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&#8217; series win, what to expect from the Vegas Golden Knights, and much more.
The boys were shorthanded for the Monday episode of Real Life, but Tyler, Chalmers, and Baggedmilk kicked off the podcast with a recap of their <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/05/01/instant-reaction-oilers-advance-second-round-win-kings/">first round win over the Los Angeles Kings</a>. While many of the pundits and experts felt this was the Kings&#8217; year to beat the Oilers finally, what actually happened was a fantastic display of resilience by an Edmonton crew that would not quit. As a result, the Kings announced that they&#8217;ve <a href="https://oilersnation.com/news/los-angeles-kings-rob-blake-part-ways">parted ways with Rob Blake</a> as the team&#8217;s GM only days after a fourth consecutive first-round exit.
<a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/05/05/oilers-golden-knights-tactical-preview/">Looking ahead at the Vegas Golden Knights</a>, Tyler walked the boys through what to expect from their second round matchup vs. the Vegas Golden Knights. While there&#8217;s little doubt the Golden Knights are a fantastic hockey club, Tyler also singled out some areas where the Oilers could have an advantage over the team that knocked them out of the playoffs two years ago. Changing gears, the guys then looked back at the two Game 7s that happened over the weekend, and how both games had the wildest endings you could ever hope to see.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including a look back at some of the stats from Oilers/Vegas from two years ago, depth scoring, tactics, <a href="https://x.com/barstoolsports/status/1919087225003815381" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an amazing fight breakdown</a> from Chalmers, and much more. Despite playing shorthanded for the Monday show, the boys worked through the hour with an array of topics that were all over the map.
