It’s Wednesday afternoon, and the Edmonton Oilers are struggling, which means there is plenty to talk about in today’s episode of Better Lait Than Never. On this week’s podcast, I discuss the Oilers’ four-game losing streak, Leon Draisaitl’s heater, trade deadline needs, and much more.

I kicked off this week’s podcast by thanking the Gords for snapping the streak of cold weather we’ve been battling in Edmonton over the last two weeks. It may be a small thing, but just being able to go outside and walk my dog this week has been a huge win. I also took listeners behind the scenes a little bit about what we’re working on ahead of the trade deadline, including our Daily Faceoff Trade Deadline special.

Turning the podcast to the Oilers, it doesn’t take much searching to see how upset the fanbase is right now after a run of putrid games put the team on their first four-game losing streak of the season. It’s not all bad news, though, as Leon Draisaitl continues to light the world on fire, and Matthew Savoie is looking like he could be a damned good player for a long time. That said, with less than two weeks left until the trade deadline, a lot of us are getting antsy about what Stan Bowman may or may not do at the league’s annual swap ‘n shop.

Finally, I wrapped up this quick episode of BLTN with a pair of guest Righteous Sack Beatings, before wrapping up the show with another round of voicemails that were all over the map. The inbox was alive again this week, and I got plenty of laughs from your ideas, feedback, and voicemails. As always, I sat back and laughed while listening to everything that’s been on your mind over the last seven days.
