The worst part is that only one of the two made it out of the qualifying round later that summer. With the way the playoffs were set up at that time us fans would have had to wait until the second round before we got a Battle of Alberta in the playoffs. At least the two played against each other in a pre-tournament game.

@@grahamdamberger7130 The play in rounds were honestly such a joke, they should have been set up like how the NBA did them. Instead, teams like Edmonton and Pittsburgh got punished for finishing high in the standings where on the other hand, teams like Chicago and Montreal got rewarded when they were both pretty much out of the playoff race at the time of the pause.
