  • A long Oilers offseason, pressure on Stan Bowman, and the NHL draft lottery
    May 6 2026

    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 getting bumped from the playoffs, a long summer ahead, pressure on Stan Bowman, and more.


    I kicked off this week's episode with a quick recap of what's been happening since the Oilers got knocked out in Round 1 of the NHL playoffs. With the exit interviews now behind us, the thing that stuck out to me the most was how honest the leadership group was with their assessment. Both Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid gave incredibly honest feedback on where the team is, their concerns, and the timelines Stan Bowman has to turn this thing around. Needless to say, the pressure on the Oilers' management to get this right is as high today as it's likely ever been.


    Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a pair of guest Righteous Sack Beatings, then closed out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was alive this week after the playoff exit, and I had a great time with everyone's takes on whatever you wanted to talk about. 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. Want to leave a voicemail for next week’s show? Do it here!

  • Can the Oilers push this series to Game 7?
    Apr 29 2026

    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' Game 5 win over the Ducks, what needs to happen in Game 6, the star players stepping up, and more.


    I kicked off this week's episode with a quick recap of Game 5 between the Oilers and Ducks after our boys found themselves on the ropes in an elimination game. With Edmonton's win pushing the series to at least six games, there are plenty of good things to carry over, but it was also impossible to ignore how much they sat back and let the Ducks push for the comeback. If the Oilers are going to win on the road to drag this series back to Berta, they'll need to keep the pedal to the floor a whole lot more than they did. That is, of course, unless they can just figure out how to kick another field goal in the first period again.


    Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about protecting star players before closing out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was alive this week, and I had a great time with everyone's takes on whatever you wanted to talk about. 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.

  • The Oilers can put the Ducks on the ropes with a Game 2 win
    Apr 22 2026

    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' Game 1 win over the Ducks, Jason Dickinson's brilliant night, Kasperi Kapanen's game-winner, and more.


    I kicked off this week's episode with a quick recap of Game 1 between the Oilers and Ducks after I found my way into the building despite not really thinking I'd go. As excited as I was about the playoffs being back, I was also nervous about the Oilers bucking the trend we've seen in series openers over the last few years. And while we ultimately got the result we wanted, getting that win was not without challenges. The good news is that the Oilers overcame the adversity they created for themselves, completing a third-period comeback to cash in on Game 1. Needless to say, I'd like to see the boys be a little tighter with the puck as the series rolls along.


    Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating before closing out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was much more lively this week, and I had a great time with everyone's takes on whatever you wanted to talk about. 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.
