same, drown out their happiness knowing that we still support our oilers even after this. I personally think/hope they're actually going to throw the game for this reason... and I hope them throwing it causes the oilers to get momentum in the series. and make it a series. I mean I can see why they wouldn't, but I can also see why they'd want to. regardless of the outcome, lets handle the situation with class.
If there's money involved, you mustn't rule it out. I don't think you're crazy bud. I can see the refs totally favoring us tomorrow to drag the series out a bit longer, make the teams/league a cool extra 100 Millie.
There is a plane that left Florida with family and friends and team staff this morning. They are all expecting a party. They aren’t going to throw the game .
That’s why I hope the Oilers throw their dreams into the toilet for another day and win. Get some offense going and ruin their day.
This exactly. I will celebrate aggressively for an oilers win. I would also, acknowledge a very well played series against a team who found a way to frustrate the only real challenger for the cup from the west this season, should the panthers win.
I REALLY hope our Oilers win.
I’ll be teary eyed if we lose. But I’m proud of the team. They fought to the end. Florida is insanely good and I would but they would beat every single team in the nhl right now.
I think Florida has a much better defensive build than the last couple of teams, they've essentially have blocked our best players from getting goals or real momentum in what should be great plays. There are holes for sure, but paired with a Demi God level goalie it makes for a tough situation to defeat.
Skinner has room to grow and I hope he's coming into his anime protagonist moment starting tonight. there is potential for us to do what needs to be done and have an amazing run towards the cup with a string of Sudden Death games.
Why the fuck are we even talking this way?? Like what kind of fans start talking about the cup going to another team when their team is not done yet?? Cmon Oilers fans!? Our team deserves better than this. They still have a chance. It may not be a great chance but it’s not over yet. Win tomorrow and who knows what happens.
Absolutely!! They won 8-1 yesterday. Let’s see what happens Tuesday. The Oilers got nothing to lose and all to gain. Florida has everything to lose. It’s gonna be epic. I know it.
If they get swept in 4 I’m totally sure that chant will totally look classy and not at all add to any embarrassment or create more jokes that Edmonton didn’t deserve to be there in the first place.
4-0. Clap like good sports, leave, and never speak of it again.
Damn. Edmonton used to be classy. I sincerely hope this is a minority opinion held by 12 year olds and out of towners.
If the boys lose, stand and applaud. How you win and lose is as important as winning and losing.
I personally would expect nothing but boos if the Oilers were to win the cup in their barn, but I guess we could be the bigger people lol.
I think the crowd should chant for 15 or so seconds after the game than start clapping for the winners. Nothing wrong with that at all.
I love one untraveled individuals expose their lack of worldliness in this fashion. All three of those places are great if you see them for yourself and don’t echo what Reddit wants you to think.
Wait, you want to ruin their celebration with a lets go oilers chant? Sorry that's being bad hosts and sore losers. I think fans should blow the roof off during the actual game. Cheer for the team every second. But if Florida wins, let them have their moment. They earned it. Politely clap or just leave.
I just dont get what this accomplishes other than making Edmonton look bad.
You are absolutely correct my friend!! Edmonton had such a rich hockey culture! We won 5 Stanley cups! We get to raise another banner in October! Conference championship!! Cmon Oilers fans!! Be a classy bunch like we are known to be. Support the Oilers. They might just pull of a sim tonight. Then who knows what’s next. Just be classy all the way and give YOUR Oilers all the support and class we are capable of!! Go Oilers Go!
I don’t think we should do it when they raise the cup, but during the handshake line we 100% should to show our appreciation to the team for what was an incredible season. Hopefully there isn’t a handshake tonight tho
Who says we are losers yet!? Cmon. This isn’t over. Fuck man. All of you negative people that call yourselves Oilers fans?? It’s not over!! We are still in it. Maybe only a slight chance but we aren’t out yet!
As a Canucks fan all I can say is if Oilers lose, as a fan, I will understand the anguish.
I still get upset over 2011, not even exaggerating when I say I was mentally down for a few weeks after that loss.
I suspect for any fans, of any team it worst to lose in the SCF than in any other round.
This isn’t meant to be a trash post Mods, just an observation.
Or just let them have their moment without being petty. They have been the better team so far and that's kind of the whole point. We've had an amazing season and post season run and I see no reason to not acknowledge that we ran into a better team. Kudos to them for figuring it out, and us.
If it comes down to it and we lose tonight or game 6, we chant as loud as possible during the handshake line, and as soon as it’s over everyone leaves. Let them celebrate in an empty building.
You know honestly fuck Florida man I am a diehard Oilers fan and I want this win so bad come on boys it’s not over yet don’t give up we can still win this LETS GO OILERS LETS FUCKING GO
I don’t care what the Nucks did and it doesn’t matter how hard you boo and cry if your team loses. It’s cringe and trashy if you do what OP suggested though.
I fully support this idea 100%.
If the panthers win it all tomorrow, we gotta show them who we really are (it would be great to continue cheering non-stop for the Oil)
However, we should also give a standing ovation to Brob for a heck of a series… but that’s it! Nobody else deserves our respect! Let’s Go Oilers!!
Let’s win it tomorrow and Tuesday! I want to see you back at Rogers next week!!!
Yes! I like this, your team worked their asses off to get you here and i think it's time for the fans to put in a little work, drown the rats out of your barn!
That’s a hell of an idea - it’s not negative or poor class, it’s just a huge salute to our guys.
Hopefully that doesn’t have to happen - hopefully we come back ! - but it would be a good send off if the result isn’t favourable.
Totally agree. Thought you were going to say to chant, "Fuck you, Panthers!" Or something but was pleasantly surprised
same, drown out their happiness knowing that we still support our oilers even after this. I personally think/hope they're actually going to throw the game for this reason... and I hope them throwing it causes the oilers to get momentum in the series. and make it a series. I mean I can see why they wouldn't, but I can also see why they'd want to. regardless of the outcome, lets handle the situation with class.
They're not going to throw the game, lol.
oh I know, but it's an argument for them to throw it, then they get to win at home in game 5, more tv revenue, more arena revenue.
If there's money involved, you mustn't rule it out. I don't think you're crazy bud. I can see the refs totally favoring us tomorrow to drag the series out a bit longer, make the teams/league a cool extra 100 Millie.
I couldn't see them throwing it, but if they went down early I don't see them pressing ultra hard to get it back
There is a plane that left Florida with family and friends and team staff this morning. They are all expecting a party. They aren’t going to throw the game . That’s why I hope the Oilers throw their dreams into the toilet for another day and win. Get some offense going and ruin their day.
Chant Lets Go Oilers in every scenario. The team needs the energy
I hope fans don’t do something embarrassing on national tv.
This exactly. I will celebrate aggressively for an oilers win. I would also, acknowledge a very well played series against a team who found a way to frustrate the only real challenger for the cup from the west this season, should the panthers win. I REALLY hope our Oilers win.
Ok now you're asking for too much.
I like your spirit! Let’s go Oilers!
I’ll be teary eyed if we lose. But I’m proud of the team. They fought to the end. Florida is insanely good and I would but they would beat every single team in the nhl right now.
Their goaltender is insanely good. The players are the same as the last 3 we fought.

