The Edmonton Oilers crush the Calgary Flames in first of two Battle of Alberta games on Tuesday, exposing a widening gap in young talent and offensive firepower. Can Dustin Wolf’s heroics in net rescue the Flames from a long-term rebuild, or is a shakeup in Calgary unavoidable?

We spotlight Connor McDavid’s dominant point streak and Leon Draisaitl’s hat trick, dissecting why talent continues to trump effort. Calgary Flames head coach Ryan Huska, defenseman Kevin Bahl and forward Jonathan Huberdeau address Calgary’s lack of answers and missed opportunities. What are the future prospects of Dustin Wolf as a franchise cornerstone? Plus, we examine the Flames most recent stab at assembling young talent like Sean Monahan, Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bennett that led to the 2018-19 season and how that can inform what Calgary does now entering an end-of-year homestand.
