In partnership with the proto-Norman forces, I was able to track down the High Priest of Oilers Magic on the coast of Brittany (AD 635), where he has been running a bed and breakfast as part of the Pythagorean Protection Program.

In this short interview-by-ambush, we discuss the new coach, the game against Vegas tomorrow, and much more, before I sadly had to return to the present time.
