An Edmonton Oilers fan went viral during the team's run to the Stanley Cup Final after flashing to the crowd during a game of 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 the Lord Stanley Cup to Canada.

However, the mystery of the woman's identity remained in the days that followed. The Barstool Sports podcast “Spittin' Chiclets” tracked down the woman, who only revealed her identity as Kait. On Monday, before the team faced the Florida Panthers in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final, she had a message for those who criticized her for the cheeky moment.

“I thought a lot about what I wanted to say to everyone… I just wanted to say that you could be the most perfect, pious person in the world. You could save the kittens from the river if they were drowning.” “Someone will still hate you,” Kait said.

“So you know what? I got drunk and took my shirts off at an Oilers game, and they went viral? Fuck you if you don't like it. Wow! Let's go Oilers!”

Kate said on the Barstool Sports podcast that she had about eight really hard seltzers and a handful of Cheezies before she decided to show off to the crowd.

“It wasn't planned or anything… and yeah, it just happened,” he said.

The Oilers have since reached the Stanley Cup Final, but are one game away from elimination.
