Evander Kane Threatens Nazem Kadri Just Minutes into First Battle of Alberta of 2022-23

The Battle of Alberta is underway tonight, and the sparks started flying immediately. Dating back to last year's playoff between the two sides, the biggest storyline was the Kane-Kadri drama.

For those with short memories, let us revisit.

Since then, Kadri has won a Stanley Cup, secured a $50 million contract -- $49 million, but who's counting -- and absolutely torch the Edmonton Oilers in his first Battle of Alberta as a Flame.

Gee, I wonder who the loser is in this one!

Apparently, shortly after the game's start, Kane threatened to break Kadri's hand again, like the villain that he loves being.

Already 4-1 Flames after one period, the Battle of Alberta is everything that was promised. It is a rare sight that an event lives up to such enormous hype, so how refreshing it is that the Battle of Alberta lives up to it every. single. time.
