Let's just do a quick summary of this for the upcoming series:
5 meetings: Oilers win 4 and lose 1.
Meeting 1: Smythe Division Final, 1983.
Oilers win series 4 games to 1.
This was a total butt-kicking where the Oilers won game 2 5-1, game 3 10-2, and game 5 9-1. The Flames were simply no match for the Oilers at this point as Edmonton cruised to the Cup final losing just a single game (in this series) before being humble-swept by the Islanders.
Meeting 2: Smythe Division Final, 1984.
Oilers win series 4 games to 3.
The Flames had improved a lot from the previous series, as the teams battled in 6 close games, where the Flames battled back from a 3-1 series deficit to tie things up. The Oilers woke themselves up for game 7, though and spanked Calgary in game 7. This would be the only real challenge the Oilers faced this year as they won their first cup.
Meeting 3: Smythe Divison Final, 1986.
Flames win series 4 games to 3.
Let's just pretend this one didn't happen. Steve Smith sure does.
Meeting 4: Smythe Divison Final, 1988.
Oilers win series 4 games to 0.
The Flames had actually become "better" than the Oilers this season, finishing as the higher seed. But the Oilers used their playoff savy to take a close game 1, and then stun Calgary with a come from behind OT victory in game 2 on Gretzky's famous shortie. A couple of clincial home victories and we had ourselves a very satisfying sweep.
Meeting 5: Smythe Divison Semi-Final, 1991.
Oilers win series 4 games to 3.
The Oilers had lost a bit of their swagger by this point, but this was the most intense series the two teams ever played. Similar to 1984, the Oilers jumped ahead with a 3-1 series lead, only to blow it by losing games 5, and 6. They then fell behind 3-0 early in game 7 and it was looking grim until Esa Tikkanen rallied the troops with a fluke goal. The Oilers would storm back to take a 4-3 lead, only to see Calgary tie it late. Tikkanen was then the hero in OT allowing us to rub Calgary's face just a bit more.
Thirty-one years later, we've got to win meeting 6. Let's go boys!
