The Oilers are 5-0-1 and the Vikings 5-0, which means I could be having one of my best months of October for sports in history. Either way, my favourite teams are rolling and that meant there was plenty to talk about. Not nearly enough voicemails, though. Help me out! Want to leave a voicemail for next week’s show?

The Oilers made a trade this morning that sent Spencer Stastney to Pittsburgh in exchange for Filip Hallander, and while I've never heard of this new friend before today, that didn't stop me from gushing about him anyway. I also looked at the Oilers' Cali road trip, Devon Levi getting the start, and how insane it is that Evan Bouchard keeps getting disrespected around the NHL.

Well... I sure was excited about the Oilers' season opener until, well... it started. At the same time, losing 6-5 in OT to a terrible team kinda felt like home, ya know?

It's been another boring week around here with the Oilers and NHL at large still right in the middle of the off-season dead zone, but I've still got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready what little has happened anyway. On today’s podcast, I discussed the Oilers inching closer to the pre-season, Stan Bowman's pre-season comments, goalie gear, and more. Needless to say, it's been a busy week around here.

I kicked off this week's episode with a look at the Oilers' training camp, and how it's going to be interesting to see how things play out with a condensed tune up schedule. This morning, the organization posted their 56-man training camp roster, which is certainly lighter than what we've seen in the past. But with only four exhibition games to play before the curtain drops on the 2026-27 NHL season, teams around the league will need to speed bag their usual pre-season protocol. Regardless, I could not be more excited.

Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a quieter round of voicemails that were all over the map, and complete with an array of different topics. Finally, I capped things off with another please for you to join us on the upcoming Nation Vacation to Toronto, and also that you grab your tickets to the RIPNation event at the Pint on September 26th. It's going to be a night of stories, memories, and laughs, and I'd love for all of you to be there with us. Want to leave a voicemail for next week’s show? Do it here!

It's been another boring week around here with the Oilers and NHL at large still right in the middle of the off-season dead zone, but I've still got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready what little has happened anyway. On today’s podcast, I discussed some Oilers signing Alex Formenton, the boys are back in town, training camp, and more. Needless to say, it's been a busy week around here.

I kicked off this week's episode with a look at Alex Formenton after the Oilers announced this morning that they had signed the former Ottawa Senator to a one-year contract. Needless to say, given Formenton's history, the news was not exactly well received by large chunks of the fanbase. Of course, the Oilers have a history of giving players their second chance, so this isn't exactly a new approach for the franchise. The bigger question will be whether or not a guy who scored only 23 points in the Swiss League last year will even be worth the hassle.

Wednesday means another episode of Better Lait Than Never is ready to massage your eardrums. This week, I welcomed Zach Laing back to the podcast to talk about the Nation Fantasy Football League, some punk rock, and what's the latest with the Edmonton Oilers.

It's been another boring week around here with the Oilers and NHL at large still right in the middle of the off-season dead zone, but I've still got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready what little has happened anyway. On today’s podcast, I discussed some Oilers injury news, new jersey numbers, the Nation Golf Tournament, and more. Needless to say, it's been a busy week around here.

I kicked off this week's episode with a recap of what is sure to be a very exciting week around here, as the Nation Golf Tournament kicks off at Millwoods Golf Course on Friday morning in support of Gregor's Grads. The golf tourney is always one of my favourite days on the calendar, and this year's edition will be no different. Turning the podcast to the Oilers, the team announced that some key players are going to miss training camp next month, which is definitely not the news we were hoping to hear. Some of us were thinking trade. Some were thinking PTOs. But injury news in August? That was not on the agenda, people.

Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating about Edmonton drivers not knowing how to drive. Whether it's construction issues being a mainstay or complaining about fella motorists, the weekly RSB is the spot to vent your frustrations until Festivus rolls back around in December. Finally, I wrapped up the show with a quick teaser for an upcoming Nation Vacation that we'll be launching soon, and gave my pitch on why I think you should join us.
