Then, they check in on top prospect Brayden Yager who is lighting up the WHL Playoffs with a chance to head to the Memorial Cup.

Penguins forward Lars Eller more than exceeded expectations this year

When the Pittsburgh Penguins signed Lars Eller, Hunter and Patrick didn't have high expectations but he certainly had a very solid season as their third-line center. They do his season in review and look at what he can do next year. Does he still need some help on his line? Can fans expect him to score 15 goals again? After that, the guys talk about some more UFA candidates they would like to see the Penguins take a run at in order to bolster the team's depth, especially up front. Who are some of those forwards? Are any of them "dream signings?" Finally, the two discuss how the Penguins have a slim chance of moving up in the NHL Draft since the lottery is tonight before the Warrior Helmet makes a surprise appearance on Tuesday for the MVP of the first round of the playoffs.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

Can Bryan Rust continue being a top Penguins forward?

It's time for another season review and this time, Hunter and Pat discuss Bryan Rust. They look back at his excellent season and break down what went right for him. They also look at the numbers and how he contributed most of his work at 5-on-5 before pondering if he deserves an "A" on his sweater every night. They then look at if he can continue this heading into next year even though he'll be a bit older. After that, they look at some bounce-back candidates for next season, including Rickard Rakell and maybe even Noel Acciari. Finally, they discuss their second-round playoff picks and look at how Wheeling is doing in the Kelly Cup Playoffs. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

Penguins part ways with Todd Reirden, who should replace him?

The Pittsburgh Penguins made a big announcement on Friday, announcing the firing of Todd Reirden. Hunter and Pat start the show by breaking down the firing and how the Penguins had no choice but to do this. They analyze how badly the power play was (yet again) and discuss how this could make some of the core a bit uncomfortable, (which is good!). After that, they discuss how this should put the "rift" rumors between Sullivan and Dubas to bed. They then look at who could replace Reirden on the bench, including Jay Woodcroft. Hunter details what he was great at during his time in Edmonton and how he coached up a really good power play before he got let go. Pat then gives another option for who the Penguins could bring in before they end the show with some playoff talk.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

Can the Penguins find a trading partner for Tristan Jarry?

Is there a chance that the Pittsburgh Penguins find a trade partner for Tristan Jarry out west? After seeing the Los Angeles Kings lose to the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday night, Hunter and Patrick believe that the Kings could be a destination to send Jarry this offseason. They look at how it makes sense for the Kings because of their goaltending situation and how Rob Blake hasn't shied away from making big moves to help the team. They also look at how that move would help the Penguins moving forward before looking back on a polarizing season for the team's big offseason acquisition, Erik Karlsson. They discuss how he had a season of highs and lows and give their take on whether he'll be better next year. finally, they tackle the biggest question surrounding the organization...is it time for a rebuild?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

Penguins makes some minor league coaching changes!

The Pittsburgh Penguins made some changes to their AHL team on Sunday after Wilkes-Barre lost in the opening round of the AHL Playoffs and Hunter and Pat are here to discuss it. They start with how WBS had a very disappointing end to the season and how it shouldn't be a surprise that Jason Spezza and Kyle Dubas made some changes since WBS should've won this series. Hunter and Pat look at what type of coach Spezza and Dubas will look for down in WBS before looking at what this means for Mike Sullivan heading into next season. After that, they discuss Wheeling advancing to Round 2 of the ECHL Playoffs before ending the show with some thoughts about the Stanley Cup Playoffs.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

Should the Penguins extend Marcus Pettersson this summer?

The Pittsburgh Penguins have some important restricted free agents this summer and Hunter and Pat are here to give their thoughts on which ones to bring back. They start with PO Joseph after he had a great end to the season. Does that warrant a roster spot heading into next season? Where would he fit if he were to come back? They then analyze Emil Bemstrom's season and if he showed management enough to warrant coming back for another season. After that, they dive into other free agents, such as Jack St. Ivany (which should be a no-brainer) and Sam Poulin. Hunter and Pat then look at which players could be extension candidates this offseason outside of Sidney Crosby. Should Marcus Pettersson be re-upped? What about Drew O'Connor?

