B.C. Premier David Eby did just that on Monday, as the Edmonton Oilers prepare to make a go for the Stanley Cup in the finals against the Florida Panthers, and could be the team to end Canada's more than 30-year cup drought. Back in May, when hopes were still high for the Vancouver Canucks, Eby agreed to a friendly, perhaps lame, wager with his Alberta counterpart Danielle Smith: whoever lost the Canucks-Oilers Round 2 matchup would have to deliver a statement in legislature penned by the winner, wearing the opposing team's jersey. On Monday, orange was the new blue in B.C. Vancouver lost the series to Edmonton in Game 7 two weeks ago Monday.
