On Thursday night, Connor McDavid may have delivered a thrilling finish to the Oilers’ second-round playoff series, but it seems some of the internet’s attention was directed elsewhere.
It’s hard to distract from all the action taking place on the ice, but the four Flames fans sitting behind the Oilers bench were able to do so tonight.
Throughout the movement back and forth, the Battle of Alberta audience could not help but notice a number of blondes dressed in rodeos, behind Edmonton coach Jay Woodcroft.
Take a glance at them below:

This game is nuts, I’m gonna need a constant view of the oilers bench to see Woodcrofts reaction and that is the only reason nothing else especially not 6 other reasons. #BattleOfAlberta

It seems the Oilers didn’t find the models’ presence a distraction, as McDavid put the game away in overtime with the game-winning goal.
The Oilers will face the winner of the Colorado Avalanche and St. Louis Blues series, with their Game 6 getting underway Friday night. The Avalanche currently leads the series, 3-2.
