Oilers fans flocked to Vancouver venues to watch Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final. As Grace Ke reports, there were mixed emotions as the team fell short to the Florida Panthers .“I just want to thank especially the people of Vancouver for their support,” Luongo said.“I received a lot of messages from people over the last two months, people rooting for me, so I am truly grateful for that. I always enjoy going back there, I look forward to going back there next season.
While the Oilers were seen by many as “Canada’s team” in the Stanley Cup final, a notable contingent of B.C. and Vancouver fans threw their support behind the Panthers — whether due to the Luongo connection or lingering bad blood over the Canucks’ loss to the Oilers in the second round.Ahead of Monday night’s game Luongo was given the special role of banging a massive drum the Pathers use to rile up their fans, a task he took to with gusto.
