Movie Star Gives a Shoutout to Oilers Devon Levi

Devon Levi referenced the movie Gladiator after Saturday's shutout win, and the star of that film noticed. When a video of Levi touching the ice sparked a question from the media, Levi said he started doing it at the start of the year to feel the cold on his bare hand and lock in. When asked what prompted him to start that, he said it was a scene in the film where Russell Crowe's character picks up the sand and feels it. Levi thought that was kind of cool, so he put his own spin on it. 

Crowe must have been notified of the interview and shared it on X, with the tag "Strength and Honour young man. Devon Levi from the Edmonton Oilers."

One fan wrote, "I’m guessing Devon didn’t have a shoutout from a Hollywood icon on his bingo card for his weekend? So cool!!!" ANother said, "Edmonton’s crease is officially blessed by Maximus. League is on notice!!!"
