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‘ trades at the deadline, the first few games for our new friends, a tough luck run of injuries, and much more.
I kicked off this week’s episode with a quick recap of our Nation Vacation to Vegas, then moved on to the horrible world of reality TV dating shows that I love so much. Did that transition make any sense? No. But this is my show, and I can do what I want. Turning the podcast to the Oilers, it’s hard not to be excited about this team right now. Our boys are playing their best hockey of the season at the most important time of the year, and it’s almost amazing to watch, given how sideways things were going even a few weeks ago. To say that this season has been a rollercoaster would be the understatement of a lifetime.
Finally, I wrapped up this week’s episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about getting old 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.
