Lauren Kyle McDavid’s Instagram Taunt
After the Edmonton Oilers’ 6-1 win in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, Lauren Kyle McDavid, wife of star player Connor McDavid, posted a subtle taunt on Instagram directed at the Florida Panthers. She shared a screenshot explaining why Alberta is rat-free, referencing the Panthers’ unofficial mascot, the rat, which has been part of the team’s culture since a player famously killed one in 1995. While attending a bachelorette party in Greece, Kyle McDavid’s post resonated with the ongoing rivalry and the tradition of fans throwing plastic rats onto the ice.
