Better Lait Than Never: Oilers win four straight, Connor Ingram\u2019s birthday shutout, and the Pacific Division<\/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 quick recap of our Nation Vacation to Vegas, then moved on to the horrible world of reality TV dating shows that I love so much. Did that transition make any sense? No. But this is my show, and I can do what I want. Turning the podcast to the Oilers, it\u2019s hard not to be excited about this team right now. Our boys are playing their best hockey<\/a> of the season at the most important time of the year, and it\u2019s almost amazing to watch, given how sideways things were going even a few weeks ago. To say that this season has been a rollercoaster would be the understatement of a lifetime.<\/p>\n Finally, I wrapped up this week\u2019s episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about getting old before closing out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was quieter this week, but I had a great time with everyone\u2019s takes landing all over the place. The voicemail is my favourite 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 win four straight, Connor Ingram\u2019s birthday shutout, and the Pacific Division It\u2019s been…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":535850,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5125],"tags":[198,146,5300,5,4,24],"class_list":{"0":"post-535849","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-edmonton-oilers","8":"tag-edmonton","9":"tag-edmonton-oilers","10":"tag-edmontonoilers","11":"tag-hockey","12":"tag-nhl","13":"tag-oilers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116332828185427386","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535849","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=535849"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535849\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/535850"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=535849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=535849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=535849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
