It&#8217;s Thursday afternoon, I&#8217;m late again with the show, but your favourite post is finally here after making you wait a day longer than usual. Are you excited? Of course you are.
Kicking off this week&#8217;s podcast, I started with a quick admission of how excited I am that hockey is returning on Sunday, even though I already know how much I will hate watching eight pre-season games. Given that the players we actually want to watch won&#8217;t be playing most of the time, it&#8217;s tough to get excited about what amounts to meaningless games that are locked behind a paywall.
Turning the podcast toward training camp, I walked through the news from the first two days of on-ice sessions. From Evander Kane&#8217;s need for surgery to Darnell Nurse starting off with light duties to rumours that the Oilers are interested in Rasmus Ristolainen, this season is already getting spicy, and we&#8217;ve barely even gotten started. The funny part about the situation is that there&#8217;s already a lot going on, and that doesn&#8217;t even touch on the pair of PTOs the Oilers signed this past week.
Lastly, I wrapped up this week&#8217;s show with some betting talk and a pair of guest RSBs before diving into this week&#8217;s lot of voicemails. Even though this week&#8217;s VM segment was one of the shorter ones we&#8217;ve had in a while, you fantastic folks always bring the heat when it comes to dropping your takes. More importantly, having your feedback on the show is one of the most important parts of BLTN and I&#8217;m always grateful that you take the time to chime in.
