GDB 71.0: BATTLE OF ALBERTA
Wanye
March 16 2012 12:20PM

Oh hey Calgary. How’s things? It’s just Wanye - your friendly neighbour to the North. Just thought we’d pop in with a few friends to talk about the ice hockey match this evening.
Things aren’t as dire up here in Edmonton as seasons of XXth, 30th, 30th and 29th would suggest. Yeah we know you are better than us on paper. You have an all world goalie capable of winning you any game he decides. We have a worn out old Russian and some 9 foot something or other backing him up.
Your Captain has X 30 goal seasons in a row, our Captain makes $30 million dollars a game.
PROOF MEET PUDDING

We know that you have been to the playoffs X times since 2006 and all we have been getting up here is our collective asses handed to us. We know we aren’t even close to you in the standings.
We know that the cumulative 5 year record of our respective teams is:
We know all sorts of facts.
Having said all of that:
WE WOULD RATHER BE US THAN YOU
That’s right. The Oilers are coming out of an extended dark age and yours are only beginning now. And you know it too – don’t even pretend you can’t see four or five years of basement dwelling on the horizon ahead of you. Look how old you are! And the no trade clauses! Tsk tsk tsk. It boggles the mind!
Had any UFA or RFA of note chosen the Edmonton Oilers in the past 10 years we might be in a similar pickle. But guess what. They didn’t. And the garbage that we were able to sign are almost all off the books. Then you know what happens? That’s when the winning starts.
Now sure that might be tomorrow and not today. We know that you are surging ETC ETC ETC and hope to put a playoff berth firmly in your sights tonight. And we know that this ain’t exactly the best Oilers squadron of the past 3
There are many areas the Oilers can whip the Calgary Flames at and this includes:
SEXIER BRASS
Sutter v Renney? Are we kidding here? Not to mention that the corpse of Tambellini could be left in the sun for a week and be more attractive in a bathing suit than Jay Feaster. No no, this isn't even a contest between the two franchises.
MORE RYANS

Compare the rosters
MORE SQUEEE

Something something
MORE NUGE

Something something
AND SO
In closing here are some more incendiary quotes from OilersNation via twitter:
@bcherri01 This one is for first dibs on tee times #battleofalberta
@JSBMrevolution Time to show the world who the REAL best cousin kissers are #Wait #battleofalberta
@MyqWilson “Who wins BOA? Jay Feaster asks for the question to be rephrased in the form of a cheeseburger*
You are the worst monsters in human history. We look forward to watching you miss the playoffs.
Signed,
A team out of the playoffs for XX consecutive months
PS Even at the end of the article we would STILL rather be us than you.
The only way Feaster (ha ha FEASTer)* would find a clue, was if it was wrapped in bacon.
* In "Flame Fan-like" manner laughs at own childish humour.
@Dman09
"If Calgary was so great how come they don't have a mall that anyone has heard of?"
You're racking your brain for reasons why Edmonton is better and you came up with a mall?
Oh dear.
Lol- K you one upped me , i love that comment-still laughing.
You should be careful about the 'girls' comments, all of CGY's street walkers come from Edmonton. They want to be paid in cash not cigarettes and booze (they'll go buy those on their own thank you). Besides, they're probably your sisters and cousins so, you know... gross!
All in all i hope for one hell of a BOA tonight. Flames will be timid and wont subject themselves to stupid penalties as this game means too much to them. Hordichuk may just take a few unsportsmanlike breaks tonight. There is no such thing as sportsman like in the BOA.
Lets play one to remember Oil and Flamers
LOL. That sums up the flamers right there. Don't even know how the internet works.
One thing is for sure, this will be a hell of a game.

