Another Thursday has landed on your calendar, which means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with another hour of nonsense and (maybe) some Oilers talk to wrap up your week. On today’s show, the guys looked at the Mattias Ekholm trade, Nick Bjugstad coming in for a 3rd round pick, and a whole lot more.Kicking off the second episode of Real Life of the week, the podcast got started with Wanye’s rant about Reid Schaefer being traded and how it is heartbreaking for all of us to lose Ginger Beef without even having him play a single game with his hometown club. From there, the guys looked at last night’s win over the Toronto Maple Leafs and how it was one of the most fun wins that we’ve seen all season. The guys also dove into the Nick Bjugstad trade that the Oilers completed while the podcast was happening. As you’ll hear, the reaction to the trade was very split as the Oilers paid not only a 3rd round pick but Mike Kesselring, a prospect that many Oilers fans had high hopes for down the line. Either way, Bjugstad is now an Edmonton Oiler and we’ll have to see how things go and how he’s used. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a look at the trade deadline and how it could be a quiet day given that teams all over the league have been swinging deals all week long.

I heard bug stead is good on the pk and face offs!
With the remaining years of connors contract, youre betting the future. all in every year. you gotta win.
I think the Bjugstad pickup is pretty solid. Guys +7 on Arizona this year and he's one of their highest time on ice forwards. It's not flashy but he's probably going to be a pretty important depth pickup and we have him for 450k so there's no cap issues.
I came for the Oilers trade chat.
I then listened to a solid 5 mins of in depth discussion of…. piss and the bottling of said piss.
Still better than 95% of the other Oilers media. 🤔
Well at least let him say what the wikipedia said. All talking over each other. :0
$0 Cap Space; I love Kenny H. Awesome
I was shocked to hear the boys dislike Bjugstad pick up so much. I thought it was such a good pick up.
You guys are a bunch of clowns don’t know nothing about a half an hour seriously
Nick bjugstad is a better fit than taylor raddysh
Did they say Bjugstad hasn’t scored more than 25pts before? He had 26 goals one year lmao
Great show boys. Bert is amazing seen him 2 times. He made me laugh so hard I was crying and almost passed out
Bjugstad has 23 pts in 59 gp with Arizona.. Currently sits 6th on the Oilers in points. Plus he's motivated. I like the pickup!
Feeling great Nation 🤣🇨🇦
Live reactions are hilarious. Then proceed to make videos and tweets about how you guys love the trades/acquired players.
Others have been mentioning Bjugstad’s points and goals and plus minus on a bad team, but it should also be mentioned that he’s accomplished being an above average NHLer while deployed against elites in Arizona this season.
