Tickets still available just hours before Game 2 in Edmonton!
After the humiliating loss on Monday night…
HockeyFeed
The Edmonton Oilers stopped playing towards the end of Game 1 of their first round series against the Los Angeles Kings, and fans were so upset with the 4-3 overtime loss that they littered the ice with garbage after the final whistle.
Fans have apparently continued to show their frustration as the Oilers announced just a few hours prior to Game 2 in Edmonton that “a limited number of seats were just released for tonight’s Game 2! “ Which means : we ain’t sold out, please come and fill Rogers Place.
After losing a heartbreaker in Game 1, the Oilers need to get back on track and also will require the support of their home fans to focus on forgetting about the loss and getting the W in the second contest of their first-round series.
Earlier on Wednesday, before the announcement that seats were available, the Oilers demanded fans not throw litter on the ice after a beverage nearly hit Kings captain Anze Kopitar in the aftermath of the series opener. Oilers vice-president Tim Shipton wrote in a statement that Edmonton's loud and passionate fans give his club a huge home-ice advantage inside Rogers Place, but that they needed to respect the rules.
"There is zero tolerance for this behaviour and no one wants to get ejected from a playoff game."
Oilers players understood the fans' disappointment following the first game, but would prefer not to see flying debris and feel their positive energy throughout the contest.
Let’s see if the arena is sold out later tonight at puck drop.
