Oilers look to punch their ticket to Round 2 with a Game 5 win

Wednesday afternoon means a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never is all and ready to massage your earholes and carry you through the rest of the week. This week, we're talking about my time in Vancouver, Kris Knoblauch giving Calvin Pickard the Game 4 start, a little bit of pop culture, and whatever else is going on.I started this week's podcast with a general dose of shenanigans, including a couple of TV reviews and a quick recap of our trip to Vancouver for Games 1 and 2. As you'll hear, our trip to Vancouver was an eventful one and it started right from the moment we landed. Needless to say, we got a lot done while we were down there, and when you mix in two spicy games between the Oilers and Canucks, you've got the makings of all kinds of adventure.Getting into the news, how could I not start with last night's massive Game 4 win at Rogers Place? In the NHL playoffs, Game 4 is always the swing game, and the Oilers were either going to tie things up or find themselves in a 3-1 hole that would be very difficult to climb out of. The good news is that Calvin Pickard — yes, Calvin "Cal our Pal" Pickard — stepped into his first-ever playoff start and gave the boys the kind of backstopping they needed to close out the win.Lastly, I wrapped up this week's show with a guest RSB and capped things off with another round of voicemails ranging from Oilers talk to Woz's appreciation of birds and everything in between. Once again, this podcast always makes me laugh, and I'm so very grateful for the levels of participation by the wonderful BLTN community that keeps moving.

How about an early episode of Better Lait Than Never to preview the upcoming second round against the Vancouver Canucks, the NHL playoffs, the return of Milf Manor, and a whole lot more. Welcome to a fresh BLTN, everybody.I started this week's podcast with an array of random topics ranging from the return of Milf Manor — with a new twist — and how it was a fantastic surprise to have it come back. I also talked about our plans for the week, as Tyler, Liam, Jay, and I will be heading to Vancouver tomorrow morning to cover Games 1 and 2. If you're in Vancouver or know of any Oilers fans who are, keep it locked on our social channels for details on where we'll be and when.Moving onto the news, I looked ahead at Game 1 against the Canucks that is happening tomorrow night at Rogers Arena. While many of us believe the Oilers should be the better team in this series, it's hard to ignore the lack of success Edmonton has had against the Canucks this past season. That's not to say that I don't think Edmonton will win—I absolutely do—but that doesn't mean this will be a cakewalk just because Thatcher Demko is out. That said, I'm still taking the Oilers in six.Lastly, I wrapped up this week's show with a guest RSB and capped things off with another round of voicemails ranging from Oilers talk to delivery orders and everything in between. Once again, this podcast always makes me laugh, and I'm so very grateful for the levels of participation by the wonderful BLTN community that keeps moving. Oh, and subscribe to my YouTube channel.

Last night at Rogers Place, the Edmonton Oilers finished off the Los Angeles Kings to wrap up their first-round series in only five games. Over the past three years, this series went from taking seven games to six games down to five games to get through, and I felt that meant the need for a quick emergency podcast to discuss the win. What's funny to me about this year's series is that I actually think the Kings got worse with the PLD trade and how he was such a non-factor in the series that it must drive L.A. fans nuts.Either way, the Oilers are through to the second round, and now we have to wait and see who they get. Will it be the Canucks or the Predators? Currently, Vancouver leads that series 3-2, but that doesn't really seem like much of a lock, given how the rest of the games have played out. Could Nashville come back? I think they might be able to, especially when you remember that they should probably be leading had it not been for two minutes of horrific defence to wrap up Game 4. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/himynameisbaggedmilk/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jsbmbaggedmilkSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Duraguard Fence LTD: https://www.duraguardfence.ca/👍🏼 Star Mechanical: https://starmechanical.ca/ 👍🏼 bet365: http://bet365.com Hosted on Acast.

