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.

On this week’s episode, the guys are back as they record on the brink of Nail Yakupov trade from the Edmonton Oilers to the St. Louis Blues. Kris Russell also signs with the Oilers, wrapping up the summer that Russell rumors flew.
With Loui Eriksson paired with the Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin with the Vancouver Canucks, Joel is high on his production, while Carl is a little more skeptical. What does the future of the Canucks look like?
Martin St. Louis is having his number retired by the Tampa Bay Lightning. How soon does it take to welcome a player back into the fold after he retired; when he left on a sour note? For Lightning fans, it’s apparently not that long.
