There&#8217;s no place like home and the Edmonton Oilers are cementing that idea with a little home decorating on the ice of Rogers Place.

On Wednesday, the team shared on social media that they&#8217;ve added oil drops down the center line and between the on-ice logo.

In the past, the Oilers would use different shapes like a diamond, or inside Rexall Place, they used a triangular box on the center line. This seems to be a new trend among NHL teams as the Calgary Flames also added a unique design to theirs by adding the teams&#8217; crest through the middle of the red center line.
Oilers fans in general seem to be in love with the small addition and feel like it&#8217;s a good omen for the 2023-2024 season. Multiple comments on the Oilersnation Instagram post of the oil drops say &#8220;This is our year&#8221; or &#8220;That&#8217;s pretty cool, next up 2023-24 Stanley Cup Champions.&#8221;
It&#8217;s the small things that can get fans who are eagerly awaiting for the new season to begin fired up.
The Oilers are set to <a href="https://oilersnation.com/news/edmonton-oilers-captain-connor-mcdavid-mum-on-future-contract-extension-but-committed-to-seeing-through-stanley-cup-victory">return to Edmonton on September 5th for the captain&#8217;s skate.</a> Connor McDavid in a recent interview with Sportsnet&#8217;s Mark Spector mentioned they wanted to be &#8220;a little bit more organized in our Captain’s skates. Just to make sure that it&#8217;s a productive month and we can hit the ground running.”
McDavid says that it was a group decision for the players to return earlier than usual from the off-season, not just one guy telling everyone to do something. The team&#8217;s desire to win the Stanley Cup and bounce back from an early playoff exit last season is at an all-time high. Leon Draisaitl said it best, &#8220;it&#8217;s Cup or bust&#8221;.
That feeling is mutual between the fans and players. There&#8217;s no better opportunity than right now for this team to deliver a Stanley Cup and parade with it over the oil drops that now present themselves inside Rogers Place on the center red-line.
