Two fans, one supporting the Oilers and the other backing the Canucks, exchanged blows, leading to a scuffle that spilled over several seats.
The situation escalated to the point where police intervention was necessary to restore order. This incident is undoubtedly an embarrassment for the hockey community, as it highlights the negative consequences of excessive alcohol consumption during games.
