Travis Kelce has decided to experience Stanley Cup playoff fever.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end attended Game 2 of the Western Final between the Edmonton Oilers and the Dallas Stars at the American Airlines Center on Saturday. He was spotted in a dressing room with friends.
On social media, the Stars joked that they had a Blank Space on their jersey so Kelce could write his name on it, a reference to the song by his friend, singer Taylor Swift.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes let it be known that his teammate was not welcome in his native region…
Kelce then responded by exposing his inability to skate.
The Stanley Cup semifinal will be the ninth all-time post-season meeting Oilers vs. Stars
Earlier this year, the three-time Super Bowl champion revealed his love of hockey and Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard in an episode of his New Heights podcast.
Oilers vs. Stars
The Oilers began Game 2 on Saturday how they wanted to by building a 16-5 shot advantage in the opening frame, but they couldn't turn that up-tempo start into an advantage when Connor Brown's first of the playoffs that came 44 seconds after Jamie Benn's opening goal went down as Edmonton's only chance of many that they capitalized on in the opening 20 minutes.
Dallas began to respond over a scoreless middle stanza before Mason Marchment's tip-in less than four minutes into the final frame demonstrated just how slim the margin for error can be when you're this deep into the playoffs.
The forward's goal proved to be the difference to secure the Stars a split of the series after the Oilers' offence came up empty in the final three-quarters of the period against a committed Dallas defence willing to block shots and win battles.