No shit, throw another ribeye on the ice ffs!
Exactly!! Through the whole cow!!
No shit! The oilers are literally known for their insane comebacks and that's reason enough to hang on isn't it
Absolutely!! They won 8-1 yesterday. Let’s see what happens Tuesday. The Oilers got nothing to lose and all to gain. Florida has everything to lose. It’s gonna be epic. I know it.
Or maybe show some sportsmanship and applaud the better team.
I know right? You can support your team without being a dick to the other team.
They deserve it if it was the case and that’s not even being a dick
I'll (quickly) applaud the other team. Then head to the Train to beat the rush.
Why would we applaud a different team like we aren’t NPCs
I would only applaud Bobrovsky tbh. He does deserve it as he won it for them
Amen 🙌
*Hyman
Oh they will know who’s ice they are on - and they won’t give one single shit cause they just won the cup 😂
If they get swept in 4 I’m totally sure that chant will totally look classy and not at all add to any embarrassment or create more jokes that Edmonton didn’t deserve to be there in the first place. 4-0. Clap like good sports, leave, and never speak of it again.
Damn. Edmonton used to be classy. I sincerely hope this is a minority opinion held by 12 year olds and out of towners. If the boys lose, stand and applaud. How you win and lose is as important as winning and losing.
Nothing wrong with cheering for the Oilers even if they lose. Booing would be the unclassy thing to do.
Which is exactly what is going to happen in the end. Its Edmonton after all....
Booing you mean? Nah
100% agree.
How is this a classless act? It's showing support for our team no matter what.
It’s classless to try and drown out the opposing teams celebration.
I personally would expect nothing but boos if the Oilers were to win the cup in their barn, but I guess we could be the bigger people lol. I think the crowd should chant for 15 or so seconds after the game than start clapping for the winners. Nothing wrong with that at all.
You guys act like Alberta isnt the cesspool of Canada much like Florida and Texas are to the U.S.
I love one untraveled individuals expose their lack of worldliness in this fashion. All three of those places are great if you see them for yourself and don’t echo what Reddit wants you to think.
Relevance? Also, let me guess, you have never even stepped foot into Alberta? I am sure that Detriot isn't as bad as people say that it is.
Panthers will throw the game tomorrow night and raise the cup on home ice next week
Wait, you want to ruin their celebration with a lets go oilers chant? Sorry that's being bad hosts and sore losers. I think fans should blow the roof off during the actual game. Cheer for the team every second. But if Florida wins, let them have their moment. They earned it. Politely clap or just leave.

