GDT: WCQF - Game #4: Oilers stay in L.A. & Play on Mother’s Day. | 8pm MT | TBS, CBC, SN, TVAS, BSW

[Ginger Papa]

So tonight I was considering a Song Parody and going through Memes & GIF’s and I decided to go simple and sentimental.

Around the World today we are celebrating our Mothers. In my life’s experience I have learned that although there is the traditional figure of Motherhood, there are others such as:

• Single Fathers serving both roles
• Grandparents raising their grandchildren
• An Older Sibling raising a Younger one

I find this Day to be one of humbling perspective, when we focus even more than usual on the sacrifices that our ‘Mother’ has made.

To pivot this into our Team, I think that although we’re up 2-1 and have a couple of convincing wins in a row - I’m hoping our Boys are staying humble and remembering what got them here. That they remain focused on the conviction needed and do not take anything for granted.

I have faith in this Coaching Staff to keep the Team aware and prepared.

May our Boys win one for their Mother’s tonight.

And to everyone on HF Oilers who identifies as Mother - I hope you have a wonderful day

My favourite picture for Mother's Day:

GDT’s

 

[Da McBomb]

And Ben's gonna be in the building. Win one for Ben and for mom!

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Huge game. Win, and you have a chokehold on the series. Lose, and it's back to square one.

 

[Oilhawks]

Big game, but not the end of the series / world if they split. Would still have around a 60% chance to take the series.

Let's go boys,fired up for another night of playoff hockey. Play a solid game and we can go to Edmonton with a chance to win the series on home ice.

 

[780il]

Beautiful words op, happy Mother’s Day everyone.
And a special shoutout to those who can’t be with their moms today for whatever reason. Been hard being away from family all year but we move.

…oh and just f***ing win boys let’s go

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Game 4. I want the Oil to keep on truck'in, a chance to end this series on home ice would be sweet.
I'll do my part and get up at stupid o'clock, hope the boys do their part.

Go Oilers!

Go Oilers!

Stupid o’clock is a great time for hockey! (And so was last night when the Flames lost).

 

[McSuper]

Lames lose . Johnny blow his breakaway chance late in the game . Calgary scoring only 3 goals in 3 playoffs games and giving 6 goals . Their great D is match ours goal for goal and their fans with 101 excuses . Only thing left to do is win tonight so we can live in Crying Johnny and his fans heads rent free .

Happy Mothers day to all moms . They always stood by us even when we failed or made big mistakes and always forgave us even when we talked back . Gods most precious gifts are moms .

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Boys will have extra juice with our boy Ben in the building tonight. Can't wait.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

I love 'The Crow'...underrated movie. One of my favorite lines from the movie.

 

[McDrai]

C'mon Oilers. Win for my mom!

Edit: I'm wrong

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Happy mother's day, happy Oilers winning day and happy flames lost yesterday day

Let's doooooo this

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Curse these late games. Just go and win it, don't mess around.

 

[48g90a138pts]

The Kings won the first game so they're the Red team in this. So if they split the series tonight it's 60/40 in the Kings favor.

Okay I'm wrong. I found the original article. Team A is seeded higher which is the Oilers. Interesting the article states game 4 is the most important game of the series for us.

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Game 4 Day!!! Get on them early and just put them away. Keep doing what they've been doing

 

[Oilslick941611]

Win for Ben and close out on home ice! 4-2 Oilers


That way we don't have to fly back to L.A

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Was listening to Matt Kassian on 1260, and he brought up the point that the first period onslaught from the Kings in Game 3 is going to be brought for a full 60 tonight. LA is going to be absolutely desperate.

Let's limit shots and suck the life out of that building by scoring first.

 

[VainGretzky]

More goals from the Oilers please, lots more goals

 

[oXo Cube]

Was listening to Matt Kassian on 1260, and he brought up the point that the first period onslaught from the Kings in Game 3 is going to be brought for a full 60 tonight. LA is going to be absolutely desperate.

Let's limit shots and suck the life out of that building by scoring first.

You mean the first period onslaught that led to them going down 2-0 in 5 minutes?

This is what we want. If the Kings get away from their defense first trap style game in an effort to push the pace in our direction, they will lose. It's not what they're good at and not what got them where they are.

If LA wants to win, they need to go back to what they did in game 1. Sit on their hands and frustrate the Oilers for long enough that someone tries something too cute. Problem with this is they need to not get owned on Special teams and they need Quick to be good, two things that they haven't been able to rely on.

"In my life’s experience I have learned that although there is the traditional figure of Motherhood, there are others such as:

• An Older Sibling raising a Younger one"

Yes, they are called Fathers (and Father's Day) and being a surrogate parent (i.e. Grandparent raising a grandchild or older sibling raising a younger one). I tune into these threads to get pumped for the upcoming game, not to confronted with pc language and nonsense. Cripes, I want to hear about hockey not be reminded of the last conversation I had with a 4th wave feminist friend of mine.

As Oilslick said, win for Ben and close out on home ice! I want to see the Oilers continue to abuse the Kings physically, put up points, and win the next two.