"You go to our bars and see all the hot chicks and buy them drinks. It goes nowhere, you run out of money and go back home to screw your fat, ugly broads (who happen to be your first cousins)."
The last time I was in Calgary was at your cousin bar* on the south side after the Oil lost 3-0 in December. You should edit your comment because there was plenty'o'fatties** there that night and not many "hot chicks" as you have claimed there should be****.
*don't remember the name of the bar as I was to wasted due to an afternoon of boobies, booze and camaraderie***
**copyright by me
***proof of how awful the girls were in that bar in Cowgary
****As an FYI, there was a severe lack of "hot chicks" at the hockey game as well and the ones that were there came with scarf wearing, American Psycho looking, donkey wannabees trying to pass themselves off as hockey fans with their crisp looking Glencross jerseys*****
*****He's as big a jackass as I have ever seen
Edit: I almost forgot, eat shit flames
The people of Shelbyville are not much smarter or less quick to anger than the people of Springfield. On some occasions, Shelbyville has been shown as the more culturally sophisticated of the two cities with a better public school system and hospital, demonstrated by Abe Simpson saying "I'm going to a better place. Shelbyville hospital!" - from the Simpson's wiki page.
now correct me if i am mis-interpreting what the resident flames fans are saying but are they not calling us the people of Shelbyville?
if that being the case then this needs to be read ^. not much smarter....BUT smarter none the less. more culturally sophisticated...WELL no arguement here. we are a higher class of peeps.
fine. be the folks from Springfield. from what i can gather Vintage Flame seems to be the Homer of the group. not the best person to be compared to. i've also noticed moe and barney here today.
anywho...good luck tonite flames. you shall need it.
#eatsh!tflames
You're right, how can I compare Sven with your "young Oilers." Sven is developing in the juniors with a nice taste in the NHL while you have to rely on your guys lifting your pathetic franchise on their backs. Still...29th!!!!
Delusional is someone who believes potential to be reality. Until your young players actually show something & start winning, they are still just players with "potential" & nothing more.
Spout all you want about strong foundations. If you build a crappy frame around it and never properly develope the parts around it, that potential becomes a waste. And don't give me the crap about dumping contract and we'll start getting better. You've had 5 years to get good players. All your young stars are learning right now is how to lose.
Boasting about West Ed Mall would get a hundred times more recognition then boasting about the Flamers easily.
Do you watch hockey??? JBo is over-paid, yes. So is Horcoff. Difference is JBo is a legit top pairing D. Horcoff is a 3rd liner at best.
@T&A4Flames
Horcoff has been to the playoffs, Jaybo...
And what are Iggy and Kipper learning? That no matter how hard they try, their management will still mess it up and put together a 9th place team...at best? That's if old dogs can even learn new tricks anyways! Seriously, how many old players that were discarded by this franchise have been brought back...if at first you don't succeed, keep banging your head against the wall.
Eat Sh!t
The only reason Sven got the call up was becuase the Flamers didn't have anyone on the minor team to call up. What does that say for the future.

