It&#8217;s Wednesday evening, which means a new episode of Better Lait Than Never has been recorded, edited, and mastered to perfection. With all of my editing chops put to the test, this week&#8217;s podcast is ready to massage your brain feelings with an hour of Oilers-adjacent discussion.
I kicked off this week&#8217;s podcast with an update on the Dollars for Dogs campaign that kicked off on Monday. As much as I thought it would be fun to eat nothing but hot dogs for as long as possible, eating only glizzies and nothing else has proven to be difficult. The good news is that we&#8217;ve already raised over $1000 for charity, and I also had a pair of tickets to give away on today&#8217;s episode courtesy of Mistaken Mexican.
With my own nonsense out of the way, I turned the podcast back toward the Edmonton Oilers. Starting with Monday&#8217;s 1-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings. Not only was Skinner fantastic between the pipes, but that may have been one of the Oilers&#8217; best defensive efforts all season. Needless to say, it was a big win. On the downside, the Kings are a dirty hockey club, and there is no better example than the $5000 fine Adrian Kempe was hit with for slew-footing. Even with Kapanen jumping in immediately, that play re-sparked my concerns about the Oilers getting tougher.
Finally, I wrapped up this quick episode of BLTN with a guest edition of the Righteous Sack Beating before wrapping up the show with another round of voicemails. The inbox was quiet again for the third consecutive week, but I still got a healthy chuckle 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 - Some love for Stuart Skinner

It's Wednesday evening, which means a new episode of Better Lait Than Never has been recorded, edited, and mastered to perfection. With all of my editing chops put to the test, this week's podcast is ready to massage your brain feelings with an hour of Oilers-adjacent discussion.
