If you've ever wondered what 11 years of pent-up excitement looks and sounds like, Rogers Place was the place to be Saturday night. As the game ended, thousands of jubilant Oilers fans spilled out of Rogers Place and into the adjacent Ford Hall for an impromptu dance party. Thirteen-year-old Nicole Hidalgo from Grande Prairie came to Rogers Place to celebrate her birthday with friends. "Eleven years old, back in the day, we barely experienced it and now we're moving on to the second round." While the dance party kicked into high gear inside Ford Hall, a frenzy of fans mobbed the Gretzky statue outside Rogers Place.
