The Edmonton Oilers won their series 4-1 -- anyone who pre-bought tickets for the 2nd Round would have known on April 28th, 8 full days ago when the Oilers went up 3-1 with Game 5 being at home, that the Oilers were likely to move on to the next series.
>As of 2021, Edmonton had a city population of 1,010,899 and a metropolitan population of 1,418,118, making it the fifth-largest city[15][16] and sixth-largest metropolitan area (CMA) in CanadaYou are an absolute motherfucking retarded asshole if you honestly believe all 1,418,118 people in Edmonton are 1) hockey fans, 2) Edmonton Oiler hockey fans specifically, and 3) will forsake any and all other activities to watch (live) Game 1 of a playoff series for a team that has made the playoffs 5 straight years. This isn't the New York Jets making the playoffs for the first time in a decade.
Edmonton has hosted exactly 1 event in AEW's 5 year history and WWE hasn't been there since 2022. If Dynamite doesn't draw, it's because AEW is ice cold, not because fans are watching ice hockey.
