Nation Real Life
Oilers tie the series against the Kings with two comeback wins
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' series comeback, Evan Bouchard's redemption, the NFL draft, and much more.
The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life by looking at the Oilers' miraculous comeback in their first-round series against the Los Angeles Kings. While neither Games 3 nor 4 were masterpieces by Edmonton, the resilience they showed to come back on both nights was as extraordinary as it was concerning that they could keep doing it. As much as the comebacks were thrilling, wouldn't it be nice to have the boys find an early lead and be able to keep it for 60 minutes?
Diving into the Game 4 win, the guys discussed the Oilers' comeback win and how Sunday's victory was as electric as it gets in the post-season. Starting with the way the Oilers got better as the game wore on, the guys wondered why it takes the boys being down by a goal or more before they're able to get themselves going.
Changing gears, the guys looked at the NFL draft from this past weekend, and how the Cleveland Browns snagged Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round even though some people — his old man, specifically — were hyping him up as a top prospect. Since Jay is a massive Browns fan, everyone wanted to know whether or not he'd be purchasing a new jersey to celebrate his team's new toy. From there, Chalmers also let the boys know about a prank call involving Sanders and how the kid's dad ended up taking shrapnel as a result.

As you'll hear, his story of turning pro is anything but easy, making it one worth following over the next weeks, months, and years.
