Better Lait Than Never is the best part of your Wednesday, isn&#8217;t it? Of course it is. This week, we&#8217;re recapping the Jasper Pond Hockey tournament, praising Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, taking your voicemails, and a bunch more.
After the wildfires devastated Jasper last summer, we understandably didn&#8217;t know that the pond hockey tournament at the Jasper Park Lodge would be held this year. Yet, as the months rolled along, our friends at Tourism Jasper told us that we&#8217;d be heading back for the fourth consecutive January, and I could not have been more excited to get back out there. As always, the tournament couldn&#8217;t have been more fun.
Looking at our beloved Edmonton Oilers, how could I not start with the return of Connor McDavid? After three games in jail, McDavid returned to the lineup against the Seattle Kraken and made an impact on the scoresheet almost immediately. It was another one of those games where the boys were flat to start for whatever reason, and thanks to a tying from No. 97, they were able to rally back for a third straight win.
Finally, I wrapped up this quick episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about paper straws before wrapping up the show with another round of voicemails that were all over the map. The inbox was nicely quiet again this week, but I still got plenty of laughs from your ideas, feedback, and voicemails. As always, I sat back and laughed while listening to everything that&#8217;s been on your mind over the last seven days.

Better Lait Than Never - Connor McDavid is Back and Stuart Skinner is scratched

Better Lait Than Never is the best part of your Wednesday, isn't it? Of course it is. This week, we're recapping the Jasper Pond Hockey tournament, praising Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, taking your voicemails, and a bunch more.

After the wildfires devastated Jasper last summer, we understandably didn't know that the pond hockey tournament at the Jasper Park Lodge would be held this year. Yet, as the months rolled along, our friends at Tourism Jasper told us that we'd be heading back for the fourth consecutive January, and I could not have been more excited to get back out there. As always, the tournament couldn't have been more fun.
