Nation Real Life

The Oilers are only hours away from kicking off Game 3 back at Rogers Place, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Thursday episode of the Real Life podcast.The guys started the podcast with a quick recap of the boys' trip to Florida and how everyone was feeling now that the team is back home, down by two games. Obviously, being in this position was the last thing anybody wanted, but that doesn't mean we should give up hope, either. Down but not out. But as you'd expect, the podcast really fell off the rails in a hurry.With some shenanigans out of the way, the guys got back to business with a deep dive into the first two games of the series and what went wrong. Whether it's the lack of shots, the power play struggles, or getting stonewalled by Sergei Bobrovsky, there are plenty of ways the Oilers can be better if they're going to get back in this series. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a collection of random topics that ranged from changing jerseys after losses to what Chalmers would do if he ever saw Mark Messier out in public. Despite their best efforts to stay on track, the guys really struggled to keep this one on the rails. What else would you expect from the Real Life podcast?💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/NationRealLifehttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

The boys are back with a fresh edition of the Real Life Podcast as they’re down in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for the Stanley Cup Final. It’s been a wild couple of days for the boys as they were in attendance for Game 1 of the series and got up to some off day shenanigans.To kick off the podcast, they did a quick keep it for cut it segment where they discussed the lineup changes that Oilers Head Coach Kris Knoblauch is making ahead of Game 2. For the first time as an Oiler, Cody Ceci is going to be a healthy scratch. They debated if that was the right move, talked about just how frustrating it was to watch the Oilers get shutout by a red hot Sergei Bobrovsky and also talked about the general vibes of Panthers fans so far down in South Florida.From there, they talked a little bit more about the game and what the Oilers need to do better to win Game 2.They then shared some tales from their off day as the guys went on a boat with Frank Seravalli for the afternoon. Tyler had a very special experience in the water and told the story of that and was promptly roasted for it. They also saw a truly one of a kind flag in the water.They wrapped up by building a squad bet for bet365 and got hyped up for Game 2!💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/NationRealLifehttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

The Oilers are only days away from kicking off the Stanley Cup Final, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Thursday episode of the Real Life podcast. The guys kicked off the Thursday podcast with a discussion about the history of Oilersnation and how having the team in the finals is the biggest moment in our company's existence. After so many years of watching horrible hockey, the way this feels for all of us is so indescribably exciting that it's almost difficult to describe. Changing gears, the guys walked through some of their pre-game superstitions. Whether it's Chalmers wearing the same t-shirts underneath his Mark Messier jersey on game day or Jay wearing his Evan Bouchard bracelet, it's always so funny to see what people are doing to try and help this team move things along. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with some of their expectations for the weekend and how they plan on enjoying the moment as best they can even at a time when the anxiety and nerves will be high. The Stanley Cup Final is one of the hardest series in sports to make — let alone win — and that had the fellas feeling grateful just to be able to experience the ride. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/NationRealLifehttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

The Oilers punched their ticket to the Stanley Cup Final last night in Game 6, and that meant the boys were beyond fired up for the Monday episode of the Real Life Podcast. The guys started the podcast with a recap of last night's series win over the Stars, where everyone was to watch the game, and what it meant to them. Baggedmilk and Tyler were lucky enough to be at the game, and their perspective on what it was like to be at Rogers Place was very fun to listen to. Now that the boys are going to the SCF, the guys then talked about their approach to merch for the Stanley Cup Final. For Wanye, the approach was to buy literally every piece of Oilers merch the NHL site had to offer. As soon as the game ended, Wanye kept refreshing the site over and over until everything loaded, and he emptied the clip on every piece of merch he could find.Finally, the guys wrapped the podcast up by bringing Kennedy in for the last little bit to talk about some new NationGear merch that just dropped, how she's handling the playoff stress, and what she expects from her first time experiencing the Oilers in the finals. In terms of energy, this episode of the podcast was all vibes. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/NationRealLifehttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

It's Thursday afternoon after a HUUUUUGE Game 4 win over the Dallas Stars, the boys on the Real Life podcastThe boys started the Thursday episode of Real Life with a recap of last night's Oilers game after the boys came up with one of the most exciting outings of the playoffs. After being down 2-0 after 5:29, Edmonton woke up in a huge way and absolutely laid the boots to the Dallas Stars for a dominant comeback win.Changing gears, the guys started talking about the amazing collection of super fans that surround this team and how they're almost becoming celebrities in their own right. From there, the fellas welcomed Dooks to the podcast as a special guest to discuss his playoff experience from down in Australia. As you'll hear, Dooks is always a beacon of positivity, and it was a lot of fun to hear how he's experiencing this playoff run from the other side of the world.Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of the podcast with a conversation about jersey purchases after Baggedmilk rolled into the studio wearing an Orlando Magic Shaq jersey. Interestingly enough, the boys have some pretty random jerseys in their collection but don't ever seem to wear them for whatever reason. Finally, the pod wrapped up with a classic edition of Chalmers keeping it 100 after he noticed that more bathrooms need to play music instead of leaving people sit in silence. Nation Real LIfe💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/NationRealLifehttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

