A female Edmonton Oilers fan went viral during the team’s run to the Stanley Cup final after she flashed the crowd during a game in the team’s series against the Dallas Stars. The moment became a rallying cry for Oilers fans, and sports fans in general, as Edmonton secured a spot in its quest to bring Lord Stanley’s Cup home to Canada.
The Identity Reveal
However, the mystery of the identity of the woman remained in the days after. The Barstool Sports podcast "Spittin’ Chiclets" tracked down the woman, who only revealed her identity as Kait.
Kait's Message to Critics
On Monday, before the team took on the Florida Panthers in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final, she had a message to those who criticized her for the cheeky moment.
"I thought long and hard what I wanted to say to everybody. … I just wanted to say, you could be the most perfect, godly f---ing person in the world. You could save kittens from the river if they were drowning. Someone’s still going to hate you," Kait said.
She added, "So you know what? I got drunk and whipped my t--s out at an Oilers game, and they went viral? F--- you if you don’t like it. Woo! Go Oilers!"

Kate said on the Barstool Sports podcast that she had about eight Truly hard seltzers and a handful of Cheezies before deciding to flash the crowd.
"It wasn’t planned or anything… and yeah, it just kind of happened," she said.
Similar Incidents at Sporting Events
Being in the midst of a raucous crowd at a sporting event seems to make females more likely to show their chests off nowadays. Hardly a month ago, a Blue Jays fan bared her mammaries on camera during a win over the Los Angeles Dodgers during the World Series. An Oilers fan became famous for the very reason last year, trending after treating the internet to some flash action during a playoff game.
UGLY! Post-Game Fan Reaction: Oilers vs Flames
A woman sitting in the front row figured she’d give players some extra motivation during the Rangers-Avs game on Thursday night… by flashing them. With Avs forward Artturi Lehkonen and Rangers defenseman Adam Fox fighting over a puck on the boards, she stood right up and lifted her top. As you can see, the sighting immediately broke up the fight.
It appears there’s something about such an atmosphere that puts a woman in a raunchy mood. Of course, the tap usually flows at such events, so it could be as simple as that. Perhaps it will be studied one day, but, in the meantime, just enjoy it.
