Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Jay and Chalmers' golf trip, casino etiquette, NFL opening weekend, and delved into any other topics that arose.The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion about Jay and Chalmers' golf trip to Kamloops, and how both guys are not feeling their freshest after being away. Not only were they getting after it on the golf course, but they also seemed to carry the vibes into the casino with them. From a long weekend with the boys to an extended travel day on the way home, and even playing well on the course, it was clear that Jay and Chalmers had a great weekend and are paying for it today.Changing gears, the guys discussed the start of the NFL season and how Tyler cashed in big on the Sunday nighter between the Bills and Ravens. Needless to say, having the NFL back this weekend was a big moment for the boys on the podcast, marking the official start of the best time for sports in the calendar year. If there was a downside to football being back, it had to be that everyone was watching the NFL and not reading the content on the TNN family of websites.Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including the Kawhi Leonard cap circumvention with the Clippers, whether or not this situation is unique in sports, and whether there's going to be more similar stories like this that will come out. Sticking with contract discussions, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life by wondering what is going on with the Connor McDavid situation and whether the Oilers will be able to get the job done.

It's another Wednesday in the middle of the NHL dead zone, which means a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never is ready to recap what was another non-event news week in Edmonton. On today's podcast, I discussed the Oilers being back in town, the latest on Connor McDavid's contract, Dylan Holloway speaking after a year with the Blues, and whatever else has happened over the last seven days.With the Oilers players arriving in Edmonton for the captain's skates, it's hard not to get excited about the upcoming season and what our new and old friends will be able to do to avenge a second consecutive Stanley Cup Final loss. Yet, even with the hope of a new season upon us, the only thing anyone around here wants to talk about is whether or not Connor McDavid will sign an extension before the season starts. What started as close to a certainty as you could get has now been clouded with doubt after a run of insiders have suggested No. 97 could start the season without a new deal in place. Obviously, that situation would not be ideal, but if you listen to Jeff Jackson's side of the story, a lot of this noise is much ado about nothing.Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about turn signals before wrapping up the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was alive with nonsense again this week, and as always, the messages were as fun as they were all over the map. The voicemail is always a fun way to wrap up the show and give everyone a chance to share their thoughts. Another hearty thank you to everyone who contributed to this week's episode, because having all of you in the mix makes the show so much better.

Nick Alberga and Jake Hahn are back together to break down NHL.com's skater point and goalie/team win projections for the 2025-26 season. The guys, together with Pete Jensen and Chris Meaney, start with the race for the Art Ross Trophy, led by Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon and Nikita Kucherov, and debate what Alex Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby, Mitch Marner, Auston Matthews, the Canadiens' offense and other players and teams have in store for the upcoming season. Other topics include which team has the best goalie tandem for fantasy purposes, Macklin Celebrini vs. Connor Bedard, which new player(s) could reach 100 points for the first time, under-the-radar goalies who can reach 30 wins and which defensemen could contend with Cale Makar for the most points at the position.

Join Bryan Hayes, Jeff O'Neill and Jamie McLennan for Hour 1 on OverDrive!

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed Connor McDavid's latest contract quotes, EA sports ratings, , and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Connor McDavid's quotes from yesterday, and how the hockey world is making a big deal about his quotes even though No. 97 didn't really say much. And while most people still think he's going to sign an extension with the Oilers, there are still plenty of hopeful Leafs fans who believe he's going to end up in Toronto. That said, the noise will undoubtedly continue until his name ends up on the dotted line. Changing gears, we looked at the limited Oilers news that's happened over the last week, including the new EA Sports ratings that dropped for the NHL 26 edition of the game that's set to launch in a few weeks. Starting with McDavid being the best-ranked player in the game for the second consecutive year, we examined whether he's properly rated at 97, given how significantly better he generally is than everyone else. We also discussed the other Oilers players and made some predictions about how they'll stack up.Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week. With just over two months left until the start of the 2025-26 season, the guys spent the bulk of the Friday episode talking about an array of topics that were Oilers-related or not at all, but that's what happens in August.
