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 🤣

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,500 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
Things have not improved for the hometown team. With less than 12 minutes left in regulation, the Oilers trail the Panthers 4-2.