The Penguins season comes to an end with yet another blown lead

The Pittsburgh Penguins played their final game of the year on Wednesday night and it was a 5-4 loss to the New York Islanders. Hunter and Pat start the show by recapping the game and give their positives and negatives. They look at how it was actually a fairly fun game between the two teams while shouting out the second line for how good it was again. They also discuss Jeff Carter's emotional night and reminisce on his great career, even though he lost a step throughout the last year or two. They go into how he got a great send-off with the opening faceoff and goal, plus how great he was when he first got to the Penguins. They then do a quick lookahead to the offseason and how busy Kyle Dubas should be this summer by thanking everyone for their support during this season.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

Penguins and Capitals set for one of their biggest showdowns!

The Pittsburgh Penguins and the Washington Capitals are set to play another huge game on Thursday night with plenty of playoff implications and Hunter and Pat are here to set the stage for it.

Penguins have our attention after furious third-period comeback on Tuesday

The Pittsburgh Penguins are back in the playoff race after a massive win against the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night. Hunter and Pat marvel at how this team has clawed their way back into it and dive into Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin's tremendous performances. They analyze how they picked them up from the mat and carried them to that comeback. They also discuss the play that Erik Karlsson made at the blue line and how that was also a major factor that started the comeback. Both then analyze how this was the best third period of the season before looking at the recent play from Michael Bunting. Hunter looks at the impact that he had on the game and a couple of the goals while also preaching that he should not be taken off Malkin's line. Finally, they give their Warrior Helmets for this past week. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Malkin's big night leads the Penguins over the Blue Jackets!

The Pittsburgh Penguins made it two in a row over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night and Evgeni Malkin was a major reason why. Hunter and Pat start the show with the play from Geno and how he had one of his best games of the season. They discuss how he notched another 20-goal season and how he still has some miles left on those tires, despite being 37. No, he's not washed. After that, they dive into Sidney Crosby's performance and how he continues his strong stretch before analyzing Drew O'Connor's game and how he's been a major bright spot this season. They then look at the way the Penguins defended in the third period and wonder where that, plus the Carolina game, have been for most of this season. Finally, Hunter and Pat give their keys for the Penguins to sweep the home-and-home and the season series on Saturday night.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

They go into how Michael Bunting got things going before the team became fragile again after the Stars got a couple of goals. They analyze how the Penguins power play could take a couple of lessons from the Stars one before looking at how Tristan Jarry wasn't good enough when he needed to be. After that, they recap the 4-0 blown lead to the Colorado Avalanche and discuss how the team wilted after a very strong first half of the game. They look at how the team wasted Sidney Crosby's vintage performance and how this loss is the cherry on top for this season. They look at how things got started for the Penguins before they wilted, plus how the goaltending was also not good enough. Finally, they have a full discussion about the March goaltending to end the show and if this raises questions about Jarry for next year.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

The Penguins head west to take on the best

The Pittsburgh Penguins are heading out west to take on two of the NHL's best teams: the Dallas Stars and the Colorado Avalanche. Hunter Hodies is once again joined by his co-host Patrick Damp and the usual duo breaks down some roster decisions, how good the Dallas Stars are, and what they can do to win. Then, it's on Denver to talk about how the Colorado Avalanche will be another challenge, but how the Penguins were able to beat them before. Finally, while the math may still be there, the Penguins are likely done this season. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

The Penguins make a couple of practice changes, plus an update on Brayden Yager!

The Pittsburgh Penguins were back at practice on Thursday and they tweaked a couple of things. It's where Hunter starts for this solo episode of the show as Mike Sullivan must've listened to the podcast. Ryan Graves is not with Erik Karlsson anymore and that has Hunter super excited. Hunter is solo again today since Pat is still on IR and dives into why Graves could be a good candidate to be healthy scratched for the Penguins next game. Is it time to see what the team has in Jack St. Ivany? Hunter also gets into that before discussing how Brayden Yager has played this year. Finally, could the Penguins be interested in Collin Graf? Hunter goes into detail about Elliotte Friedman's report and analyzes why Graf makes a lot of sense as an NCAA free agent.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Abysmal start dooms the Penguins in New Jersey

