Brawl breaks out involving Oilers fans and police outside Rogers Place
A bizarre brawl breaks out involving Oilers fans and police outside Rogers Place after Oilers loss
Tensions were apparently very high outside Rogers Place in Edmonton last night after the Oilers lost to the Dallas Stars in Game 2 of the Western Conference Final, the end score being 3-1.
According to a video post from @yegwave on X, we see a few 2-on-2 exchanges between Oilers fans which then resulted in Edmonton police getting involved; see the video below.
The police are seen actively exchanging blows and arresting a few of them and the video ends with a person knocked out cold on the ground.
Edmonton fans were more than likely not pleased with the final score of the game in which their team got outplayed, and that situation presumably combined with alcohol is never a good scenario for anyone. Regardless of your personal opinions about the police, it's a good thing that the fight concluded before any innocent bystanders were hurt.
Fan fights seem to be on the rise this year and especially during the playoffs, fans should stick to watching hockey players go at it on the ice and not go at it on the street, to each their own though.
