Edmonton Oilers fan gets knocked out by fierce slap at playoffs watch party
One Edmonton Oilers fan likely woke up on Friday morning after his team clinched a Stanley Cup Finals berth with a ringing headache, but not from celebrating too much. Fans gathered outside Rogers Place in Edmonton to watch Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals on Thursday night while the team took on the Dallas Stars down in Texas. Images of Oilers fans fighting each other in the city's Ice District have become commonplace in this year's playoffs, but on Thursday, a rather bizarre altercation took place. Video posted to social media captured one Oilers fan in blue and orange face paint standing still while others around him appeared to be at the end of a countdown. A split second later, that fan was on the receiving end of a vicious slap to the face that sent him falling down on the pavement - knocked out cold. It's not entirely clear what led up to the moment, or if the two fans knew each other. Meanwhile at the Oilers watch party #LetsGoOilers — YEGWAVE (@yegwave) May 30, 2025 Edmonton took care of business in Game 5, scoring early to throw the Stars off their game and eventually winning with a final score of 6-3. The Oilers' first two shots-on-goal for the night ended up getting past Stars goalie Jake Oettinger, considered one of the best netminders in the league. Shockingly, Dallas coach Peter DeBoer decided to pull Oettinger in favor of backup Casey DeSmith. DeSmith saved the first two shots he faced, but let in the third one to go down 3-0. In total, DeSmith saved 17 of the 20 shots put on goal on Thursday as the Oilers' offense began to pull away. Now, Edmonton faces a rematch of last year's Stanley Cup Finals when they take on the Florida Panthers. Game 1 of the Finals is on Wednesday, June 4 from Edmonton.
