Did you think you weren’t going to get a podcast just because we had our annual planning meetings at the Overlander Lodge near Hinton over the last couple of days?

Kicking off this week’s podcast, I got started with an update on the reviews contest I held a few weeks back. Now that I have everyone’s information and details, I’ll be putting in the order for BLTN hoodies and shipping them out as quickly as possible. I also walked through a quick update from our annual planning meetings out near Hinton. Without getting too much in the weeds on this, I just wanted to give everyone an update on what to expect from us heading into the new season. Turning the podcast back toward the Oilers, the team announced Adam Erne’s PTO this past week and I wondered how/if he could fit with all of the other pieces already in place. I also dug into the interview Vinny Desharnais did on The Sick Podcast specifically the quotes from Connor McDavid relating to stats vs. wins. As the season draws closer, Tyler is working on a 10-part series to look at the biggest storylines surrounding the team and I wanted to look at the three articles that have been posted so far while also adding in some questions of my own. On the lighter side, Darnell Nurse announced that he had a second baby this past week and ads yet another young Oiler offspring that we all hope to see sitting in the Stanley Cup come June. Lastly, I wrapped up the episode with a fresh round of voicemails to get your take on everything that’s been going on since last week’s episode. Oh, and subscribe to my YouTube channel.
