Amarjeet Sohi is happy to take a bet from a southern Florida counterpart. Because Edmonton’s mayor is confident this is the year his hometown Oilers will win the Stanley Cup. Sunrise, Fla., Mayor Michael Ryan, in a video posted to his city’s YouTube channel, challenged Sohi to accept the stakes: If the Florida Panthers defeat the Oilers in this year’s rematch of the NHL championship, Sohi will wear the jersey of the current Cup champions and declare a Florida Panthers Day and City of Sunrise Day in Edmonton. Sohi accepted the challenge from Ryan but is confident he won’t have to pay up. He said Tuesday he is mulling creative potential duties for Ryan “when the Oilers win.” This year’s Stanley Cup final starts Wednesday at Rogers Place. The Panthers beat the Oilers in last year’s Cup final in seven games.
