Feline friends come together. Cat fest on the prowl in edmonton. The trickle-down effect of the oilers going deep into playoffs and why some businesses are taking a hit when the oil hit the ice. And feline friends come together and cap fast on the prowl in edmonton. >> Announcer: you're watching global edmonton. This is global news morning. >> Lisa: hello, hello, good morning and welcome to 7:00 a.m.-- how are you doing today? >> Kevin: pretty well. >> Lisa: know oilers jersey today? >> Kevin: not the game today. Tomorrow, when they're in town. If we won yesterday, if we had one-- I would have. But now I'm morning in black. >> Lisa: if there was a... Vibe vibe,. >> Kevin: you have to mother still way more to there way more to come. >> Lisa: I love there is more to come. Because you did weather for calgary yesterday and our friend shane blakely wore the jersey. >> Kevin: when they're in the playoffs, they are not... They are not [laughing] let's even leave it there. >> Lisa: that's the name of the game. >> Kevin: and we wouldn't complain about it but we would be lighthearted. >> Lisa: oh, yes, or no doubt I guess. >> Kevin: one of the two would happen in, boy! It was beautiful and the sun was shining in the wind was down and it just felt beautiful outside. Today, little more on the unstable side of things in 60 percent chance of thundershowers on and off throughout the day today and boy, starting tomorrow-- at least you will love what's coming up. Details in just a few minutes. >> Lisa: the message behind a provincial wide protest saturday "enough is enough" groups in alberta have been rallying against the alberta government policy calling for more transparency and accountability. >>our rocky mountains...not for sale...our democracy...not for sale! >>lisa: this was the protest here in edmonton...as *hundreds* of demonstrators gathered outside the alberta legislature. Speakers discussed the alberta pension plan...legislation around municipal parties...and overhauls to the province's healthcare system. The common theme... Is those protesting do not feel heard... >>the only way to change the behaviour of a sitting government that has a majority is heat. And heat can come in many different forms, but a big, vocal demonstration like this is a good one. >>reporter: we reached out to the u-c-p government on this...and it says they support* albertans' right to protest...adding that anyone with concerns can reach out to their m-l-as. The province goes on to say that recent polling suggests albertans *largely support* the government on the economy, affordability and the health care system. Police on scene last night at an apartment complex on 47-th avenue and 108-a street near southgate mall. Witnesses telling global news they heard gunshots shortly before police arrived. E-p-s has not released any details on the incident. Edmonton police is asking for the public's help to find a missing 15-year-old boy. Ludwin bautista was last seen in the area of 142-nd avenue and 72-nd street just before 4 a-m on friday. He was wearing a white shirt, black pants and shoes. He is described as average height with a fuller build and short dark brown hair. Police say he is known to frequent the clareview rec centre... Londonderry and west edmonton malls. The edmonton oilers were really >> Announcer: you're watching global news morning. >> Lisa: edmonton oilers are really looking to keep momemtum going in dallas last night to take a two nothing lead in their western conference series against the stars but it proved to be a tougher battle in texas. Game two didn't get off to the best* start for the oilers. Jamie benn gets the puck past stuart skinner to open up the scoring on the stars first shot on net.

but under a minute later... Oiler connor brown responds - tying the game at one. And the game remained tied until mason marchment tips it in giving the stars the 2-1 lead. Two minutes left in this one âc“ the oilers pull on the game remained tied until stuart skinner to open up the scoring on the stars first shot on net. Two minutes left in this one and the oilers pulled their goalie and some might say a bit too early in dallas capitalizes....scoring an empty netter to add a cushion and seal a 3-1 win....as the oilers drop game two and dallas ties the series 1-1. >>you never like to... Didn't lose then we didn't capitalize. >> It's nice to contribute offensively 5 on 5. Like my process game is good. And having fun out there. It's obviously fun to score. >> If you had told me for 5 days ago against dallas who knocked out vegas. Colorado and for us to common to play very well. To split one. So we would've taken that. >> Lisa: luckily the series now shifts to rogers place for game three tomorrow. Puck drop is shortly after 6:30 and you can catch all the action live on 630 ched. We'll also have full team coverage on global news at 5...6 and 11 monday. No matter where you look in edmonton - it's hard *not* to find some orange and blue. The city is fully invested in this year's stanley cup playoff run. So invested - that some businesses are seeing a *drop* in customers anytime the oilers hit the ice. Jasmine king has the story. >> Reporter: when the oilers aren't inaction, tarred to find somewhere downtown that isn't packed full of fans. The fan parking ice district plaza sees thousands of people each game and while one arena is full, another sitting empty. The silent eye centre is exactly that during oilers games-- silent, when typically it's quite the opposite. >> Nonstop noise, kids on the ice, kids off the ice, parents everywhere and right now we could throw a bowling ball through your not hit anyone because everyone's focus. >> Reporter: on the oilers the facilities is hosting a determinant this weekend but it's nice to book time around game too. Any other night-- all the action would be in their own ranks. >> Games wall-to-wall, to games on the video wall and patch karina crespo will be busy as well. >> Reporter: for anyone looking to the traffic, there's plenty of room after the puck drop by and there's also a lot of spaces like businesses that activate who usually have people lined up to go inside. >> It's been slower-- it's not dead but it's definitely a decline for sure. >> Reporter: activate is a physical and mental gaming facility for challenges of people of all ages. Although they are not seeing a rush during oilers game-- they are still getting in the spirit. >> They love to have fun with the people who are or their fans get them about the game and get them excited about our games because they're excited about the games. So it generates a very positive environment. >> Reporter: of positivity that could hopefully translate to game three victory. Jasmine king, global news >> Lisa: I finally found out about the stanley cup woman-- the woman that dresses up for every game and this week and I found out about her and I mean, got to hand it to her, every game, good for you! That's a lot of work. >> Kevin: the bolt... Make your statement and you gotta do it. >> Lisa: what weather statement are you making today? >> Kevin: not as nice as yesterday and certainly not as nice as tomorrow or tuesday or wednesday. >> Lisa: that's okay, that's a positive way to look at it. >> Kevin: today we got a bit of shower activity and we saw few shares. >> Lisa: oh, we did, did notice. >> Kevin: actually got a few when we came to work. >> Lisa: I did notice. >> Kevin: the roads were bitten wet when I came in yesterday. Sort of an overcast outside right now and yes after that with sunshine and warm temperatures on the way and that's a look at the orchards right now 10 degrees is the current tempter and looking downtown edmonton, 11 degrees with partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies and northwest winds at 5 km/hour so-- a relatively warm morning and not assigning sunny and little sunny space in there but... Generally speaking we are overcast and expecting some showers later on this afternoon that turns into possibly of seeing thundershowers as well. Looking at satellite and radar pictures right now, we got some shower activities right around city of edmonton-- same thing in calgary and not a big surprise in there. Only calling for that yesterday looks like it's here for today. Are relatively cloudier day and then the active shower activity right over the city right now certainly up to slave lake and fort mcmurray so not quite as stable as yesterday and certainly not a stable as we are getting into tomorrow. Moving out of the claire's home region in south and east of calgary into medicine hat region. We also have some showers moving in the direction there.
