Wednesday afternoon means a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never is all and ready to massage your earholes and carry you through the rest of the week. This week, we&#8217;re talking about my time in Vancouver, Kris Knoblauch giving Calvin Pickard the Game 4 start, a little bit of pop culture, and whatever else is going on.
I started this week&#8217;s podcast with a general dose of shenanigans, including a couple of TV reviews and a quick recap of our trip to Vancouver for Games 1 and 2. As you&#8217;ll hear, <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2024/05/10/bet365-travel-diaries-recharging-between-games/">our trip to Vancouver</a> was an eventful one and it started right from the moment we landed. Needless to say, we got a lot done while we were down there, and when you mix in two spicy games between the Oilers and Canucks, you&#8217;ve got the makings of all kinds of adventure.
Getting into the news, how could I not start with last night&#8217;s massive <a href="https://oilersnation.com/news/pickard-gets-the-job-done-bouchard-scores-the-winner-in-oilers-massive-3-2-win-in-game-4">Game 4 win</a> at Rogers Place? In the NHL playoffs, Game 4 is always the swing game, and the Oilers were either going to tie things up or find themselves in a 3-1 hole that would be very difficult to climb out of. The good news is that Calvin Pickard — yes, Calvin &#8220;Cal our Pal&#8221; Pickard — stepped into his first-ever playoff start and gave the boys the kind of backstopping they needed to close out the win.
Lastly, I wrapped up this week&#8217;s show with a guest RSB and capped things off with another round of voicemails ranging from Oilers talk to Woz&#8217;s appreciation of birds and everything in between. Once again, this podcast always makes me laugh, and I&#8217;m so very grateful for the levels of participation by the wonderful BLTN community that keeps moving.
