Last Word on Hockey is pleased to present our new hockey podcast, the 4th Line. Coming from Calgary, AB and Nanaimo, BC, Carl and Joel provide their own unique and fun view of hockey. Every week the guys share their thoughts on the news of the week, have a variety of guests from the world of hockey and spend some time in segments like Kangaroo Court, The Rant Shack, and The Hot Seat.
The guys are back as Carl shares his excitement about Mikko Rantanen joining the Colorado Avalanche, and Joel has anger about the Toronto Maple Leafs blowing leads. Is Carl too excited about the Edmonton Oilers hot start to the season?
The 4th Line Podcast #103 – Edmonton Oilers Hot Start: Trust or Bust?
Carl and Joel also debut a new segment called “Trust or Bust” where they decide if hot or cold starts are for real, including:
- Jimmy Howard leading goals against average with the Detroit Red Wings
- The Minnesota Wild with Bruce Boudreau
- The Boston Bruins having two scorers in the top 10
- The Nashville Predators slow start
- Ben Bishop‘s poor numbers
- The Carolina Hurricanes basement dwelling
The guys also touch on the Chicago Blackhawk‘s terrible penalty kill and the Vancouver Canucks‘ lucky start, ending by bringing the last set of Pavel Bures for the mini stick prize pack giveaway for October’s Hi Sticking.
