Mayor Johnson, Edmonton Mayor Sohi make friendly wager on Stars-Oilers game
DALLAS — Dallas Mayor Eric L. Johnson and Edmonton Mayor Amarjeet Sohi announced a friendly wager ahead of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs Western Conference Finals between the Dallas Stars and the Edmonton Oilers.
If the Stars beat the Oilers, Mayor Sohi will record a video wishing the Stars good luck in the Stanley Cup Finals while wearing a Stars jersey. If the Oilers beat the Stars, Mayor Johnson will record a video wishing the Oilers good luck in the Stanley Cup Finals while wearing an Oilers jersey.
Mayor Sohi tweeted on Thursday, “Hey @DallasMayor! The @EdmontonOilers are facing off against your @DallasStars in the Western Conference Finals starting tonight - as the last Canadian team standing, we've got the full force of the great white north behind us! We already know Alberta beef is better, and the northern lights beat southern heat any day. Next, we're adding Hockey to the list of ways Edmonton is better!”
“How about a friendly wager? When the Oilers beat the Stars, you have to wear an Oilers jersey and record a video wishing us good luck in the Stanley Cup finals. If your team wins, I'll do the same,” Mayor Sohi said. “My wife, Sarbjeet, and I, along with the city of Edmonton are buzzing with excitement for round 3! We are looking forward to seeing your video!! #LetsGoOilers”
Mayor Johnson responded, “You have a deal @AmarjeetSohiYEG! I can’t wait to see you in a @DallasStars jersey cheering Dallas on as we play for the @StanleyCup!🌟🏒 Oh, and nobody who has ever eaten both our beef and yours has ever come away thinking Alberta beef is better. But throw some in anyway when you lose.😉🥩 ”
“I am thrilled to have two sports wagers with other mayors in one week,” said Mayor Johnson. “Dallas is a city of winners, and the Dallas Stars are no exception. They have played an incredible season, and I look forward to seeing Mayor Sohi root for Dallas when we head to the Stanley Cup Finals!”
The Dallas Stars will face the Edmonton Oilers in Game 1 of the NHL Playoffs Western Conference Finals on Thursday, May 23, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas at 7:30 p.m. CT.
