HOCKEY 🏒.... CALGARY & EDMONTON.....WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF The FLAMES And OILERS.....Meet in the NHL PLAYOFFS.

By a Staff Report: Hockey fans in Alberta have a lot to celebrate.



Both the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames have locked up spots in this upcoming post-season.





The Flames sit atop the Pacific Division with a 49-20-10 record. They became the third Western Conference club to nail down a playoff spot last weekend.

The Oilers and Flames have met five times in the post-season in the 1980s and early ‘90s. Edmonton took all of those series except for one, in which they scored on themselves in Game 7 to give the Flames the series victory.

Flames fans are feeling more confident this time around, with several telling, they would triumph in a potential provincial matchup.



Some hockey data analysts seem to back up that claim.

The Flames and Oilers have four of the top goal scorers in the league: Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk on the Flames, and Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on the Oilers.



“Regardless of who wins that, it will probably be talked about for a long, long time."
