The Always Wonderful Joel is back and him and Carl break down the news of the week in the NHL.

Auston Matthews is hurt. How much should the Toronto Maple Leafs be worried about the health of their young star moving forward? What impact does this have on the William Nylander negotations?

Jake Allen is questionable with an injury for the St. Louis Blues. What will it take to turn around the Blues?

The Vancouver Canucks have been shockingly good to start the year and the Philadelphia Flyers have been shockingly bad. When Elias Pettersson and James van Riemsdyk return will they set higher sites for both teams?

The NHL announced a new gambling program moving forward, and it shouldn't be surprising, but Uncle Gary might have done it for the money.

Mark Borowiecki was suspended for 1 game and then took a game misconduct (with a 3 game suspension handed out after the show was recorded). Did he deserve them?

Speaking of suspended players, Tom Wilson's suspension wasn't reduced and Nate Schmidt signed a contract extension. Apparently taking steroids pays in more ways than one.

Lastly, a new slate of Pavel Bure Must Watch Games is selected.

All this and more on a episode 204 of the 4th Line Hockey Podcast.
