OH MY GOODNESS!!! WHAT WAS THAT GAME?!?!?!
I MEAN SERIOUSLY—WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?!?!
The Edmonton Oilers score NINE RUNS! NINE!! You get TWO HOME RUNS from Yamada, you’re up 4–0 right outta the gate, you’re cruising, you’re feeling great, you’re thinking “Game 4? We got this! We’re going up 3–1!”
AND YOU LOSE?!?!
You LOSE 11–9 to the Colorado Avalanche?!?!
OH, STOP IT!!! STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!!
This game—this GAME—was a DISGRACE defensively! Nobody could get anybody out! It’s like batting practice at Ball Arena! You got 20 runs, 30 hits, balls flying all over the place—what is this, Coors Field in July?!
And don’t even get me STARTED on the Oilers bullpen…
E. ROMO—WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?! You come in, eighth inning, game on the line, you got a lead… and BOOM! You blow it! Walks, hits, chaos—Webster rips the double, TWO RUNS SCORE, game flipped upside down!
That’s a playoff game! You gotta LOCK THAT DOWN! LOCK IT DOWN!!
And Colorado—give ‘em credit, I’ll give ‘em credit—they FOUGHT. They scratched, they clawed, they stayed in it the whole way.
Cale Makar—ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! TWO HOME RUNS, FOUR RUNS SCORED—he’s everywhere! He’s basically running the show out there! He was the best player on the ice, the field, the planet—whatever you wanna call it!!
And MacKinnon too! Three hits, three RBIs—big hits, clutch hits—this lineup did NOT go away!
But the moment of the game? Oh you KNOW it…
JIM WEBSTER IN THE 8TH!!! Down 9–8—game slipping away—and he lines that DOUBLE into the gap! TWO RUNS! Crowd goes nuts, Avalanche take the lead—THAT’S YOUR SEASON RIGHT THERE!!
That’s guts! That’s playoff hockey—uh, baseball—WHATEVER THIS IS!!!
And then Zarate comes in, shuts it down, goodnight Irene!
Now the series? 2–2. BRAND NEW SERIES! Best of three!
And let me tell you something—if I’m Edmonton? I’m SICK to my stomach! You had this game! You HAD IT! And you let it slip right through your fingers!
Colorado? They got the momentum, the crowd, the energy—everything!
Game 5 in Edmonton?? OH BABY!!!
You thought this series was over? NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!
