JamieHOST
So that has been just a sampling of some of the great 1980s sports rivalries.
JamieHOST
Other notable honorable mentions include the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames and the Battle of Alberta.
JamieHOST
There was marvelous Marvin Hagler versus Sugar Ray and their 1987 era-defining fight.
JamieHOST
There was the Mets and the Cardinals, the Bears and the Packers, in England and Argentina in world football matches, including the infamous 1986 World Cup and Diego Maradona's hand of God goal.
Cam TateHOST
Grateful to be back doing what he loves.
Cam TateHOST
A couple of nights earlier, the Oilers' TV cameras caught a quiet moment inside the dressing room right after a bruising, hard-fought Battle of Alberta against Calgary.
Cam TateHOST
Babcock stood in the doorway of the dressing room, sweat dripping, tape littering the floor, ice bags everywhere.
Cam TateHOST
He didn't yell.

Pat SteinbergHOST
Uh, John in Calgary, "Patty, thank the heavens, uh, you and Logo and team are back on.
Pat SteinbergHOST
Uh, quick little what the heck moment.
Pat SteinbergHOST
Uh, how is the Battle of Alberta on a Saturday not have any TV time?" Fair enough.
Pat SteinbergHOST
"Question: how does the waiver claim affect the team? Englund seemed to have a decent game the other day.
speaker_0HOST
For goals, one night, a sweep of Calgary in the Battle of Alberta.
speaker_1HOST
And a 4-1 victory that leaves the Oilers sitting pretty at 4-0-0 and first in the Pacific Division.
speaker_1HOST
Right? Because let's be honest, the headlines outside the rink have been loud.
Eric FriesenHOST
I've been to the Saddledome, I believe, eight times, mostly for WHL games with my uncle when I was living there.
Eric FriesenHOST
But the only Battle of Alberta I ever saw in that building was in 2019 when...
Eric FriesenHOST
It was a bittersweet night.
Eric FriesenHOST
We were actually hosting our charity hockey game that we have here at the website in Calgary that year.
Eric FriesenHOST
And after the game, we all went to watch the Battle of Alberta, last game of the regular season.
Eric FriesenHOST
We got to see Leon Dreisaitl score his 50th goal of the season, becoming the first Oiler in... 30 years 31 years to to score uh they hit the 50 mark but unfortunately mcdavid also got injured shortly thereafter so we all kind of left the building with an empty feeling though we saw something amazing uh first time in my lifetime that i'd seen an oiler score 50 goals but then mcdavid suffers a brutal injury that took him six months to recover from And if there's one silver lining from that, it was that it was the final game of the regular season and he had an entire off season to recover.
Eric FriesenHOST
And, you know, thankfully he was able to, but yeah, uh, I, I can imagine that that, uh, that clinching goal to win the series in, in May of 2022 must've been a, an incredible night.
Aidan GanimHOST
It looks like this is gonna be pretty heavy, uh, veteran-laden, so we're gonna get an opportunity-- or not laden, but a ve- a veteran heavy presence for the, uh, [chuckles] Edmonton Oilers in this one.
Aidan GanimHOST
But, uh, taking on the Calgary Flames, good old Battle of Alberta in Edmonton tomorrow night at seven.
Aidan GanimHOST
Uh, it's gonna be a good test, a good little litmus test for this team as they get ready to go for Tuesday night.
Aidan GanimHOST
I can't believe that we've got hockey in September.
DianaHOST
The hockey world is buzzing.
DianaHOST
And tonight, the Edmonton Oilers host the Calgary Flames in a battle of Alberta that feels less like a regular season opener and more like a statement match.
AdamHOST
It is electric out there.
AdamHOST
We are sitting at 3-0 for Edmonton, riding high in first place in the Pacific Division.
AdamHOST
Tonight, we talk about whether that offensive spark can translate against the Calgary team that is itching to prove they aren't just the second-best team in the province.
DianaHOST
Here is what we are covering today.
DianaHOST
First, we break down the matchup angles and why the Battle of Alberta matters so much under this new coaching regime.
DianaHOST
Second, we look at the key players, specifically Leon Dreisaitl and Connor McDavid, and how injuries on both sides shape the lineup.
AustinHOST
So I just have to give him a little bump over there.
AustinHOST
Listen, I know it's the Battle of Alberta again.
AustinHOST
And my cats, man, I swear it's always the Battle of Alberta.
AustinHOST
They start scrapping beside me.
AustinHOST
Well, I've been in Murphy.
Jason GregerGUEST
Yes, it is a little different.
Jason GregerGUEST
You know, any time, I guess, the Battle of Alberta could be.
Jason GregerGUEST
Could the heat up? All it takes probably is one guy to want to do it.
Jason GregerGUEST
Now, historically, the orders just aren't that team.
Jason GregerGUEST
He's pretty reliable defensively, likely because he came up in the Cassie system and where if you weren't good, you didn't play.
Jason GregerGUEST
So I look at Frederick and Doc and see, hey, maybe I know they're on different lines, which is great, but maybe, you know, that'll spur something.
Jason GregerGUEST
It's probably wishful thinking on my part because it's the Battle of Alberta.
Jason GregerGUEST
I'd love to see it, but I'm going to guess, guys, that it's a game where The top guys look very good, end up with two or three points, but it's probably an uneventful emotional game.
Tom GazzolaHOST
But I always like when it gets feisty, especially...
Tom GazzolaHOST
When jobs are on the line, and I know that's not really the case with training camps right now, certainly less so for the Oilers, but I'm going to set the tone for the rest of the season so that they want to beat the crap out of each other when it comes time to play the Battle of Alberta this year.
Tom GazzolaHOST
So I'm all in on that, but it's probably unlikely.
Tom GazzolaHOST
It might be wishful thinking, but Brando, I'm in.