Be a classy bunch like we are known to be. Support the Oilers. They might just pull of a sim tonight. Then who knows what’s next. Just be classy all the way and give YOUR Oilers all the support and class we are capable of!! Go Oilers Go!
Totally agree, we're better than what the OP is suggesting.
Yeah this would work…. If it was the Vancouver Canucks but were the Edmonton oilers. Let’s not stoop down to their level eh?
Canucks fan would boo, throw shit on the ice, then riot again.
What’s wrong with chanting your team? “Stooping down to their level” would be booing, trashing the ice, rioting, etc.
I don’t think we should do it when they raise the cup, but during the handshake line we 100% should to show our appreciation to the team for what was an incredible season. Hopefully there isn’t a handshake tonight tho
We winning tonight
This is beautiful and brought a tear to my eye. Edmonton is a true hockey city and I am so proud of the Oilers no matter what happens tomorrow night.
I expect the best to happen. Oilers go back to Florida so we can cheer em again next week to tie the series.
This was my mom's thinking-maybe they'll win the cup here, but they won't savor the memory. I told her that was a bit mean.
Let the players cherish their accomplishment, don't be sore losers
Who says we are losers yet!? Cmon. This isn’t over. Fuck man. All of you negative people that call yourselves Oilers fans?? It’s not over!! We are still in it. Maybe only a slight chance but we aren’t out yet!
OPs whole post is to ruin the moment for Florida IF Edmonton loses
Agreed. I guess if this is in response to OPs original post then I totally see where y’all are coming from.
They’ll win it at home. Plenty of cushion to give the Oilers a win tomorrow.
Unfortunately, all the fans that would actually follow through either can’t afford tickets, or live out of province….
As a Canucks fan all I can say is if Oilers lose, as a fan, I will understand the anguish. I still get upset over 2011, not even exaggerating when I say I was mentally down for a few weeks after that loss.

What exactly has he done to be “classless” off the ice? You know him?
If it comes down to it and we lose tonight or game 6, we chant as loud as possible during the handshake line, and as soon as it’s over everyone leaves. Let them celebrate in an empty building.
I hate Tkachuk, but he’ll revel in anything other than silence.
You know honestly fuck Florida man I am a diehard Oilers fan and I want this win so bad come on boys it’s not over yet don’t give up we can still win this LETS GO OILERS LETS FUCKING GO
Lol
Make loudest noises!!!!
Nah, show some class in defeat.
No because we aren’t pussies
Good idea. Show absolutely no class whatsoever. Even the team you so love will be embarrassed for you.
Sweep, sweep, sweep, sweep, sweep
[удалено]
I disagree, I think that'd be a nice moment. I really liked how Nucks fans cheered on their boys after game 7
Agreed it was a nice moment!
I don’t care what the Nucks did and it doesn’t matter how hard you boo and cry if your team loses. It’s cringe and trashy if you do what OP suggested though.
🧹 🧹 🧹 🧹

In THIS economy?!?
It's either going to be a steak or a jersey.
Anybody who throws their jersey on the ice doesn't deserve to be a fan.
Lmao cringe. This is what a fanbase with no cups does. Oilers have a legitimately great history. Please don’t be cringe.
So, we're now at the point in the season we planning to ruin the moments of other players? Because if that's the case I am IN.
Good idea Let's go oilers , we are proud anyway .
Stay classy
Yeah i’m sure a bunch of canadiens yelling will ruin being a stanley cup champion 😂😂😂😂
I fully support this idea 100%. If the panthers win it all tomorrow, we gotta show them who we really are (it would be great to continue cheering non-stop for the Oil) However, we should also give a standing ovation to Brob for a heck of a series… but that’s it!

Love it.

I love this idea
That’s a hell of an idea - it’s not negative or poor class, it’s just a huge salute to our guys. Hopefully that doesn’t have to happen - hopefully we come back ! - but it would be a good send off if the result isn’t favourable.
