Edmonton and Las Vegas mayors trade jabs, agree to Oilers-Knights bet
It appears the stakes in the Oilers vs. Golden Knights playoff series have just been taken up a notch.
As Edmonton Oilers and Las Vegas Golden Knights prepare for Game 1 of their Stanley Cup Playoff series, Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman challenged Edmonton Mayor Amarjeet Sohi to a friendly wager, but not before throwing in a quick jab.
“You’ll look great in gold, Mayor!” Goodman wrote in a tweet.
Looking forward to a great series between @GoldenKnights & @EdmontonOilers.
