The Edmonton Oilers fans faced major backlash after the way that they treated the Los Angeles Kings goalie Cam Talbot in game two.

Indeed, early in the clash, the fans wanted to make sure that the Kings felt their presence. However, it backfired late in the first period.

The Kings scored the first goal of the game, and every fans could see that Stuart Skinner, the Oilers goalie, was a bit shaky afterwards. Later in the period, he allowed a second goal and he didn't look very confident.
