  • Oilers go out with a whimper in the Stanley Cup Final
    Jun 18 2025

    It's the Wednesday after the boys fell to the Florida Panthers in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, which means a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never is ready to recap yet another Edmonton Oilers win. On today's podcast, I examined what went wrong, discussed the Oilers' struggles, Trent Frederic's reported contract extension, and more.


    It's hard to feel much sunshine the day after the Edmonton Oilers bowed out of the Stanley Cup Final in only six games. After picking up massive OT wins in Games 1 and 4, the Oilers were in great shape heading back to Rogers Place on Saturday night. Unfortunately, the wheels really fell off when the lights got brightest, as the boys were outplayed by a sizeable margin in the following two. The Panthers were so much better in Games 5 and 6 that you almost wondered which Oilers team you were watching. It certainly wasn't the one that stormed through the first three rounds and made things look easy.


    Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about being a sports fan before wrapping up the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was fantastic this week, and the messages were all over the map. As always, I finished up the show with another round of voicemails after yet another disappointing playoff exit. Another hearty thank you to everyone who contributed to this week's episode, because having all of you in the mix makes the show so much better.

  • Oilers take Game 1 over the Panthers with Leon Draisaitl OT winner
    Jun 6 2025

    It's the Wednesday after the boys rallied to beat the Florida Panthers in Game 1, which means a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never is ready to recap yet another Edmonton Oilers win. On today's podcast, I looked at the Stanley Cup Final, discussed the Oilers' comeback win, Mattias Ekholm's return, and more.


    I'm still on cloud nine after last night's Game 1 win, so I didn't really want to spend much time talking about anything other than what happened on Wednesday at Rogers Place. From the Mega Stream kicking off the day to making my way to the rink with Woz to stressing through a very tight game against Florida, everything about Wednesday night was a blast, and I could not be more excited about what the boys can do in the rest of this series. The stars shone bright, the depth came through, Stuart Skinner battled hard in net, and the Oilers ended up with their first Stanley Cup Final series lead in 35 years.


    Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about standing at hockey games before wrapping up the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was fantastic this week, and the messages were all over the map. As always, finishing up the show with your opinions is my favourite part of the whole thing and something I always look forward to most. Another hearty thank you to everyone who contributed to this week's episode, because having all of you in the mix makes the show so much better.
