend, never gets high picks, and has to stare as biggest rival Pittsburgh gets handed generational talents.

Calgary always tries to contend, never get high picks, and have to stare as biggest rival Edmonton get handed generational talents.

Flyers fans had to watch a warm climate West coast team win the cup in 11-12 as two fan favourites in Richards and Carter played a huge role in LA winning.

Flames fans now have to watch a warm climate East coast team go on a run in the playoffs in 22-23 as Tkachuk and Bennett play a huge role for the Panthers.

The parallels of the two teams always seem to be interlocked.
Another one... in about 2017 Nolan Patrick / Tyler Parsons were both teams' respective top prospects... a #1C and a 1G if things had panned out
