The wife of Connor McDavid, Lauren Kyle, recently took to social media to take shots at Panthers fans by saying there are no rat problems in Alberta.

Connor McDavid's wife is giving some fuel to feed the fire in the hot Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers.

After a wild Game 3 with 140 combined penalty minutes and eight ejections, Lauren Kyle McDavid took a cheeky swipe at the Panthers on Instagram.

While Florida fans have embraced the rat as an unofficial team mascot, Lauren was quick to point out that the province of Alberta has been rat-free for decades, posting a screenshot of a Google AI summary explaining how the province has kept the province pest-free.

The jab may not have affected Panthers fans too much, given how well the rat imagery fits this specific Florida team.

Guys such as Sam Bennett, Matthew Tkachuk, and especially notorious pest Brad Marchand show the same infuriating, annoying traits. They've enraged the Oilers with their junk and melodramatic actions all series long.

Lauren is currently in Greece for Leon Draisaitl's fiancée's bachelorette party

Lauren has yet to attend any of the Stanley Cup Final games, having traveled with a few of the Oilers wives and girlfriends (WAGs) to Greece for Celeste Desjardins' bachelorette party.

Desjardins is the bride-to-be of Oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl. But with the vacation seeming to have ended, they may head back to Edmonton for Saturday night's Game 5.

She and the rest of Alberta Oil Country will be praying her impertinent remark rings true, and the Panthers' 'rats' do not make an appearance in Alberta.
