Better Lait Than Never: Nuge chases 100 points, the Pacific Division, and a brand new Tyler song

It’s Wednesday afternoon and that means I’ve got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never set and ready to guide you through what’s left of the week. In this week’s episode, I looked at Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’ pursuit of 100 points, the Oilers’ chances at winning the Pacific Division, and debuted a brand new Tyler Yaremchuk song that you won’t want to miss.

To kick off this week’s episode of BLTN, I got started with a quick Frank update after so many of you reached out about how he was doing and with general letters of support. The support was fantastic in every way, and I was honestly blown away by how much all of you love my dog. From there, I dove into a brand new Tyler Yaremchuk song that Meat Watcher made this past week, and as you’ll hear, this new tune is ridiculous. Getting back to the Oilers, I had to start the news with the ridiculous season that Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is having, and how it blows my mind that he’s at 96 points with seven games left to go. No matter how you slice it, the guy is on fire and my body is here for it. Next up, I looked at both Leon Draisaitl and Evander Kane hitting the 300-goal plateau, and how it’s almost stunning that Connor McDavid has yet to reach the milestone. Speaking of milestones, Darnell Nurse tied his career-high in both goals and points last night against Vegas and I wanted to give him a little bit of love for the year he’s having despite people constantly shitting on him. From there, I quickly ran through the Pacific Division standings and spoke about how the Oilers finally got a break with the teams they’re chasing as well as what that means down the stretch. Lastly, I wrapped up the episode with another round of voicemails to get your take on what’s been going on over the last week.
