After a fiery 2020 showdown and Mathew Tkachuk's trash‑talk reigniting the rivalry, the 2022 playoff series was the last major flare‑up.

Stats show the Oilers dominate when they score first (6‑0‑1) while the Flames thrive only when leading. Power‑play rates are high for both, and McDavid leads all opponents with 30 goals against Calgary. The article debates whether any player can reignite the animosity that once defined the rivalry.
