Another day, another absolute barn burner by the Edmonton Oilers; these boys came to cook! Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman were on full fire emoji mode, both netting two goals each like it was light work. Evan Bouchard kicked things off with a missile, and Ryan Nugent Hopkins and Evander Kane? Whew, they were just out there sprinkling assists like fairy dust; three each! Stuart Skinner held it down in goal like a wall with a glove, swatting away 33 shots like, ‘not today, Stars.’ Poor Oettinger and his crew just couldn’t keep up.

Even with Jason Robertson sneaking one through and Dallas outshooting Edmonton in the second, McDavid was like, ‘nah, we’re still up,’ and popped another in before the buzzer. But wait, it didn’t just end with the scoreboard looking like a video game. Nope, the vibes went straight-up magical when the final horn blew. Rogers Place turned into a glitter disco dream as the whole crowd belted out Pink Pony Club like it was some hockey fairytale. You’ve got 6 goals on the ice, Edmonton Oilers magic in the air, and fans singing their hearts out like it’s a Broadway finale. But why?

Preston Hodgkinson, the Edmonton Oilers insider over at @OffsideCAN, jumped on X to drop an absolute gem of a video. Yep, that electric Rogers Place moment where the whole squad of 18,000 fans turned the rink into a glittery karaoke dream. He posted the clip of the vibe overload and threw in a caption that pretty much summed up the chills everyone felt: “18,000 strong belting out “PINK PONY CLUB” after an #Oilers playoff victory is something I’ll never forget. This afternoon crowd had the JUICE today.” Like, forget just hockey; this was a full-on Broadway-on-ice moment, with the fans pouring their souls into every note.

Word on the rink, straight from a juicy April report is that the Edmonton Oilers are not out here just pressing shuffle when it comes to their playoff victory jams. For years, fans have danced in sync with La Bamba after every win, a song that means a lot more than just good vibes. It was Joey Moss’ fave, the heart and soul of the Oilers’ dressing room, and ever since he passed in 2020, the boys have kept his spirit alive by cranking that tune after every dub. But lately? There’s a sparkly new banger in the mix. Thanks to 880 CHED’s Brenden Escott, it’s now out there that Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan has been absolutely blasting through the Oilers’ locker room after back-to-back playoff wins, and honestly? It’s giving glitter, chaos, and hockey magic.

Offside even backed it up, confirming this glam-pop anthem has officially joined the post-win party playlist. Yup, Chappell Roan, who literally snatched a Grammy for Best New Artist and dropped the dreamy The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. It’s a wild pivot from the usual pump-up arena rock, but it’s totally working. If they keep on winning? West Hollywood better clear the floor, because McDavid and the crew are riding this pony all the way to the Cup. But is this the Edmonton Oilers’ good luck charm?

Edmonton Oilers and their lucky charm song!

If you were lurking on the NHL Edmonton Oilers subreddit the other day (as one does when the vibes are high), you probably caught that screenshot floating around. Yup, a spicy little tweet from Brenden Escott spilled the tea: “In case you’ve ever wondered what the #Oilers are playing in the room after a win these days, Chappell Roan’s Pink Pony Club is blaring for a second straight game.”

And let me tell you, fans were so here for it. Like, even the ones who didn’t vibe with the sparkly synth-pop bop were all in. One fan said, “The song is not for me. BUT, if the Oilers are playing it after a win, you bet your ass I’m blasting it too!” and another chimed in with a poetic rally cry: “If we make it to the final, she should perform at Festival at the Final. It would only be poetic!” I mean, can you imagine the glitter, the chaos, the Cup vibes?

Sure, Los Lobos’ “La Bamba” still echoes through Rogers Place with all its soul and legacy, especially tied to the heartwarming memory of Joey Moss. That one’s timeless. But now, it seems like the Oilers’ locker room has a fresh anthem (an unexpected one) and it’s got sequins, sass, and a whole lotta swagger. Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” may not have been on anyone’s 2025 bingo card, but hey, hockey gods work in mysterious (and fabulous) ways. And if it’s bringing the dubs? You know Oil Country is gonna keep dancing to the beat of that pink pony magic and it might just be that lucky charm!
