Better Lait Than Never

I jumped into the studio with Zach Laing to recap everything the Oilers got done on day 1 of NHL free agency. And after losing yesterday's attempt at the podcast, the boys ended up actually having more to talk about than they did yesterday. From getting a pair of new goalies to trading Darnell Nurse, Stan Bowman was able to get a bunch of work done without breaking the bank on any of it. And for a fanbase who has been hurt more than once in free agency over the last few years, it’s hard not to feel as though the organization absolutely nailed this 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!!👍🏼 Sports Interaction: https://www.sportsinteraction.com/oilersnation Hosted on Acast.

Three emergency podcasts in a row? Why not!? Today, the Oilers officially announced Mike Babcock as their new head coach, so I jumped back in the studio for another 25-minute breakdown of what went down.💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/himynameisbaggedmilk/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jsbmbaggedmilkSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼 Sports Interaction: https://www.sportsinteraction.com/oilersnation Hosted on Acast.

The Oilers checked off one of their to-dos on Sunday morning when the team re-signed Jason Dickinson to a five-year, $20 million dollar contract extension. Naturally, we needed to talk about it. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/himynameisbaggedmilk/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jsbmbaggedmilkSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼 Sports Interaction: https://www.sportsinteraction.com/oilersnation Hosted on Acast.

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 discussed the Stanley Cup Final, coaching candidates, summer TV binging, and more. Needless to say, we're in full offseason mode around here.I kicked off this week's episode with a run-through of the Stanley Cup Final and how this could be a nightmare final pairing if you're a grudge keeper like me. Not only do I despite the Golden Knights as a divisional rival, but I've also hated the Carolina Hurricanes since they beat the Oilers back in 2006. How does one choose between two awful outcomes? It's impossible, I say. From there, I looked at the latest news surrounding the Edmonton Oilers. Despite these being quiet days ahead of silly szn kicking off for the draft and free agency, there are some major decisions ahead for our beloved franchise, and that meant there's always something to talk about even if not much is happening.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 quieter this week, but even so, I still had a great time hearing everyone's thoughts on whatever you wanted to talk about. The voicemail is my favourite 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. Want to leave a voicemail for next week’s show?

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 discussed the Oilers' coaching debacle, Vegas' gamesmanship, pressure on the management group, and more. Needless to say, it's been a busy week around here.I kicked off this week's episode with a quick recap of the Oilers' coaching drama that kicked off after Frank Seravalli broke the story that Edmonton reached out to Vegas for an interview with Bruce Cassidy. While it absolutely makes sense that the Oilers would do their due diligence before making a change behind the bench, the fact that the news broke before they gassed Kris Knoblauch certainly didn't look good. Either way, the Oilers' most important summer in ages started off a little rocky, and it's going to be fascinating to see how and if they can pull themselves out of this tailspin.Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating, then closed out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was alive again this week, and, as always, I had a wonderful time with everyone's takes on whatever you wanted to talk about. 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.

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 discussed the Oilers' Game 5 win over the Ducks, what needs to happen in Game 6, the star players stepping up, and more.I kicked off this week's episode with a quick recap of Game 5 between the Oilers and Ducks after our boys found themselves on the ropes in an elimination game. With Edmonton's win pushing the series to at least six games, there are plenty of good things to carry over, but it was also impossible to ignore how much they sat back and let the Ducks push for the comeback. If the Oilers are going to win on the road to drag this series back to Berta, they'll need to keep the pedal to the floor a whole lot more than they did. That is, of course, unless they can just figure out how to kick another field goal in the first period again.Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about protecting star players before closing out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was alive this week, and I had a great time with everyone's takes on whatever you wanted to talk about.

