For Between the Boards, we both pick our playoff winners and believe it or not, we both have the same Stanley Cup Finals matchup.

Brooks finishes with 4 facts of the week to hold you over for the summer and then we say goodbye for the last time this season.

2010 Regular Season Week 23

2011-03-21T18:19:00.001-07:00

4 points but still not ground made up..

Canes look good in all 3 games but only manage to win 2 games. We look back at the week that was recapping each game and even do some in depth analysis on Joni Pitkanen in the process.

For Between the Boards we each come up with some random hockey comments. And when I mean random, I mean we talk the greatest video game hockey player ever, compare the NHL to the NCAA and even discuss the current points system.

We close with a preview of a season defining week and a fact of the week regarding one record that Patrick Roy has you probably don't know about...

2010 Regular Season Week 22

2011-03-14T16:43:00.000-07:00

Wow what a bad week...

The Canes only get 1 point this week and have a game where the Canes go 0-9 on the power play. We see some interesting stuff this week including a questionable ending in a game, a call up, and a big injury.

for Between the Boards we return to our favorite segment - NHL Trivia!

We close with a preview of what we are calling the biggest week of the year and then a fact of the week dealing with goal differential.

So we win twice but now are outside of the top 8? Huh?!?

The NHL Trade deadline comes and goes and the Canes were apart of it. See ya Sergei, hello Bryan Allen. With the new roster, the Canes get 4 points this week including the big 2 against Buffalo but fall out of the top 8 for the first time in weeks.

For Between the Boards we revisit a season goal list from the beginning of the season. We basically "check up" on this list to see where the Canes are and basically reflect on where we are based on where we needed to be.

We close with a week preview, a fact of the week and then some ACC tournament banter!

2010 Regular Season Week 20

2011-02-27T19:12:00.000-08:00

3 points in 3 games. Not good. Not bad.

It was a so so week as the Canes dominate the Pens but have some goals scored late on them against the Rangers and Canadians that cost the Canes a potentiality huge week.

This week's biggest story involved the return of Cory Stillman to Raleigh in a trade with the Florida Panthers.

We open up the mail bag for some great questions dealing with the trade deadline and then Between the Boards is all about the NHL trades as we break down each trade thus far and give our comments on each.

We close with a preview of a big week and then another random fact of the week dealing with 50 in 50.

2010 Regular Season Week 19

2011-02-21T17:00:00.000-08:00

Legendary week....at least off the ice.

The Canes lift 17 to the rafters this week but only get 2 points. Thanks to pretty much everyone in the middle part of the Eastern Conference, including Carolina, in a huge slump, the Canes are still in the top 8.

This week also featured a trade to San Jose of Ian White.

For Between the Boards we honor the man of the week, Rod Brind'Amour looking over his entire career both in Raleigh and elsewhere.

We close with a preview and amazing fact of the week.

The cost to download this show is the same as the chances as someone of ever wearing number 17 in Raleigh again.

2010 Regular Season Week 18

2011-02-13T19:06:00.000-08:00

The NHL has gone bananas....

The Canes spend the entire week on the road and have some crazy finishes. In three of the four games, goals scored in the final 90 seconds drastically impact the game. Ignoring the fact these games were on the road, the Canes played probably their toughest opponents during one week and came out pretty well.

Hands down the story in hockey this week was the two unreal games we saw with Boston / Montreal and Pittsburgh / Islanders. For the first time ever, due to these games being so memorable, we on the Storm Report Podcast talk about games having nothing to do with the Canes as we were fortunate enough to see both these games in entirety.

Between the Boards features some end of season predictions with oddsmakers dealing with both the Canes and the NHL as a whole.

We close with a preview of a week with opponents we saw this week and then close with a crazy fact dealing with the Islanders goalies this year.

Enjoy a great show. And do it while watching hockey. The NHL is exploding right now!

2010 Regular Season Week 17

2011-02-06T10:23:00.000-08:00

Bad week with great results.

The Canes get beat up by Tim Thomas and then lay an egg against the Leafs. Luckily for them Atlanta also dropped both games so that set up the most important game of the year and it turned out to be a great show.

For Between the Boards we pay tribute to arguably the best d-man to ever wear Canes red - number 2, Glen Wesley

Our week preview of 4 games on the road and a very interesting fact of the week closes us out.

All Star Show!!

2011-01-31T20:14:00.000-08:00

This is the BEST SHOW EVER!!

