It&#8217;s Wednesday afternoon and that means I&#8217;ve got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never set and ready to guide you through what&#8217;s left of the week. In this week&#8217;s episode, I looked at Ryan Nugent-Hopkins being one point away from 100, Leon Draisaitl at 50 goals again, and celebrated Clinchmas for the fourth straight season.
To kick off this week&#8217;s episode of BLTN, I got started with a quick Clinchmas celebration after the Oilers locked into their playoff spot last weekend against the Anaheim Ducks. Not only was that game a lot of fun to watch in person, but it was also the kind of performance you&#8217;d want to see from the Oilers against a team that poor. As a result, I actually expect the Ducks to push back a little bit harder in <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2023/04/05/game-79-preview-edmonton-oilers-at-anaheim-ducks-ryan-nugent-hopkins-gunning-for-100-points/">tonight&#8217;s rematch</a>, but at the same time, the result should still be the same even if the spread isn&#8217;t six goals. Sticking with Saturday night, I also spent a few minutes talking about Leon Draisaitl reaching the 50-goal mark for the third time and how I happily threw one of my favourite hats to mark the occasion. Sticking with milestones, I then talked about how <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2023/04/05/game-79-preview-edmonton-oilers-at-anaheim-ducks-ryan-nugent-hopkins-gunning-for-100-points/">Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is only a single point away from the century mark</a> and how I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever been this excited about watching someone get there. Yeah, we&#8217;ve watched Connor and Leon hit 100 points a few times each now, but to have Nuge do it too? C&#8217;mon. I also wanted to give some love to both Stuart Skinner and Jack Campbell for picking up back-to-back shutouts against the Kings and Ducks respectively, giving the team its first two bagels of the season. 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.
