It&#8217;s the Wednesday after <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/05/06/oilers-win-game-1-golden-knights-comeback-victory/">Game 1</a> of Round 2, which means a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never is ready to recap yet another Edmonton Oilers comeback win while also looking back at the week that was. On today&#8217;s podcast, I recapped last night&#8217;s win, what the Oilers need to do to pull away in the series, playoff Connor Brown, and much more.
I started this week&#8217;s podcast with an admission that I&#8217;ve once again made poor life choices on a school night. Seeing as the Oilers and Golden Knights kicked off their series last night, I felt it was necessary to have a few adult beverages to celebrate the occasion. The result, of course, is that I feel like death today, which made accomplishing my day-to-day tasks 200% more difficult. Even so, I was in a great mood after the Oilers won their series opener, which is certainly not the case for some Oilers fans around here.
Turning my full attention back to the Oilers, I started with a recap of <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/05/07/the-day-after-7-0-the-oilers-meet-a-game-1-they-liked/">Game 1</a> between the Oilers and Golden Knights, and how a big win like that sets the table for a strong finish. I mean, yeah, it would have been great if the boys hadn&#8217;t needed to come up with a fifth straight comeback win — a new NHL record — but I&#8217;d be lying if I pretended it wasn&#8217;t exciting to watch. A big part of that comeback was the result of the depth scoring coming through once again, which led to me spending the next handful of minutes pumping tires for a few of our boys.
Finally, I wrapped up this week&#8217;s episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating before wrapping up the podcast with a massive round of voicemails. The voicemail was alive again this week, and the messages were very funny and 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&#8217;s episode because having you in the mix makes the show so much better.
