Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and ready to help you through the rest of your work week. On today&#8217;s podcast, the guys discussed living on a cruise ship, the death of happy hour, <a href="https://oilersnation.com/news/edmonton-oilers-los-angeles-kings-game-6-preview">Oilers vs. Kings</a>, and much more.
The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including Jay&#8217;s Australian stock pact with Dooks, communication via random DMs, and anything else that happened to be on everyone&#8217;s mind. Talking about social media made the guys wonder if it would be fun to live on a cruise ship. As you&#8217;ll hear, the start of the Thursday episode of Real Life was all over the map.
Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the guys looked ahead at <a href="https://oilersnation.com/news/edmonton-oilers-same-lineup-game-6-los-angeles-kings">Game 6</a> and what the team needs to do to close out this series. After earning the chance to close out a fourth consecutive first-round win over the Kings, the Oilers must come up with their best game of the series to punch their way through to the next round. From <a href="https://oilersnation.com/news/oilers-dominant-for-60-minutes-evander-kane-impactful-again-and-playoff-mattias-janmark">playoff Mattis Janmark</a> coming through in the clutch to Evan Bouchard&#8217;s redemption, to Calvin Pickard locking things down, there are plenty of reasons to be bullish about the team&#8217;s chances.
Looking around the rest of the NHL, the guys discussed the rest of the series and how the storylines from the first round continue to make this the best round of the playoffs. They then discussed what&#8217;s happening around the city, and now that cell phones are in everybody&#8217;s hand, the ability to experience a playoff run becomes so much easier. As you&#8217;ll hear, the boys are excited about Game 6 and how much fun the city will be if the Oilers get through to the second round for the 4th consecutive season.
