#BRICKBESTSEATS

We launched a brand new contest this week with our partner Fed Ex , as they’re going to deliver a truck full of awesomeness (TV, pizza, gear) to one lucky fan’s house for the Saturday, March 26 road game against the Los Angeles Kings. Anyone in Canada (excluding Quebec) can enter and it’s as easy as telling us who you’d invite to your party by using the #FedExGameReady hashtag!

GIFS OF THE WEEK

Oilers fans across Alberta are flocking to Edmonton area The Brick stores to snap their photos and enter the #BrickBestSeats contest! We’ve named three winners thus far who have received VIP game night experiences and $1,000 to spend at The Brick, with two more to go. We’ll also pick a grand prize winner who will attend the final Oilers game at Rexall Place and receive $5,000 to spend at The Brick.

OIL COUNTRY SPOTLIGHT

The Oilers are enjoying a modest two-game win streak right now thanks to home victories over the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday and Vancouver Canucks on Friday! Cam Talbot continues to be outstanding between the pipes, and he received some well deserved #HendyHugs after the St. Louis game. And speaking of Matt Hendricks, the veteran provided the insurance marker last night, executing an awesome double fist-pump celebration from his knees.

This week’s fan spotlight comes from a priceless in-game moment last night against the Canucks. A young Oilers fan was shown on the big screen with a sign that said, “Talbot, I’ll trade my little brother for your goalie stick.” Moments after securing his 40-save shutout, the goalie skated over and made the boy’s wish come true! And he didn’t even have to sacrifice his sibling!Get your photos into our spotlight by including @edmontonoilers in your tweets and Instagram posts, or posting them on our Facebook page
