It’s Wednesday afternoon and that means I’ve got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never set and ready to guide you through what’s left of the week. In this week’s episode, we’re talking about the Oilers’ loss in Game 1, what the boys need to do better in Game 2, the NHL playoffs, and a whole lot more.

To kick off this week’s episode of BLTN, I got started with a quick recap of how much fun it is for the Oilers to be back in the playoffs and how much fun I was having in the hours leading up to puck drop. From having out with the squad at the office to making my way down to the Moss Pit before the game, it just felt good to have the postseason back in our wonderful city. And for the first 40 minutes of that game, it looked like the day that started out so beautifully was going to wrap up in celebration. Unfortunately, the Hockey Gords had other plans. After what was a fantastic first 40 minutes by the Oilers, the boys collapsed in spectacular fashion and ended up losing Game 1 in overtime. With a massive opportunity to tie up the series coming up in a few hours, I then dove into what needs to happen for the Oilers to get the job done in Game 2 and tie the series before it heads back to Los Angeles. In this week’s Righteous Sack Beating, I dove into the dummies that were throwing garbage on the ice after the OT winner and why acting like such a baby is so incredibly embarrassing. 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.
