GDT: WCQ #4 • "THE QUEST FOR GREASE" • OILERS @ BLACKHAWKS • AUG 7 2020 • 4:45 PM MT • SN

[GMofOilers]

Such a huge day of hockey. All 6 games are elimination games! Crazy.

 

[StupidGenius]

 

[NeverForget06]

I can't help but laugh at some people who are complaining about us deserving a spot in the round of 16...

I mean sure, maybe there is an argument that we did statistically, but with the way this team has played we have looked like the 12 seed more than the 5 seed

 

[FlameChampion]

He's winning isn't he? Better in the veteran been there done that sense.

Theyre not winning because of Crawford. I dont think were losing because of Koskinen either. Overall goaltending is pretty even in this series (other than the first game).

Chicago is winning because they're playing with a lot more poise and the Oilers honestly havent seemed like their ready to play.

 

[Black Gold Extractor]

btw, I'll be impressed if anyone actually gets what the title and faux-poster refer to.

The Quest for Peace? That was the first Superman movie I saw as a kid... it was, uh, something else.

This was the funniest thing though:



... especially since Reeve no-showed.

Time for the beginning of #50/50watch

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

The shitty part about being a playoff team is that the last game of the season will always be a loss unless we win the cup.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Great gdt, sheahan really triggered you hey? I don’t blame you one bit.

I quickly made this disaster as well so hopefully it brings us good luck. Lets beat them so bad that chiraq burns!

[Oilers Propagandist]

Truth hurts.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Any word on Larsson?

I suppose Nygard will draw in for Ennis, but I wonder if Haas will sub in for any of Khaira, Kassian, Chiasson, or even Sheahan.

Already slow and times out LOL

The title of an episode from some show to the HORRIBLE movie that killed the Superman movie franchise for almost 30 years?

Wow uh.

That’s a way to look at things

 

[oXo Cube]

All of my coworkers who couldn't care any less about hockey are asking me to help them buy tickets for the 50/50

The site is destroyed, of course.

 

[KlefDown]

This game is going to be so hard to watch

I feel sick just thinking about it

 

[Zerotonine]

Edmonton Oilers increase capacity for online 50/50 raffle ahead of Game 4 against Blackhawks

Its going to hit 7 mill today

 

[space321]

Hope I won't regret waking up early for this one

 

[BFDBFD]

Hope I won't regret waking up early for this one

That's why I'm heading out on the town at 10:30 on a Friday night in Bangkok -- with any luck, I'll be in a good enough mood to watch the game at 5:45am!

 

[SourOil]

Oilers are going to CRUSH the Hawks tonight.

They have no idea how much something I have no control over means to me!

2 PP goals incoming.

 

[CupofOil]

I just saw the schedule and that there's SIX!!! elimination games today.
Holy Hockey Overload and Loving It Batman. I don't think I'll be able to watch all of it but I'm going to try my best with the time available to me.

Not much to watch. A little less than $14K in sales so far. Still not enough server capacity.

If the site can't handle the traffic at 9:30 how slow will it be at 4 PM?

Why would the Foundation work with the AGLC to allow for a greater number of ticket sales and not devote the resources to allow people to purchase those tickets?

I'm not shocked so many people missed last time that everyone is going on first thing. With double the tickets available it shouldn't be an issue to get them

I hate to say it, but that’s the Edmonton way lol.

Grandiose expectations with subpar execution.

Chicago is winning because they're playing with a lot more poise and the Oilers honestly havent seemed like their ready to play.

Chicago is winning because they scored one more goal in the third game...

The Oilers have played okay, the Hawks have played okay. It's been a competitive series.

 

[LMFAO]

I'd go with

Neal - McDavid - Archibald
RNH - Drai - Yamamoto
AA - Sheahan - Kassian
Khaira - Haas - Chiasson

But what do I know eh
