The Edmonton Oilers are in some deep trouble in the playoffs.
The Edmonton Oilers are down 2-1 in their Western Conference second-round series against the Vancouver Canucks.
While facing off against the team in Game 3 at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, one fan showed up to support the team and ended up stealing the show.
Behind the Edmonton Oilers bench was an attractive woman rocking a team-colored inspired orange shirt that was so low cut that male fans couldn’t help but notice. She was spotted seated right behind the Oilers bench as head coach Kris Knoblauch was calling the game.
Social media quickly stopped paying attention to the game as they could not keep their eyes on that one female fan:

The Oilers have some significant issues going on after what happened over the weekend.
The Edmonton Oilers’ goaltending situation is under scrutiny for the second straight playoffs after goalkeeper Stuart Skinner was benched during the second period of a 4-3 loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday.
Calvin Pickard entered the game at the start of the third quarter, replacing Skinner, who had started every game during these playoffs. After giving up four goals on fifteen shots in Game 3, which saw the Canucks grab a 2-1 series lead in the Western Conference semifinals, Skinner was taken off the ice.
“Yes, we need more saves,” Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said, per ESPN. “Tonight, obviously, I felt like that with Picks going in the third period, but defense, along with goaltending, is very important to winning hockey games. Especially in the long term. Yeah, it’s got to be better.”
ESPN reports that in the Oilers’ 12 postseason games, Skinner was pulled four times, with three of those early departures occurring in a series loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, who went on to win the Stanley Cup.
Last season, Skinner made his hometown team’s goalie of choice as a rookie after winning 29 games and recording a.914 save percentage.
