In professional sports, fans take it upon themselves to try and get into the heads of the opposing team's players in any way possible. They cheer loudly to disrupt communication or use boos to try and throw off the opposing team's momentum.
Despite the fan's attempt at gamesmanship, no Kings player touched his hand. The Oilers got off to a rocky start, falling behind 3-0 in the first period. However, they stormed back and managed to tie the game 4-4, sending it into overtime.
