Better Lait Than Never: blink-182 forever, Connor Brown comes to town, and a free agency recap

It wouldn’t be Wednesday without your boy popping back up in your phone with a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never, would it? Of course not.

Kicking off this week’s podcast, I got started with a quick story about seeing blink-182 at Rogers Place last week. If you’ve listened to any podcast I’ve ever been on over the years, chances are that you know how much I love that band so to see them again last week was a wonderful dose of nostalgia. Frankly, I was even tempted to jump in my whip and drive to Calgary for the next night’s show. From there, I touched on the amazing work our staff got done at Nation HQ on Canada Day despite Twitter trying its best to throw a wrench in the day. Yet, despite no one being able to refresh their Twitter feed, that didn’t stop NHL GMs from throwing piles of money around in free agency, and I spent the next few minutes walking through some of my winners and losers from the annual fishing derby. And given that the Edmonton Oilers had next to no cap space to get things done, I looked at what they were able to make happen — Connor Brown, come on down — and what else still needs to get done. Lastly, I wrapped up the episode with a fresh round of voicemails to get your take on the BLTN presidential election and what’s been going on over the last week.
