Many Oilers fans have taken to the X platform and voiced their anger over the sticker shock of playoff ticket prices, and concessions as the Oilers prepare for Game 3 at Rogers place.
It appears that ownership has raised prices everywhere regarding the cost of beer, the watch party tickets and SSH renewals.
Tough times making it harder to sell seats for playoff games
The current economic climate in Canada has not given fans much disposable income to watch games like NHL playoff games especially in smaller markets.
Raising prices like this do not bode well for Oilers ownership as it was mentioned that many seats are still available in Ticketmaster as people choose to stay away from Rogers Place and would rather spend their time with friends gathered around a television or in a local sports bar.
The Oilers are trying to get themselves back into the series as they have gone down 2-0 in the first round and hope the home crowd can turn their fortunes around and get themselves back into the series.
Many fans hope that the lineup can find a way to score more goals and get themselves back into the form they had last year as the team went on to the Stanley Cup finals.
Oilers make a key change in their lineup ahead of Game 3
Oilers fans hope that the change the Oilers made earlier today regarding Calvin Pickard starting in that's over Stuart Skinner well help turn things around and give the team a different look between the pipes.
Skinner has had a tough couple of games and has let in twelve goals which is simply not acceptable for a playoff game.
However, much of the blame also falls on the feet of the remaining Oilers players as the entire team needs to dig deeper and find a way to win game 3 and take full advantage of being at home with the home crowd behind them.
Games 3 and 4 will take place on April 25th and April 27th.
