Nation Real Life Nation Network

It's a special free agency edition of the Real Life Podcast, and that meant the boys had to get back on the grind and talk about what happened so far on the first day in free agency.
Kicking off the podcast, the guys got started with some of the news and stories they didn't have a chance to get to since the last time everyone was in the same room together. From what they did after Game 7 in Florida to Tyler's hotel room having sewage backing up into the sink, there was a lot to get caught up on after the guys hadn't really done a show together in a while.
Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the boys started by looking back at Ken Holland's tenure as the team's GM and whether it was a successful five-year run by him. As you'll hear, the guys aren't willing to give Holland as much credit as others. Despite the fact that the Oilers just made it to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, no one was saying it was a mission accomplished for Uncle Ken. 
The discussion then turned to what the Oilers did on the first day of free agency: They locked in Viktor Arvidsson to a two-year deal, Corey Perry to a one-year deal, Josh Brown to a three-year deal, and Connor Carrick to a one-year deal. While it was certainly an eventful day, that doesn't mean everyone was totally on board with what happened. Of the moves the Oilers made, it seems like only Arvidsson gets a passing grade from the squad, but it's noteworthy that everyone agrees they're probably not done. 
Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of the Real Life podcast with a few stories from Tyler about what it was like to cover the draft in Las Vegas at the Sphere. According to Tyler, it was beautiful to look at the Sphere, but it was one of those things that would have been better experienced in a different setting than trying to do work while the walls were moving. Needless to say, it was a long stretch on the road for old man Yaremchuk.

It's the first Nation Real Life Podcast since the Edmonton Oilers fell in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final to the Florida Panthers. Wanye, Chalmers, and Liam reminisced on the season that was chatting about their favourite memories with family and friends, as well as the vibes around the city. They talked about the feeling of having the season come to an end and how crazy it is that the new season isn't so far away.
As the show went on, they discussed Connor McDavid's decision not to come out to receive his Conn Smythe Trophy and if he should've or not. That conversation continued into McDavid's wedding this summer as Wanye bragged about the dress that Lauren Kyle, or as he said on the show LK1, will be wearing.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the show with Chalmers' new found love of soccer and some betting for our friends at bet365.

The Oilers went to Florida and came up with a clutch 5-3 road win in Game 5, extending their series for at least one more game, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Thursday episode of Real Life. Now the question becomes whether the boys can do it for a third time and force the Panthers into an elimination game of their own.
The Thursday episode of Real Life kicked off with a hilarious discussion about Chalmers' unique eating habits. He confessed to pairing toast with every meal, showcasing his bizarre yet impressive skill of matching the correct number of pieces of bread with the meal. Chalmers has confessed to a lot of interesting habits on this podcast, but this bread talk was just the latest chapter.
Shifting the focus of the podcast back to the Oilers, the guys recapped where they were at during Game 5 and how everyone feels now that the boys were successful in dragging the Panthers back to Alberta. Even though Tuesday's win wasn't necessarily the prettiest win we've ever seen in the history of our fandom, the Oilers managed to grind out a win that could have easily gone the other way. Yet, even with all of that pressure coming their way, the boys found a way to live another day. 
Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of the podcast by discussing everyone's plans for Friday night. Given that ticket prices are astronomical for Game 6, only Jay and Tyler will be in attendance while the other guys are still figuring out where they're going to watch. Given the stakes at hand, the boys are trying to make the perfect decision as a means of manifesting a huge win.

The Oilers kept their Stanley Cup dream alive with a big Game 4 win on Saturday night, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Thursday episode of the Real Life podcast.
The boys kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life by chatting about how much fun everyone had on Saturday night after the Oilers extended their Cup Final series by at least one more game. Without talking much about what happened on the ice, the boys had to talk about how amazing it was to be in Edmonton on Saturday night. Not only did the team win, but the city was buzzing well into the night after the team secured its first SCF win since 2006. 
Turning the conversation back to the Oilers playing their best game of the playoffs, the guys walked through a bunch of the goals scored on Saturday night and how it was, hopefully, the start of the dam starting to burst. Starting with the Mattias Janmark shorthanded goal, the guys couldn't contain their excitement about how the depth came through at such a pivotal moment. Of course, the conversation lasted two seconds before shifting gears to anything other than hockey. 
Finally, the podcast wrapped up the podcast with a four-leg squad bet on Game 5 and a story from Tyler about the conclusion of parking gate in his neighbourhood. Now that one of the neighbours has officially moved out, one can only hope that the drama has ended, but you can never be sure how the new personality will fit in.

The Oilers are only hours away from kicking off Game 3 back at Rogers Place, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Thursday episode of the Real Life podcast.
The guys started the podcast with a quick recap of the boys' trip to Florida and how everyone was feeling now that the team is back home, down by two games.
Obviously, being in this position was the last thing anybody wanted, but that doesn't mean we should give up hope, either. Down but not out. But as you'd expect, the podcast really fell off the rails in a hurry.
With some shenanigans out of the way, the guys got back to business with a deep dive into the first two games of the series and what went wrong. Whether it's the lack of shots, the power play struggles, or getting stonewalled by Sergei Bobrovsky, there are plenty of ways the Oilers can be better if they're going to get back in this series. 
Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a collection of random topics that ranged from changing jerseys after losses to what Chalmers would do if he ever saw Mark Messier out in public. Despite their best efforts to stay on track, the guys really struggled to keep this one on the rails. What else would you expect from the Real Life podcast?
