Oilers fans felt Déjà Vu after losing the Stanley Cup final against the Florida Panthers for the second consecutive year.
Dieshards and band bands gathered in the pavilion next to Rogers Place and looked while the Panthers raised the cup after winning 5-1 in game 6 of the finals.
Fans cried with frustration while the team struggled to break the panthers wall, Sergei Bobrovsky. You could see rolls of toilet paper flying through the air and the fans kicked before wrinkled plastic beer while the clock marked.
Look | Emotional fans in Edmonton after game 6 Loss:
Oilers fans here are devastated after a heartbreaking loss against Florida Panthers. Madeleine Cummings of CBC spoke with fans about the final atmosphere of the season.
Kevin Bollett stayed with disbelief next to his plastic stanley cup overturned with a beer on top.
“It has been a round trip series. I really didn’t think game 6 was 5-1.
“It has been really stressful,” he said. “Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid are only young for so long. We have to take advantage of it while what is coming is good, we can’t wait forever.”
Sullen’s faces put their hands disbelief and began to disperse in the third period after the Panthers scored their rooms and fifth goal.
Princess Kailes said that seeing fans throw rolls of toilet paper and the cups of beer feel disrespectful after seeing the players work so hard.
“I feel that I have been walking like a funeral this time and it’s really sad,” Kailes said.
“We still achieve it as the front corridors and that is how we are treating our city.”
Despite the disappointment, Kailes said he has hope for next year.
The earlier Tuesday, the cars’s horns sounded throughout the center in advance. A fan in the row for the moss well responded with a horn of its own air. He raised a false Stanley Cup on his head and danced.
Some strangers could not miss the energy and said that the result does not matter, the trip was worth it.
Tammy Routley of Calgary says that some gray hairs have grown that run the playoffs, but had to come to see the action itself in Edmonton.
“The city is on fire at this time. Energy is as contagious and as former Edmontonian, you can’t miss this, it’s too good.”
Next to her in the row, Chris Pagett and her son were visiting the city from Penticton, BC
“I wanted to show my son the electricity found in the city of Edmonton. I know it well. I used to live here and wanted to be here to feel it,” Paget said.
Remember to be eight years old when the team won their first cup in 1984 and could not miss the opportunity to recreate the experience for their 10 -year -old son.
“It is in my blood, right? They are the oilers. I have never renounced them even throughout the Darkness. I saw all the games, I made sure that my son was a fan of the oilers. I could not imagine what it would be like for them to win a cup.”
Fans believed that their team could win when the probabilities were stacked against them last year in the final.
They gathered around this year after a hard regular season, and despite a disappointing loss, he promised to return next year: orange knobs in his hand.
One of those staunch fans is Edmontonian Micah Pelster.
“It hurts really bad,” he said.
“Second consecutive year, but I mean it’s fine, we’ll return. McDavid will sign again.”
