Edmonton Oilers fans rip Philip Broberg after costly giveaway to McDavid
Edmonton Oilers fans are absolutely ripping Philip Broberg after a costly give away that lead to a beautiful goal by Connor McDavid.
St. Louis Blues defenceman Philip Broberg was retrieving the puck in his own zone in what seemed like routine play.
Unfortunately, his pass misfired, deflecting off a teammate and landing directly into McDavids wheel house.
Naturally, Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid ripped home a laser past Jordan Binnington to put the Oil up 2-0.
To add insult to injury, fans at Rogers place taunted Philip Broberg after the goal.
Before puck drop, the former Edmonton Oilers defenceman spoke in an interview, delivering a strong message for the fanbase.
-Philip Broberg
Although Philip Broberg emphasized how much the fanbase means to him, his reception at Rogers place tonight hasn't exactly been a friendly one.
In the 1st period, Philip Broberg touched the puck for the first time, and Oilers enthusiasts filled the stadium with boo's, and reaction continued every time he handles the puck.
The Edmonton Oilers are off to a hot start tonight, and they seem to be dominating the St. Louis Blues in every category. Hopefully they can keep this momentum heading into the 3rd period.
So far tonight, Philip Broberg is a combined -2 rating on the ice, and I think Oilers fans are taking some satisfaction in that.
