'The house is just booming': Oilers fan from Inuvik, N.W.T., shares her family's excitement ahead of game 4

For hockey fans, particularly those who support the Edmonton Oilers, Monday night is a make or break moment.

It's Game 4 of the NHL western conference finals between the Edmonton Oilers and te Colorado Avalanche. Colorado leads the series three to zero, meaning if they win again tonight, the Oilers will be out of the playoffs.

Anna Pingo, an Edmonton Oilers fan who lives in Inuvik, N.W.T., says she's "quite anxious and excited" for the game.

"We're hoping that they come out with a win. We'll be sending positive vibes," she said.

The excitement has been building in her home where the whole family cheer on the Oilers.

"I tell you, the house is just booming," she said of previous games they watch together.

"We're all yelling and screaming or we're all getting mad because they're losing," she said.

Tonight, the family will be getting geared up once again to watch their favourite team.

"We're getting all our gear on, our regalia to represent the Oilers."

Pingo said she's been an Oilers fan since she was a young girl and had the chance to meet famous hockey players at the time, including Wayne Gretzky. Her grandmother lived in Edmonton and her uncle used to work at Edmonton's old hockey arena.

"He was able to take myself, my brother Roy and my sister Evelyn to a Canada-USA game. We got to meet a lot of the hockey players then and Gretzky was one of them," Pingo said. "Since we got to go to the Canada-USA game, we've been always fans of the Edmonton Oilers."

As an adult, she's gone down to Alberta "many times" to see the team play with her husband who also happens to be a big fan.

"I lucked out and I ended up marrying a man who's a really big Oilers fan too. So we just go all out when it comes to Edmonton oil," Pingo said.
