I may be a day late with this week&#8217;s episode of Better Lait Than Never, but I do plan to get the podcast back on track now that the holiday season is over. On this week&#8217;s show, I discussed the Dollars for Dogs campaign, new Edmonton Oilers line combinations, rumours about the Vancouver Canucks, and a whole lot more.
I kicked off this week&#8217;s podcast with an update about the Dollars for Dogs campaign after I got a few new bids since I last recorded, which means the pressure is steadily rising now that the per-dog total is rising. I also talked about living out some childhood dreams after buying myself a new toy yesterday, and while I don&#8217;t usually splurge on electronics all that often, I&#8217;d be lying if I said I wasn&#8217;t having fun so far.
Turning the show toward the Oilers, I finally ended my in-person losing streak after attending the New Year&#8217;s Eve win over the Utah Hockey Club. If I&#8217;m being honest, I was nervous going into Rogers Place on the 31st for two reasons: 1) the boys hadn&#8217;t won with me in the bar in a while, and 2) the Oilers&#8217; record on NYE tends to stink anyway. Fortunately, it all worked out after some key performances by the team&#8217;s best players.
Finally, I wrapped up this quick episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about trade deadline expectations before wrapping up the show with another round of voicemails. The inbox was quieter again this week, but I still got a healthy chuckle from your ideas, feedback, and voicemails. As always, I sat back and laughed while listening to everything that&#8217;s been on your mind over the last seven days.

Better Lait Than Never podcast Leon Draisaitl

I may be a day late with this week's episode of Better Lait Than Never, but I do plan to get the podcast back on track now that the holiday season is over.
