Around Edmonton, everyone is getting into the Edmonton Oilers<\/a> playoff spirit, whether it\u2019s through car flags, pet bandanas or home displays. But for one Oilers fan, parts of his shrine were stolen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When the Oilers playoffs come around each year, Warren Sillanpaa gets to work. For four years straight, he has been building a shrine to the team in his front yard and on his fence. It features Oilers jerseys, a custom oil derrick and signatures from fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese flags here, they\u2019re on all these poles. I think 11, we got two left. We had a couple on the house, and a couple on the poles. The flags were a really good element cause they add animation, liven the place up, because everything else is pretty static,\u201d said Sillanpaa.<\/p>\n
