The Florida Panthers faced a drastic turnaround in their playoff performance during the Stanley Cup Finals. After leading the series 3-0, their starting goalie Sergei Bobrovsky struggled, conceding 5 goals on just 17 shots. Since then, the Oilers have won every game, leveling the series and forcing a decisive Game 7.
Despite Edmonton's impressive comeback, Explore Edmonton, responsible for the city's tourism initiatives, decided to rub salt in the Panthers' wounds. They rented billboards near Florida's Amerant Bank Arena to playfully taunt their rival team.
While some may find this gesture controversial, the response to Edmonton's publicity stunt was largely met with amusement and approval. As the Florida Panthers prepare to play in Edmonton's territory tomorrow night, the Oilers' tactics have not gone unnoticed.
The Florida Panthers have one last opportunity to clinch the series tomorrow night. However, with Edmonton's bold actions, the Oilers are determined to bring the Stanley Cup back to Canada.