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 discussed the Oilers' potential playoff opponents, injury updates, Connor McDavid's willingness to carry this team forward, and more.I kicked off this week's episode with a look at the renewed beef between Chris Pronger and Kevin Lowe after the former's new book came out and shed some light on what went sideways in Edmonton. If you take Pronger at his word, the decision was made solely on trying to keep peace in his family. From Kevin Lowe's standpoint, however, his description of those events didn't really hold water. Changing gears, I looked ahead at the Oilers' playoff position and how wild it is that we still don't know who Edmonton will play or where they'll start, with only a single game left on the schedule. Combine that uncertainty with the unknowns of when some key players will be back in the lineup, and you've got the makings of a very nervous fanbase around here.Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about fake spring before closing out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was very quiet this week, but I had a great time with everyone's takes landing all over the place.

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' trades at the deadline, the first few games for our new friends, a tough luck run of injuries, and much more.I kicked off this week's episode with a quick recap of our Nation Vacation to Vegas, then moved on to the horrible world of reality TV dating shows that I love so much. Did that transition make any sense? No. But this is my show, and I can do what I want. Turning the podcast to the Oilers, it's hard not to be excited about this team right now. Our boys are playing their best hockey of the season at the most important time of the year, and it's almost amazing to watch, given how sideways things were going even a few weeks ago. To say that this season has been a rollercoaster would be the understatement of a lifetime.Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about getting old before closing out the podcast with another round of voicemails.

On today’s podcast, I talked about the Oilers' trades at the deadline, the first few games for our new friends, a tough luck run of injuries, and much more.I kicked off this week's episode with a look at the Oilers' games since the NHL Trade Deadline. Now that our new friends have had three games each under their belts (kinda), I wanted to offer my first take on how they've done so far. Spoiler: I've been impressed. Of course, it can't all be good news around here, can it? Last night in Colorado, the Oilers picked up a win in a very intense game, but lost a trio of players in the process. Why can't we have nice things? Even with the men down, I'd be lying if I said the Kool-Aid wasn't going down a little smoother after beating both Vegas and Colorado.Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating from Dooks before closing out the podcast with another round of voicemails.

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' trading for Connor Murphy, the NHL Trade deadline, defensive/goaltending woes, and much more.I kicked off this week's episode with a look at the NHL Trade Deadline and how the Oilers got started early by moving a 2nd round pick to Chicago in exchange for Connor Murphy. Known as a shutdown d-man, the expectation is that Murphy will come in and help stabilize the back end. And with the insanely tough schedule the Oilers have on deck, they'll need all the help they can get. Sticking with the trade deadline, I also looked at some of the other rumours and noise surrounding the team right now, and offered my take on how likely any of these moves are to happen. Will I be right? Never. Will I guess anyway? Absolutely.Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a quick Righteous Sack Beating before closing out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was alive again this week, and everyone's takes ranged from what you're nerdy about to Oilers talk and everything in between.

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' return to the ice, the gold medal loss, the upcoming NHL trade deadline, and much more.I kicked off this week's episode with a look back at the gold medal game and how the heartbreak of losing on both the men's and women's sides will last for a minute. While both games were certainly exciting, it's unfortunate that Canada fell in OT on both occasions. Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the boys kick off the stretch drive of their schedule tonight in Anaheim, which means a whole different flavour of stress is on deck for the fanbase. While the winter games were certainly intense, no one has forgotten the Oilers' struggles leading into the break, and time is running out on whether they can turn the ship around.Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a quick Righteous Sack Beating before closing out the podcast with another round of voicemails.

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' coaching conversation, trade rumours, the winter Olympics, spring in February, and much more.I kicked off this week's episode with a look at the Winter Olympics and how I'm having so much fun watching sports in Milan that I would never normally consume. Whether it's cross-country skiing, ski jumping, or anything in between, watching these athletes do their thing at the highest level is my favourite thing to do every four years. Whether it's the rumours of ski jump injections or a Norwegian medalist's confession to cheating on his girlfriend, the first few days of the Milan games have been so much damned fun. And if you're wondering, I did talk about the Oilers a little bit, too.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.

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.
