Part 3 of the best of 5 for 2020 edition of the Battle of Alberta was thus far the most anticipated. In the last meeting just two weeks ago, the Flames came out with a win, but the sub-text included Matthew Tkachuk’s railroading of Zack Kassian. Kassian received a two game suspension and complained non-stop for two weeks. His team needs points, and they’re not getting them from the Flames. That hasn’t stopped the incessant complaining from Kassian the Oilers.
The feud, however, seems to have ignited the age old rivalry between the two provincial teams. Calgary and Edmonton haven’t been good at the same time since the 80s.
