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 Jeff Marek's new show. I don'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's fun for a few days, but then it's definitely time to leave.

Turning the podcast back to the Edmonton Oilers, I started with Saturday's matchup vs. the St. Louis Blues. Obviously, Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway made their first trip back to Edmonton after signing those offer sheets, and it didn'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'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's been on your mind over the last seven days.

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.

Kicking off this week'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'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'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'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's been on your mind over the last seven days.

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.

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' news cycle has been quiet, but that doesn't mean there weren'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'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's been on your mind over the last seven days.
