Edmonton Oilers fans arrive to the arena before the Oilers take on the Florida Panthers in Game 1 of the NHL Stanley Cup final in Sunrise, Fla. on Saturday, June 8, 2024.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis have made a friendly wager on the Stanley Cup final.
Smith says in a social media post that if the Florida Panthers win the hockey series, she’ll send some Alberta-made whisky down to Florida.
DeSantis replies that if the Edmonton Oilers win, he’ll send some Florida rum up to Alberta.
And, he says, he’ll throw in a key lime pie, the official state pie.
The Oilers are looking to even the best-of-seven series Monday night in Florida.
The Panthers beat the Oilers 3-0 in Saturday’s opening game.
