Les Bits Encore - Oilers! Sports!

The Edmonton Oilers are back—and so are Quinn Phillips and Paulina Denholm from The Bits! Terry welcomes two of his favourite sports guests back to The Reluctantly Podcast for a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation ahead of the #Oilers’ season opener.
The trio tackles the controversial #AlexFormenton signing, the Oilers’ history of offering second chances, and the bigger questions surrounding hockey culture, accountability, and making sports a safer, more welcoming space for women. They also dig into #MikeBabcock behind the bench, Edmonton’s goaltending, life without #DarnellNurse, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’ place in Oilers history, and reasons for optimism heading into the new season.
Then things get lighter with the surging Edmonton Elks, #NFL predictions, and Terry getting a crash course in #fantasyfootball—including learning how to actually change his lineup.
Sports, strong opinions, laughs, and absolutely no shortage of tangents.
