The Edmonton Oilers Are So Cooked That Their Own Fans Are Even Cheering For Panthers Goals Now
The fine folk of Edmonton have shit to do. They don't live a life of glitz and glamor like the Yacht Club in Toronto. They are blue collar, hard working people. Time is precious to them. So the last thing they want are these shithead Oilers completely wasting their time by making them think they have a chicken's dick chance of actually winning the Cup. They don't. This series is over. The most honorable thing they can do right now is to sit back and get steamrolled in game 4 so the people of Edmonton don't have to waste anymore time beyond Sunday.
This lady gets it.
An electric anthem to get things going before game 3. Edmonton was on fire. That barn was rocking. And here comes Sam Reinhart to silence 18,000 Oilers fans with the first goal of the game right before the end of the 1st period. Or at least silencing 17,999 Oilers fans as this lady couldn't be more fired up about the tuck.
As Chief said, she was celebrating like she just put a paycheck on Reinhart first goal scorer #DKPartner.
Or maybe she just knows this brings everyone closer to the inevitable. The sooner this series is over with, the sooner everyone can move on with their lives in Edmonton. Would a vintage McDavid goal get her buzzing? I'm sure. But what good is that actually going to do when this series is already over? They're just dragging it out at that point. So she's all in on the Cats.
Especially if she knows ball and is just a fan of some great hockey. Because that shift out of Barkov was a masterclass.
Swipes the puck off of Bouchard on the blueline. Beats him to the loose puck. Bullies Bouchard off of him as he enters the zone, finds an open Forsling, and the puck is in the back of the net a second later. Draisaitl probably should have finished the job when he had the chance…
