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.
