This week, The Hockey Show welcomed one birthday boy and two former Atlanta Thrashers

On the latest episode of The Hockey Show, a pair of former NHL players stopped by to talk Stanley Cup Playoffs.

First up was Florida Panthers radio analyst and NHL Network studio analyst Bill Lindsay.

Lindsay, who woke up bright and early to join the show from his hotel room in Boston, gave his take on the Brad Marchand-Sam Bennett situation and the Panthers-Bruins series as a whole.

The show was then joined by NHL on ESPN analyst Ray Ferraro, who is also known for his nickname Chicken Parm.

After discussing the origin of the nickname and how it all started over 20 years ago (thanks John Buccigross), the boys got into the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

In addition to going through each of the remaining series, Ferraro also listens to Marchand’s comments about the hit from Bennett and the three give their take on what he said.