Wednesday can only mean your third-favourite podcaster is back with a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never to discuss tonight's elimination game against the Kings and whatever else is going on in our lives. Welcome to a fresh BLTN, everybody.To kick off this week's podcast, I started by looking back at our trip to L.A. and how it was one of the busiest trips we've ever had. From the articles up on the site to the room podcasts to the live shows at First Draft DTLA, those four days in Los Angeles were stacked up with Nation content, and it was incredible how much we were able to get done. Kicking off the news, I looked ahead at the Oilers' chance to eliminate the L.A. Kings and move on to the next round. While many of us believe tonight's game should be easy, watching both Vancouver and Boston fail to get the job done on Tuesday has me feeling otherwise. That's not to say that I don't think Edmonton will win—I absolutely do—but that doesn't mean closing this series out will be easy. That said, I think the Oilers are a mature enough team to get the job done. Lastly, I wrapped up this week's show with a guest RSB and capped things off with another round of voicemails ranging from Oilers talk to delivery orders and everything in between. Once again, this podcast always makes me laugh, and I'm so very grateful for the levels of participation by the wonderful BLTN community that keeps moving.

Wednesday can only mean your third-favourite podcast is back with a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never to preview Game 2 against the Kings and discuss whatever else is going on in our lives. Welcome to a fresh BLTN, everybody.There's nothing quite like playoff time in Edmonton, you know? The sun is shining, the car flags are out, and our beloved Edmonton Oilers have kicked off what is sure to be another exciting and stressful playoff run. It's the best time of year. On Monday night, I was at Rogers Place for Game 1 of their first round matchup against Los Angeles, and it was so much fun to be back in the building with that kind of energy. I cannot wait for Game 2. We'll be flying down to Los Angeles for Games 3 and 4 on Thursday, and I could not be more excited to be down there and get in the mix. The last two post-seasons in LA have been intense, and I can only imagine we're in for much the same treatment this third time around. If you've never been to a playoff game at Crypto.com Arena before, let's just say that a small segment of the fanbase can get really spicy.Lastly, I wrapped up this week's show with a guest RSB and capped things off with another round of voicemails ranging from Oilers talk to delivery orders and everything in between.

We've passed the midway point of the week, which means a fresh episode of your mom's favourite podcast is ready to massage your ear feelings. On this week's Better Lait Than Never, we're looking at Connor McDavid hitting 100 assists, potential playoff matchups, reality TV, and whatever else has been going on over the last seven days.Kicking off this week's BLTN, I started the podcast with a random collection of topics, a confession that I might be getting hooked on Survivor again. Personally, I hadn't watched the show in over a decade, but having my missus glued to the TV every Wednesday night has piqued my interest. Then again, it might just be because I found out how much money Jeff Probst makes to host every episode.Turning the podcast back toward the Oilers, I started the news with a tribute to Connor McDavid after he reached the 100-assist mark on Monday night against the San Jose Sharks. What was hilarious about that last assist, however, was that it took eight goals between the time Connor opened the scoring and when he picked up the helper he needed on Zach Hyman's 54th goal of the year. Evan Bouchard also touched some Oilers greatness against the Sharks after hitting the 80-point mark, and now, all I can think about is how much that next contract is going to cost.Lastly, I wrapped up this week's show with an RSB about the NHL schedule and capped things off with another round of voicemails that ranged from Oilers talk to landlord issues and everything in between.

We've passed the midway point of the week, which means a fresh episode of your mom's favourite podcast is ready to massage your earholes. On this week's Better Lait Than Never, we're looking at Connor McDavid's day-to-day injury, more cereal talk, playoff matchups, and whatever else has been going on over the last seven days.Kicking off this week's BLTN, I started the podcast with a random collection of topics, including a look at a birthday song that Meat Watcher made for me. We haven't heard from Meat Watch in a while, but our guy came through with another beautiful BLTN original. I also called back on our great cereal debate from a few weeks ago after buying another blast from the past and adjusting my overall cereal rankings accordingly.Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, I started the news with the big story everyone is talking about Connor McDavid is banged up and will miss tonight's game versus the Golden Knights. Listed at day-to-day, McDavid could miss a game or two while he recovers from a lower-body injury, and understandably, Oilers fans are freaking out about it. We're also losing our collective minds about the Corey Perry/Evander Kane exchange from Saturday night when the camera caught them going at it a little bit.Lastly, I wrapped up this week's podcast with a little bit of betting talk for our friends at Bet99, offered up an RSB about the Arizona Coyotes, and capped things off with another round of voicemails that ranged from Oilers talk to dating to more cereal talk and everything in between. Once again, this podcast always makes me laugh, and I'm so very grateful for the levels of participation by the wonderful BLTN community that keeps moving.

