FlamesNation Mailbag: on the eve of the Battle of Alberta

After three freakin’ decades, friends, it’s almost here. The Calgary Flames will play the Edmonton Oilers in the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs. (And it only took a multi-year pandemic and how many years of playoff disappointment for both teams for us to get here…) To commemorate this occasion, we will do what we do every week: the mailbag!

Let’s dive in!

Does Matthew Tkachuk have a bigger impact against Kassian, Kane than he did with the Stars?

Honestly, Matthew Tkachuk and/or Milan Lucic and/or Nikita Zadorov against the Oilers heavies (like Evander Kane and Zack Kassian) is going to be a storyline to watch in this series.
