Edmonton Oilers fans lose it as they are eliminated by Vegas Golden Knights - "This team is an utter embarrassment"

The Edmonton Oilers have been eliminated from the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs after the Vegas Golden Knights beat them 5-2 in Game 6 at Rogers Place on Sunday.

The Vegas Golden Knights punched their ticket to the Western Conference Finals with their win on the night. Before the first period, the Edmonton Oilers led 2-1. The Vegas Golden Knights came back to win 5-2, though.

Oilers fans were disappointed with their team's performance. One said:

"that also seals the deal. I am no longer a Oilers fan. This team is a pure and utter embarrassment to the city of Edmonton. I officially will not be renewing my plan next season nor will I watch on tv ever again. I’m going to Vancouver where they know how to run a mega dynasty."
