Oilers file complaint to NHL regarding obnoxious fans
This incident occurred during the second round of the playoffs, where specific fans allegedly targeted Oilers players in the penalty box.
The focus of the complaint is on 'The Green Men,' a duo known for their antics at Canucks games since 2012.
While they have often been a source of amusement for many fans, this time, their behavior may have crossed a line.
The DailyHive reported that a specific sign displayed by The Green Men could have been the tipping point for the Oilers.
The sign in question, shown in the tweet below, seems to have prompted the Oilers to take action.
"We were told the Edmonton Oilers complained to the NHL in the last round about the Green Men because the Green Men had an Evander Kane sign about gambling. The Green Men were then told you couldn't go to any more games in Round 2, maybe in Round 3."
Evander Kane's off-ice issues, including his well-publicized gambling troubles, are no secret to the hockey world.
However, referencing such personal matters during intense playoff games, especially in a manner that directly confronts the players, is a contentious issue.
The Oilers' complaint underscores the importance of maintaining respect and decorum, even amidst the passionate and high-stakes atmosphere of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