The Pittsburgh Penguins didn't play well against the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night and that's where Hunter starts Wednesday's episode. He's solo for the episode since Pat had to undergo surgery and starts the show with how bad of a start the Penguins have and rants about Ryan Graves again. Is there a way for the Penguins to bring him back for next season? How has it gotten this bad so fast? He analyzes how he got burned once again to start the game and what he needs to improve on. He then praises Sidney Crosby for at least doing what he can do to try and get the Penguins back in it and how his point-per-game streak is still intact. Finally, Hunter gives his pick for Warrior Helmet Wednesday, along with Pat's for this Wednesday.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Can the Penguins exorcise their demons in New Jersey?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are looking to keep their faint playoff hopes alive and that's where Hunter and Pat start Tuesday's show. They preview Tuesday night's game against the New Jersey Devils and how the Penguins can snap their six-game losing streak against them. They give their keys for the game and how they have to slow this game down, plus get on the Devils early since it's rare when they score first. They then discuss the latest comments from Kyle Dubas on Mike Sullivan and whether he's going to be back next year. Was this just lip service from Dubas? Could things change? Finally, Hunter and Pat remember Konstantin Koltsov. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Penguins get a weekend split, stay alive in the playoff race

The Pittsburgh Penguins were able to split this weekend's back-to-back and stay alive in the playoff race even though it's unlikely that they'll make the playoffs. Hunter and Pat start the show with their thoughts on the game against the New York Rangers and how the Penguins' offense showed up but everything else lacked. They dive into how poor the team was defensively and how Tristan Jarry didn't have his best. That said, they do get into some positives, including how Sidney Crosby woke back up after a small slumber. They also analyze how Valtteri Puustinen continues to play super well and how he's earned a spot on the team for next year. After that, they break down the win against the Detroit Red Wings and how the Penguins dominated them from start to finish. They shout out the new third line, plus give Crosby his flowers again for his performance before ending the show with a look at the week ahead.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

The challenge that the Rangers bring to town on Saturday afternoon and how the Penguins can steal two points from one of the Eastern Conference's best teams. Finally, the fading Detroit Red Wings come to town on Sunday and it's a game that very much could have playoff implications. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Patrick and Hunter discuss what led to the loss, the issues the Penguins have when it comes to scoring goals and playing a full 60-minute game. Then, they lament the lack of support for Tristan Jarry who once again put together a stellar performance but was unable to get a win.

Is it time for the Penguins to call a couple of select forwards up from WBS?

The Pittsburgh Penguins return to action on Tuesday night against the Ottawa Senators looking to snap their three-game losing streak and Hunter and Pat are here to preview the game. They look at how the Penguins can slow down some of the Senators' top players and what they're looking to see from them in this game since they've been badly outclassed over the last week. They also discuss how the Penguins appear to be getting Drew O'Connor back, which is a big deal based on his play from this season. After that, they look at who the Penguins could recall from WBS for potentially the rest of the season before ending the show with an early preview of who could get moved during the offseason.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

The Penguins are just not a good hockey team...

The Pittsburgh Penguins' spiral continued over the weekend with back-to-back losses to the Boston Bruins and Edmonton Oilers and it's probably going to get worse before it gets better. They dive into the Bruins loss to start the show and how the Penguins' defensive work was abysmal throughout the first 60 minutes. They discuss how their line changes were awful and how Alex Nedeljkovic could only do so much (even though he still had a meh game overall). After that, they recap the loss to the Oilers and how they lost that game in the opening two minutes with that awful giveaway by Kris Letang. They also discuss how the Penguins had too much perimeter play against the Oilers, but do give a couple of positives with the play of Michael Bunting and Bryan Rust.

Penguins deadline moves do not inspire that much confidence

The Pittsburgh Penguins were busy at the trade deadline but how did they do? Hunter and Pat give their full thoughts and analysis of the Jake Guentzel trade, and whether or not Kyle Dubas did enough before diving into the other moves. They look at whether this was an underwhelming return for Jake or not before discussing the Ruhwedel trade and his lack of other trades. Did Dubas do enough at the deadline? Is this considered a failure by him? They then look back at Thursday night's awful loss against the Washington Capitals before ending the show with a preview for the two games against the Boston Bruins and Edmonton Oilers this weekend. All that, plus how Michael Bunting does fill a need, is on this edition of the Locked On Penguins podcast.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Where will the Penguins send Guentzel with 24 hours until the deadline?

We've got 24 hours until the NHL Trade Deadline and on this edition of the Locked On Penguins Podcast, Patrick and Hunter discuss where Jake Guentzel may end up and who the Penguins should get for him. Then, oh yeah, there's actual hockey to be played! They preview a mostly meaningless Penguins vs. Capitals matchup set for Thursday night at PPG Paints Arena.

Penguins bank two points against the Blue Jackets, but what's next?

