  • A busy Oilers contract week, the season opener, and more goalie talk

    A busy Oilers contract week, the season opener, and more goalie talk
    Oct 10 2025

    It's been a busy week around here, and I've got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to hit your ear holes with another dose of Oilers adjacent shenanigans. On today’s podcast, I talked about Ryder and Lisa’s show announcement that will be coming to ON in November, the Oilers’ season opener, and a handful of contract extensions that locked in key pieces on the roster. Between the nostalgia, excitement, and chaos, it’s been one of those weeks that makes you realize how deeply this city lives and breathes both its media and its hockey team.


    With the 2025–26 campaign officially underway, there’s no shortage of storylines to dive into. Connor McDavid’s extension finally dropped, Mattias Ekholm is sticking around, and Jake Walman secured a new deal to keep Edmonton’s blue line steady for years to come. From roster chemistry to expectations for opening night, I went through it all. Needless to say, there’s plenty to celebrate, plenty to debate, and a whole lot to be excited about as the Oilers get back to business.


    Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating before wrapping up the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was alive this week, and the messages were as varied as they were entertaining. The voicemail is always a fun 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, because having all of you in the mix makes the show so much better.

    Oct 8 2025
    Nothing like a good news week for our beloved Edmonton Oilers to raise the vibes around here in the hours leading up to the season opener. So when Mattias Ekholm's contract extension was announced earlier this morning, I knew I had to jump on with another emergency pod.

    Connor McDavid and Jake Walman signed extensions today and that meant I had to jump on for a quick emergency pod. Am I excited? Yes. Did I swear more than ever before? Also yes.
