The Edmonton Oilers secured a vital victory in their first-round playoff series against the LA Kings on Wednesday, April 19th, by winning 4-2. Had they lost, the Oilers would have been down 0-2 in the series, with the next two games being played in LA's home rink, a tough spot to be in. However, their win has tied the series 1-1.
But what has captured the media's attention is Oilers head coach Jay Woodcroft's post-win interview, which was cut short due to the raucous cheering from Oilers fans still present in the arena and hallways. The enthusiasm of the fans is a testament to the Oilers' devoted fan base and the importance of this win.
The Oilers will now head to LA with momentum on their side, and with the continued support of their fans, they will look to secure a win on the road and take control of the series. This victory may prove to be the turning point for the Oilers, and fans will be eagerly anticipating the next game in the series.
