Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off the rest of your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys welcomed Justin from Jacksonville to talk about his first trip to Edmonton, the Oilers' wins in Games 2 & 3, what the boys need to do in Game 4, and much more.

The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life by welcoming Justin from Jacksonville to the podcast and discussing how a guy from Florida became an Oilers fan despite two teams being in his backyard. Starting in the 2018-19 season, Justin wanted to commit to an NHL team but didn't want to jump on a bandwagon, so he landed on the Oilers after working through some internal metrics that made sense.


Diving into his first trip to Edmonton, Justin talked about how he ended up in the city earlier than expected because Jay promised him a ticket for Game 3 if he could get in on time. After changing his flights to get in a night early, Justin soaked up as much of Edmonton as he could with only a handful of hours before his first experience at Rogers Place. Getting into the game itself, Justin talked about how incredible the experience was to be at Rogers Place during the playoffs after watching it on TV for so many years.


Looking at the game itself, the boys discussed the Oilers' unbelievable Game 3 result and how it was actually the Stars' best game of the series despite losing by five goals. Starting with Stuart Skinner's brilliance between the pipes, the goalie gave the Oilers a chance to win despite being shelled through most of the second period. From a Stars perspective, how can they not be gripping the stick right now with the way they're being stonewalled at every turn.


Finally, Justin wrapped up his time on the podcast by giving the boys some gifts that he carried with him all the way from Jacksonville. From a collection of Floridian beers to some spirits from a local distillery to a corduroy hat that Jay has been wanting, the generosity was overwhelming and certainly appreciated.
