Changing gears, the conversation turned to coffee consumption and beer advent calendars, and how the Christmas season is the worst time of year if you're planning to cut down on your vices. Somehow talking about coffee and beers led to the guys complaining about speeding tickets and road conditions around the city. Are any of the guys city planners? No, of course not, but that didn't matter whatsoever. To wrap

From there, the guys told a few old Oilersnation stories as The Nation Network prepares for its 15th anniversary, and as you'll hear, things didn't always run quite as smoothly.
