It&#8217;s Wednesday afternoon, and the Edmonton Oilers are struggling, which means there is plenty to talk about in today&#8217;s episode of Better Lait Than Never. On this week&#8217;s podcast, I discuss the Oilers&#8217; four-game losing streak, Leon Draisaitl&#8217;s heater, <a href="https://oilersnation.com/news/stan-bowman-needs-to-make-some-changes-to-the-oilers">trade deadline needs</a>, and much more.
I kicked off this week&#8217;s podcast by thanking the Gords for snapping the streak of cold weather we&#8217;ve been battling in Edmonton over the last two weeks. It may be a small thing, but just being able to go outside and walk my dog this week has been a huge win. I also took listeners behind the scenes a little bit about what we&#8217;re working on ahead of the trade deadline, including our Daily Faceoff Trade Deadline special.
Turning the podcast to the Oilers, it doesn&#8217;t take much searching to see how upset the fanbase is right now after a run of putrid games put the team on their first four-game losing streak of the season. It&#8217;s not all bad news, though, as Leon Draisaitl continues to light the world on fire, and <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/02/21/its-matthew-savoie-time-what-the-oilers-can-expect-from-their-top-prospect/">Matthew Savoie</a> is looking like he could be a damned good player for a long time. That said, with less than two weeks left until the trade deadline, a lot of us are getting antsy about what Stan Bowman may or may not do at the league&#8217;s annual swap &#8216;n shop.
Finally, I wrapped up this quick episode of BLTN with a pair of guest Righteous Sack Beatings, before wrapping up the show with another round of voicemails that were all over the map. The inbox was alive 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 that&#8217;s been on your mind over the last seven days.
