Oilers Fans Call for Return of Viral 'Good Luck Charm' in Stanley Cup Finals
The Edmonton Oilers have leveled their Stanley Cup finals series against the Florida Panthers, and fans are rallying for the return of a familiar face—Kait Flynn, the woman who became an internet sensation during last year’s playoffs.
Flynn's rise to fame began during the Oilers' playoff run last season when she made headlines for an impromptu display in the stands during Game 5 of the NHL Conference Finals against the Dallas Stars. Amidst the excitement, she lifted her shirt, flashing her chest to the crowd, a moment that quickly went viral.
Throughout the game, Kait was seen celebrating enthusiastically, but it was her unexpected gesture that captured the attention of fans and media alike. “We were all going crazy. It wasn’t planned or anything—it just kind of happened,” she later recounted on the Spittin' Chiclets podcast, reflecting on the spontaneous nature of her actions.
Following her viral fame, Kait secured a deal with Playboy, who dubbed her the "Oilers good luck charm." Despite not being present during last season's finals—where the Panthers triumphed over the Oilers—her absence has been felt this year as Edmonton seeks to break a 32-year championship drought.
After a thrilling overtime victory in Game 4, fans are humorously calling for Kait's return. Barstool Sports even shared an image of her projected into the sky, reminiscent of how Batman is summoned. The caption read: “Only one person can save the Oilers.”
Comments from fans have echoed this sentiment, with one stating, “They need her more than ever bros,” while another added, “Definitely can’t hurt.” As the Oilers prepare for two of their next three games at home, speculation grows about whether Kait might make a special appearance to support her team as they continue their playoff journey.
The city of Edmonton remains captivated by the finals, and with Kait's unique connection to the team, her potential return could add an extra layer of excitement to an already thrilling series.
