Better Lait Than Never Ep. 12 – Oilers are rolling, Mike Smith scares me, and the NHL Trade Deadline

Happy Wednesday, Internet friends, and thank you for welcoming me into your earholes for a brand new episode of Better Lait Than Never. This week, I’m looking at the Oilers’ win streak, the @Mike Smith conundrum, trade deadline, and a whole lot more.

Kicking off this week’s podcast, I jumped in with a look at what has been a rollercoaster ride for the Edmonton Oilers and their fans as the team is right in the thick of a playoff race with a handful of other squads. I mean, is there a better example of the rollercoaster than the wins against Tampa Bay and Detroit? The good news for the Oilers, however, is that they’re starting to pick up some wins, guys are starting to get healthy again, and some of the teams they’re fighting with are starting to fall off. That said, with 20+ games left on the schedule, there is still plenty of time for anything to happen. Speaking of anything happening, that led me into a discussion about tomorrow night’s game against the Buffalo Sabres as he was in the starter’s net this morning at practice. Can Smith get himself back to where he needs to be a positive contributor for this hockey team? Should we even be giving him any more chances? Lastly, I wrapped up this week’s podcast with another round of voicemails and answered your questions on everything from the Oilers to dating to wine recommendations and everything in between.
