[edit] Section names

The language in the 'Oilers vs. Flames' section shows a definite Oilers bias; ie the Oilers have won five while the Flames have won "just one", while the Flames playoff run in 2004 gets a brief mention and the Oilers run last season gets a detailed sentence. And why mention that the Oilers won first? Isn't that obvious? Yeah, I am a Flames fan. Sbmcmull

If no one disagrees I suggest renaming the sections to something with less abbreviations and propused knoledge. Not everyone know why Eskimos and Stampeders would want to fight, but they might know what Canadian foot ball is. So I suggest:

• Oilers vs. Flames ---> Ice Hockey
• Eskimos vs. Stampeders ---> Canadian Football
• U of A vs. U of C ---> Universities

Any objections? Kevlar67 00:31, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Other than "University", I would object, for now, as those sections do deal specifically with those teams. However, Calgary and Edmonton do, and have, battled in many other leagues in hockey and football, and lacking an expansion of the article to include those, I would think that leaving the current titles is preferable.

I have to say that I object as well. While there are many 'Battle of Alberta' games in many sports, this one is dedicated to hockey, and I believe it plays a large part in our hockey history. It's legendary and deserves it's own place.
