Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you through the rest of your workweek. On today&#8217;s podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers&#8217; series-clinching win, Stuart Skinner posting back-to-back shutouts, and much more.
The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a random conversation about Instagram ads and how you can sometimes be following an account only to have them pivot to the weirdest posts for cash. That led the guys to wonder what the model is for these accounts to abandon their normal content in favour of ads that annoy all of their followers. Clearly, there&#8217;s money to be made, but is that angle the right one?
Turning back to the Oilers, the team walked through the series-clinching win in Game 5, discussing how it was an incredible victory, given how tight the game ultimately shook out. The most impressive part of that win was how the Oilers were able to suppress the Golden Knights offensively, leaving them with next to nothing in the offensive zone. Equally impressive was the way Edmonton kept getting depth goals at key moments when we needed them most.
Changing gears, the guys took a look at some news from around the NHL to share their thoughts on what&#8217;s been happening. Starting with Sam Gagner signing in Ottawa in player development to the Toronto Maple Leafs imploding on themselves in Game 5 at home, the Thursday episode of the podcast was all over the map and arguably the most fun the boys have had in a minute. When the Oilers are winning, the boys always have a great time.
