Hosting an Oilers Playoff Night in Edmonton
When the Oilers are on a playoff run, this city feels it. Living rooms become arenas, neighbours become teammates, and the only thing that can ruin the mood is running dry in the middle of a tight third period. Here is how to host without that risk.
Stock before puck drop
The single best move is to over-prepare before the game starts. Call 403-559-6928 ahead of time and have everything arrive cold as your guests show up. Once the puck drops, nobody wants to be the one who left for beer and missed the goal everyone is still talking about.
How much for a playoff crowd
Playoff games run long — overtime is always on the table. Plan generously: roughly four drinks per person across a potential three-plus hours, and more if the game goes to extra time. For eight people, think two cases plus a backup bottle of spirits and mix.
The playoff spread
- A big domestic case as the base — the reliable crowd-pleaser.
- Imports and local craft for variety as the night goes on.
- A bottle of rye or vodka plus mix for the highball drinkers.
- Non-alcoholic options for the designated drivers — and there should be designated drivers.
Intermission insurance
If the game is close and the fridge is thinning, the first intermission is your window. Call then and a delivery can land before the third period. We run around the clock across Edmonton and the metro, so even a late puck drop is covered.
Keep it safe, keep it home
The best playoff nights end with everyone getting home safely. Delivery means no mid-game store runs and no one driving who has been drinking. Have IDs ready — every delivery is verified 18+ at the door.
