Oilers start without Nurse and Kane, planning meetings, and PTO season
Manage episode 439613193 series 3558185
It's Thursday afternoon, and that means your favourite post is finally here after making you wait a day longer than usual. Are you excited? Of course you are.
I started this week's podcast with a quick run through of our Oilersnation annual planning meetings that I just got home from, which was also the reason why the show was late by a day. Seeing as this was the third year of these annual sessions, it's interesting to see how much the company has grown over the last 36 months and how we're not anywhere close to being done. I also decided this past week that I'm a Vikings fan now, so I walked through that decision and admitted that stretching it out as long as I did was more annoying than it was helpful.
Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the big news that came down this week was that both Darnell Nurse and Evander Kane are expected to miss the start of training camp due to injuries. Even though we all knew that Kane is banged up, hearing Nurse will be out for a while was certainly a surprise. All of a sudden, the Travis Dermott PTO started to make a little more sense from a depth perspective, no? On a more positive note, Leon Draisaitl is not exactly being shy about his want for Connor McDavid to sign an extension with the Oilers next summer, and hearing those two talk about the idea makes me feel all warm and tingly inside.
Lastly, I wrapped up this week's show with some betting talk and a pair of guest RSBs before diving into this week's lot of voicemails. Even though this week's VM segment was one of the shorter ones we've had in a while, you fantastic folks always bring the heat when it comes to dropping your takes. More importantly, having your feedback on the show is one of the most important parts of BLTN and I'm always grateful that you take the time to chime in. Oh, and subscribe to my YouTube channel.
