In a very special episode of The 5th Line, where all 3 sit around the same table, the guys find out what random super powers they have been gifted. How do these super powers work for or against each of them? What if they were to fight against each other? Who would win? And why did Carl's man crush do the things that he did in Avenger's Infinity War? If you would like to play along at home, get a random super power of your own! http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Random  As Joel has to leave the show early, Carl and Mike are left alone to answer Mike's Weird Question, exploring the options of doing good or evil, and making profit from it.    Twitter: twitter.com/4thLinePodcast Facebook: facebook.com/the4thlinepodcast Patreon: patreon.com/4thLinePodcast Email: [email protected] Intro music by Erik Hall of Ane Croft anecroftmusic.bandcamp.com/releases Part of the Alberta Podcast Network powered by ATB Financial

This week Joel is replaced by two fantastic guests as Steven and Rachel from the Hockey Feels join us, diving into the Conference Finals. Why have the series been close but the games haven't been?  Everyone either loves or hates the Vegas Golden Knights. Where do we stand with them in the Conference finals, and why? Are there ways that an additional off ice official can be added to make calls as accurate as possible? How would this play out? Kyle Dubas has been named general manger of the Toronto Maple Leafs. What does this mean for the future of the team?  Lastly, a Hi Sticking Champion is crowned for the 2nd round and a fresh slate is started for the 3rd round!  All this and more on a brand new 4th Line Podcast!

Half of the Conference Finals have been set, meaning that the Boston Bruins and San Jose Sharks have been sent home empty handed. In the middle of Boston's elimination, Brad Marchand started licking people again. What should the punishment have been? With Marchand taking to Twitter the morning after, Joel let's us know about his current Twitter goals. Who do the Tampa Bay Lightning match up better against, or does it even matter? Can Tampa punch their ticket to the Stanley Cup Final right now? When it comes to playoff narratives, Alex Ovechkin seems to always struggle, while Jake Guentzel has hit another gear. Do we believe either of these? The Vegas Golden Knights continue to defy the odds. Who can actually stop them? How does the success of Vegas impact the expansion draft for the Seattle Future NHL Team?  Carl almost spoils a movie. Multiple times. When is it okay to talk about a new movie? Lastly, a #HiSticking update which features a Hi Sticking expert at the top of the standings!

A day later than usual, we find out that The 4th Line Podcast make a pretty good slo pitch team. Lou Lamoriello is out as the General Manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs. What is his role with the team now and who is the next GM? Meanwhile, Brian Burke is no longer with the Calgary Flames' front office. Is an extended time doing TV in his future? What does this mean for Calgary? Front office shifting happens for the Carolina Hurricanes as well. Tuukka Rask threw a tuukka tantrum in Game 1 of the Boston Bruins game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Why are more people concerned about if the goal should have counted then what happened after the goal?  The other 3 series are reviewed after a historically even start to the 2nd round. Mike Laybourne brings us a Hi Sticking review of the Round 1 of the playoffs, and we choose a winner of this round of Hi Sticking. An update on the 2nd round Hi Sticking happens as well. Head over to Twitter and join us for Hi Sticking!

The first round nears the end, which means that Carl's Colorado Avalanche finally have their season ended. Is the Counselling Couch needed? The Nashville Predators and Winnipeg Jets face off in round 2. Are the Preds still the favorite in the West? The Tampa Bay Lightning made easy work of the New Jersey Devils. Will Nikita Kucherov be able to lead the team into the 2nd round? Officiating is still terrible. How much does it impact the quality of the game? After scoring 28 goals in 6 games, the Pittsburgh Penguins eliminated the Philadelphia Flyers. Can the Pens 3 peat? Are we sick of Pens vs Washington Capitals? If they advance, is this finally Washington's year? After a couple of sweeps, the Vegas Golden Knights and San Jose Sharks are rested and ready for round 2. What will it take to stop the Golden Knights? Chuck Fletcher is out as the general manager of the Minnesota Wild.  Bill "Don't Call Me Jim" Peters is officially hired by the Calgary Flames.  Joel's Toronto Maple Leafs try to come back against the Boston Bruins. Joel tries to hold it together as his team holds onto the playoffs. Lastly, there is a Hi Sticking update, with 400 points handed out in the 1st round of the playoffs. We start fresh in round 2!

