EDMONTON -- There's much at stake for the Oilers in these Stanley Cup playoffs. Just ask their fans.
Thousands of them gather in droves before each game all around Rogers Place. Every side street is filled to the brim. There's a formal -- and free -- tailgate party set up across from the arena, boasting live music, a massive screen on which to watch the game and a line to get in snaking around the block hours ahead of the puck drop for last Sunday's Game 3 of the Oilers' second-round playoff series against the Calgary Flames.
