Should the Oilers complete their Stanley Cup Finals comeback on Monday night against the Florida Panthers, a local pizza company has pledged '30,000 free pizzas' to the people of Edmonton.
Boston Pizza, which has no connection to the city where the Bruins and Celtics play, has promised to unload around 240,000 slices of pizza to the people of Alberta if Edmonton wins its fourth straight game over the Panthers.
The prospect of the Oilers lifting the Stanley Cup looked bleak a little over a week ago after losing Game 3 of the NHL's championship series at home to Florida.
Needing a win to not get swept out of the Stanley Cup Final, Edmonton won 8-1 and has looked every bit the part of a title team since.
If the Oilers finish the job, Boston Pizza has proclaimed it will 'make it rain pizzas in Oil Country and across Canada on parade day,' a company media release stated.
The Edmonton Oilers are one game away from winning the Stanley Cup and a ton of pizza
'Canadians heard our calls to cheer for Canada and rallied behind us,' said Boston Pizza executive Peter Blackwell.
'While some refused to toss their allegiances aside, many chose to join the excitement and cheer on Canada’s last standing team. That calls for a celebration ... and lots of pizza,' Blackwell continued.
The company's release Edmonton should expect '"should remain on the lookout for the biggest pizza delivery in history,' should a Game 7 victory occur on Monday night.
This is the closest a Canadian team has come to winning the Stanley Cup since 2011, when the Vancouver Canucks lost in their own Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals to the Bruins.
Edmonton has not been one game away from winning the Stanley Cup since 2006, when it lost a Game 7 of a Stanley Cup Final to the Carolina Hurricanes.
A Canadian team has not won the Stanley Cup since 1993, when the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Los Angeles Kings in the championship series.
