Video: Wild Scrum Breaks Out During Game 1 of Battle of Alberta

Game 1 of the Battle of Alberta between the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames was the wildest game we've seen from the 2021-22 Stanley Cup Playoffs. From goals early and often, to goaltending changes, to wild rushes and huge hits, this game literally had it all.

One scrum in particular garnered a ton of attention as Flames forward Milan Lucic was somehow penalized for delivering a clean hit on Oilers star Connor McDavid. A huge scrum ensued after and it was an interesting development to see Evander Kane get involved.

This could be a foreshadow to a heavyweight tilt later in the series, take a look:
