Better Lait Than Never

e still right in the middle of the off-season dead zone, but I've still got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready what little has happened anyway. On today’s podcast, I discussed Connor McDavid's EA Sports ranking, the whining about it online, the Blue Jays being fun, and more. Needless to say, it's been a busy week around here.I kicked off this week's episode with a recap of the only thing we can talk about this summer: reality dating shows. Since there is basically nothing happening for the Oilers or around the NHL, I have all the time in the world to sit and watch the trashiest shows on TV because I'm an adult and no one can stop me. Less embarrassingly, I've also spent a bunch of time watching the Blue Jays try and force their way back into the playoff picture. And after the run they've had lately, it's basically impossible to not jump on that bandwagon again. Even if you've been watching the whole time, this team is playing a fun flavour of baseball right now.Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a little bit of Elks talk before wrapping up the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was weird this week since I haven't done it in a while, but I still had a great time hearing everyone's thoughts on whatever it is that you wanted to talk about. The voicemail is the best 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?

There was some big news around The Nation Network that launched this morning, and that's why I wanted to bring Jay Downton on the podcast to discuss what's new, what's happening, and why we've decide to move Oilersnation under the Daily Faceoff umbrella.💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/himynameisbaggedmilk/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jsbmbaggedmilkSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼 Sports Interaction: https://www.sportsinteraction.com/oilersnation

This week, I wanted to jump on quickly to recap everything that's been happening with the Oilers over the last couple of weeks — nothing is the answer — while also giving some updates that have been going on at Nation HQ. Given that we're in the midst of holiday season right now, finding sports topics to talk about isn't exactly the easiest exercise when you're podcasting by yourself.💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/himynameisbaggedmilk/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jsbmbaggedmilkSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼 Sports Interaction: https://www.sportsinteraction.com/oilersnation

England lost to Argentina in the World Cup semi finals, and I brought Woz onto the podcast to help make sense of it all. We also talked about his food reviews that he's been doing as well as the limited Oilers news that's happened over the last couple of weeks.

I jumped into the studio with Zach Laing to recap everything the Oilers got done on day 1 of NHL free agency. And after losing yesterday's attempt at the podcast, the boys ended up actually having more to talk about than they did yesterday. From getting a pair of new goalies to trading Darnell Nurse, Stan Bowman was able to get a bunch of work done without breaking the bank on any of it. And for a fanbase who has been hurt more than once in free agency over the last few years, it’s hard not to feel as though the organization absolutely nailed this one. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/himynameisbaggedmilk/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jsbmbaggedmilkSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼 Sports Interaction: https://www.sportsinteraction.com/oilersnation

Another day, another podcast, but with all of my takes out in the open already, I decided to change the format on this week's pod and lean into your thoughts with a voicemail episode. As a pleasant surprise, David Quadrelli from Canucksarmy called in and gave his takes on what's been happening in Edmonton, what it's like to be in a press conference, and shared his own Mike Babcock impression that he's been working on. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/himynameisbaggedmilk/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jsbmbaggedmilkSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼 Sports Interaction: https://www.sportsinteraction.com/oilersnation

Three emergency podcasts in a row? Why not!? Today, the Oilers officially announced Mike Babcock as their new head coach, so I jumped back in the studio for another 25-minute breakdown of what went down.💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/himynameisbaggedmilk/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jsbmbaggedmilkSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼 Sports Interaction: https://www.sportsinteraction.com/oilersnation

Another day, another emergency podcast! This morning, the Oilers announced that they had re-signed Connor Murphy to a five-year extension that carries a $4.1 million AAV. Naturally, we needed to talk about it. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/himynameisbaggedmilk/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jsbmbaggedmilkSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼 Sports Interaction: https://www.sportsinteraction.com/oilersnation

The Oilers checked off one of their to-dos on Sunday morning when the team re-signed Jason Dickinson to a five-year, $20 million dollar contract extension. Naturally, we needed to talk about it. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/himynameisbaggedmilk/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jsbmbaggedmilkSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼 Sports Interaction: https://www.sportsinteraction.com/oilersnation
