  • Oilers get a run of monster offensive performances from the defence
    Jan 28 2026

    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. The voicemail was alive this week, and everyone's takes ranged from what you're nerdy about to Oilers talk and everything in between. 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.

  • Winning three straight is the Oilers' Everest
    Jan 21 2026

    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. The voicemail was alive this week, and everyone's takes ranged from what you're nerdy about to Oilers talk and everything in between.

  • Oilers get Tristan Jarry and Jake Walman back, and the non-McDavid heaters
    Jan 14 2026

    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 Connor McDavid' heater, Tristan Jarry's return, Jake Walman, and much more.


    I kicked off this week's episode with a look at the heaters that are happening throughout the Oilers' lineup right now, and while Connor McDavid is understandably getting all of the attention, there are a couple of other guys who are nearly as hot as the captain. From there, I offered the latest updates on Trent Frederic and Andrew Mangiapane after both guys returned to the lineup this past week, following some well-deserved time in the press box. Finally, I tried to figure out what to expect from Edmonton's goaltending situation after Tristan Jarry returned to the crease Tuesday night in Nashville.


    Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about windrows, then closed out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was alive this week, and everyone's takes were all over the map and very fun for me to listen to. 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.
