Oilers fans show massive disrespect to the game during pre-game ceremony
Edmonton Oilers fans are known for their passionate support, mainly as their team aims to tie the series against the Florida Panthers. However, tonight, their fervour crossed a line.
During the sacred hockey tradition of the national anthem, Oilers fans chanted "Sergei," mocking Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, who has suffered two consecutive losses. This act drew significant attention and criticism, with many deeming it disrespectful and a breach of the hockey code. The incident has sparked a conversation about maintaining respect and sportsmanship, even in the heat of competition.
Oilers fans chanting "SER-GEI!" to drown out the first 15 seconds of the American national anthem before quieting down.

Disrespect or passionate fans?
#TimeToHunt #LetsGoOilers
We will soon see who leaves this series victorious. Will the Florida Panthers lose the Stanley Cup Finals in back-to-back attempts, leading the Oilers to break the 31-year-old Canadian Cup Curse? Or will Florida take the challenge to its ultimatum in the winner-takes-all Game 7? Either way, we are in for some fantastic hockey.
