Calvin Pickard, Evan Bouchard, and the Oilers tie the series at two

I didn't get a chance to get through the voicemails in yesterday's episode, so I decided to go back-to-back with and work through what you've been thinking about over the last week or so. Keep leaving your takes, please, because this is honestly one of my favourite parts of the week. I love hearing from you. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/himynameisbaggedmilk/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jsbmbaggedmilkSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼 Star Mechanical: https://starmechanical.ca/ 👍🏼 bet365: http://bet365.com Hosted on Acast.

We're in the hours leading up to Game 4, and the Oilers find themselves in a familiar, albeit uncomfortable position. Win, and the series is tied, lose, and they'll backed into a corner. That's life in the playoffs when you can't stop shooting yourselves in the foot.I started this week's podcast with a quick recap of our trip down to Dallas and how it was a welcomed change after spending the first two rounds in Los Angeles and Vancouver. Unlike our first two stops, the people in Dallas were incredibly friendly and seemed almost amazed that we would fly all the way to Texas to watch the Oilers play in their rink. We had drinks bought for us, plenty of conversations on what we thought of the city, tips on what to do and where to eat, and to be honest, I had a hard time disliking any of them.Turning back to the Oilers, there was plenty of news and noise surrounding the team after Monday's Game 3 loss, and one guy who took more shrapnel than anyone was Darnell Nurse. Ol' Darryl has struggled mightily at points in the playoffs, but the reality is that the Oilers are going to need him if they're going to get back into this series. I personally believe that he's so much better than what we're getting from him right now, and I really hope he can find a way back there before it's too late.Want to leave a voicemail for next week’s show?

The Oilers are one sleep away from kicking off the Western Conference Final against the Dallas Stars, which meant I had plenty to talk about on today's episode of Better Lait Than Never.I started the podcast with a couple of odds and ends from the end of the Vancouver series that I forgot to cover in yesterday's reaction episode of Better Lait Than Never before distracting myself and ending up on a rant about MILF Manor 2. If you haven't watched that show, it's arguably the dumbest program to ever grace the silver screen, and that's the exact reason I love it. Horrible TV + Baggedmilk = Happiness.Turning the podcast back toward the Oilers, I got into the news with a look back at some of the incredible stats that came out after Game 7 put the boys into the next round. Looking at Edmonton's top players, it's amazing to see where the numbers some of them put up rank amongst the best to ever do it. As we head off to Dallas for the Western Conference Final, the Oilers will undoubtedly need their big dogs to keep eating, but they'll also need to get more from down in the lineup. I mean, there's no better way to battle Dallas' depth than with depth goals of our own, am I right?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 sad/happy Round 2 reactions and everything in between. Once again, this podcast really is one of my favourite parts of the week, and I'm so very grateful for the levels of participation by the wonderful BLTN community that keeps moving.

Last night, the Oilers knocked the Canucks out in Game 7 and punched their ticket to Dallas for the Western Conference Final. For the second time in three years, the boys find themselves in the final four and will be looking for a much better showing than the last time they got this far in the playoffs.And since we’re all so excited about what’s to come, I felt like it was the perfect time for a quick emergency episode of BLTN to break down the series and look ahead at what’s to come. And since my hatred of Dallas is burning as brightly now as it was 20 years ago, this WCF between the Oilers and Stars is going to be a spicy 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!!👍🏼 Star Mechanical: https://starmechanical.ca/ 👍🏼 bet365: http://bet365.com Hosted on Acast.

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.
