Yet another voicemail episode
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.

Will the Oilers tie the series or find themselves up against the wall?
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.

Oilers are heading to Dallas for the Western Conference Final
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.

Reaction Episode: Oilers move on to the Western Conference Final
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.

Calvin Pickard, Evan Bouchard, and the Oilers tie the series at two
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. Oh, and subscribe to my YouTube channel.

This week between Oilers games has been the longest of all time
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.
