Better Lait Than Never: Oilers take the series lead, our trip to LA, and fans gone wild

It’s Wednesday afternoon and that means a brand new episode of Better Lait Than Never is here to help get you through the rest of your week. On today’s episode, I’m recapping our trip to LA, breaking down the Oilers vs. Kings, and dolling out the usual dose of nonsense that you’ve come to expect from BTLN.

Kicking off the podcast, I got started with a quick look at our trip to Los Angeles from this past weekend after the fine folks at AMA Travel sent us on an adventure to cover the first round. Needless to say, those three days were an emotional rollercoaster that saw some of the highest of highs and lowest of lows with a little bit of rest and relaxation mixed in. One thing I can say for sure, however, is that I sure was glad that the Oilers found a way to pull off the miracle comeback in Game 4 because coming down 3-1 in the series could simply not happen. Coming back to Rogers Place for Game 5, the Oilers had the opportunity to give themselves their first lead of the series, and not only did they accomplish exactly that, but they also turned in what was arguably their best effort overall. In this week’s Righteous Sack Beating, I dove into the Kings fan situation that kicked off on social media yesterday after Evander Kane posted a pretty horrendous story about what happened to young Cecily Eklund in Los Angeles. 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.
