With the Stanley Cup Final in town, Edmonton has taken out all the stops for being the best hockey town in the world - including driving a Zamboni through the streets.
In a recent video shared online, a few fans decked out in Oilers gear are seen driving a Zamboni around Rogers Place block, proudly waving an Oilers flag and a Canadian flag. Every car on the street was honking their horns passing by in recognition of these couple legendary fans.
Around Rogers Place is total pandemonium for Oilers fans right now. Currently the lineup to get into the Moss Pit outdoor watch party stretches several blocks long, and still fans are lined up in anticipation.
Everywhere you go in Edmonton right now, everything is about the Oilers. Fans are wearing jerseys not even in game days, bars are packed, and the city is alive with Oilers fever. Frank Seravalli has said it feels like everyone's got time off to watch the Oilers, and some fans have actually chimed in that they did get time off work.
With a do-or-die Game 6 kicking off very soon, it's clear that Edmonton is ready for this game, and to celebrate the Cup in absolute madness if they're able to complete the series comeback. Tonight's game is a must-watch for any hockey fan, but it looks like it's being watched by every single Edmontonian at least tonight.
