Huge thanks to everyone who listens to us, we've had an amazing 100 episodes over the last 3.5 years. Our guests this week were 2/3 of the SurgeCast (Zack and Bailey) and we do a full team Storm Report - grading every player who has played a game for the Canes this season. Thanks also to all of the amazing guests we've had over the years, you are what fuels our podcast.

Whose fault was it? Was it the right move? How does this affect Raanta? How does this affect the team? This might be our most in depth episode in a while, be sure to give it a go!

Thanks to Erin for joining us this week. It could have been kind of a downer episode but Erin was great as both a guest, and with her perspectives on the team right now. Lots to unpack in this one and it's not all fun & games, but we try to cut to the heart of the concerns while being optimistic that the team can rebound and pull through this funk.

With the Canes about to start their west coast roadie, we had Collin from Home Ice Advantage on the show to talk about the week, and the change in his podcast format. HIA is a daily 10ish minute look at the Canes, it's one of my top podcasts because it's easily digestible and Collin does a great job stepping back and getting to the heart of things. If you don't listen to him, give him a chance for sure. We also talked about the 3rd pair and "4th" line, as well as the tendie situation....

This week we talked to Caniac Annie and her story: coming down from Long Island, transforming from Annie to Caniac Annie, STM, loves the team more than any player. We also talked about last week's games/issues, and where we think the Canes will go from here. This is a good one with an amazing Caniac.

Just Ray and I this week, we kept it short(ish) and sweet. 1) Whalers Jersey controversy 2) Guys not buying in? What does that mean? 3) 777 - This isn't the only problem, but this pairing is atrocious, especially at almost $10M. We talk about the pairing, as well as TA and Orlov separately.

We talk with Wade Minter AKA PA Guy AKA Mr Voice AKA Gina's good luck charm! How did Wade get into hockey? How do I have a photo of Wade in my truck bed? How did Wade become the voice of the Canes? How did we have a Dusty Rhodes cameo? Why shouldn't we call it the East Coast Hockey League? All this and more on this week's Storm Cellar!
