For whatever reason, the Edmonton Oilers&#8217; schedule is so weird this season. As a result, we find ourselves in a mini bye week that isn&#8217;t technically a bye week but is indeed boring us all like one. On the bright side, the lack of games meant more time for shenanigans on this week&#8217;s episode of Better Lait Than Never.
I started this week&#8217;s podcast by discussing my excitement for this week&#8217;s #NationVacation. Heading to another city to watch the Oilers play is one of my favourite things to do, and that excitement builds even further when we&#8217;re going to a place I&#8217;ve never been before. I then changed gears a bit to talk about seeing The Book of Mormon on Friday night at the Jubilee and how it was one of the funniest nights I&#8217;ve had in a long time. If you&#8217;ve never seen that play and are a fan of South Park, you&#8217;ve gotta find a way to see it at least one time.
Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, there has been little to talk about since last week because of the bizarre schedule. With only two games on the schedule this week, the Oilers&#8217; news cycle has been quiet, but that doesn&#8217;t mean there weren&#8217;t plenty of things to talk about. Starting with Kasperi Kapanen getting claimed off waivers, the Oilers looked to add some depth to their right side. The timing of the move couldn&#8217;t have been better, however, as the club is still without Zach Hyman and Viktor Arvidsson, but no one really knows why.
Finally, I wrapped up this quick episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about getting way too spicy about sports opinions before wrapping up the show with another round of voicemails. The inbox was quieter this week, but I still got a healthy chuckle out of 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 podcast Edmonton Oilers

For whatever reason, the Edmonton Oilers' schedule is so weird this season. As a result, we find ourselves in a mini bye week that isn't technically a bye week but is indeed boring us all like one. On the bright side, the lack of games meant more time for shenanigans on this week's episode of Better Lait Than Never.

I started this week's podcast by discussing my excitement for this week's #NationVacation. Heading to another city to watch the Oilers play is one of my favourite things to do, and that excitement builds even further when we're going to a place I've never been before. I then changed gears a bit to talk about seeing The Book of Mormon on Friday night at the Jubilee and how it was one of the funniest nights I've had in a long time. If you've never seen that play and are a fan of South Park, you've gotta find a way to see it at least one time.
