The 4th Line Hockey Podcast

It's time for us to wrap up another 4th Line show.  This week we take one last look at the NHL news of the week (Matthew Tkachuk traded for Jonathan Huberdeau, Hockey Canada scandal) and then re-live some of our favorite moments. Dave and Gary, as well as The Always Wonderful Joel, make their hosting returns, reflecting on their times on the show. Our best and worst moments of the show are selected as we cycle through our favorite segments. We also take one last effort to solve the Royal Rumble debate: Who should have been the winner? Some of you sent final messages and questions for us. Thank you all for listening and being a part of this podcast journey! We really appreciate it all!

With 2 games of the Stanley Cup Final in the bag, we record during the first period of Game 3 between the Colorado Avalanche and the Tampa Bay Lightning. During it, we discuss: Andrei Vasilevsky's active stick in Game 1 Colorado's adjustments and successes in a blowout Game 2 Penalties called (and not) throughout the playoff Which trade deadline is better for Tampa: Nick Paul or Brandon Hagel? This week a number of coaches found new teams, so we breakdown: Bruce Cassidy to the Vegas Golden Knights John Tortorella to the Philadelphia Flyers Pete DeBoer to the Dallas Stars Ryan Huska to the Chicago Blackhawks We also had a trade this week!

The Stanley Cup Final is here! Let's find out if Carl is emotionally prepared for it. After making quick work of the Edmonton Oilers, the Colorado Avalanche had to wait to find out their opponent.  The Tampa Bay Lightning bounced back after two loses to eliminate the New York Rangers, after a late goal seemed to break their confidence. Was their any way that New York could over come the Tampa forecheck? Nick provides Carl with the help that he needs heading into a stressful Stanley Cup Final. How does one properly prepare for this? We also look at the goalie matchup of Darcy Kuemper vs Andrei Vasilevsky, the annoying schedule and whether Conference Final trophies should be touched. The Buffalo Sabres are retiring Ryan Miller's number. But is he eventually destined for the Hall of Fame? All this and more on episode 384 of the 4th Line Hockey Podcast!

The NHL Conference Finals are well underway! With the New York Rangers moving past the Carolina Hurricanes, they're primed for a goalie matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning. But is Andrei Vasilevsky vs. Igor Shesterkin living up to the billing? The Colorado Avalanche and Edmonton Oilers have had a slew of controversial plays, including Evander Kane's hit on Nazem Kadri and Cale Makar's offside call. Were the right calls made? Darcy Kuemper had to leave, replaced by Pavel Francouz. Will he be good enough? Martin St. Louis stays as the coach of the Montreal Canadiens, while Bruce Cassidy is fired by the Boston Bruins. Why did Boston feel the need to make the move? Patrice Bergeron was the winner of the Selke trophy, which begs the question: When should we re-name awards after a player? Darryl Sutter won the Jack Adams trophy, which begged another question: Should Coach of the Year award be handed out on a 3 year rotiation?
