Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane has claimed some Los Angeles Kings fans engaged in completely unacceptable behavior during Game 3 of the series between the two teams.
For last Friday's matchup, the skater invited a young fan who suffers from brain cancer to attend the game in California.
“Cecily Rose had a great trip to Los Angeles last last week and created some incredible memories. But, some of his experiences – specifically during Game 3 – weren't,” Kane wrote on his Instagram account on Tuesday.

“I am disgusted and appalled by what happened to this amazing little girl in the stands and in the women's room where she was harassed for wearing her jersey. A Los Angeles fan spat on him for doing it. This type of behavior is rude and completely unacceptable. For a young girl, especially someone battling brain cancer, to be treated like this is pathetic. Grow up and as this smart young lady always says, BE KIND!”
A Kings fan responded to Kane's “Story's” and his comments are unsettling.
“You maybe you should be nice and not a jerk. We Kings fans hate you. You made us spit on a child, because you're an asshole. Listen to your own advice and be nice.”
– Game 5 of the series between the Oilers and the Kings will be played on Tuesday evening and broadcast on TVA Sports at 9:30 p.m. two formations are tied 2 to 2.
