Senators, Oilers trade jabs on Twitter over Grey Cup rematch
The Ottawa RedBlacks and Edmonton Eskimos squared off in a Grey Cup rematch Saturday night with the RedBlacks prevailing 45-37 in overtime. But there was another game going on via Twitter between the Edmonton Oilers and Ottawa Senators.
The CFL Twitter account instigated a playful back and forth with one tweet.

The Oilers fired the first shot.

When the RedBlacks host the Eskimos on Aug. 6, maybe both NHL clubs will resume the banter.
