Golden Knights and Panthers on the cusp of Conference Finals sweeps, Craig Conroy takes over Flames, Penguins seek permission to speak with Kyle Dubas, and Ray Whitney talks Jamie Benn's cross-check

On the Wednesday roundtable, Rob, Jesse and Mike discuss the Golden Knights decimating the Dallas Stars in game three of the Western Final, the Jamie Benn cross check on Mark Stone and the unbelievable play of Adin Hill in net and Jack Eichel, leading Vegas to a three game to none series lead. The guys head out East to check on the Panthers and Hurricanes, with 8th seed Florida, led by Sergey Bobrovsky poised to sweep the Carolina Hurricanes. The guys comment on Craig Conroy becoming the General Manager of the Calgary Flames and the ongoing soap opera in Toronto after Kyle Dubas was not offered an extension to remain GM of the Maple Leafs, and where the highly sought after manager might end up next. Ray Whitney, Stanley Cup Champion with the 2006 Carolina Hurricanes joins the roundtable to talk about his career, what it was like to play for the Canes in Raleigh, and the Florida Panthers in Miami and the 'Wizard' takes us inside the Player Safety department of the NHL which he has worked for, under director George Parros since 2017, including breaking a little news about the hearing for Dallas Captain Jamie Benn after his vicious cross check on Mark Stone in the Stars game three loss to Vegas.
