Episode 76: NHL Enforcer Jersey Retirement

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 02:19:09 -0000

Many players in different organizations get their numbers retired for various reasons, goals, championships, points etc. But what about the players who protected them? Gave them room on the ice to make plays or came to their defense if liberties were taken. The often over looked importance of tough guys happens far to often especially in the year 2022 where the role of enforcer is pretty much a dodo bird now. This list was made to appreciate those franchise players who bled for the crest and their teammates. This is all just a personal opinion so take the list with a grain of salt if your favorite player isn't on here or I may have missed someone. We all make mistakes and we're only human.

Two of the biggest pests to ever play in the NHL are some how making headlines despite not playing hockey since the early 2000s! Sean Avery signed a contract with the Orlando Solar Bears of the ECHL this morning but it doesn't end there. Matt Barnaby has come out to challenge Sean Avery! Stating he will sign with any team in the same division as Orlando to drop the gloves with Sean Avery. Will Barnaby get signed to give us an old timer slug fest? Or do teams let Barnaby be.

Ep 66: Best NHL Enforcers ft 4thLineVoice

Tue, 25 Jan 2022 08:00:00 -0000

Some NHL teams have a rich history of toughness, other teams....not so much. Regardless, throughout the history of the NHL until the late 2010s, all teams have had a tough guy in one way or another. Whether it was King Kong or just a guy willing to throw down when his team needed him to. I brought on Darren from the 4thLineVoice podcast to help me break down every teams best enforcer in said team history. Some may be obvious and others may be sleeper picks. None the less it was fun to get out the whiskey and talk enforcers. You may not agree with our picks and that's fine, but just have fun and appreciate some old time hockey talk.

Episode 65: They Need Me To Bleed

Tue, 11 Jan 2022 08:00:00 -0000

Fighting has been very misconstrued over the years and many focus on win loss %. Fighting in hockey isn't just about winning but showing up for your team when they need it. Whether it's after a cheap shot or a swing in momentum, fighting can sway games. It's often forgotten that dropping the gloves for your team win or lose is the ultimate showing of a team guy.