Both teams could potentially have two 30 goal scorers
Yours are 400 yrs old, ours aren't even 23 yet. We have 15 years of career to watch these guys light up your redneck asses.
Its a shame to see the Oilers 29th, and the Flames winning all those cups...........???
Oh right, they've missed as many playoffs as we have since we drafted 1st overall twice.
good call. i've found there to be a large number of ralphs here today.
OH, and by the way Flames fans...
HOOT HOOT HOOT HOOT!!
Remember when watching the games in Calgary
"Oilers suck"
Listen to Edmonton fans
"CALGARY sucks"
you're still pissed we got the capital and the university. Where you keep caged animals sure is top notch though
This is the only way to get that 9th place finish (and 14th pick - worst place available) that the GODS have in store for you. Teams like LA and SJ are pushing you.
This is rich. I can't resist. Edmonton's claim to fame is that they have a mall?! You're that stupid that you don't understand that's why your city sucks?
Speaking of your mall, it really is indicative of the sh&$ hole you call home. Fantasyland.
You see, in Fantasyland you ignore the present reality. You either live in the past or some make believe future. Go nuts with that. After you've finished going down the waterslide for the 1000th time because it just so awesome you might realize you're showing off your man boobs in a mall.
Edmontonians are just idiots. I almost feel bad destroying your "come backs".
Oh! the banter!
now now my dearest Mort. i am at work. although i have made time and was able to search the Simpson's wiki page i do not have access to said youtube.
i am, without question, certain your link provides a both delightfully humorous and witty retort to my posting. one to enjoyed by many, i'm sure.
until then...
#eatsh!tflames
And what does Calgary have to be proud of ?
I hope Someone punches Iginla in the VAGINA, and Fatser chokes on his cheeseburger!!!!!!
Just so we all understand how the internet works:
This article was posted to both sites, ON and FN. So Wayne trolled first!
You Oilers fan have enjoyed watching your team lose 60% of the time and haven't watched meaningful hockey since November.
I'd much rather watch a team that A) played meaningful hockey in the second half of the season and B) had a chance to win more than 1 out of every three games.
So you keep enjoying the fact that tomorrrow, when there is world peace and no world hunger and everyone is sitting around a campfire singing Kumbaya, your Oilers will have a chance to make it to the playoffs.
Until that day, I'll stick with the team that actually wins games.
Oilers fans... EAT SH!T!
Don't you mean Ovary????????
Right in the baby maker.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nope right in the Vagina!!
@mayorpoop
Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject, so you know you are getting the best possible information - Michael Scott
Hey man we aren`t the ones who parade farm animals through our city so I would think its more likely you will be eating sh*t
That we're better than you in every way possible. And we always will be. And you know it.
Thats a Toronto comment right there. Can`t actually think of anything so you have to write the most general statement possible with no evidence of anything. And you say we are delusional.
You mean like how Calgary is the Capital of Alberta, nope
You mean like how you've won so many more Grey Cups, Stanley Cups, CIAU championships?
Nope, thats not it.
Let me frame this perfectly. Calgary has a better present than Edmonton, where as we have a better future, and sure as sh*t have had much more past success.
You and your sh*tbag town have accomplished nothing
Wow, what an editorial ...
.... "you're that stupid"
...... "your city sucks"
...... "Sh&$hole"
..... "just idiots"
Thanks for taking the time to provide concise, insightful dialogue. Appreciate you taking time from your MENSA meetings to share the wealth of thoughtful rebuttal.
And somewhere in the distance the sound of Lebowski's banjo tuning up is heard. "You sure have a purdy mouth"
.... cue the banjo
No, if you had a brain you would see I wrote everything. To be succinct I thought I wouldn't list, you know, everything.
Is that what the last 5 years have been for you? If at first you don't draft the saviour, fail again and draft another "potential" saviour.
I honestly thought the banter coming from Oilers fans today would have a lot more originality, but then again it's pretty common to over-estimate anything that comes out of Edmonton.
Maybe you guys are just too fixated on Nuge getting the titty twister from Horcoff's sister.
Good participation today from both nations, hopefully it carries over to the live chat!
Wonder how Smytty will feel after the game when he is punched, hacked and have his ass knocked all around the rink.. and then realize he's still treated worse by the Oilers!
The only reason Sven was called up is because we already were playing with 7 of our AHLers and couldn't keep depleting our minor team... and we are still winning! What does that say about our future???!!!
@Dman09
Haha,
Well for one, I don't live in Calgary, but I understand that is a hard concept for you to understand, so I'll respond with this, the parade in Edmonton still parades farm animals up and down the streets, just like every parade. If that's still too complicated. I'll just say this...
Oilers Fans... EAT METH!
You should all understand that.
* Crickets
Is that supposed to be worse than trading away an old guys and then bringing them back again and again....... Reger will be aquired in the summer according to the Flamers trend.
@The Soup Fascist
Soupy, please stop I can't laugh anymore I'm starting to hurt........................................I'm OK again. Please continue.
Hmmmm, the bitterness is strong up north for this game. Envy for Calgary from Edmonton is literally glowing like the green Northern Lights.
This fan base is obviously on its last year for patience. I can't wait till they figure out they actually need some D and a decent average G before they can call themselves a hockey team.
Mass revolts scheduled for Dec 2012 when the Oilers own the same bottom 5 stature in the West as they do this year.
P.S. Sven is seriously better than Hall...
Its says that your current team is old and can't stay healthy...
Hockey in March, remember when it mattered Edmonton?
The Calgary Flames are a professional ice hockey team based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada - wiki search for Calgary Flames.
i get it. wiki is full of lies and crap. i mean honestly here they say the Flames are a "professional ice hockey team". such a loose definition of professional should not be tolerated.
#eatsh!tflames
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA! What does that say about the Nuge than? He's not old, so is it that he is a weak little pansy that he can't stay healthy? How many games the last two years have Hall and Hopkins missed?? K guess they are both too weak and pathetic to stay health.
1988 Olympics ring a bell...
Congrats on being the capital..woo hoo!!
Malls, Capitals... yeahhhh. Oh and in case your uneducated mind wasn't aware, Calgary has a University as well.
Such a weak reply.
If Calgary isn't professional, but are better at being "unprofessional" than Edmonton does that mean edmonton sucks at both professional and unprofessional ice hockey?
Wanye - uber-Props. Can't say enough how you absolutely nailed the GDB.
I am sick to death of the insane argument blowing out of the south that says...
"Calgary sucks less cuz we finish higher out of the Playoffs than Edmonton"
*Waa Waa Waa*
Really Calgary? Think about that... sucking less with no future means...
"Eat it!".
Oh ya, kids can grow up to be good looking, but if your family is old and ugly, it stays that way.
"I'd rather be me than you!"
It won't matter to you in April either.
