Better Lait Than Never: Oilers rumours, high school reunions, and my love of the silly season

It’s Wednesday afternoon, the sun is shining, rumours from around the NHL are starting to roll in, and that means I’ve got a whole lot to talk about on the brand new episode of Better Lait Than Never.

To kick off this week’s podcast, I got started with a few stories from my 20-year high school reunion that happened this past weekend. Not only did we have a great time, but I would also argue that this was one of the drunkest nights I’ve had in quite some time. The result was that all of us felt like death for the next two days but I wouldn’t change what happened for anything. That also led into this week’s question of the week, which was “What are the best late night eats after a big drinking session.” Of course, everyone came through with some fantastic answers and what I loved most was how varied all of our tastes seem to be when we’re hammered. Getting back to hockey, I ran through some of the newest rumours that are circulating after the Ivan Provorov trade from yesterday, including someone out of Philly kicking a hornet’s nest after he tied the Oilers to goaltender Carter Hart. Even though pretty much everyone in the know has suggested that the deal won’t happen, that didn’t stop Oiler fans from trying to figure out how to make this happen. I also touched on a quote from Oilers Now from earlier in the week after Elliotte Friedman suggested the Oilers could be more aggressive than some folks think. Lastly, I wrapped up the episode with another Righteous Sack Beating and a fresh round of voicemails to get your take on what’s been going on over the last week.
