Another Wild Fight Breaks Out during Edmonton Oil/ LA Kings watch Party
Frustration about the LAKings’ loss seemed to boil over for fans watching at the watch party, as an insane fight broke out between two fans in the streets.
The Edmonton Oilers had a disappointing loss to the Los Angeles Kings last night in overtime, tying the series 1-1 as they head to Los Angles. The game wasn’t the only point of fireworks though, as a crazy fight broke out between two people who appeared to be fans after the game.
The street fight started as two people exchanged heated words standing in a circle, and eventually, it escalated to one person putting their hands on the other. This started a full-out fist fight, which eventually was broken up by onlookers who appeared to be friends with the two parties.
It could have been the disappointment in the team, however, fights like this are often just two people who are looking to get into trouble no matter what the circumstances. Despite this, the Oilers did struggle in their game, which would make any fan frustrated.
Hopefully, the Oilers will be able to steal a game in LA to bring the home ice advantage back into their court.
