  • 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.

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.

  • 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.
