After the Edmonton Oilers' 2–0 loss to the Florida Panthers in the 2024 Stanley Cup Final, supporters are becoming more and more irate. In addition to being behind 2-0 in the series, the Oilers' greatest advantage—possessing two of the world's top offensive players in Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl—has been expertly neutralized by the Panthers. After two games, the Oilers have only managed one goal, which was scored by Mattias Ekholm, a defenseman.
After the Edmonton Oilers game yesterday night at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, a fan made an obvious mistake as they were leaving the venue. The fan, who was wearing a McDavid jersey, was observed arguing with someone before friends had to stop him from pursuing him. Following a tirade, the Oilers supporter focuses on the person recording the event and knocks him to the ground.
There's been no word of any arrests or retaliation against the Oilers fan. The Stanley Cup Final will now travel to Edmonton for the next two games. The Oilers must hope to pick up some momentum in these games, or else the Panthers will be hoisting the Stanley Cup at Rogers Place for the first time ever.