The Pittsburgh Penguins once again beat the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night but it wasn't their best effort. To start the show, Hunter and Pat dive into a recap for the Penguins win over the Jackets and how the Penguins should feel pretty fortunate that they got the two points. They discuss how the team should've been a lot better since the Jackets had played the night before and then got into some of the positives, including Reilly Smith and Evgeni Malkin. They marvel at how the two got their mojo back in this game and wonder where it's been for some time. They especially praise Malkin for his performance as he showed that he still has more left in the tank. They analyze Jesse Puljujarvi's game and how he got on the scoresheet before getting to the latest on Jake Guentzel. Is a trade going to be completed by tonight? What teams are still involved? They discuss that before ending the show with Warrior Helmet Wednesday.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Looks like it's selling season for the Penguins!

The Pittsburgh Penguins have made things easy on Kyle Dubas for this week and that's what Hunter and Pat start with for today's show. They dive into what went wrong this weekend and how fragile this team is, starting with the game against the Calgary Flames. They analyze how the Penguins fell apart in the final 10 minutes of the third period and how that ended their season before briefly discussing the loss to the Edmonton Oilers. They discuss how the team showed no heart and no effort in that game and how it looks like Mike Sullivan can't be back behind the bench next season before ending the show with a trade deadline primer. Who should stay? Who should go? What type of returns are we looking for?

Penguins can't score in Seattle, now need points in Alberta...

The Pittsburgh Penguins were unable to make it four in a row against the Seattle Kraken on Friday, and Hunter and Pat are here to recap that game. They discuss how the Penguins came out with a purpose but weren't able to get the result since their game tailed off going into the third period. Hunter analyzes why how that happened and how the Kraken gave Mike Sullivan a taste of his own medicine with how the Penguins used to defend leads. They look at how the Penguins played their top hits from this game and how these next two games have to yield at least three points. After that, they preview Saturday's matchup against the Calgary Flames and how the Penguins can get two crucial points in such a massive night for the Flames. Finally, they preview the first matchup between the Penguins and Oilers and how the Penguins can somehow slow down Connor McDavid.

Penguins look to make it four in a row against Seattle

The Penguins are back with some late-night hockey when they take on the Seattle Kraken and they look to make it four straight. Patrick and Hunter break down what the Penguins need to do to get their fourth-straight win. However, they'll be without winger Bryan Rust who was placed on IR on Thursday - who needs to step up in his absence? The boys answer that question and then they close out the show with some Jake Guentzel trade proposals. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Penguins get their best win of the year against the Canucks!

Whew! What a win for the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night and Hunter and Pat are here to fully recap it. They start with how that was arguably the win of the season and how they showed a lot of guts coming back to win that game. They look at the effort the team showed to battle back before turning things over to the Erik Karlsson goal. Hunter lowkey goes at some of the small Karlsson haters and shows why he's been one of their best players throughout this season. Yes, he's had some warts, but what player hasn't? After that, they dive into how the kids are performing, including Valtteri Puustinen. They discuss how he's growing up in front of our very eyes and how he has earned a spot on this team for the rest of the season. They also continue to marvel at how good Drew O'Connor has been before shouting out Lars Eller for his effort (even though he's not a kid). Finally, they give their picks for Warrior Helmet Wednesday.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Penguins face a massive test against the Canucks

The Pittsburgh Penguins start their Western Canada trip with a bang on Tuesday night with a matchup against the Vancouver Canucks. To start the show, Hunter and Pat preview that game and detail what the Penguins need to do to win it. They look at how the start will be insanely important, along with sticking to the blueprint. After that, they discuss Bryan Rust's injury and how that will impact the top six. They analyze whether putting Reilly Smith up with the top six is the right move while looking at how the new-look third line could be really intriguing. Finally, they discuss what Rust's injury could mean for the trade deadline as that's about a week and a half away.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

The Pittsburgh Penguins got their 2 biggest points of the season on Sunday against the Philadelphia Flyers and Hunter and Pat start the show with Sidney Crosby's brilliance as he had another stupendous performance. They look at how Crosby carried the Penguins into the fight and how his teammates responded in a big way. They analyze how Crosby was able to toy with the Flyers, plus how the Penguins were able to get contributions from everyone in the lineup, despite a bad performance from Tristan Jarry. They look at Emil Bemstrom's debut, Drew O'Connor's goal, plus so much more before looking ahead to the Western Canada Trip. After that, they detail some of the latest trade rumblings surrounding the Penguins and discuss whether it's wise to potentially move on from Tristan Jarry based on recent reports.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

The Penguins' Emil Bemstrom era begins with a bang!

