Better Lait Than Never The Nation Network

It’s always amazing to me to see what the voicemail segment of Better Lait Than Never has turned into. When I first started the voicemail, I was hoping that maybe a handful of people would chime in with their takes, but I never expected it to grow to a spot where I turn that one segment into whole episodes.
With the Oilers heading to the Stanley Cup Final, however, the BLTN community has a lot to say, and it makes me happy to offer a platform for which they can get it out. On yesterday’s episode, I talked about the journey it’s been to get back to the SCF, debuted some BLTN original music, and walked through a few bets that I’m looking at ahead of Edmonton’s series against Florida. 
Today, on the other hand, was all about your opinions and takes and whatever else was on your mind. You’ve gotta love a good voicemail episode.

We're only days away from the Oilers beginning their quest for the Stanley Cup in the finals, and this off-week has given me all kinds of time to think about the ride it's been just to get here. This season has been one for the books, I'll tell you that much.
To kick off the podcast, I started by telling my version of the story of how the Western Conference Final ended. Obviously, we know the Oilers wrapped up the series in six games, but from my perspective, after 16 years of working at Oilersnation, the whole thing felt like a fever dream. Even though my eyeballs were telling me what was going on, it was almost like my brain couldn't comprehend the information it was being fed. After so many years of covering horrible teams, having the Oilers make the SCF feels like we've already won, even though the job is nowhere close to finished, and there's plenty of work left to do.
Turning back to the Oilers, there was plenty of news and noise surrounding the team's first trip to the Stanley Cup Final in 18 years, and one such question revolved around their ability to handle the Panthers' physicality. Obviously, this is going to be a much more physical series than the one against Dallas, but does that mean the Oilers won't be able to handle it? It's not like every series has been a cakewalk. That said, there's little doubt the Oilers will need to bring their best if we're going to be heading to a parade a couple of weeks from now.

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.

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.

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. Oh, and subscribe to my YouTube channel.

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.
