Oct 22, 1980. The first Flames-Oilers game, and the two owners had $2,000 on it. Edmonton won 5-3. Gretzky set up both of Semenko's goals. Afterward the Oilers said the rivalry "exists only in the fans' minds." flamesscoutwire.ca/articles/… #Flames #BattleOfAlberta

Did someone just say that Carels is “NHL ready”?!? #Flames
MN Hockey Dog@MNHockeyDogOct 24
NoDak’s team from an outside perspective: - Carels is a hell of a player. Unfortunately, I think he’s NHL ready by year end. - They can be out done physically - Verhoeff has only regressed since Day 1 - Reschny & Zellers need to be better even strength - Heil should play
