Better Lait Than Never episodes

November 04 Let's talk about NUUUUUUUUGE and the Oilers too, I guess
The Oilers had a mostly successful road trip out east, and it sure has been fun watching them kick ass and take names through the first month of the season. Even greater, however, was watching Ryan Nugent-Hopkins break the franchise's all-time games played record, making him the Oiliest Oiler to ever live! Want to leave a voicemail for next week’s show?

October 28 The injuries keep piling up, Oilers line combos, and a snow day in Edmonton
The Edmonton Oilers are back in action tonight for the first Battle of Alberta of the season, and I don't think there's anything easy about this one given how our boys are playing right now. From injury woes to the top dogs having to do everything again, our boys are working through some adversity right now, and the only way past the pain is through it.

October 21 The Oilers are on fire and it's almost confusing
The Oilers picked up another massive win last night against the Minnesota Wild, and this team is starting to look so different that I'm not sure I recognize them. Mix in their success with a great new season of Love is Blind, and all of a sudden, you've got the makings of a happy Baggedmilk. Want to leave a voicemail for next week’s show? Do it here!

October 14 The Oilers may never lose again
The Oilers are 5-0-1 and the Vikings 5-0, which means I could be having one of my best months of October for sports in history. Either way, my favourite teams are rolling and that meant there was plenty to talk about. Not nearly enough voicemails, though. Help me out! Want to leave a voicemail for next week’s show?

October 07 We've got an Oilers trade to talk about... and other stuff too
The Oilers made a trade this morning that sent Spencer Stastney to Pittsburgh in exchange for Filip Hallander, and while I've never heard of this new friend before today, that didn't stop me from gushing about him anyway. I also looked at the Oilers' Cali road trip, Devon Levi getting the start, and how insane it is that Evan Bouchard keeps getting disrespected around the NHL.

September 30 Felt good to have the Oilers ruin my night again
Well... I sure was excited about the Oilers' season opener until, well... it started. At the same time, losing 6-5 in OT to a terrible team kinda felt like home, ya know?

September 17 Counting down to Oilers time and the Kool-Aid is delicious
It's been another boring week around here with the Oilers and NHL at large still right in the middle of the off-season dead zone, but I've still got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready what little has happened anyway. On today’s podcast, I discussed the Oilers inching closer to the pre-season, Stan Bowman's pre-season comments, goalie gear, and more. Needless to say, it's been a busy week around here.

I kicked off this week's episode with a look at the Oilers' training camp, and how it's going to be interesting to see how things play out with a condensed tune up schedule. This morning, the organization posted their 56-man training camp roster, which is certainly lighter than what we've seen in the past. But with only four exhibition games to play before the curtain drops on the 2026-27 NHL season, teams around the league will need to speed bag their usual pre-season protocol. Regardless, I could not be more excited.

Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a quieter round of voicemails that were all over the map, and complete with an array of different topics. Finally, I capped things off with another please for you to join us on the upcoming Nation Vacation to Toronto, and also that you grab your tickets to the RIPNation event at the Pint on September 26th. It's going to be a night of stories, memories, and laughs, and I'd love for all of you to be there with us. Want to leave a voicemail for next week’s show? Do it here!

September 09 The Oilers sign Alex Formenton and the reaction was exactly as expected
It's been another boring week around here with the Oilers and NHL at large still right in the middle of the off-season dead zone, but I've still got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready what little has happened anyway. On today’s podcast, I discussed some Oilers signing Alex Formenton, the boys are back in town, training camp, and more. Needless to say, it's been a busy week around here.

I kicked off this week's episode with a look at Alex Formenton after the Oilers announced this morning that they had signed the former Ottawa Senator to a one-year contract. Needless to say, given Formenton's history, the news was not exactly well received by large chunks of the fanbase. Of course, the Oilers have a history of giving players their second chance, so this isn't exactly a new approach for the franchise. The bigger question will be whether or not a guy who scored only 23 points in the Swiss League last year will even be worth the hassle.

Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a lively round of voicemails that were all over the map, and complete with an array of different topics. Finally, I capped things off with another please for you to join us on the upcoming Nation Vacation to Toronto, and also that you grab your tickets to the RIPNation event at the Pint on September 26th.
