Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it’s ready to help you wrap up the week. On today’s podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers‘ Game 5 win, what the boys need to do to push Game 7, the special teams problems, and much more.
The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about the majority of the Real Life hosts not being in attendance for what is a massive day for the Edmonton Oilers. With the attendance complaints out of the way, Tyler talked about getting into Game 5 after waiting in Ford Hall until right before puck drop. That also led Tyler to talk about how great the vibes were at Rogers Place on Tuesday and how it felt like the fanbase is finally getting into it.
Changing gears, the conversation turned to fans who bring their babies to the Moss Pit, and how it seems like a strange choice to bring toddlers out to playoff parties. Given that none of the fellas who started the playoffs have children, it’s pretty easy to talk about what parents should and shouldn’t do with their kids. Needless to say, the advice may have come from the right place, but the boys were also interested to hear from parents who actually have to deal with these situations.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with beer prices in the Moss Pit and the Fan Park. Given that beers are still $18 each, the boys wondered how kids are affording to be in there every night. Changing gears, the guys looked ahead at Game 6, and specifically, what the Oilers need to do to grab a win on the road and force the series to a 7th and deciding game.
