It&#8217;s hard to feel much sunshine the day after the Edmonton Oilers bowed out of the Stanley Cup Final in only six games. After picking up massive OT wins in <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/06/04/overtime-goal-leon-draisaitl-edmonton-oilers-game-1-victory-over-florida-panthers/">Games 1</a> and 4, the Oilers were in great shape heading back to Rogers Place on Saturday night. Unfortunately, the wheels really fell off when the lights got brightest, as the boys were outplayed by a sizeable margin in the following two. The Panthers were so much better in <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/06/14/edmonton-oilers-on-verge-of-elimination-loss-at-home-game-5-florida-panthers/">Games 5</a> and 6 that you almost wondered which Oilers team you were watching. It certainly wasn&#8217;t the one that stormed through the first three rounds and made things look easy.
Finally, I wrapped up this week&#8217;s episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about being a sports fan before wrapping up the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was fantastic this week, and the messages were all over the map. As always, I finished up the show with another round of voicemails after yet another disappointing playoff exit. Another hearty thank you to everyone who contributed to this week&#8217;s episode, because having all of you in the mix makes the show so much better.
