One Red Wings fan answers an arena full of Oilers chants
The NHL's crowd-audio Short draws roughly a quarter-million views, with viewers wondering how much voice the lone Detroit supporter had left.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 261,911 views a day, 10 times a normal first day on this channel (25,022).
Oilers Fans vs. One Determined Red Wings Fan 😂
Detroit and Edmonton are tied in the third period, but the soundtrack has a distinctly uneven lineup: the Oilers home crowd on one side, a single very audible Red Wings supporter on the other.
The NHL's Short keeps the camera on the hockey while the crowd supplies the entertainment. Edmonton's chant rolls around the arena. In the gap, the Detroit fan shouts his own team's name. The home crowd starts again, and he answers again, managing repeated calls without getting swallowed by the noise.
The clip's first-day views reached roughly a quarter-million, far beyond the league channel's usual Shorts audience. Its comment section was more than six times as busy as a typical first day, too.
Viewers are talking about the pauses that give him room to respond, whether he happened to be near a microphone, and what his voice might sound like afterward. An Oilers supporter offers him credit, while another commenter would happily draft him for a fantasy team on energy alone.
The game itself is also drawing unusual attention on the channel, through both its full highlights and a separate shootout clip. That one gives Detroit supporters another reason to raise their voices: Michal Postava, making his first NHL start, turns aside Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.

Haha Finnie, Debrincat, and Raymond did their thing for me tonight in fantasy. And the wings held McDavid, who’s on my opponents team, to just an assist. So shout out. But it I could, I’d draft this fan for sure, just for the energy 😂
