Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and ready to help you start your week. On today’s podcast, the guys discussed Trent Frederic’s latest injury, Rexall Place memories, Will Smith’s return, and much more.

The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life by discussing Trent Frederic’s ankle injury again against the L.A. Kings on Saturday afternoon. Despite playing only 7:10 in TOI, Frederic re-injured his ankle and will now miss the rest of the regular season, with the goal of returning to the playoffs. Considering Frederic got re-injured in his first game as an Oiler, the fellas discussed the comparison to Mike Green playing on two games after the trade to Edmonton and refusing to return for the bubble playoffs.

Sunday marked the ninth anniversary of Rexall Place closing, so the guys spent the next few minutes talking about the old barn and comparing the vibes to how they are now at Rogers Place. If you’re old enough to remember the Rexall Place days, there will always be a special place in your heart for the times spent in that building. Sure, you could argue that it’s not located in the best neighbourhood, but that didn’t stop Wanye and Baggedmilk from waxing poetic about childhood games at the rink.

Next, there was a discussion about Alex Ovechkin breaking Wayne Gretzky’s record and speculation about whether he will finish out the last season on his contract or go to the KHL. Given that he has the NHL goal record and a Stanley Cup, how likely is it that he will leave the NHL to head home and be a hero in the Russian league until he retires. Either way, it’s an incredible feat for Ovi and it will be interesting to what his next move looks like.

Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a little bit of baseball talk after the Jays signed Vladdy Guerrero to a monster deal worth $500 million over the next 14 years. They also discussed Will Smith’s return to the stage as the Fresh Prince tries to rebuild his image after the infamous Chris Rock slap.
