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's podcast, the guys discussed Game 5 against the Stars, superfan costumes, and much more.


The guys kicked off the website with a conversation about Game 5 against the Dallas Stars, and how everyone is feeling about the Oilers having another chance to close out the Western Conference Final. As much as everyone is excited about the Oilers' chances to get through to the final, no one is willing to disrespect the Stars, nor believe Dallas is going to be an easy out. As Leon Draisaitl after Game 4, closing this team out will take the team's best effort. 


Changing gears, we looked at the Oilers' superfans who constantly hit the streets during the playoffs, and how much fun it is to see everyone dress up and get involved. From Banjo Guy's incredible costumes to Mama Stanley always being in the Moss Pit to McMullet driving in from Strathmore for every home game, the commitment from the fanbase to get involved and improve the atmosphere is unparalleled. Needless to say, there is no fan base that does it like Oilers fans. 


Looking ahead to Thursday's game against Dallas, the guys discussed Mattias Ekholm's return to the lineup in favour of Troy Stecher and how that will alter the lineup's look, even though he hasn't played in months. They also discussed Jeff Skinner's return to the lineup for the first time since Game 1 against Los Angeles, and what he needs to do to stick for more than just a game or two.
