The battle for the Stanley Cup between the Chicago Blackhawks and Philadelphia Flyers starts Saturday and the Tulsa Oilers will be giving fans a front row seat during their fifth annual Stanley Cup watch parties, held again this year at River Spirit Casino, located at 81st and Riverside.

“These watch parties have become a big highlight of our off season and it gives fans a chance to win prizes, and talk to our players and Bruce Ramsay about what’s going on with the Oilers,” general manager Taylor Hall said. “River Spirit did a great job with the watch parties last year, and with the changes they’ve made it will be even better this year.”
