An Edmonton couple in Dallas decided to poke fun at the Calgary Flames as the team took on the Dallas Stars Saturday evening.
Taylor Riar and Allie Larson travelled to Texas to watch the Dallas Mavericks compete in the NBA Western Conference semifinals.
While there, the pair of sports fans decided to purposely go to the Stars game to cheer them on and root against the Flames.
"One of our friends that were sitting with us said, well, you should go to the (Dallas) Stars game and wear Oilers jerseys," Riar told CTV News Edmonton.
"So we thought, (it) might as well be like a fun thing to do; probably get some laughs from the Dallas fans and Calgary fans might be a little bit upset," he added.
They managed to find some lower bowl seats at the American Airlines Center and crafted a pair of uniquely Edmontonian signs, saying: "Anyone But Calgary," and "Calgary sucks."
The Edmontonians' stunt garnered a massive reaction on social media, with some even hailing them as "heroes."