We've passed the midway point of the week, which means a fresh episode of your mom's favourite podcast is ready to massage your earholes. On this week's Better Lait Than Never, we're looking at Connor McDavid's chase for 100 assists, goal reviews, playoff matchups, and whatever else has been going on over the last seven days.Kicking off this week's BLTN, I started the podcast with a dose of random topics from the past week. From a friend of mine getting crapped on by birds to more Big Brother Canada talk to why I hated Road House, there was a lot going on this past week. Is all of this worth talking about? Probably not, but you may as well be into it, or I'll tell all of the stories twice.Getting back to the Oilers, how could I not start with some Connor McDavid talk? The guy is so hot right now that I'm legitimately concerned that he may spontaneously burst into flames. With 25 points in his last 10 games, McDavid is now 24 points away from hitting 150 on the season and 24 away from 1000 in his career. Needless to say, the captain has shaken off that "slow" start in a big way.Lastly, I wrapped up this week's podcast with a little bit of betting talk for our friends at Bet99, offered up an RSB about Peter Chiarelli, and capped things off with another round of voicemails that ranged from Oilers talk to reality TV to more cereal talk and everything in between.

I decided to drop two parts for Better Lait Than Never this week after receiving 9000 voicemails over the last seven days, which meant it was time to dig into your feedback from the week. Unsurprisingly, the voicemails were hilarious right from the jump, and it’s so much fun for me to watch this segment grow and expand over time. Now, with a bunch of new callers in the mix, the VM section of the podcast is turning into a beast all on its own. Once again, this podcast always makes me laugh, and I'm so very grateful for the levels of participation by the wonderful BLTN community that keeps moving.

We've passed the halfway point of the week, which means a fresh episode of your mom's favourite is set and ready to massage your earholes. On this week's Better Lait Than Never, we're looking at Zach Hyman's 50th goal, Connor Brown's heater, Connor McDavid chasing 100 assists, and whatever else has been going on over the last seven days.Kicking off this week's BLTN, I started the podcast with a dose of random topics from the past week. From picking up my new whip on Friday to diving into Big Brother Canada to talking about our love for pets, it was undoubtedly a busy week outside of work for yours truly. A lot of life happened in not a lot of time.Turning the show back to the Oilers, how could I not start with Zach Hyman hitting 50 goals for the first time, and how the reaction to that goal was all over the map depending on which fanbase you reside in? Even though we all knew the milestone was coming, watching him actually hit it was a moment a lot of Oilers fans will remember for a very long time.I also looked at the Evander Kane situation that has been bubbling up around here lately. The forward was scratched for maintenance for Sunday's game against the Ottawa Senators, but according to Elliotte Friedman, it seems like the move was actually a healthy scratch. Regardless of what the truth looks like, what we know to be true is that the Oilers will need Kane to be at his best down the stretch if the team is going to make noise in the playoffs.💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/himynameisbaggedmilk/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jsbmbaggedmilkSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Bet 99: https://bet99-8390734.hs-sites.com/oilersnation-b99net-giveaway👍🏼 Star Mechanical: https://starmechanical.ca/ 👍🏼 Snow Valley Aerial Park: https://www.snowvalley.ca/aerial-park/👍🏼Rainbow Valley Campground: https://www.rainbow-valley.com/Want to leave a voicemail for next week’s show?
