It’s been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I’ve got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to recap it all. On today’s podcast, I discussed the Oilers’ Game 1 win over the Ducks, Jason Dickinson’s brilliant night, Kasperi Kapanen’s game-winner, and more.

I kicked off this week’s episode with a quick recap of Game 1 between the Oilers and Ducks after I found my way into the building despite not really thinking I’d go. As excited as I was about the playoffs being back, I was also nervous about the Oilers bucking the trend we’ve seen in series openers over the last few years. And while we ultimately got the result we wanted, getting that win was not without challenges. The good news is that the Oilers overcame the adversity they created for themselves, completing a third-period comeback to cash in on Game 1. Needless to say, I’d like to see the boys be a little tighter with the puck as the series rolls along.

Finally, I wrapped up this week’s episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating before closing out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was much more lively this week, and I had a great time with everyone’s takes on whatever you wanted to talk about. The voicemail is my favourite way to wrap up the show and give everyone a chance to share their thoughts. Another hearty thank you to everyone who contributed to this week’s episode. Having all of you in the mix makes the show so much better.
