Oilers got some curious advice from John Tavares for the Stanley Cup final
In an unforeseen twist in the realm of Canadian hockey, Edmonton Oilers have garnered support from a corner no one expected�Toronto Maple Leafs Captain John Tavares.
With the Leafs' season wrapped up prematurely once more, Tavares took the opportunity at a recent red carpet event to share his views on the Oilers' stunning performance in the Stanley Cup Final.
During his red carpet appearance, Tavares reflected on the Oilers' current state in the finals, notably after a decisive victory that turned the tides against their formidable opponents, the Florida Panthers.
It's a rare sight in the NHL to observe a player from another team openly discuss the ongoing finals with such enthusiasm. The usual professional reserve often keeps players' true sentiments about competitors' success under wraps. Yet, Tavares' candidness not only highlights his sportsmanship but also reflects a broader national sentiment rooting for a Canadian triumph in the NHL.
Tavares' comments, just shy of an outright endorsement for the Oilers, underscore a unique scenario. It's not common to see a player of his stature make such supportive remarks toward a competing team in the finals, especially given the historical context of the Leafs' playoff struggles. This situation marks a notable moment in the ongoing narrative of the Stanley Cup, stirring interest and discussions among fans and observers alike.
