‘One person can save them' – NHL boob flasher urged to ‘help' Edmonton Oilers beat Florida Panthers in Stanley Cup
THE Edmonton Oilers tied up their tense Stanley Cup finals match-up with the Florida Panthers - and have been urged to bring back their 'good luck charm.'
Kait Flynn has gained significant online notoriety in the past year after going viral for her boob-flashing role in the Oilers run in last year's post-season.

In last year's playoff run, Kait had a moment of madness as she showed her boobs in the middle of the NHL Conference Finals against the Dallas Stars match in game five.
The Oilers fan was spotted celebrating in the stands throughout the game before flashing her chest by lifting her team shirt.
Then she began to shake her chest from side-to-side, before dropping her top and turning to face the camera in amusement.
Kait caught some flack for her the display that went viral but she told the Spittin' Chiclets podcast: "We were all going crazy. It wasn't planned or anything - it just kind of happened."
She would follow up her newfound fame with a signed deal with Playboy, who announced her as the "Oilers good luck charm."
Though not spotted at last season's Final as the Panthers would edge past their Canadian rivals to claim their first ever Holy Grail, the 35-year-old has been urged to appear in this year's edition.
The Edmonton club are aiming to end a 32-year Cup drought after coming back in Game 4 overtime to level up proceedings.
Fans joked they need her good luck again with Barstool Sports sharing a picture of Kait projected in the sky in the way Batman is summoned.
The caption read: "Only one person can save the Oilers."
One said: "They need here more than ever bros."
A second said: "You know it!"
Another added: "Definitely can't hurt."
Two of the Oilers' next three games will be played at home - maybe she might make a special appearance as the city of Edmonton continues to be enthralled by the Finals.

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri collide as George Russell triumphs at Canadian GP
Lando Norris crashed out of the Canadian Grand Prix following a sensational 200mph collision with McLaren team-mate and championship rival Oscar Piastri. As George Russell delivered a faultless drive to win from pole position ahead of Red Bull rival Max Verstappen, Norris banged into the back of Piastri as they duelled for fourth place with three laps to go. Advertisement Norris attempted to pass Piastri across the start-finish line but he misjudged the move and hit his team-mate's car. GEORGE RUSSELL WINS IN CANADA! 👏🏆 A controlled victory for the Mercedes driver who withstands the pressure from Max Verstappen behind 💪 #F1 #CanadianGP — Formula 1 (@F1) June 15, 2025 Norris was forced to park his damaged McLaren and immediately accepted blame for the incident. 'It is all my bad,' he said on the radio 'All my fault. Unlucky. Stupid from me.' The race ended behind the safety car with Kimi Antonelli taking third place – his first podium in Formula One – to complete a strong afternoon for Mercedes. Piastri was able to continue to cross the line in fourth and extend his championship lead from 10 points to 22. Following their collision at the last round in Spain, all eyes were on pole-sitter Russell and second-placed Verstappen at the start in Montreal. Advertisement Russell's reaction time was quicker than Verstappen's, and by the time they arrived for the opening left-right chicane, he was comfortably ahead. Even Verstappen, not adverse to a bold move, was unable to do anything to challenge Russell and the Mercedes man led. Verstappen kept him honest for the opening handful of laps but by the start of the sixth lap, Russell was more than a second ahead, and crucially out of DRS range. Russell celebrates his victory.

Music to the ears of Norris, who made two mistakes in qualifying to start the 10th round of the campaign four places behind his title rival. Norris was on the move on lap 11 to take Fernando Alonso on the back straight for sixth before sailing clear of Lewis Hamilton four laps later. Hamilton endured another poor afternoon after he sustained damage to his Ferrari after he hit a groundhog before taking the chequered flag in sixth. Advertisement Norris started on the hard tyre compound which allowed him to run longer in the race and he assumed the lead on lap 16. 'We need one of those amazing races from you,' said his engineer, Will Joseph. Norris relinquished the lead on lap 29 when he eventually stopped. His second stint on the medium tyres lasted only 16 laps and he when he rejoined the track after his second stop, Piastri was 4.2 seconds up the road. With 11 laps to go, Norris had reduced the deficit to less than a second, and after a few nibbles, he launched his McLaren underneath Piastri at the hairpin. Russell. Verstappen. Antonelli 👏 After all that late-race drama, here's your top 🔟 in Canada 👇 #F1 #CanadianGP — Formula 1 (@F1) June 15, 2025 Norris made the move stick only for Piastri to draw back alongside him as they headed to the final chicane. Piastri held the inside line ahead of Norris to take back the position. Advertisement Norris sensed another opportunity on the run down to the first corner but he thudded into his team-mate to deal a blow to his championship hopes. Russell's win, his first since Las Vegas in November, takes him to within 62 points of Piastri. 'It is amazing to be back on the top step,' Russell said. 'We took the victory following an incredible pole lap (on Saturday).'

Bryan Mbeumo responds to transfer speculation after Man United transfer bid
Bryan Mbeumo has spoken publicly for the first time since Manchester United and Tottenham launched their battle for his signature. The 25-year-old appears to be on his way out of Brentford after an outstanding season in which he scored 20 goals for the west London club. Manchester United have seen a first offer rejected, in the region of £45m with £10m in add-ons, and Spurs have stepped up their interest after hiring ex-Brentford boss Thomas Frank to replace the sacked Ange Postecoglou. Speaking to Sky Sports at the Canadian Grand Prix, Mbeumo said: 'It (transfer speculation) is a bit new for me I would say! I think it can be the life of a footballer and you need to accept it. 'It's been my best season so far in the Premier League. And even collectively, I think we did play very good games. I think we've been unlucky to chase the Europe spot, but I think it's been a fantastic season.' United are reported to be preparing a second bid and believe they have the edge over Spurs in the race to lure Mbeumo. But Spurs now have Frank in their corner – as well as Champions League football after beating United in the Europa League final – and Mbeumo lauded his former manager's talents. 'He's done so much for me, he literally trusted me from the start. I think he developed the team so well. He developed me as a human and a player as well. So I can only wish him all the best, and I'm sure he's going to do well. 'I think he knows everything. He's really smart. He knows where he wants to bring the team, how he wants to play. I think he's been fantastic for Brentford. I think he's going to [need] some time to adapt, obviously: [Champions League] games, more expectations, but I'm sure he's going to do well. 'He knows how to talk to people. He knows how to build a group. And that's why we've been playing so well.'

Hamilton devastated after running over groundhog
Lewis Hamilton says he is devastated after running over a groundhog during Sunday's Canadian Grand Ferrari driver hit the rodent during the 13th lap of the race in Montreal, leaving a hole in the floor of his SF-25 40-year-old ended up finishing sixth, with his team estimating that the damage cost Hamilton about half-a-second per lap for the remainder of the race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. But the seven-time world champion, a vegan and well-known animal lover, was more concerned with the "horrible" death of the groundhog. "It was feeling pretty decent up until then. And then, I didn't see it happen, but obviously I heard I hit a groundhog," said Hamilton."So that's devastating. I love animals, and I'm so sad about it. That's horrible. That's never happened to me here before."It's never nice to see that - I just hope it didn't suffer."Groundhogs, a type of large ground squirrel native to North America, are commonplace around the track in Montreal, which is on an artificial island in the Saint Lawrence River. Mercedes driver George Russell took victory in Montreal from pole to win his first race of the season, with reigning champion Max Verstappen second.
