Edmonton Oilers fans fight for the third time in three games

Edmonton Oilers fans fought at a watchparty for the third time in three games last night in game 3 against the Los Angeles Kings.

On Friday night, another fight erupted at the Oilers' watchparty. That puts the count at 3 for 3.

In game one, a week ago, fans lost their temper, which led to this fight:




Then, two days later, it continued:



Finally, last night, as the Oilers were in Los Angeles, some angry fans at the watchparty in Edmonton went at it:


Even if their team is leading 2 to 1 in the series, fans are lashing out, and we have to wonder what more it'll take for authorities or the Oilers organization to intervene.

In Vancouver, the city announced that there wouldn't be watch parties this year, after riots cast shadows on past playoffs. Indeed, back in 1994 and 2014, chaos ensued when the Canucks lost in the Stanley Cup Finals.


If this continues in Edmonton, Oilers fans could face the same consequences.

Edmonton and Los Angeles are set to compete for the fourth time tomorrow. The bets are opened to see if another fight will erupt.
