FGD 71: A very important Battle of Alberta (7pm MT, SN West)

Ladies and gentlemen, around these parts we’ve been clamouring for an important edition of the Battle of Alberta for years. Tonight’s contest between the Calgary Flames (34-26-10) and the Edmonton Oilers (30-34-4) is important for both sides for very different reasons. The Flames are in desperate need of points as they try to stay alive in the Western Conference playoff race. The Oilers are trying to push themselves back to the .500 mark and prevent our pals at OilersNation from having to wear turkey hats, shorts, or eat beets. It’s a desperate team from Calgary facing a team from Edmonton with nothing to lose.
