Oilers fans sullen after losing Stanley Cup final to Panthers 2nd year in a row

Oilers fans were feeling déjà vu after losing the Stanley Cup final to the Florida Panthers for the second year in a row.

Diehards and band-wagoners alike gathered in the pavilion next to Rogers Place and looked on as the Panthers hoisted the cup after winning 5-1 in Game 6 of the finals.

Fans cried out in frustration as the team struggled to break through Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky's wall. Rolls of toilet paper could be seen flying through the air and fans kicked at crumpled plastic beer glasses as the clock ticked down.

Kevin Follett stood in disbelief next to his upturned plastic Stanley Cup with a beer on top. 

"It's been a back-and-forth series. I really didn't think Game 6 would go 5-1.

"It's been really stressful," he said. "Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid are only young for so long. We have got to take advantage of it while the going is good — we can't wait forever."

Sullen faces put up their hands in disbelief and started to disperse in the third period after the Panthers scored their fourth and fifth goals.

Princess Kailes said seeing fans throw rolls of toilet paper and beer cups feels disrespectful after watching the players work so hard.

"I feel like I've been walking through like a funeral this time and it's really sad," Kailes said.

"We still made it as the front runners and this is how we're treating our city."

Despite the disappointment, Kailes said she's hopeful for next year. 

Earlier Tuesday, car horns blared throughout downtown in anticipation. One fan in line for the Moss Pit responded with an air horn of his own. He raised a fake Stanley Cup above
