Better Lait Than Never

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 talked about the Oilers' trades at the deadline, the first few games for our new friends, a tough luck run of injuries, and much more.I kicked off this week's episode with a look at the Oilers' games since the NHL Trade Deadline. Now that our new friends have had three games each under their belts (kinda), I wanted to offer my first take on how they've done so far. Spoiler: I've been impressed. Of course, it can't all be good news around here, can it? Last night in Colorado, the Oilers picked up a win in a very intense game, but lost a trio of players in the process. Why can't we have nice things? Even with the men down, I'd be lying if I said the Kool-Aid wasn't going down a little smoother after beating both Vegas and Colorado.Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating from Dooks before closing out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was quieter this week, but I still had a good time with everyone's takes landing all over the place. 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?

We’re still a couple of days out from the NHL Trade Deadline, and Stan Bowman pulled off another trade to move Andrew Mangiapane and a conditional 1st round pick in 2027 to the Chicago Blackhawks for Jason Dickinson and Colton Dach. I gave my first take on the trade, read Nation Citizen feedback, and tried to figure out how this move fits into the larger puzzle. 💻 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

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 talked about the Oilers' trading for Connor Murphy, the NHL Trade deadline, defensive/goaltending woes, and much more.I kicked off this week's episode with a look at the NHL Trade Deadline and how the Oilers got started early by moving a 2nd round pick to Chicago in exchange for Connor Murphy. Known as a shutdown d-man, the expectation is that Murphy will come in and help stabilize the back end. And with the insanely tough schedule the Oilers have on deck, they'll need all the help they can get. Sticking with the trade deadline, I also looked at some of the other rumours and noise surrounding the team right now, and offered my take on how likely any of these moves are to happen. Will I be right? Never. Will I guess anyway? Absolutely.Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a quick Righteous Sack Beating before closing out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was alive again this week, and everyone's takes ranged from what you're nerdy about to Oilers talk and everything in between.

The Oilers made a trade!

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 talked about the Oilers' return to the ice, the gold medal loss, the upcoming NHL trade deadline, and much more.I kicked off this week's episode with a look back at the gold medal game and how the heartbreak of losing on both the men's and women's sides will last for a minute. While both games were certainly exciting, it's unfortunate that Canada fell in OT on both occasions. Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the boys kick off the stretch drive of their schedule tonight in Anaheim, which means a whole different flavour of stress is on deck for the fanbase. While the winter games were certainly intense, no one has forgotten the Oilers' struggles leading into the break, and time is running out on whether they can turn the ship around.Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a quick Righteous Sack Beating before closing out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was busy again because of no show last week, and everyone's takes ranged from what you're nerdy about to Oilers talk and everything in between.

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 talked about the Oilers' coaching conversation, Paul Coffey's return, the winter Olympics, Snowmageddon, and much more.I kicked off this week's episode with a look at the Winter Olympics and how I'm starting to get sad that we're already more than halfway through the games. I love the Winter Games, and it's always such a bummer when they wrap because it means we have to wait another four years to watch weird sports again. I also spent some time digging into a Real Life Podcast story from Oshawa, which we covered a couple of weeks ago, after I found a Reddit thread dedicated to the situation that is too funny not to read. And if you're wondering, I did talk about the Oilers a little bit, too.Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a quick Righteous Sack Beating before closing out the podcast with another round of voicemails.

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 talked about the Oilers' coaching conversation, trade rumours, the winter Olympics, spring in February, and much more.I kicked off this week's episode with a look at the Winter Olympics and how I'm having so much fun watching sports in Milan that I would never normally consume. Whether it's cross-country skiing, ski jumping, or anything in between, watching these athletes do their thing at the highest level is my favourite thing to do every four years. Whether it's the rumours of ski jump injections or a Norwegian medalist's confession to cheating on his girlfriend, the first few days of the Milan games have been so much damned fun. And if you're wondering, I did talk about the Oilers a little bit, too.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.

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 talked about the Oilers' defence coming up big, Edmonton's 10th attempt at winning three straight, Josh Samanski's first NHL game, and much more.I kicked off this week's episode with a look at the Jasper Pond Hockey tournament and how this year's tournament was as amazing as ever. That gave me another chance to talk about how everyone needs to get involved if you're able, because it really is an experience like no other. Shifting back to the Oilers, I started with the run of NHL records set by Edmonton's defence, and how unreal that run of secondary scoring has been. We all want the Oilers to score more goals, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who expected such an explosion from the back end.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.

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 talked about the Oilers' inability to string wins together, Tristan Jarry's first home start, Curtis Lazar's 600th game, and much more.I kicked off this week's episode with a quick recap of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' 1000th game and how cool it was to be in the building for the milestone. Next up was a discussion about why the Oilers cannot seem to win three straight games to save their lives. They've had nine opportunities to string some wins together this season, but for whatever reason, they simply cannot get that third one to go through. Last night, the boys played for 20 minutes instead of a full sixty, but the result was the same. I also spent a few minutes talking about Curtis Lazar's 600th NHL game, and how he's turned himself into a player I want to see in Edmonton's lineup every night.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.
