It's the Wednesday after the boys dusted off the Vegas Golden Knights, which means a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never is ready to recap yet another Edmonton Oilers series win while also looking back at the week that was. On today's podcast, I looked ahead to the Western Conference Final, examined how the Oilers' depth outplayed the Golden Knights, discussed Mattias Ekholm's potential return, and more.

The Oilers are kicking off their third trip to the Western Conference Final in the last four seasons, and that has the city buzzing about whether our boys can get through to the big dance for a second straight season. Standing in their way is a Dallas Stars team that has rolled through the first two rounds, and it will be a significant challenge for our boys to keep their offence at bay. While many of us are understandably focused on Mikko Rantanen's playoff success, a number of Dallas' depth players have been held in check through their first eight wins, and Edmonton will need to keep those players quiet if they want to get through this series.

Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating before wrapping up the podcast with a massive round of voicemails. The voicemail was very busy this week, and the messages were all over the map. As always, finishing up the show with your opinions is my favourite part of the whole thing and something I always look forward to most. 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.

It's the Thursday after the boys dusted off the Vegas Golden Knights, which means a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never is ready to recap yet another Edmonton Oilers series win while also looking back at the week that was. On today's podcast, I recapped last night's Game 5 win, how the Oilers' depth beat the Golden Knights, Kasperi Kapanen's OT winner, and much more.

Even though I usually start the podcast with some kind of personal life updates about TV shows, music, or whatever else has been going on, all I wanted to do today was talk about the Oilers. With that in mind, I skipped the usual small talk and dove right into my takes about the boys punting the Golden Knights out of the playoffs in only five games. When I last recorded BLTN, the Oilers had just won Game 1 and had a chance to steal a second game on the road, taking command of the series. Just over a week later, our boys not only got that first job done, but they ended up winning three of the next four.

Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating before wrapping up the podcast with a massive round of voicemails. The voicemail was very busy this week, and the messages were all over the map.

It's the Wednesday after Game 1 of Round 2, which means a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never is ready to recap yet another Edmonton Oilers comeback win while also looking back at the week that was. On today's podcast, I recapped last night's win, what the Oilers need to do to pull away in the series, playoff Connor Brown, and much more.

I started this week's podcast with an admission that I've once again made poor life choices on a school night. Seeing as the Oilers and Golden Knights kicked off their series last night, I felt it was necessary to have a few adult beverages to celebrate the occasion. The result, of course, is that I feel like death today, which made accomplishing my day-to-day tasks 200% more difficult. Even so, I was in a great mood after the Oilers won their series opener, which is certainly not the case for some Oilers fans around here.

Turning my full attention back to the Oilers, I started with a recap of Game 1 between the Oilers and Golden Knights, and how a big win like that sets the table for a strong finish. I mean, yeah it would have been great if the boys hadn't needed to come up with a fifth straight comeback win — a new NHL record — but I'd be lying if I pretended it wasn't exciting to watch. A big part of that comeback was the result of the depth scoring coming through once again, which led to me spending the next handful of minutes pumping tires for a few of our boys.

Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating before wrapping up the podcast with a massive round of voicemails. The voicemail was alive again this week, and the messages were very funny and all over the map. As always, finishing up the show with your opinions is my favourite part of the whole thing and something I always look forward to most. Another hearty thank you to everyone who contributed to this week's episode because having you in the mix makes the show so much better.
