It's a Halloween edition of The Hockey Show, and Roy, David, and Ethan are here to recap the week that was in the National Hockey League. The guys discuss the scoring-laden Frozen Frenzy that took place Tuesday night, the potential Olympic rosters for the United States and Canada, and some major extensions signed around the league this week. David has this weekend's parlay in Puck Luck, and the boys share their wins and fails of the week, including an epic Halloween costume from a Panthers fan, an empty net disaster in the AHL, and Connor Bedard's first career hat trick. Then, 2x Gold Medalist and former captain of Team Canada's women's hockey team, Cassie Campbell-Pascall, joins the show and gives her thoughts on the Panthers' slow start, young stars that could break through onto this year's Olympic rosters, and her experience as an Olympian. Finally, the boys leap into the Panthers Den to recap a light week for the Panthers that featured a resounding win over the Vegas Golden Knights and a shootout loss to the Anaheim Ducks.
