The Bits

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.

The Bitties are back with a big episode as the ladies landed a great broadcaster in the Edmonton area for their first guest. Edmonton Sports Talk's Dustin Nielson came by to answer all our questions about betting on sports. If you don't even know where to start, but want to responsibly dive in, you'll love this episode. Not to mention the great stories Dustin tells us along the way.

How can the girls not dive in to the newest scandal surrounding the royal family?!? The mystery of Kate Middleton and the family photo that was released Mother's Day in the UK. Who is in charge here? How did this happen? What in tarnations is going on? And wait, do we think that George and his siblings can possibly have any personality? PLUS...NFL trades and free agency. Hot takes on which teams are winners, losers and boring beige neutrals.

Our hometown of Edmonton continues to be a leader in supporting women's sports with the announcement of the WNBA coming to town for a preseason game. The girls celebrate International Women's Day by diving deeper into the deep history of the sport in Edmonton. Our pop culture guru Paulina will also get you set for the 96th Academy Awards on Sunday.

This week the girls (mostly Quinn. Quinn is definitely the angriest) dive into winter driving and all the frustrations that come with it. We discuss if winter tires should be mandatory in Alberta and which snowplow is our favourite - because yes, in Edmonton, you can have a favourite because they have names. Then switching gears, in our standard shift podcast vehicle, we'll address the Oilers season thus far and answer some of the things that casual fans might be wondering.
