GOTTA SEE IT: All The Best Hits And Fights From A Chippy Battle Of Alberta - Jan. 29, 2020

[@joshyjr25]

I’m really looking forward if these two teams meet in the playoffs, let’s start off the new decade of NHL with a blood bath playoff series of The Battle of Alberta

[@288theabe]

DubNation good god, the blood clinics would need so much more donations if they met in the playoffs lol

[@bmoney2011]

they'll win the glorious prize of getting swept in the 2nd round by a real team.

[@wondrejek6697]

The Battle of Alberta? It would be more like The War of Alberta.

[@Tapewars]

I’ll make sure to donate any blood needed to watch this series 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@EarAche123]

Tkachuk answered the call. Kassian nods in approval, good on both of them. I like that.

[@dannenp3110]

This is what the NHL needs to include in their condensed games. Shots and goals are fun and all, but physicality is just as important to the game.

[@dannenp3110]

@griizinjkalns exactly!

[@bergeronscores605]

Dude, they choose to leave that stuff out. They make 9-minute long videos(plenty long enough) and don't include any of it. Another perfect example was Bruins vs. Jets last night. 4 fights, none of which were in the video. They showed like 1 second of a scrum between Scheifele and Carlo, and nothing else.

[@MichkovsBurner]

I have to admit, though, my favorite clip is the guy in the Calgary shirt next to the guy in the Edmonton jersey and they’re both loving it!

[@JR-en6jl]

I honestly feel bad for Kassian. Not everyone is talented like McDavid and Draisaitl and that dude makes the best with what hes got. Tied for fourth in goal scoring on the team with RNH and is somehow the only one on the team it seems that can stand up for McDavid. You'd figure if your team can't score they'd at least have plugs to protect the best hockey player in the world. Kassian manages to do both when the rest of the team can do neither.
