I&#8217;m finally back in my comfort cave after a week on the road, which meant I was excited to have the time for a regularly scheduled episode of the Better Lait Than Never. This week, I recapped my trip to Toronto, spoke about The Sheet launch event, and covered all the cool things that are happening with the Oilers.
I started this week&#8217;s podcast episode by recapping my trip to Toronto. While I went to the 6ix for work purposes, a big part of the story was the Sheet launch event for <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2024/11/07/the-nation-network-adds-jeff-marek-to-the-roster/">Jeff Marek&#8217;s new show</a>. I don&#8217;t usually get invited to events like that, so experiencing it firsthand and watching the spectacle play out was incredibly interesting. More in line with expectations, however, was my continued love-hate relationship with being in Toronto. It&#8217;s fun for a few days, but then it&#8217;s definitely time to leave.
Turning the podcast back to the Edmonton Oilers, I started with Saturday&#8217;s matchup vs. the St. Louis Blues. Obviously, <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2024/12/08/the-day-after-27-0-facing-former-teammates-broberg-and-holloway-brought-some-atmosphere-and-energy-to-the-rink-for-the-oilers/">Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway made their first trip back</a> to Edmonton after signing those offer sheets, and it didn&#8217;t take long for the Rogers Place faithful to let them have it. Was the booing too much? I gave my take. With those two out of the way, I got to a bunch of good news from around the Nation, as there are a bunch of our boys stepping up in a very big way to turn the season around.
Finally, I wrapped up this quick episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about driving in the winter before wrapping up the show with another round of voicemails. As much as dumps of snow happen yearly, it&#8217;s almost like people forget not to drive like heroes when it happens. The inbox was quieter this week, but I still got a healthy chuckle from your ideas and feedback. As always, I sat back and laughed while listening to everything that&#8217;s been on your mind over the last seven days.

Better Lait Than Never - Booing Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg

I'm finally back in my comfort cave after a week on the road, which meant I was excited to have the time for a regularly scheduled episode of the Better Lait Than Never. This week, I recapped my trip to Toronto, spoke about The Sheet launch event, and covered all the cool things that are happening with the Oilers.

I started this week's podcast episode by recapping my trip to Toronto. While I went to the 6ix for work purposes, a big part of the story was the Sheet launch event for <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2024/11/07/the-nation-network-adds-jeff-marek-to-the-roster/">Jeff Marek's new show</a>.
