   Small Joys in a Complicated Oiler Season & Tkachuk Chants

   Babe, wake up, new Tkachuk chants just dropped. You know The Bits have to talk about the brothers we all love to hate — the Tkachuks. We discuss Brady getting absolutely dragged in Ottawa, plus a pitch of our own for some new chants to try out the next time the Florida Panthers roll into town. This week's 'Oil Check' is about the small joys in a season of complicated feelings, and why Quinn might have a new perspective.

   Elks Spotlight, Oilers Fans Rant & Etsy Witches

   We’re spotlighting the Edmonton Elks this week. Paulina, Claire, and Quinn look back at the team’s rough years, the decisions behind the decline, and how better leadership, player access, and reconnecting with fans brought the excitement back. Then they check in on the Oilers, celebrate Evan Bouchard’s hot start, dig into hockey’s latest storylines, and share a spooky-season “send away spell” you have to hear to understand.
