The Edmonton Oilers didn't succeed in their quest to overcome a 3-0 series deficit in the Stanley Cup Finals. The Florida Panthers instead hung on for the win, skating to a 2-1 edge in Game 7 for the title. And what a great story for the Panthers, who won their first Cup.
But what a great story for the Oilers, too, as Kait the Flasher emerged as a celebrity. She even signed with Playboy. And hey, even Oilers GM Ken Holland admittedly knew the story.
"I haven't seen anything ... I've heard about it," Holland said on Woodward Sports, laughing fairly hysterically. "But you know this time of year ... I think what hockey does, it's a passionate sport. If you love hockey ... gosh, it makes people do all kinds of (things)."
She did pick her Oilers to win ... Game 7 ... from the shower. It was a winning pick, so many will tell you, even though she was wrong. Kait, as she has become known, signed with Playboy earlier in the day. Then the Oilers lost.
"So I was talking with my good buddy Biz over at Spittin' Chiclets," she said in the clip posted by Spittin' Chiclets on X. "And he said: 'What do you think's gonna happen tonight, Kait?' I said: 'You don't even have to ask, Biz.'
"'Without a doubt, McJesus (Connor McDavid) is gonna lead the Oilers to a victory, and the Cup is coming back to Edmonton.'"
The shower featured a sign that read, "Reserved parking, Oilers fans only," the video revealed.
"Hey, ya bunch of beauties, what's going on today?" Kait asked to open the video. "You guys liked my last thinking place so much that I thought I'd share another one with you — the shower.
"I come here to get my most important decisions made [and] have a little drinky-poo [every] once in a while."
It was a nice try but fell flat. The prediction we mean. Everything else was a success.
