When the Edmonton Oilers face off against the Florida Panthers on Monday night, the team will be watched and supported by people across Canada.
WATCH ABOVE: The Edmonton Oilers are headed to Florida for a deciding Game 7 on Monday where they could complete a historic comeback in the Stanley Cup Final .may not be on home ice when they try to clinch the Stanley Cup against the Florida Panthers on Monday night, but screams of support will resound across Canada from rinkside watch parties, bars, seniors homes and ordinary living rooms.
DeMone’s home is something of a shrine to his favourite team, with Oilers jerseys, blankets and pillows decorating the inside and several Oilers flags flying outside. One of those outdoor parties is where Mama Stanley, whose real name is Mary Loewen, will be dressed as the Stanley Cup, cheering on the team while also posing for photos with fellow fans.“People are saying, ‘Let’s fly to Florida.’ No. I want to be with the people in my kingdom,” Loewen said Saturday when speaking about her plans for the final game.
“Our residents love the Oilers, they’re all in the spirit. They like to get dressed up. Some watch it in their suites, some watch it together on their screen,” said Lori Kary, the home’s recreation therapist.
