Well, the cup didn't come home this week but that's not keeping us down at The Bits. We do have some thoughts and feelings to work through though...join us as we recap the loss, some highlights from the season, and our "special boys" of the playoffs. And if you're an Oilers hater, don't worry, the Flames and Canucks fans get a shoutout too. Later in the episode, we touch on the upcoming NHL draft and concerns we have for next season's roster with salary conversations in the mix.

The boys are back in town. After forcing a game 6 which will take place at home, the Stanley Cup feels more within reach than ever this round. The ladies talk about game 6, the shift in momentum (and the shift in fan morale), and some predictions. Later in the episode we also discuss Cameron Brink's devastating injury.

Quinn, an international woman of mystery, is away this week, so Claire and Paulina hold down the fort with discussions around the Stanley Cup final (of course), discussing what we hope to see in the next couple of games here at home, and a follow up on our "Is Knoblauch Gutsy Enough" segment. We also debate issues with future "Florida Man" (you know, the shirtless kid trolling the camera at the Florida games?). Plus, another round of "Who Would Ya Spoon", Florida Panthers edition - don't worry, we hated every second of it.

This is not a drill, everyone! The Edmonton Oilers are back in the Stanley Cup final for the first time since 2006. We'll take a different approach than the other guys and look back at our NOT SO HOT TAKES from November when the team was 30th in the NHL. We certainly can't claim to be fortune tellers but we do have passion. We'll also talk about a brave pencil that wrote a new story (you gotta listen to understand). We also dive into the controversy, and frankly, the anger, in the WNBA as their fan base grows thanks to Caitlin Clark. Do we think it's justified? An overreaction? Tune in to hear our thoughts.

In this week's episode of The Bits, we discuss the Round 3 matchup between the Edmonton Oilers and the Dallas Stars. Find out what to expect and key players to watch, and we talk round 3 vibes. Plus, we get weird with who we'd "spoon" on the Stars – our picks might surprise you! We also reflect on our favourite moments from Round 2, highlighting standout performances and game-changing plays in the Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers series that was. In our community segment, we're excited about Quinn emceeing the prestigious Alberta Hall of Fame ceremony this coming weekend. Lastly, we talk Plouffe sisters and the upcoming Olympics. Two of Alberta's own making waves on the international stage. Join us for a packed episode filled with hockey insights, local pride, and a celebration of sporting excellence.

Did you know that 73% of NHL fans blame the ref for their teams win or loss? That is by no way a fact, but it's feeling more accurate these days and we really want to put an end to the whining. Also, not that we are bitter or anything, but what's up with the Canucks fanbase? Listen up to this episode, because, we also tackle important things like drip and star power in women's sports and we have our takes on Kansas City Kicker Harrison Butker's controversial speech.

This week The Bits welcomes guests living in enemy territory... well, for one of them it's enemy territory. Christy and Fraser are two of Vancouver’s favourite morning radio hosts. Fraser is repping the orange and blue, and Christy is...not. We sit down with them for a spicy conversation about the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks round two playoff showdown. We talk fandom, and ask “is Vancouver okay?,” does Fraser feel safe, standout players, and the memorable moments that built the foundation for our shared love of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Whether you're an Oilers fan or a Canucks supporter, tune in for some laughs and some hot takes.

It shouldn't be much of a surprise that this week on The Bits, your hosts are going hard on Oilers hockey. A quick disposal of the L.A. Kings has given the ladies' confidence, but also a chance to rest their bodies after not taking their own 'it's a marathon not a sprint' advice. We talk next round hopes, a wild Ales Hemsky story, and more CoolBet updates. Plus, we get you set for the upcoming WNBA game in Edmonton between the Seattle Storm and L.A. Sparks - the only time The Bits will cheer for L.A.

Join us this week as Puneeta McBryan, CEO of the Edmonton Downtown Business Association, dives into the electrifying atmosphere of the playoffs in the downtown core. We'll also explore what it means to be a real fan, engaging in deep discussions about loyalty, passion, and fan support (warning: we might get a bit salty towards some other Canadian fanbases). Plus, we break down the latest drama surrounding Canadian country star, and anthem singer, Brett Kissel. Whether you’re a die-hard sports fan or simply someone who values local culture, this episode offers homer-centric discussion around the Oilers playoff run. Tune in!

Even though Claire was super sick, Paulina and Quinn pushed through to bring you a hot new episode. We go deep discussing how hot the WNBA is right now, while hitting highlights of the league's draft and upcoming game in Edmonton. We're telling you that if you want to make women's basketball your whole personality, NOW is the time. And, of course, with the NHL playoffs looming large, we're diving in with tips and tricks to survive a long Edmonton Oilers run and who we want the Oilers to play in the first round. Our answer may surprise you.
