Welcome back to another look at the wide world of
#OilCountry
social media! This week, we launch our annual campaign in support of mental health, see what some of the Oilers got up to on their day off in D.C., highlight some of the top GIF moments from this past week's action, and give some well-deserved stick-taps to a hardcore fan.

#HOCKEYTALKS
One of our most important campaigns of the season launched this past week, as we bring mental health to the forefront with our annual
#HockeyTalks
awareness drive. Leading up to and during the March 10 game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, we'll be sharing mental health facts and PSAs to bring as much awareness as we can to this cause. Also during the game against the Penguins, the

will be selling limited-edition signed pucks in support of
CASA Foundation

ON THE ROAD AGAIN
The Oilers are currently on their longest road trip of the season, which means the occasional opportunity to explore the area in which they're staying. The fellas got that opportunity on Thursday with an off-day in Washington, D.C. A few of the young guns, Laurent Brossoit, Drake Caggiula, Matt Benning, Jujhar Khaira and Anton Slepyshev, rented bikes and cruised around the National Mall, which is home to The White House, Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and other famous landmarks. Eric Gryba used his free time to brush up on his bow shooting skills, and he also caught a glimpse of President Donald Trump's motorcade heading through the streets of the U.S. capital city.

GIFS OF THE WEEK
With big wins over the Chicago Blackhawks and Florida Panthers so far on this lengthy Oilers road trip, we've had no shortage of highlights to share with you via GIFs! This week's top picks belong to Kris Russell sniping home the game-winner against the Panthers, Oscar Klefbom blasting home a slap-shot earlier in the game, Milan Lucic lighting the lamp for the GWG in Chicago and Matt Benning bringing the noise on Tanner Kero.