It's easy to forget the Canes actually had a few games this week - both wins - and there was even a nasty fight in there. We talk all about this.

Then it's all about the All Star Game. The draft, the skills, the game, opinions on the format and all that. Then it gets good.

Between the two of us, we were able to meet roughly 30 people, including players, involved with the NHL. We get into first hand accounts of players drunk and walking around Raleigh with no pants on, players with prostitutes, players criticizing the city they play in, players hitting on married women and let's not forget the all important trips to clubs late at night. Man do we have some stories....

Check out some awesome insider info before we do the standard preview and fact of the week. But it wasn't very standard actually...

We have done roughly 50 shows in our time, and this might be the best. Listen the entire way through - it's long but well worth it.

What a week! 6 points in 4 games is good good good.

With Brooks in Colorado, we do our technological show via the cell phone. We review each of the 4 games and we are in a happy mood.

After a quick All Star Note, we do one of the best Between the Boards segments of the year - mid-season report cards. That's right friends, we have played half of our games already and we have enough to give each player a grade.

The week preview looks a return of a former cane, an old rival and a huge division match up. A quick fact of the week before we close.

It's a great show. Lots of Canes banter and honest opinions. Very free as well.

Well the Canes win all 3 and have another great week.

We talk about all 3 wins and the spectacular play of all 4 lines for maybe the first time all season in terms of consistency for an entire week. The Canes pick up 6 points and more importantly do so in regulation denying their Eastern Foes no points.

For Between the Boards we go over our New Year's Resolutions - Canes style of course.

We close with a great week preview, a touching fact of the week and our typical non hockey related banter.

2010-12-19T17:58:00.000-08:00

What an amazing week! 3 wins in amazing fashion!

We talk about these amazing games - a 3 goal comeback win in Florida, a 2 goal 3rd period comeback win in Atlanta and killing off TWO 6 on 3's against Anaheim - to start the show.

For Between the Boards we unveil our 2nd unit of the Caniac Killer Team. Ollie Jokinen, Alexander Semin, Martin St. Louis, Brooks Orpik, Scott Stevens and Brent Johnson made up our starters, but who was their backups on this fantasy team of players who historically kill the Canes.

The Canes win and lose in 2 - 1 shootouts this week on the road in Dallas and St. Louis. We really saw some great performances from Cam Ward who stole the show this week.

The week started with some more roster moves that brought Ryan Carter to Carolina. With the new roster set, the Canes get three points including 2 in the best game the Canes have played this season and 1 in dramatic fashion.

We open up the email bag and then for Between the Boards pay tribute to the best player ever to put on the Red for Carolina, Ron Francis.

We close with a week preview, Brooks' random fact of the week and then a special delivery at the end of the show.

The Canes add some new players via the wave wire and a trade. With the new lineup, the Canes get 4 (not 3 - you will get the reason we say this once the show starts) points this week going 1-0-2. We discuss all three games and the controversial goal call in Pittsburgh.

For Between the Boards we reveal our votes for the NHL All - Star game. Amazingly, Robert and Brooks pretty much agree with the 6 votes.

What a crazy week with all three games seeing a team score 7 or more goals with the Canes coming up on the short end of those twice.

We open up our mailbag answering a question regarding our prediction for our top goal scorer and an inquiry about our farm team in Charlotte.

We do a long version of the Skinner watch and also look at his inclusion in EA Sports NHL 2011 and how he fares against other rookies and all players in the game.

We talk about a 4 game week where we question a coaching move, praise the offense, rip the defense and of course, rip Bryan Hoyle.

For Between the Boards we do some NHL trivia. Basically, it's an excuse for us to talk about crazy hockey stories and go over some amazing hockey stats.

We close with a week preview and then Brooks' Random Fact of the Week.

We recap a three game week with two shutouts at home and a great win in New York. But this show has so much more than this stuff..

We have a Bryan Hoyle mispronunciation of the week and we look at all the changes this season at the arena including our questionable new arena game host.

Between the Boards is Fill in the Blank where we talk about the first 10 games and who has been good and who has been bad.

A great week preview before a new segment - Brooks' Random Fact of the Week.

A good week Canes, a good week.

The Canes pick up four in the western time zones with wins in San Jose and one in Phoenix sandwiched around a loss in LA. We go in depth to into these and call both Tim Gleason and Justin Peters for "inexcusable" errors that cost the Canes the LA game.

