Edmonton sends Florida Panthers a message with billboards ahead of Game 7
With Game 7 on their heels, Edmonton's tourism board sent a clear message to the Florida Panthers with billboards they bought near the Amerant Bank Arena.
The Edmonton Oilers have waited a very long time to get another chance at the Stanley Cup. After finding themselves down against the Florida Panthers 3-0, they buckled up and took the series all the way to a tie, forcing a Game 7. They now have a chance to be the second-ever NHL team to win the Stanley Cup with a reverse sweep.
The 1942 Leafs are the only team in NHL history to come back from a 3-0 deficit and win the Stanley Cup 🤯"
However, three solid winning games and general forward dominance are clearly not enough for the Oilers to guarantee a Cup win. Not to leave any stone unturned, Explore Edmonton, the city's tourism board, has made one last push to get under the Panthers' skin. The city rented out a few digital billboards with taunting messages near the Amerant Bank Arena in Florida.
We've heard about your tradition of tossing rats on the ice (interesting choice), but Edmonton is rat-free & we'd love to keep it that way! 🚫🐀"
The Florida Panthers have their chance to make Edmonton eat their words in those billboards tonight from their home ice. Despite the Oilers' clear dominance in the last few games, both teams have the hunger and skill for a Stanley Cup victory. Hopefully, whatever the outcome, Game 7 will be one of the best of the season.
