Leon Draisaitl was tight-lipped after David Rittich celebrated a shootout-winning save on him with a Jose Bautista-style stick flip when the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames met on Wednesday night.

Fast forward to Saturday, after the Oilers cranked the Flames 8-3 in a highly emotional game that featured a goalie fight, Draisaitl decided to share his honest opinion about the stick flip.

"It's just disrespectful," he told TSN's Ryan Rishaug postgame. "We hit two posts and he's acting like they just won the Stanley Cup."

Draisaitl got the last laugh, as Rittich was pulled Saturday after allowing four goals, but was forced to re-enter the contest after Cam Talbot was ejected following his scrap with Mike Smith. Rittich proceeded to allow two more goals in the losing effort, while Draisaitl extended his league-leading point total with four assists.

Smith spent the last two seasons as Rittich's teammate in Calgary. He acknowledged that the two have a relationship, but admitted Rittich takes things too far.

"What goes around comes around," Smith said.

Unfortunately, the next installment of the Battle of Alberta won't take place until April 4, the last game of the regular season for each club. Mark your calendars.
