However, they are both the main party streets during major sporting events, very close to the hockey stadiums of their respective cities, so that is a good similarity.

Yeah, the office thing is a big one for sure, but I guess Vancouver has Broadway to sort of play that secondary office role. I can't think of anything in Calgary that I'd compare to Broadway. In Edmonton I always think of Whyte Avenue since it's urban, low-rise and south of downtown across the water, but it doesn't really have the corporate presence either. I had no idea I spent so much time thinking about dumb stuff like this