The Pittsburgh Penguins got back in the win column with a 4-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens and Hunter and Pat recap the game to start the show, They first shout out Tristan Jarry for his performance after he delivered another gem. They marvel at his consistency throughout the season and how he came up with a lot of timely saves before shouting out Kris Letang. Yes, he had a bad turnover early in the game but he still played like a man on a mission afterwards. After that, they analyze the performances of Drew O'Connor and Valtteri Puustinen before shouting out Erik Karlsson for a strong game. In the second segment, they then break down the Emil Bemstrom trade and how he fits the Penguins as a player. They also look at the condition of the sixth-round pick and how it's not as big of a deal as people are making it out to be. Finally, they preview Sunday's massive matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Kyle Dubas provides clarity on the Penguins' future...sort of

Kyle Dubas spoke to the media on Wednesday and he had quite a bit to say about the Pittsburgh Penguins. Hunter and Pat give their thoughts on what they liked about the presser versus what they didn't. They go into plans for the future of this team, plus what the likely plan will be at the trade deadline. After that, they dive into his comments regarding the coaching staff and how he failed to challenge everyone, plus how his thought process is right regarding getting younger players even if it took him a bit to get there. After that, they recap the Islanders game and analyze why Mike Sullivan made some rash decisions late in that game and in overtime. Finally, they discuss a weird quote that he had today before giving out their Warrior Helmets. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Penguins with a gut-punch of a loss on Jagr Night

The Pittsburgh Penguins had a tremendous ceremony for Jaromir Jagr on Sunday evening but the team wasn't able to get the win after it concluded. Before Hunter and Pat recap the game, they discuss the ceremony and how the Penguins get an A+ for delivering on how good it was.

They look at how the team did right by him this entire weekend and go into detail about other things regarding his ceremony before crushing the 2023-24 team for losing that game to the Kings. They discuss how the Penguins didn't have much of a forecheck throughout, especially in the third period, and how that's a bit concerning since the Kings had just played on Saturday. They also continue to discuss how there are too many passengers on the team and how it might finally be time to start selling off some assets. Finally, they look at the week ahead for this team.

Penguins with a gut-punch of a loss on Jagr Night

The Pittsburgh Penguins had a tremendous ceremony for Jaromir Jagr on Sunday evening but the team wasn't able to get the win after it concluded. Before Hunter and Pat recap the game, they discuss the ceremony and how the Penguins get an A+ for delivering on how good it was. Hunter details what he saw when he was at the game and how he even got a bit emotional, plus what Pat thought as Jagr was giving his speech. They look at how the team did right by him this entire weekend and go into detail about other things regarding his ceremony before crushing the 2023-24 team for losing that game to the Kings. They discuss how the Penguins didn't have much of a forecheck throughout, especially in the third period, and how that's a bit concerning since the Kings had just played on Saturday.

Penguins bringing good vibes into Jagr night!

The Pittsburgh Penguins got a much-needed victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday night and Hunter and Pat start the show by glossing over Sidney Crosby after he put the team on his back once again. They discuss how he looked upset right when the opening puck drop happened and how he was determined to not let this team lose. They also praise Reilly Smith and Rickard Rakell for having strong performances before diving into the loss of Jake Guentzel. Is that it for the season? If not, how can the Penguins survive without him for the next 3-4 weeks? Finally, they preview Sunday's matchup against the Los Angeles Kings and reminisce on Jaromir Jagr as he's set to have his number retired.

Penguins look to get back on track against the Cats!

The Pittsburgh Penguins are set to be back in action against the Florida Panthers on Wednesday night and they'll be playing with a different lineup. That's right, they're playing with 11 forwards and seven defensemen, which means the combinations will be scrambled. Hunter and Pat discuss how clunky it will be while also coming up with at least a couple of positives for this lineup. Will we see who plays better with Ruhwedel between Ludvig and POJ? They get into that, plus how nobody can hide their bad play since the team is down a forward. After that, they analyze how the Penguins can get two points in this game as these next 10 games are do-or-die. They give their keys to the game before ending the show with Warrior Helmet on Wednesday.

