Plenty of fans thought this was just a crazed Oilers fan going nuts just to be at a game, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. Apparently the man is a paid actor who travels to multiple NHL games with this stunt.
Props to the guy, it can't be a bad way to make a living, but it takes a bit of the shine away finding out it was staged. For Oilers fans and hockey fans seeing it for the first time in person though, it'd be funny!