For the Between the Boards it's headlines. We talk about news in the NHL and within the whole sport of hockey. And like usual, this brings some serious debate between Robert and Brooks.

We close with a week preview and then some silly banter. Like normal.

This week starts with a 3 - 2 loss in Ottawa that saw some good spark in the Canes despite the loss. We also discuss the hit on Pat Dwyer in this game.

We then discuss the lines for a good bit. We look at the realistic lines and the major changes this week and then it's mailbag time. We discuss, per an email request, our top 18 players if there were no contracts salaries or rules to worry about. We then discuss a 5 - 1 loss in Vancouver.

Between the Boards this week looks at the history of the Canes with their draft picks and some of the successes, and some of the failures.

We preview a game, which finally takes place in the States I might add before closing the show out.

2010-10-10T17:23:00.000-07:00

We clearly should play all games in Finland....

The Canes took a European vacation that was nothing short of a success. We start in Russia with the final pre-season game against SKA St. Petersburg. After this game, we had a great question in our mailbag about team toughness and this caused the first of many monologues by Brooks.

The season then opens up with two wins against the Minnesota Wild that saw guys like Jokinen, Sutter, Skinner and most importantly, Cam Ward showcase their talents.

It's then time for some Between the Boards where we do some season predictions with over/under for some stats on the Canes roster.

The week closes with a week preview and then all important announcement of Robert and Brooks' fantasy hockey team names.

Season in Review Part 3

2010-09-26T05:45:00.000-07:00

We've done this twice, why not thrice?

Our third and final part of our season in review show starts with the Olympic games where the Americans and Canadians battled for gold and all four Canes received medals.

We then get things going again in March where the Canes finished the mass exodus. Aaron Ward, Scott Walker, Joe Corvo, Stephane Yelle and Andrew Alberts all found new homes but curiously, Ray Whitney did not. Our spotlight game for March was a 4-0 loss to Phoenix, a game that served as a reality check to anyone with playoff dreams.

We wrap things up in April with a quick month. Our spotlight game came on the last home game of the season that saw the return of Casey Borer to the NHL from the Albany bus crash and Eric Staal sending the fans home without their free hats. We also look at all the stats from a horrific season.

The dramatic continuation of the 2009 - 2010 Season in Review for the Carolina Hurricanes continues now...

For this episode, we pick things back up in December. December saw Cam Ward return from his injury, a trade for a guy named Juri Tlusty, some Canes named to Olympic rosters and two Hurricanes headed to Philly in Kevin McCarthy and Michael Leighton. The spotlight game for this month was Tim Gleason's first game against Alex Ovechkin since the nasty kneeing penalty where then get's 30 stitches and scores the goal of the year all in the same night.

For January, we look back at the story of the season with Eric Staal becoming the fifth Captain in our franchise. This month saw good play from the Canes as they went 9-5 as well. Our spotlight game is a win in Atlanta - Staal's first game with the C.

February was a short month but saw Nic Wallin and Matt Cullen sent out of town and the debut of a young goalie named Justin Peters. Our spotlight game is a win on Long Island as Peter's makes his NHL debut stopping 34 of New York's 35 shots on him.

And a special moment for this show - the Bryan Hoyle mispronunciation of the season.

2010-09-12T06:35:00.000-07:00

Summer is over! It's time for hockey again and that also means it's time for the Storm Report Podcast again!

For our first show we roll out part 1 of our 3 part season in review show. This show looks back at training camp and all the roster moves the Canes did in a win now attitude. Our October spotlight game was a loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins which had the best hit of the year, best save of the year and gave the Canes hope amidst a 14 game losing streak.

We then roll into November which had three of the biggest stories for the entire season. The losing streak, the skate cut injuries to Cam Ward and Joe Corvo and one of if not the biggest story all season - our spotlight game for November - the Alex Ovechkin kneeing penalty on Tim Gleason in a loss to the Washington Capitals.

Part 1 is here and just like season, free for you to enjoy! We are happy you are back and we are happy to be back on the air!

Well the season is over and the Canes went out with a bang.

We score 8 goals in Tampa, Staal gets a 5 point night and the Canes allow the Bruins to get an NHL record. We look at a crazy week which included the official announcement of the NHL All - Star game in Raleigh and then do a quick statistical breakdown of the season.

For Between the Boards we answer the 10 big questions heading into the off-season including how the All Star game will affect hockey in Raleigh and what happens with the defense next year.

