Cheaters Never Win™ Hockey Podcast

It's been a tough week in Caniac Nation. We invite local sports guru, and noted Canadian, Mark Armstrong from ABC 11 to join us to discuss whats going on w/ the Canes and what he would do to fix our ills. We rant a bit, we try and figure out what's next, and Mike goes all pessimistic. An amazing Stone IPA is in this week's BottleMixx Beer Review, and it doesn't disappoint. Stick around for Cheatmail, and figure out if you can win a special prize in a special Canes Twitter Bingo tonight against the Coyotes. Please rate and review us. We really do appreciate it.

So this week we didn't have a great time on the ice, but we had a great time in studio. Mike and Derek talk about whether it's time to get close to the ledge (it isn't), if its time to make drastic changes (it isn't), and if we should drink beer for breakfast (we should). We take your cheatmail, and maybe we rant a little bit. Thanks as always for listening. Please feel free to leave a review so that other hockey fans can find us.

Man are we excited to have real hockey to talk about. We're even more excited that Sean Leahy from ProHockeyTalk.com is on the line to not only discuss the Metro w/ us, but to do an epic eff marry kill that didn't fall on deaf ears this time. Cam Ward gets love, we enjoy Bill Peters line shuffling, and we don't say many bad words. Thanks as always for listening. Thanks to this weeks sponsor TickPick.com, thanks to you our loyal listeners, and thank the Lord that the Canes are playing real hockey again.

This week Jeff and Wysh bid us their final adieu as Marek vs. Wyshynski recorded their final episode. That podcast, and specifically Jeff's encouragement to "just start a podcast if you love hockey" led this this site, this blog, and now 5 seasons of CNW. We wanted to take a few minutes to say thanks and finally answer MvsW's longest standing quandry: Should Game Show Friday be a thing? We ask the experts including: Game Show Friday Legend Matt Riegler, TrashNewton, Tally Duchene, GenXWin, and Kenn Konfirm. Stick around to the end for the final vote and a message from Wysh himself.

It's Christmas day in Caniac Nation and we're so excited. Probably too excited, so please excuse our exuberance as we get prepped to see the Hurricanes hit the ice for the first time in this 2017-18 season. Mike Maniscalco from Fox Sports Carolinas and your host from Hurricanes Live is back with us to discuss his excitement over the home opener. Game Show Friday Legend Matt Riegler also joins us in the studio. If you need any more details about the opening night tailgate, you can get them right here. Big thanks to our friends at New Belgium, Donatos, and SportsChannel8 for making sure this is a tailgate not to be missed. And thanks to this weeks sponsor mybookie.ag.

The studio is chock full of hockey goodness with Derek and Mike in their normal spots and Cory Lavalette, sports editor for North State Journal in the guest chair. We talk thru the Canes preseason, our excitement for what this team's future, and your #cheatmail questions. We talk about Vegas odds for the Canes point total from our friends at mybookie.ag and Derek reviews a tasty brew. Thanks as always for listening! www.patreon.com/section328

In this weeks episode, we tag in JC Bobbit, Mr. Puckin' Sunshine himself to fill in for new dad Derek. We talk preseason hockey, expectations for who fills the final roster spots, and the opening night tailgate. Thanks for listening. Please rate, review, and subscribe if you don't mind. Thanks friends!

The boys are back in town and ready to talk some hockey. We took part in Canes media day and are here to bring you all the stuff we learned. We also took part in the Jim Connors Media Cup ball hockey game, and we're happy to share that no one was majorly injured during the game, although Maniscalco's groin may disagree. As always, we close w/ our thanks and a beer review. It's that time... business is about to pick up.

We welcome back to Cheaters Never Win, from NBC Sports and Fox Sports, the voice of the Carolina Hurricanes John Forslund. John spends 45 minutes w/ us discussing everything from the early years in Greensboro to who will be the next captain of your Carolina Hurricanes. We throw in our normal beer review, but lets be honest, you're hear for John. Enjoy, because we sure did.

As we kick off Season 5 of CNW, we dive into what it means to become a Caniac. We welcome Carl from @4thlinepodcast as he officially joins #CaniacNation. We take your #CheatMail questions, and review a damn fine brew from Burial. First time back behind the mics in a while, so we promise to do better next time. Thanks for listening, we GUARANTEE our next episode will be better.
