Passionate and fired up, a huge gathering of Edmonton Oilers fans have made their presence felt in southern Florida.
Edmonton Oilers fans arrive to the arena before the Oilers take on the Florida Panthers in game 1 of the NHL Stanley Cup final in Sunrise, Fla. The Oilers are trying to win the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1990, and several thousand fans have made to the trek to Sunrise, Fla., to watch their team in-person.
Adding an added historic layer to this series: a Canadian team has not hoisted the Stanley Cup since 1993. Travelling to Florida from Canada takes time and money, but this trip is a bargain compared to watching the Oilers play on home ice.“A ticket in Edmonton, a really nice ticket can cost up to US$5000,” Jason Glabb, an Oilers fan from Alberta, told CTV News. “Here it cost about US$1000.”“I thought overall, we played a pretty good game,” Oilers Head Coach Kris Knoblauch said. “We had some chances to score goals.
Edmonton played well enough to win the first game and they will hope for better luck on Monday night.