We finish the show with a playoff preview and picks in each round of the NHL playoffs.

Our last show is one of our best and like always, is free.

The season of pain is almost over.....

In this week's episode reviews a 4 game week with a few great wins, a heartbreaking loss and a awful loss. Really the big news this week, as we discuss, was the return of Cam Ward and the play of Brandon Sutter. Cam Ward was unreal, especially in the Montreal win, and Brandon Sutter got his 20th goal this week.

For Between the Boards, we reveal our number 1 moment in franchise history which is without a doubt the Canes winning the Stanley Cup back in 2006

We close with a quick look at some hockey news before previewing the final week of the season.

Martin St. Louis is good. Case in point, this week.

We look back at a 1-1-1 week with three games all in the Southeast division. We saw one of the best goals we have seen all year, one of the best games we have seen all year and one of the worst efforts all season long.

And just as Brian Hoyle was having a perfect week.....he blew it in the bottom of the 9th, so to speak.

For Between the Boards we do some fill in the blank Hurricane style. For example, we complete "I wish ________ would just shut up."

Four games next week, we preview them all.

The amount of playoff games the Canes play this year will be the same as the cost for this show (0).

Two wins, two losses. Not bad for a baaaaaaaad team.

We look back at one of the best games of the year with a win against Washington and the three other games to open the show. And once again, Brian Hoyle makes a mistake at the mic and we are right there to point it out.

For Between the Boards we do some point counterpoint talking about the physicality with hockey reviewing some of the big hits and whether the NHL should do anything about them.

Oh those silly Hurricanes...

The Canes look impressive but can't get a win, look awful and get a win against the champs and then look awful and get destroyed. Yeah, kind of a weird week. We review those three games and of course take a stab at our good friend Brian Hoyle for yet ANOTHER miscue at the announce table.

For Between the Boards we unveil our number two moment in franchise history, game 1 of the 2002 Stanley Cup Finals - a win against the Detroit Red Wings. We also play some very rare audio from the CBC telecast of this game.

We then close the show previewing another tough week with four games, three in Raleigh.

We recap anything and everything related to Olympic Hockey in what turned out to be the best hockey tournament this world has ever seen.

This breakdown looks at the amazing American run, a recap of the tournament and the amazing gold medal game where Canada came out on top. For the Canes we break down each of the Hurricanes in the Olympics and how they played.

We close the Olympic talk with the discussion of whether or not NHL players should be in the tournament or not.

And after this amazing spectacle, we return back to NHL play this week with 4 games for the Canes.

So the Canes and the Aves played this week right?

Brooks was pumped about the game and went to Colorado to check it out. Turns out the game was in Raleigh. Whoops.

Kidding.

However, Brooks really is in Colorado and hasn't had a chance to see the Canes demolishing of the Senators Sunday yet. So I decided to let him watch and get all those stats and stuff that he does so the show can, like usual, rock.

So we will record on Monday this week thanks to the invention of the speaker phone feature on my cell phone.

Well Robert made it back from Memphis in one piece and Brooks is happy because now 1/2 of the...well, 3/4 of the team is back and ready to talk hockey.

We start off the show talking about one of the better performances the Canes have seen this year both individually (Staal's 5 points) and as a team as the Canes dominated the Capitals. We then go over the very boring home and home with the Rangers to close out the week.

For Between the Boards Robert and Brooks debate various topics with some good ole fashioned Point Counterpoint such as if the Canes left out of the Olympics got screwed and whether the Edmonton Oilers deserved to pay their $16,000 plus tab at a Calgary restaurant or not.

But getting back down to Earth, my esteemed calleague Robert (or FR) is still in Memphis, no doubt frozen from the cold temps and the shock of his ECU Pirates' inability to kick a field goal. Regardless, we will be recording this week's episode of the SRP tomorrow evening, so check back here tomorrow night!

We recap the week that was to start off the show talking about the "comeback" against the Islanders, an interesting game in Colorado and the hit in that game, Ruutu's suspension as a result of that hit and yet another OT loss the next night in Minnesota.

After only 2 points this week, we get pretty mad in Between the Boards where both Robert and Brooks will rant about something about this team that is ticking us off right now.

We also recap the loss in New Jersey where the Canes were shutout by Brodeur and the Devils.

We take a quick look at the offensive problems and pretty much talk about how bad the Canes are at scoring goals right now with some numbers so bad that it may not be suitable for children under 13.
