Calvin Pickard, Evan Bouchard, and the Oilers tie the series at two

Description
Wednesday afternoon means a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never is all and ready to massage your earholes and carry you through the rest of the week. This week, we're talking about my time in Vancouver, Kris Knoblauch giving Calvin Pickard the Game 4 start, a little bit of pop culture, and whatever else is going on. I started this week's podcast with a general dose of shenanigans, including a couple of TV reviews and a quick recap of our trip to Vancouver for Games 1 and 2. As you'll hear, our trip to Vancouver was an eventful one and it started right from the moment we landed. Needless to say, we got a lot done while we were down there, and when you mix in two spicy games between the Oilers and Canucks, you've got the makings of all kinds of adventure. Getting into the news, how could I not start with last night's massive Game 4 win at Rogers Place? In the NHL playoffs, Game 4 is always the swing game, and the Oilers were either going to tie things up or find themselves in a 3-1 hole that would be very difficult to climb out of. The good news is that Calvin Pickard — yes, Calvin "Cal our Pal" Pickard — stepped into his first-ever playoff start and gave the boys the kind of backstopping they needed to close out the win. Lastly, I wrapped up this week's show with a guest RSB and capped things off with another round of voicemails ranging from Oilers talk to Woz's appreciation of birds and everything in between. Once again, this podcast always makes me laugh, 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.

I didn't get a chance to get through the voicemails in yesterday's episode, so I decided to go back-to-back with and work through what you've been thinking about over the last week or so. Keep leaving your takes, please, because this is honestly one of my favourite parts of the week. I love...

We're in the hours leading up to Game 4, and the Oilers find themselves in a familiar, albeit uncomfortable position. Win, and the series is tied, lose, and they'll backed into a corner. That's life in the playoffs when you can't stop shooting yourselves in the foot. I started this week's podcast...
