It said hardcore hockey lovers, new Oilers fans, and Edmontonians should remain on the lookout for the largest pizza delivery in history on parade day.

Skinner followed up by saying the game plan is hard to say. “I think it just comes down to little details and doing the right thing, especially at the right times,” he said. “And I think we’ve had guys really step up at the big moments — whether that’s a very minimal thing like a stick on a puck or you know stick checking a guy or whatever that may be.”
