The Oilers had their backs against the wall after falling behind 3-0 to the Florida Panthers, but the vibes have changed significantly after the boys won their last two games to push the series to Game 6 at Rogers Place. Needless to say, this past week has been emotional.

I started out this week's podcast with what was basically a love letter to Edmonton after this city gave us some of the best times of my life over the last handful of days. There's nothing quite like being here when the Oilers are in a playoff push, and that feeling gets cranked up by a factor of 100 in the Stanley Cup Final. Even though everyone was feeling down when the Oilers fell behind by three games, you'd have thought we were up by three with the way everyone parties on Saturday night.

Looking back at Tuesday's Game 5, the Oilers needed to go into Florida and get the job done in a bar where they had yet to win. Led by their captain, the boys did exactly that with what was an imperfect yet incredibly clutch 5-3 win. Now the series turns back to Rogers Place where I expect the crowd to quite possibly blow the roof off. If people thought the crowd was nuts for Game 4, I can only imagine the chaos that is about to happen only a couple of days from now.

Lastly, I wrapped up this week's show with an RSB about Oilers haters eating crow and capped off the pod with another round of voicemails ranging from Stanley Cup woes to positive messages and everything in between. Once again, this podcast really is one of my favourite parts of the week, and I'm so very grateful for the levels of participation by the wonderful BLTN community that keeps moving.

I'd be lying if I didn't acknowledge the hole the Edmonton Oilers find themselves in after losing both games in Florida to kick off the Stanley Cup Final, but that doesn't mean the series is over. It just means the mountain gets a whole lot tougher to climb.

I started this week's podcast with a recap of our trip to Florida, what it was like at the Amarent Bank Arena, what we did on the off day, and what the Oilers need to do to pull themselves back in the series. Despite only being gone for four days, there was a lot going on for the four of us from Nation HQ who made our way down to Fort Lauderdale. We did live shows, wrote a bunch of articles, posted countless social posts, and despite the results, we also mixed in some shenanigans.

Turning the show back to the Oilers, I started the news with some updates from the rink that Cam Lewis and Zach Laing provided after their first day on the beat. With the boys credentialed for the Stanley Cup Final, it's the first time Oilersnation has ever had this kind of access before, and it's made a huge difference for our coverage.

Lastly, I wrapped up this week's show with an RSB about the horrible officiating and capped off the pod with another round of voicemails ranging from Stanley Cup

woes to positive messages and everything in between. Once again, this podcast really is one of my favourite parts of the week, and I'm so very grateful for the levels of participation by the wonderful BLTN community that keeps moving. Oh, and subscribe to my YouTube channel.

It’s always amazing to me to see what the voicemail segment of Better Lait Than Never has turned into. When I first started the voicemail, I was hoping that maybe a handful of people would chime in with their takes, but I never expected it to grow to a spot where I turn that one segment into whole episodes.

With the Oilers heading to the Stanley Cup Final, however, the BLTN community has a lot to say, and it makes me happy to offer a platform for which they can get it out. On yesterday’s episode, I talked about the journey it’s been to get back to the SCF, debuted some BLTN original music, and walked through a few bets that I’m looking at ahead of Edmonton’s series against Florida.

Today, on the other hand, was all about your opinions and takes and whatever else was on your mind. You’ve gotta love a good voicemail episode.
