Better Lait Than Never: Oilers start the road trip with two big wins, but lost three key pieces<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I\u2019ve got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never<\/a> ready to recap it all. On today\u2019s podcast, I talked about the Oilers<\/a>\u2018 trades at the deadline, the first few games for our new friends, a tough luck run of injuries, and much more.I kicked off this week\u2019s episode with a look at the Oilers\u2019 games since the NHL Trade Deadline<\/a>. Now that our new friends have had three games each under their belts (kinda), I wanted to offer my first take on how they\u2019ve done so far. Spoiler: I\u2019ve been impressed. Of course, it can\u2019t all be good news around here, can it? Last night in Colorado, the Oilers picked up a win in a very intense game, but lost a trio of players in the process. Why can\u2019t we have nice things? Even with the men down, I\u2019d be lying if I said the Kool-Aid wasn\u2019t going down a little smoother after beating both Vegas<\/a> and Colorado<\/a>.<\/p>\n Finally, I wrapped up this week\u2019s episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating from Dooks before closing out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was quieter this week, but I still had a good time with everyone\u2019s takes landing all over the place. The voicemail is the best way to wrap up the show and give everyone a chance to share their thoughts. Another hearty thank you to everyone who contributed to this week\u2019s episode. Having all of you in the mix makes the show so much better.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Better Lait Than Never: Oilers start the road trip with two big wins, but lost three key pieces…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":530881,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":["post-530880","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/530880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=530880"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/530880\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/530881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=530880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=530880"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=530880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
