Overview

• At E11EVEN in Miami on June 20, Panthers stars paraded the Stanley Cup in a packed strip club and played Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club,” the Oilers’ unofficial playoff song.
• Matthew Tkachuk took the microphone to shout “Connor McDavid who?” prompting a crowd chant of “F*ck McDavid” that went viral online.
• Sam Reinhart was filmed telling a fan to “shut the f-ck up” when asked about McDavid, underscoring the team’s deliberate targeting of the Oilers captain.
• The taunts followed Florida’s second straight Stanley Cup win over Edmonton, in which the Panthers outscored the Oilers 28–17 and held McDavid to just one goal.
• NHL fans and commentators have criticized the celebration as unsportsmanlike and warned that such antics could tarnish the league’s reputation.
