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’ coaching debacle, Vegas’ gamesmanship, pressure on the management group, and more. Needless to say, it’s been a busy week around here.

I kicked off this week’s episode with a quick recap of the Oilers’ coaching drama that kicked off after Frank Seravalli broke the story that Edmonton reached out to Vegas for an interview with Bruce Cassidy. While it absolutely makes sense that the Oilers would do their due diligence before making a change behind the bench, the fact that the news broke before they gassed Kris Knoblauch certainly didn’t look good. Either way, the Oilers’ most important summer in ages started off a little rocky, and it’s going to be fascinating to see how and if they can pull themselves out of this tailspin.

Finally, I wrapped up this week’s episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating, then closed out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was alive again this week, and, as always, I had a wonderful time with everyone’s takes on whatever you wanted to talk about. The voicemail is the best 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.
