Oilers defenseman Eric Gryba is taking his club's second-round series with the Anaheim Ducks personally. Extremely personally.

Ahead of Edmonton's Game 7 versus the Ducks on Wednesday night, Gryba cooked himself up an actual duck for dinner Monday.

What the duck?

Gryba, a noted outdoor enthusiast, often fishes, hunts, and cooks. He even has his own hashtag - #grillingwithgryba. This type of dinner menu shouldn't come as a surprise for those who follow him on social media.

The only thing that would have made this more ironic was if Gryba deep fried the duck in oil, rather than barbecuing it with a beer can shoved into its nether regions.

Game 6 was Gryba's first appearance of the series, logging 13:28 with six hits. The hulking D-man should get another chance to feast come Game 7.
