    Mike and Shane, thanks for your podcast. Great listen! Here in Brazil I can see all Canes games but it’s nice to listen you both off the broadcast. Keep going!

  • Disrespect NC State Ice Pack

    The next time you decide to make fun of a club level hockey team you might wanna think about it You put predictions out there. 9 to 2. Seven to one.? I believe that that’s what you had in your podcast.

    The NC State Ice Pack are a worthy opponent. I think maybe next time you should give them the respect they deserve when make predictions.

    I do like your podcast a lot. I am a Carolina hurricane Fan. I was an NC State fan before I was a hurricanes fan.

    Who won the game again? That’s right NC... more

  • Neglected

    Mike and Shane are homers. The Hurricanes can do no wrong according to these two. The Canes fans apparently don’t know anything, it would seem. Once Mike and Shane start answering listener questions, the show becomes unworthy of listening as they answer every insufferable question. For real Hurricanes insider information, listen to Canes Corner and/or Adam Gold’s podcasts.

Sometimes I think it’s real, other times I think they are just trying to humorous. Sometimes I agree it is down right mean. But here’s the suggestion: My personal take is that sometimes you’re venting your frustration too on the fans. If you’re going to defend a position such as “every player is going to go through a slump” please do so more consistently in a... more

  • Bring back email questions?

    Hey guys, I love the podcast as always. I’ve listened to nearly all 271 episodes. Any way to bring back email questions though? I think of questions sometimes, but I don’t really wanna create a Twitter account just to send questions because of the absolute insanity of social media.
