Both Carl and Nick are supporters of undefeated teams. But how long will that last?Diving into the undefeated, which of these teams will be the first to lose? It can’t be the Avalanche or Red Wings, can it?

And what about the yet to be victorious? Which of the winless teams are most primed for a bounce back? Can we eliminate from the playoffs already?

What impact have the new rule changes had on games so far? Are coaches challenges used differently this year? Does picking the side on icing really matter?

Carl plays a round of “For or Against” starring such things as the Toronto Maple Leafs, Drew Doughty and Gary Bettman.

Also, a trade breaks mid show! Vladislav Namestnikov is off to Ottawa. But why?

With Dustin Byfuglien still away from the Winnipeg Jets, when will he return and what can the Jets do to fix their defense?

The 4th Line Podcast is a weekly hockey podcast hosted by Carl Landra and Nick Seguin. Every week they share their unique and fun take on what is happening in the world of hockey. While they don’t take themselves too seriously, they have a typical no 4th line attitude: what they lack in finesse, they make for in being willing to go to the corners and work hard to get the job done.

Who are Carl and Nick? Carl comes from Calgary, AB. His facial hair of choice is a mustache. His team of choice is the Colorado Avalanche and his smoked meat of choice is brisket. Nick comes from Toronto, ON. His facial hair of choice is a light beard. His team of choice is the Detroit Red Wings and his smoked meat of choice is ribs.
