I may be a day late with the record of this week&#8217;s podcast, but none of us should be surprised with a name like Better Lait Than Never. On this week&#8217;s podcast, we&#8217;re discussing Leon Draisaitl&#8217;s 50-goal watch, <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/03/19/ryan-nugent-hopkins-zach-hyman-scores-calvin-pickard-edmonton-oilers-7-1-win-utah-hockey-club/">Ryan Nugent-Hopkins&#8217; heater</a>, <a href="https://oilersnation.com/combinations">line combinations</a>, and more.
To kick off this week&#8217;s podcast, I started with a quick recap of my trip to Toronto from last week, how nice it was to visit that city, and how much I love leaving. There&#8217;s just something about having a 30-minute cab ride to go four km that bothers me, you know? It&#8217;s not like we were trying to move around in rush hour — a whole other problem entirely — but instead just trying to get to work quickly without walking everywhere. I also touched on how happy I am that my beloved Vikings won&#8217;t be touching Aaron Rogers&#8230; at least for now.
Getting back to the Oilers, I started with a recap of <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/03/18/instant-reaction-edmonton-oilers-beat-utah-hockey-club-7-1/">Tuesday&#8217;s game against the Utah Hockey Club</a> after we got some last-minute tickets and wandered in after the first few minutes. Not only did the Oilers need to blow a team out like that, but it was nice to have a stress-free night at the rink where the outcome was never in question. When was the last time you could say that? Not to mention, being at Rogers Place for Ryan Nugent-Hopkins&#8217; second straight three-point game was the cherry on top.
Finally, I wrapped up this quick episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about using your speakerphone in public before wrapping up the show with another round of voicemails that were as entertaining as they 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 on your mind over the last seven days.
