During the second intermission, the Kraken's official Twitter account shared a tweet confidently stating, "This is a good look at the score graphic if you ask us," accompanied by a photo of the Oilers trailing 3-1, even pointing out their faceoff loss.
However, hockey is a game of unpredictable turns, and the Kraken's tweet seemed to be tempting fate.
In a stunning reversal, the Edmonton Oilers responded with two quick goals, leveling the score. The climax came in overtime when Oilers forward Evander Kane completed a hat-trick, securing the victory.
This incident serves as a cautionary tale in the hockey world about the potential consequences of premature confidence.
The age-old adage "never speak too soon" echoed through the outcome of last night's game, reminding teams and fans alike of the unpredictable nature of the sport and the importance of respecting the game until the final buzzer sounds.
