As the Edmonton Oilers advance to the Western Conference Final, fans across the hockey world are hopping onto the bandwagon. Among the recent converts is none other than comedian Tim Meadows, known for his roles in shows like “Brooklyn 99” and “I Think You Should Leave” 1. The 63-year-old funnyman proudly declared his allegiance to the Oilers, donning their jersey and even vowing not to shave until they win the Stanley Cup.
But what about those of us who haven’t been following the Oilers all season? Is it too late to jump on the bandwagon? Let’s explore:

- The Latecomer’s Dilemma
- You might wonder if it’s acceptable to join the Oilers fan base now. After all, some die-hard fans have been cheering for the team since the early ‘80s 2. But fear not! Fandom isn’t about tenure; it’s about passion. If you’re genuinely excited about the Oilers’ playoff run, you’re welcome aboard.
- The Tim Meadows Effect
- Tim Meadows isn’t the only celebrity embracing the Oilers. While the LA Kings had Will Ferrell in Round 1 and Vancouver saw Nathan Fielder and Owen Wilson in the stands during the second round, the Oilers haven’t had as much A-list love 1. So, joining the bandwagon now isn’t just acceptable—it’s trendy!
- Room on the Wagon
- The Oilers haven’t reached the Stanley Cup Final in almost 20 years, so there’s plenty of room for new fans. Whether you’re drawn to Connor McDavid’s magic or the team’s resilience, you’re not alone. Plus, you’ll have company in Tim Meadows and other converts.
- Beard Goals
- Inspired by Meadows, consider growing a playoff beard. It’s a tradition among hockey fans, and you’ll fit right in with the Oilers faithful. Who knows? Maybe your beard will bring them luck!
In conclusion, it’s never too late to jump on the Oilers bandwagon. So grab your jersey, grow that beard, and cheer for McDavid and company as they chase the Cup. Welcome to the orange and blue side! 🏒🧡💙
