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?