One week into the Stanley Cup playoffs Joel sees the Penguins, including Hot Dog and Philip.  The Toronto Maple Leafs managed to get a win in game 3 over the Boston Bruins. Is that enough to give Joel hope. After Nazem Kadri's 3 game suspension, is it too much when compared to other punishment handed out? What would have been fair? Cory Schneider and Braden Holtby have taken back the nets for the New Jersey Devils and Washington Capitals. Is it too little too late? Do teams struggle to play well in front of the bonafide #1 starter? If Phil Kessel were to read slam poetry, what would it be about? The Colorado Avalanche chased Pekka Rinne in game number 3. Is there any chance that he'll continue to struggle? Linemen and referees are under intense scrutiny in the playoffs, but have they been extra horrible this post season? Three teams are already looking for new coaches next season, with Alain Vigneault, Ken Hitchcock and Glen Gulutzan leaving the New York Rangers, Dallas Stars and Calgary Flames respectively. Who should be their replacements and where will they end up? The Vezina candidates are announced. Are they right? Lastly, there is a Hi Sticking update, with hundreds of points being handed out so far!

Following a tragic accident, former host Gary brings a tribute to the Humboldt Broncos and coach Darcy Haugen. May they rest in peace. The 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs are here! And somehow, with many thanks to Carl's reverse jinxes, the Colorado Avalanche made the playoffs. How must Matt Duchene feel about this? Now that they are in the playoffs, how quickly will the Avalanche be eliminated by the Nashville Predators? In the rest of the Western Conference, the Minnesota Wild face the Winnipeg Jets. How much will the Wild miss Ryan Suter? The Vegas Golden Knights have had a historic run this season. Will it end at the hands of the LA Kings?  Following the injury train, can the Anaheim Ducks survive against the San Jose Sharks without Cam Fowler and with an ailing John Gibson? Heading to the Eastern Conference, the Philadelphia Flyers vs Pittsburgh Penguins begs the question: when will the Penguins stop being good? The Washington Capitals vs Columbus Blue Jackets makes Joel wonder if the Capitals are the perfect post hype sleepers. The Tampa Bay Lightning managed to win the Atlantic Division facing the New Jersey Devils. How easily can a banged up Lightning team handle New Jersey? Lastly, the Boston Bruins face Joel's Toronto Maple Leafs. Boston has been the better team on paper, but can Toronto avenge old demons and beat the Bruins? We also crown Logan as our newest Hi Sticking winner and start a new round of Playoff Hi Sticking!

The playoffs are one week away, so Carl and Joel are back to preview the push to the playoffs. But first, what is the best Easter candy? The Florida Panthers are all but eliminated in the East, but who will finish where? After removing the Colorado Avalanche from the Elimination Station, will they go back in? Or will the St. Louis Blues be the last casualty of the season? Who makes the playoffs ov Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin have retired from the NHL. Where do they rank as the greatest Vancouver Canucks of all time?  Erik Karlsson picked up the puck following his final game in Ottawa. Does this mean his time with the Ottawa Senators has come to an end?  Lastly, the final Pavel Bure Must Watch Games of the Week are selected.

Carl is ready to celebrate his victory in The 4th Line Podcast's fantasy league and Joel is disappointed with those who played against Carl. The Anaheim Ducks were afraid to play against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers in overtime this week. Is this a trend that we could see growing? What could be done to counter it? Should it be a penalty? Don Cherry had comments about Eugene Melnyk and the Ottawa Senators that are generally accepted as wrong. Is it finally time to call it quits with Coach's Corner? The Dallas Stars head to the Elimination Station. Is Ben Bishop enough for this team? How do you add to Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn to make this team a contender? Will they make the playoffs next season? Steven Stamkos is taking a rest, or hurt. Either way, who have the better Stanley Cup chances this year: Tampa Bay Lightning or Boston Bruins? As a new Hi Sticking champion is crowned, so changes are made to how the game is played. Now everyone has a chance to win, no matter how many points you get! This leads to the Pavel Bure Must Watch Games of the Week to be played, paired with the new Hi Sticking rules.
