The energy was off the charts, and one daring fan took it to the next level by tossing not one, but two Alberta-grade T-bone steaks onto the ice at Rogers Place. The «Alberta Beef» was on display.
The question was why steak though? Well, it's a nod to Alberta's pride and joy – their beef. With the Oilers representing the province, it's a fitting choice. And facing off against their BC rivals, it adds an extra layer of rivalry. What'll also be interesting to see is the losing mayor fly the flag of the other team's logo at their own city hall.
Compared to tossing octopuses or catfish, the steak toss feels uniquely Edmonton. And who knows, maybe it'll bring the team some extra luck in Game 7 on Monday night in Vancouver.
