The Edmonton Oilers managed to force a Game 7 after being down 3-0 in the series, a rare feat in NHL history. But it wasn’t just the team’s performance on the ice that caught people’s attention. A fan, known only as “Kait,” became a viral sensation after flashing the crowd during a playoff game against the Dallas Stars. Unapologetic about her actions, Kait’s moment of spontaneity led to a deal with Playboy magazine.
Playboy introduced Kait as the Oilers’ good luck charm, praising her for supporting the team in her unique way. Her photos in ice skates and playful poses were featured on Instagram, solidifying her new role as a model for the magazine. Kait revealed on a Barstool Sports podcast that her decision to flash the crowd was impulsive, fueled by a few drinks and some snacks.
The Stanley Cup Final will now head to a decisive Game 7 in Sunrise, Florida, a rare occurrence in NHL history. The Toronto Maple Leafs are the only team to have completed a 3-0 comeback in the Final, achieving the feat twice in 1942 and 1945. The Oilers have the chance to make history by winning their first Cup since 1990 and bringing Canada its first championship since 1993.
If the Oilers secure the victory, it would mark the second consecutive year that the Florida Panthers lose in the Final, following their defeat against the Vegas Golden Knights last year. The pressure will be on both teams as they face off in a winner-takes-all game. Fans are eagerly anticipating the outcome, hoping to witness a memorable end to an already thrilling series.
