Lauren Kyle, Connor McDavid's wife, spared no expense when it came to throwing some shade at the Florida Panthers, who suffered an OT loss to the Edmonton Oilers.
Who says rivalries are for players only? Lauren Kyle, who's Connor McDavid's beloved wife, has gotten in a chirp at the Panthers.
She'd reference Game 3 in Edmonton, where the Oilers would be blown out by five goals by the
Panthers.
In a foreshadowing of Game 4, she'd not only throw shade at the Panthers but make a custom shirt that has a funny, albeit sly, reference to
Brad Marchand and the Panthers.
Known for their rat mascot, which fans of the team have thrown on the ice during significant victories.
The shirt says "Rat Free", which, coincidentally, is truthful, as Alberta has a program that controls rats in the Province.
While the Oilers have
Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid to control Brad Marchand on the ice.
In an ironic fashion, some of the Panthers' best teams are "rats", aka agitators, who can score goals and provide some physicality on the ice, in
Matthew Tkachuk, Brad Marchand, and
Sam Bennett.
They've done their best to get under the skin of the Oilers, but the team has fought back against the flopping, to even the series 2-2 after Game 4.
While the Oilers wags are in Greece for Mrs. Draisaitl to be, Celeste Desjardins, Kyle, of course, joined them and has yet to make it to a Stanley Cup final game.
Maybe she should make it a point while wearing the shirt to agitate Brad Marchand?
