Nothing is better than a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to recap the weekend and start your week. On the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys discussed the Oilers’ playoff push, played a live edition of the flag game, and much more.

The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a random debate about country flags after Chalmers admitted that he spent the weekend studying for a Flag Game showdown with Liam. If you’re new to the Flag Game, Liam is incredibly good at knowing the flags of different countries, which led Chalmers to throw down the gauntlet in a head-to-head matchup. As the live stream rolls along, Chalmers will have his chance to beat Liam in a Flag Game showdown that is certain to go poorly for him.

Changing gears to talk about the Oilers, the boys spoke about how lowered expectations for the Oilers may actually benefit Edmonton. Having the majority of pundits pick the Kings takes all of the pressure off the Oilers, and nothing would do a world of good for the team quite like finding a way to pick up a win in Los Angeles. From there, Chalmers and Jay challenged Liam to an impromptu Flag Game matchup, and as expected, Liam wiped the floor with the other two. Not only did he win the game, but he also offered to draw flags from memory to prove his prowess.

Finally getting to the Oilers, the boys talked about Game 1. Starting with Stuart Skinner getting the nod to start the series, Chalmers confessed that the most significant reason he’s nervous about the series is because of the netminder. They also talked about this game being the first time the Oilers have been healthy enough to play most of their lineup for the first time. How much of an impact will Trent Frederic make? Can the Dynamic Duo continue to succeed on the power play, which will likely be a primary key to victory, just as in the past three series?
