It's Wednesday smack dab in the middle of the NHL dead zone, which means a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never is ready to recap what was another slow news week in Edmonton. On today's podcast, I discussed some of the wild Oilers rumours, wedding season, the Matthew Tkachuk NHL '26 cover, and whatever else has happened over the last seven days.
We're smack dab in the middle of the off-season dead zone, which meant there wasn't a whole lot of Oilers news to talk about this week, but I did check off the Edmonton-related items that came across my feed. Starting with what was a busy wedding week for the Oilers, Leon Draisaitl was the big one that everyone was talking about, as many of his current and former teammates congregated in France for the big day. From there, I ran through a list of items from insane rumours to Tyler Wright ending up in Los Angeles to four Oilers being invited to Olympic orientation camp.
Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a pair of Righteous Sack Beatings before wrapping up the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was quiet but mighty this week, and as always, the messages were still as fun as ever. The voicemails are a fun 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, because having all of you in the mix makes the show so much better.
