If there’s one team the Calgary Flames will forever be compared to, it’s the Edmonton Oilers. Since the Flames arrived in Alberta in 1980, they’ve been in a battle with the Oilers for provincial supremacy.
2021-22 looks to be a season where the Oilers have an edge in the battle, primarily due to the fact that Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are excellent hockey players who score all kinds of goals.
2020-21 recap
The Oilers went 35-19-2 last season with 72 points, second in the North Division (and just five points behind Toronto for first place).
