Today a new post on social media from an iconic landmark in Calgary has stirred up controversy for supporting the Edmonton Oilers. The Edmonton Oilers took home Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl/stanley-cup/oilers-coach-sends-strong-message-to-bettman-and-maurice-after-controversial-panthers-goal' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>after fighting through early game struggles.</a> With the Oilers facing the Florida Panthers they have become Canada's team as they try and break the drought of Stanley Cups won by Canadian teams. The Oilers have gained the support of most of the country but to this point rival cities like Vancouver and Calgary had held out their support for Edmonton publicly. This evening that seems to have changed as the Calgary Tower has now shown support for the Edmonton Oilers in an unexpected way. <h3>Calgary Shows Support For Bitter Rival Oilers During The Stanley Cup Finals</h3> In a new post on social media, the PR team for the Calgary Tower confirmed that the tower will be lit up blue and orange tomorrow night. Of course, tomorrow also happens to be Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals and many noticed the odd timing and color choice made. In the statement on X, it was revealed that the color choice was meant to be in relation to the Calgary Brain Tumour Foundation Walk. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/TheCalgaryTower/status/1930678412412334428'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> However, calling back to last season, the Flames did something similar during the 2024 Stanley Cup Finals as well claiming it was in support of Action Anxiety Day. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/TheCalgaryTower/status/1799868264664760322'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> This move by the Calgary Tower seems to be a clear tongue in cheek way of supporting the Oilers without drawing unnecessary backlash from diehard Flames fans. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/and79tm/status/1930739385026388177'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/dummybrainy/status/1930710318315159798'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/nincompoopdude9/status/1930746220953338351'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> This situation now begs the question will the rest of the Calgary Flames fan base follow suit and support the Oilers to break the drought and win Canada their first Stanley Cup since 1993.
