We all made it back from the #NationVacation to Las Vegas in one piece, and now it&#8217;s time to get back to business with a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never. On this week&#8217;s podcast, I&#8217;m talking about Vegas, Evander Kane, Jesse Puljujarvi, and how much of a difference a week can make.
To kick off the show, I spent the first few minutes recapping what was undoubtedly an amazing <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2023/01/16/nationvacation-diaries-pres-by-ama-travel-another-amazing-trip-to-vegas/">#NationVacation down to Las Vegas</a> with a group of really incredible people. But since we did an on-location show on Saturday afternoon, I didn&#8217;t want to spend too much time saying the same things over and over again. The point here was just to say thank you to everyone that makes these trips so special, and I cannot wait until March when we head to Toronto with another fantastic crew. Changing gears, how could I not spend a few minutes talking about <a href="https://variety.com/lists/milf-manor-cast-photos-moms-tlc-dating-show/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MILF Manor</a>, which could be the greatest TV concept of all time. That&#8217;s not to say that the show isn&#8217;t without its issues, but dammit did I ever laugh as I was watching the first episode. Getting back to the Oilers, it&#8217;s pretty amazing how much can change in a week as the team not only saw Evander Kane return to the lineup but also rattled off four straight wins against Pacific Division opponents. Sure, you can say that <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2023/01/11/game-43-wrap-up-edmonton-oilers-were-in-control-from-start-to-finish-light-anaheim-ducks-up-for-6-2-win/">Anaheim</a> and <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2023/01/13/gdb-44-0-wrap-up-birthday-boy-connor-mcdavid-leads-edmonton-oilers-in-7-1-win-over-san-jose-sharks/">San Jose</a> are terrible — we all know that&#8217;s the case — but to also come up with big efforts against <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2023/01/14/gdb-45-0-wrap-up-edmonton-oilers-beat-vegas-golden-knights-4-3/">Vegas</a> and <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2023/01/17/game-46-recap-secondary-scoring-is-beautiful-edmonton-oilers-extending-win-streak-with-5-2-win-over-seattle-kraken/">Seattle</a> should be celebrated. I also touched on the latest roster news that&#8217;s happened over the past couple of days as the team had to make a flurry of moves to be able to fit Kane in under the cap. We also saw Jesse Puljujarvi get healthy scratched last night, which kicked off a hornet&#8217;s nest on social media after Tyler broke the news on Twitter. Is this the beginning of the end for the Bison King? I covered this and more in the latest episode of the podcast. 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.
