Multiple Oilers fans arrested after brawl with police
After last night's Oilers' loss, a strange altercation between supporters and police occurs outside Rogers Place.
After the Edmonton Oilers' 3-1 loss to the Dallas Stars in Game 2 of the Western Conference Final, there appeared to be a lot of tension outside Rogers Place in Edmonton Wednesday night.
A video clip from @yegwave on X purports to show a few 2-on-2 skirmishes involving Oilers supporters, following which Edmonton police intervened.
The police are seen actively exchanging blows and arresting a few of them and the video ends with a person knocked out cold on the ground.
Edmonton fans were more than likely not pleased with the final score of the game in which their team got outplayed, and that situation presumably combined with alcohol is never a good scenario for anyone. Regardless of your personal opinions about the police, it's a good thing that the fight concluded before any innocent bystanders were hurt.
Fan fights seem to be on the rise this year and especially during the playoffs, fans should stick to watching hockey players go at it on the ice and not go at it on the street, to each their own though.
