With just over a minute remaining in the first period, Florida Panthers right winger Sam Reinhart deflected a shot by teammate Gustav Forsling past Edmonton Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner, drawing first blood in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Rogers Place appeared to fall silent – save for one lone fan wearing an Oilers jersey, who leapt to her feet.
Arms raised seemingly in triumph amid a sea of despairing Oilers fans, the woman appeared to be in a state of rapture – so much so that video of her reaction shared on social media ignited something of a frenzy.
Lmfao, Oilers fan too far gone to realize she’s cheering for the wrong team 🤣
