Oilers fans are known for going all out, and some fans at Monday night’s game did just that, including radio personality Lauren Hunter, who fully dressed up as the Stanley Cup. Bravo! Someone also wore a Michael Myers mask from the iconic film Halloween, because why not!?

Fans in Rogers Place and watching at home were treated to a rather rambunctious game, with numerous run-ins between Oilers and Kings players. These teams are just so fond of each other, aren’t they? The arena absolutely erupted at each call from the referees, but got especially loud when the goal that would have taken Edmonotnon out of overtime got called back. Ear muffs were needed!
