I&#8217;m back from the Denver #NationVacation, which means it&#8217;s time to recap the trip and personally thank everyone who made it so special. Oh, and there&#8217;s plenty of Oilers talk in there, too. This week&#8217;s episode was all over the map, but I hope you enjoyed it anyway.
Kicking off this week&#8217;s episode of Better Lait Than Never, I started with a thank you to everyone who made their way to Denver for the first #NationVacation of the season. Not only was the trip filled with Oilers dubs — the OT winner by Nuge was made just for me — but more importantly, some incredible people. I then spent the next few minutes complaining about how I&#8217;d be heading back to the airport in a few hours to catch a flight to Toronto for some work meetings.
Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, I started with the wins over Utah and Colorado because I wanted to kick things off with some good news. Those two wins—three if you count the Rangers game—made the Oilers look much more like themselves, and their ability to fill the net was a significant factor in the result. Unfortunately, the good times didn&#8217;t last long, as the winning streak ended Tuesday in Vegas with a shutout loss to the Golden Knights.
Finally, I wrapped up this quick episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about the CAD/USD exchange rate before wrapping up the show with another round of voicemails. I love travelling, but man does it ever hurt Uncle Mastercard when it&#8217;s time to pay it back. 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 - Mattias Janmark and the Nation Vacation

I'm back from the Denver #NationVacation, which means it's time to recap the trip and personally thank everyone who made it so special. Oh, and there's plenty of Oilers talk in there, too. This week's episode was all over the map, but I hope you enjoyed it anyway.
