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 discussed the Oilers’ potential playoff opponents, injury updates, Connor McDavid’s willingness to carry this team forward, and more.

I kicked off this week’s episode with a look at the renewed beef between Chris Pronger and Kevin Lowe after the former’s new book came out and shed some light on what went sideways in Edmonton. If you take Pronger at his word, the decision was made solely on trying to keep peace in his family. From Kevin Lowe’s standpoint, however, his description of those events didn’t really hold water. Changing gears, I looked ahead at the Oilers’ playoff position and how wild it is that we still don’t know who Edmonton will play or where they’ll start, with only a single game left on the schedule. Combine that uncertainty with the unknowns of when some key players will be back in the lineup, and you’ve got the makings of a very nervous fanbase around here.

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 very quiet 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.
