Real Life Podcast: Are puzzles an acceptable gift, Cabela’s Santa, and the Edmonton Oilers

The Oilers lost their last two hockey games in disappointing fashion, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Monday episode of the Real Life Podcast. As always, the real question was whether or not the boys would actually talk about those games or not.

Kicking off the Monday episode of Real Life, the boys got started with a recap of Tyler’s holiday party and how the gift exchange to a real turn when one of his friends brought a puzzle. Unfortunately for Tyler, his hatred of puzzles didn’t fly in the room as pretty much everyone jumped to defend the gift. After the puzzle talk subsided, the guys then spent a bunch of time talking about board games being underrated and how this time of year is the perfect time to pull them out. Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the boys discussed Saturday’s loss to Florida and how it was a frustrating night for an Oilers team that had been playing so well in the weeks beforehand. From start to finish, the Oilers did not look like the club that had won eight games in a row, as they basically gave the Florida Panthers all the time and space they needed to run away with the evening. Given how poorly that game went, the guys spent a couple of minutes wondering how close Ken Holland is from making a move to try and help the current group, given that a handful of other contenders are actively addressing holes on their rosters.
