Panthers Forward Sam Reinhart Sparks Controversy After Taking A Subtle Shot At Oilers Fans
This afternoon in a new interview Florida Panthers forward Sam Reinhart called out Edmonton Oilers fans with a subtle diss.
The Stanley Cup Finals through two games has been full of action and controversy with each team taking home a win.
While the Oilers have looked dominant at times in this series coming away with only one win out of their two game home ice advantage is a disappointment.
With things shifting back to Florida for Game 3 reporters decided to ask Sam Reinhart about the challenges of playing the first two games on the road.
In his response, Reinhart not only downplayed the difficulty but also challenged the Oilers fans.
Sam Reinhart Throws Shade At Edmonton Oilers Fans
During a press conference ahead of Game 3, Reinhart revealed that he does not feel a difference between playing at home and on the road.
He admitted that the Oilers crowd did not impact his game whatsoever but that playing in front of the home crowd could potentially provide a boost.
While these comments from Reinhart aren't that harsh, they do put down the Edmonton Oilers crowd and fans who would love to have an impact on any Oilers home game.
Oilers fans have proven to be some of the most loyal and passionate fans in the NHL breaking single season revenue records in back to back seasons.
With the series tied at one game a piece, the series will eventually head back to Edmonton where the Oilers fans will have an opportunity to exact their revenge on Reinhart and prove they can impact a game.
