It's been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I've got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to recap it all. On today’s podcast, I talked about the Oilers' trades at the deadline, the first few games for our new friends, a tough luck run of injuries, and much more.

I kicked off this week's episode with the obvious devastating news that Leon Draisaitl will miss the remainder of the regular season with an undisclosed lower-body injury. Needless to say, this is not ideal. Not only are the Oilers locked into a fight for their playoff lives, but now they have to do it without their second-best player? Yikes. The good news is that Draisaitl's teammates have responded beautifully over the ~5 periods he's been out of the lineup. Instead of folding their hand after losing a star player, the Oilers went out and found ways to win two massive games that propelled them into first place in the Pacific Division.

Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating before closing out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was quieter this week, but I still had a good time with everyone's takes landing all over the place. The voicemail is the best way to wrap up the show and give everyone a chance to share their thoughts. Another hearty thank you to everyone who contributed to this week's episode. Having all of you in the mix makes the show so much better. Want to leave a voicemail for next week’s show? Do it here!
