With the Edmonton Oilers looking like a hot mess on the ice, there was plenty to discuss on this week&#8217;s episode of Better Lait Than Never. On today&#8217;s podcast, we covered the Trent Frederic trade, what to expect at the NHL trade deadline, frustration on the ice, and much more.
I kicked off this week&#8217;s episode of Better Lait Than Never with a random collection of topics, including what we have planned for Friday&#8217;s trade deadline, workshopping gift ideas for myself ahead of my birthday, and offering another tale of being every day fancy. Even though this bit is just getting started on the podcast, I already love having you fine folks sending me DMs about times when you&#8217;ve scored amazing deals.
Turning the podcast to the Edmonton Oilers, it&#8217;s hard not to feel discouraged right now based on how shitacular the team is playing. Not only did the team lose its sixth game in their last seven tries <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/03/04/instant-reaction-edmonton-oilers-embarrassed-ducks-home-loss/">last night against the Ducks</a>, but they looked completely down and out without much fight to turn things around. Losing is one thing, but looking completely dejected while the tailspin is happening is another problem altogether. I also spent some time on <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/03/04/oilers-acquire-trent-frederic-max-jones-from-bruins-in-three-team-trade/">the Trent Frederic trade</a>, <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/03/02/looking-back-at-stan-bowmans-most-impactful-in-season-trades-with-the-blackhawks/">what Stan Bowman may do at the trade deadline</a>, and much more.
Finally, I wrapped up this quick episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about the trade deadline before wrapping up the show with another round of voicemails that were all over the map. The inbox was so funny again this week, and I 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.
