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 talked about the Oilers‘ recent run of games, the first few games for our new friends, a tough luck run of injuries, and much more.

I kicked off this week’s episode by diving right into the Oilers talk, starting with Connor McDavid’s unbelievable heater that he’s on right now. As much as we’re lucky to watch Connor’s brilliance nightly, seeing him take over games over the last little while has been a true pleasure. I also touched on Evan Bouchard’s Norris bid and how fascinating the whiplash can be with him if a game goes off the rails, as it did against Utah. Yet, even with the rollercoaster that has been the 2025-26 season, the Oilers still have a very real chance to get their first division win since 1987.

Finally, I wrapped up this week’s episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about fake spring before closing out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was quieter this week, but I had a great time with everyone’s takes landing all over the place. 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.
