If the Golden Knights emerge victorious, Cowell says she will send barbecue for Berkley to enjoy. Berkley upped the ante, challenging Cowell to wear a Golden Knights jersey at a city council meeting as well.
Should the Canes win, Berkley will have to send Cowell a sequined Carolina jersey and wear a Hurricanes jersey at a council meeting.
Berkley also offered to send a “Las Vegas gift basket to die for.”
“If I were you, I would never bet against Vegas,” she added.
Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final is set for Tuesday, June 2, in Raleigh, followed by Game 2 on Thursday.
The series shifts to Las Vegas for Game 3 on Saturday, June 6, and Game 4 on Tuesday, June 9.
