Fights break out, including Tkachuk vs Kassian, and all Hell breaks loose in Battle of Alberta

If you missed last night's edition of The Battle of Alberta, you missed an absolute BEAUTY of a game.

First up, Edmonton Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Calgary Flames forward Sean Monahan elected to drop the gloves to ramp things up as the first period was winding down

Check it out:

And then... THE MAIN EVENT!

Big Zack Kassian and Matthew Tkachuk FINALLY drop the gloves and even things up:

It's worth noting that Flames forward Zac Rinaldo was shouting "I'M NEXT!" at Kassian as Kassian was escorted off the ice by officials. Line 'em up, boys! Let's gooooo!

Later in the game, Oilers captain Connor McDavid became incensed with the officials after they missed what he felt was a blatant knee on knee attempt from Flames captain Mark Giordano.

The Flames ended up taking the wildly entertaining game 4-3 in a shootout. Old time hockey, baby!