The Oilers are getting set to kick off the Western Conference Final tonight against the Dallas Stars, and that meant the opportunity for an on-the-road edition of the Real Life Podcast.The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a quick recap of their travel down to Texas after the boys took the red eye to Dallas for games one and two. Despite a long night of travel and very limited sleep, the boys' spirits were high, and everyone was excited about what was to come in the first game at American Airlines Arena. After a few minutes of arguing about whether or not Ryan McLeod should be in the lineup in favour of someone else after some costly errors at the end of the second round versus Vancouver, the guys put together a squad bet for Game 1 in the hopes of paying for some of their trip. As you'll hear, the boys are feeling good about the start of this series, and they are putting their money on manifesting a win. Nation Real LIfe💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/NationRealLifehttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

It may be a holiday Monday, but that didn't stop the boys from heading into the studio for a Game 7 edition of the Real Life Podcast to get prepped for Edmonton's biggest game of the season.The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with an array of topics related to the Oilers but didn't really relate to the task at hand. From Crawford's acting as the ultimate insider to the way we felt before and after Game 6, the boys tap-danced around tonight's game a little bit before finally getting to the task at hand for 30 seconds at most.The Oilers talk was quickly interrupted, however, by a quick chat about Scottie Scheffler getting arrested before the PGA Championship and how the story was so bizarre, given what everyone knows about him. The guys then talked about Jay catching a donair at Game 6 and how he was so excited to get one despite it not being the greatest thing he's ever eaten. Looking ahead to Game 7, the guys walked through their keys to victory and what the Oilers need to do to advance to the next round. From the steady goaltending to the power play to Edmonton's stars showing up, there is a path for the Oilers to win the game, but it certainly won't be easy. There's no doubt that the Canucks are going to bring their best, and it will be up to the Oilers to match that urgency. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with another look at the MLB's gambling issues after another translator has been tagged with a gambling controversy. That led the guys to spend a few minutes talking about the Toronto Blue Jays, and how that team is incredibly frustrating to watch given their inability to score many runs. Nation Real LIfe💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/NationRealLifehttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

Is there anything better than a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to help you close out your week? Of course not. This Thursday, the squad looked ahead at tonight's Game 5 matchup between the Oiler and Canucks along with whatever nonsense got in the way of the guys staying on topic.The squad started the Thursday episode of Real Life by discussing the Moose Jaw Warriors' sweep of the Portland Winterhawks, which won them the WHL Championship. Wanye and Jay are Moose Jaw lifers, so both guys were incredibly excited about the team's progress to the Memorial Cup.After a minute of Moose Jaw-related happiness, the guys immediately started yelling at each other about Kris Knoblauch's decision to play Calvin Pickard for a second straight game. Much like the last episode of the podcast, the boys were fired up and were not shy about voicing their opinions at extreme volumes.Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of the podcast with a story from landlord Chalmers about how his tenant let a toilet run for the last month, and the water bill he got was unbelievable. Needless to say, it was a classic Chalmers rant to wrap up the podcast, and it had the guys in tears laughing about it. 

It's the Monday after a devastating Game 3 loss to the Vancouver Canucks, which meant the boys had plenty to talk about on the new episode of the Real Life Podcast.The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics that included trip cigarettes, playing soccer on asphalt, and how rough childhood sports were back in the 90s. If we're being honest, the boys were really just doing what they could to avoid talking about the disaster that was Game 3. Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, Chalmers ran through a list of issues he has with the team right now. From singling out Ryan Nugent-Hopkins as someone who needs to be better to calling out the Oilers' defencemen for their lack of physicality, no one was safe from this classic rant. Finally, with all of the negativity out of the way, the boys wrapped up the podcast with some positivity regarding why we think the Oilers can still win this series. Needless to say, the Oilers will have to be a whole lot better if they're going to climb their way back into the series and win it. And despite the negativity clouding the Oilers today, they're only down 2-1 in the series and very much still alive. OilersNation.comTwitterYouTubeFacebookInstagramTikTokSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼 Great Clips👍🏼Powered by bet365.
