Hey @AmarjeetSohiYEG, friendly wager? Losing team's mayor wears the winning team's jersey at a public event? #FindAWay #GoAvsGo
Mayor Sohi was quick to oblige Mayor Hancock's wager.
You're on, @MayorHancock, and I'm sure you'll look great in @EdmontonOilers blue and orange after we sweep the Avs. ???????? #LetsGoOilers https://t.co/4SxAxs0o2i pic.twitter.com/be8rMlmYl3

Most of us know the results of the series by now, and Mayor Sohi -- with some evident dismay -- showed Wednesday he was a great sport and wore a sharp-looking Avs home jersey at his Edmonton office.
Sohi even wished the Avs good luck in the Stanley Cup Final.
Sigh. A deal's a deal. @MayorHancock, this one's for you. ????
