Edmonton Oilers fans show disrespect during the US National Anthem
In a surprising turn, Edmonton Oilers fans showed disrespect during the US National Anthem to taunt Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky before Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
The Stanley Cup Finals between Edmonton and Florida have been intensely competitive. Following a near sweep by the Panthers, the Oilers staged a remarkable comeback in Game 4, securing a dominant 8-1 victory.
"The Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe Trophy are leaving the arena as Edmonton makes it 8-1"
Both teams are now in Game 6, where fans are feeling the pressure as much as the players. With the series tied 3-2, Edmonton Oilers fans seized the moment to taunt Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky during the US National Anthem.
"Oilers fans were chanting 'SERGEI' so loud they covered up the US National anthem
Disrespect, or passionate fans?
#TimeToHunt #LetsGoOilers"
While the period is ongoing, Florida fans watching from home have already voiced their displeasure over this display of disrespect. Many believe this incident could provide the motivation Bobrovsky and the Panthers need to overcome the Oilers in the remaining two games.
As Game 6 reaches its final minutes in the first period, the Oilers hold a 1-0 lead courtesy of Warren Foegele's goal. Florida hopes Sergei Bobrovsky can regain his form and lead them to victory, clinching the Stanley Cup tonight.
"WARREN FOEGELE PUTS THE OILERS UP 1-0
