OKAY. OKAY. OKAY.
I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START.
THE Edmonton Oilers LOSE AGAIN.
THE Long Island Islanders ARE UP 3–0 IN THE SERIES.
AND THE GUY WHO BEAT YOU?
JEAN. SÉBASTIEN. GIGUČRE.
THREE DOUBLES?!?! THREE?!?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!
😳 FIRST OF ALL… HOW DOES THIS EVEN HAPPEN?!
This wasn’t even like a total collapse game.
This was worse.
This was:
Tie game
Back and forth
You THINK Edmonton might finally steal one
AND THEN…
GIGUČRE JUST DECIDES: “NO.”
🚨 THE GIGUČRE GAME (A.K.A. THE DOUBLE APOCALYPSE)
Let’s go through this:
3rd inning → DOUBLE
7th inning → DOUBLE (drives in a run!)
9th inning → DOUBLE. AGAIN. GAME-WINNER.
HE TIED A PLAYOFF RECORD.
THREE DOUBLES IN A GAME.
YOU KNOW HOW HARD THAT IS?!
Most teams don’t get three doubles in a GAME.
This guy did it HIMSELF. 😭
😤 AND EDMONTON… AGAIN…
You actually did some things right!
You tied it multiple times
You battled back
You didn’t roll over
BUT WHEN IT MATTERS MOST?
Emanuel Romo… buddy…
Top 9:
Bernabel double
Then Gigučre comes up
AND EVERYONE IN THE BUILDING KNOWS WHAT’S COMING.
DOUBLE. DOWN THE LINE. GAME OVER.
YOU LET THE SAME GUY KILL YOU
FOR THE THIRD TIME IN THE SAME GAME!!!
😡 ALSO—CAN WE TALK ABOUT JACK BAUER?!
Homer
THREE WALKS
On base ALL NIGHT
This guy is basically playing a different sport than everyone else.
😬 SERIES REALITY CHECK
This isn’t just a loss.
This is:
3–0 Islanders
Oilers on the brink
Confidence? GONE
Answers? NONE
And now you gotta win FOUR STRAIGHT?!
FOUR?!?! AGAINST THIS TEAM?!?!
🔥 STEVE DANGLE FINAL THOUGHT:
The Islanders aren’t just winning…
They’re doing it in different ways every game.
Blowout
Comeback
Tight clutch win
And now?
Your best player tonight is a guy hitting NOTHING but doubles like he’s playing MLB The Show on rookie difficulty.
😱 FINAL SCREAM:
THREE DOUBLES!!!
THREE!!!
AND THE LAST ONE ENDS YOUR SEASON (basically)!!!
Game 4 is coming…
…but unless something DRASTIC changes?
🧹🧹🧹 SWEEP WATCH IS ON.
