Which is more surprising: that the basement-dwelling Edmonton Oilers smashed the Colorado Avalanche 8-2 Thursday night, or that Taylor Hall turned Rexall Place into a Jonas Brothers concert circa 2009?

One Oilers fan was so enthralled by Hall’s fourth career three-goal night, she went full Mardi Gras and launched a bra onto the ice in celebration:

Hall would add an assist for a four-point night. Fun fact: All four of Hall’s hatties have occurred on home ice. Probably because the fans of the enemy don’t tend to offer up undergarments.

“It’s always a fun night when you get a hat trick, but for us to win in the fashion that we did gives us some confidence,” Hall told reporters. “This home stand could prove to be big for us.”

And big for Hall’s Olympic aspirations.
