Hasn’t it felt like an eternity since the Oilers last played a meaningful game? I know the last one is a tough one to remember — I don’t like thinking about it — but the good news is that tonight’s matchup against the Canucks offers a clean slate.

To kick off this week’s podcast, I jumped in with some personal news after your boy had what can only be described as a fantastic start to the week. Not only did your boy kick off a new car deal, but my favourite band on earth, blink-182, announced that they’re getting back together and going on tour. Needless to say, I had a lot to be thankful for. Getting back to the Oilers, I didn’t want to spend a whole lot of time on tonight’s game against the Vancouver Canucks since the game will be over by the time most people are able to listen, so instead, I focused on some of my expectations for the year. Needless to say, the Nation is fired up about the 2022-23 season and I was having a hard time containing my own excitement. 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 in your life.
