Edmonton Eskimos Mock The Calgary Flames After Loss To Anaheim

A longstanding rivalry between Calgary and Edmonton took a turn into some pretty nasty territory last night, after a Twitter account belonging to the Edmonton Eskimos openly mocked Calgary fans moments after the Flames were ousted from the Stanley Cup playoffs.

"#QuackQuackQuack @calstampeders @NHLFlames," the Eskimos tweeted at the Calgary Flames and Calgary Stampeders Twitter accounts, referencing the overtime loss at the hands of the Anaheim Ducks in game five of the second round series.

Calgary fans were not impressed with the mocking, to say the least. And many Edmonton sports fans were embarrassed by the tweet. Check out some of the reactions:

.@EdmontonEsks Hmm, chirping the Flames, who made the playoffs, and the Stamps, who won the Grey Cup. That irony cake has a lot of layers.

@EdmontonEsks @calstampeders @NHLFlames brutal tweet, have some respect for a hard working rival. It's called class and sportsmanship.

@EdmontonEsks @calstampeders @NHLFlames ballsy smack coming from that city.

.@EdmontonEsks @calstampeders @NHLFlames Wow.. The word "classless" comes to mind.. Even your own fans think so. #GreyCupBitches

Classless. Which is exactly why no one outside of Edmonton actually likes any team from Edmonton. https://t.co/1o3UsJDYmB

“@EdmontonEsks: #QuackQuackQuack @calstampeders @NHLFlames” are you kidding with this?? This is unbelievably unprofessional.

@EdmontonEsks @calstampeders @NHLFlames Wow....I am embarrassed for you. One guy making a whole organization look bad.

@EdmontonEsks @calstampeders @NHLFlames says the city that didn't even make the playoffs....or come close for that matter

@EdmontonEsks All of Calgary is proud of both @calstampeders and @nhlflames. A Grey Cup and an improbable playoff run? Amazing.

@EdmontonEsks @calstampeders @NHLFlames Not even a creatively unclassy chirp. #Embareskiming.

#YouKnowYourGoodWhen ..... #OhWait LMFAO @EdmontonEsks @calstampeders @NHLFlames

What do you think? Did the tweet cross the line, or was it just a fun bit of sports rivalry?

Meanwhile, Flames fans had nothing but love for their team after the elimination:
