  • The Oilers coaching conundrum takes a turn
    May 13 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 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. Having all of you in the mix makes the show so much better. Want to leave a voicemail for next week’s show? Do it here!

  • A long Oilers offseason, pressure on Stan Bowman, and the NHL draft lottery
    May 6 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 discussed the Oilers getting bumped from the playoffs, a long summer ahead, pressure on Stan Bowman, and more.


    I kicked off this week's episode with a quick recap of what's been happening since the Oilers got knocked out in Round 1 of the NHL playoffs. With the exit interviews now behind us, the thing that stuck out to me the most was how honest the leadership group was with their assessment. Both Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid gave incredibly honest feedback on where the team is, their concerns, and the timelines Stan Bowman has to turn this thing around. Needless to say, the pressure on the Oilers' management to get this right is as high today as it's likely ever been.


    Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a pair of guest Righteous Sack Beatings, then closed out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was alive this week after the playoff exit, and I had a great time with everyone's takes 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? Do it here!

  • Can the Oilers push this series to Game 7?
    Apr 29 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 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. 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.
