There’s nothing better than a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio to wrap up your week and guide you though the never ending pre-season with an hour of Oilers talk.

We kicked off this week’s episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether or not we should be freaking out anything pre-season related. Even though the results don’t matter at this stage of the season, there is a small chunk of Oilers fans who are already concerned about the lack of success. Unexpectedly, talking about the pre-season led the guys to argue whether or not the team is actually better than they were last season.

Changing gears, we walked through some of the biggest news stories coming out of training camp. From roster cuts to Friedman speculating that Evander Kane won’t miss the entire season, there was plenty of news to talk about from this past week and the squad offered their takes on all of it. Even without much going on, the boys still found reasons to disagree and argue about what’s been happening.

Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio by answering your questions with another round of Ask the Idiots before diving into Hot and Cold Performers to recap everything that’s happened over the last seven days. With the pre-season kickoff just around the corner, the boys had plenty to talk about this week for the first time in forever. Needless to say, this week’s episode probably had the most hockey talk that we’ve had in a while, and it feels good to know that the NHL is almost back for another season.
