Fan brawl erupts following Canucks and Oilers game six
Known to be two of the NHL's most engaged fan base, the NHL couldn't have asked for a better matchup in this second-round series.
Since day one, both fan bases have been heated�on the ice, social media, and off the ice. Canadian fan bases are known for their 'next-level' love for the game, but playoff hockey brings that passion to a new stage.
Edmonton forced a game seven in this tightly disputed matchup, and the heated exchanges between both fanbases have only increased. Following the Oilers' game six wins, some fans decided to steal the show from their team:
"A fight just occurred outside of Rogers Place, which was allegedly started by Canucks fans acting erratically.
«A Vancouver fan got knocked out after a lot of drinking and a lot of lipping off. He had apparently said to a random nurse who came to help him 'I've been knocked out before.' Yes he did pee himself"
Both the fans in Vancouver and Edmonton are extremely committed to their respective teams, and with their season on the line ahead of game seven, some of these spectators will have to be kept in line.