Are the Penguins overdue for a coaching change?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are off on Tuesday but there's still plenty to discuss when it comes to this team, including the lineup for this week. Hunter and Pat start by discussing how the Penguins could have to go 11/7 for a couple of games this week depending on how long Acciari and Harkins will be out for. Are there advantages to it or is it too clunky? After that, they analyze whether Mike Sullivan should be on the hot seat and potentially lose his job after this season. They discuss the pros and cons of what he's brought to the organization and ponder what it would take for the team to actually make a change. Also: Who pays the price if this team misses the playoffs again? Finally, they look at the week ahead and how the season is on the brink heading into their games over the next few days.

After a bad weekend for the Penguins...what's next?

The Pittsburgh Penguins failed to get any points from this weekend and Hunter and Pat are here to tell everyone what went wrong for this team. They detail how the same issues continue to pop up and how they can be fixed heading into the rest of the month before the trade deadline. They also analyze how this team is allergic to scoring goals and how that's been a massive problem over the last month. They then look to the future and get into a long debate about what Kyle Dubas should do for the rest of the season. Should he get this team some help? Should he look towards the Summer a little bit more? They also look back at Dubas' moves over the summer and how a lot of them haven't panned out, which is a little bit scary.

Penguins set to take on Marc-Andre Fleury for perhaps the final time...

The Pittsburgh Penguins are back in action on Friday night against the Minnesota Wild and it might be Marc-Andre Fleury's final game against his former team. Hunter and Pat start the show by reminiscing on Fleury's time with the Penguins and how he's one of a kind. They discuss how he was a beacon of hope when fans needed one and how he's always been one of the best people in hockey. They then go through some of their favorite memories from his time as a Penguin before previewing the game against the Wild. Hunter and Pat give their keys for how the Penguins can skate out of this one with a win before ending the show with a preview of Saturday night's game against the Winnipeg Jets.

Who steps up for the Penguins on the PK with Noel Acciari out, with Nick Brlansky!

The Pittsburgh Penguins will be without a member of their bottom six for the next little bit and Nick Brlansky joins Hunter to break all of that down. Nick takes the place of Pat (just before today) since Pat is a bit under the weather and he helps Hunter analyze what Acciari's absence will mean for the team going forward. They discuss his impact on the PK and in the defensive zone and how that will be missed before looking at who the Penguins should call up from WBS. Should the team cave and call up Sam Poulin? Is it time for him to get his shot? They also give other options for who could get called up before diving into the trade deadline. What does Nick think the team should do right now? Has Hunter's opinion changed at all? Finally, they end the show with Billy Guerin being hired as Team USA's GM and how that could lead to Mike Sullivan being the head coach.

Penguins fly over the Jets in BIG shutout victory!

The Pittsburgh Penguins started the unofficial second half of the season with a bang on Tuesday night and Hunter and Pat are here to talk all about it. They first start with how great of a performance this was by everyone involved for this team and how they stuck to the blueprint defensively. They also analyze Kris Letang's performance and how he continues to be a rock on the blue line. After that, they analyze Brenden Dillon's dirty hit on Noel Acciari and why they're tired of the people who are defending the hit. After that, they analyze the PP and how it was able to score in a massive situation for once. They also look at Tristan Jarry's performance and how he continues to shut a lot of us up before ending the show with Warrior Helmet Wednesday.

Can the Penguins take flight against the Jets?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are set to return to the rink on Tuesday night with a game against the Winnipeg Jets and Hunter and Pat are here to preview that showdown. They look at how good the Jets have been this year and what the Penguins will need to do to win. They also dive into which goalie should get the start and whether Ludving or POJ should get that No. 6 defenseman spot for this one. After that, they discuss some milestones for this game, including Mike Sullivan and Jake Guentzel. The two look back on their tenures as Penguins and how they both have a long way to go for their respective careers before finishing the show with more Reilly Smith talk.

Jesse Puljujarvi is officially a Penguin!

The Pittsburgh Penguins made it official and signed Jesse Puljujarvi to a two-year contract on Sunday. To start the show, Hunter and Pat discuss the contract and how it was well-deserved after the way he played in Wilkes-Barre. They look at how he fits the team and what they're looking to see out of him before getting to thoughts on him being on the third line. After that, they discuss Reilly Smith's impending return and how he needs to really show everyone a lot more since he hasn't been good for most of this season. They even get into John Ludvig's impending return and what that could mean for PO Joseph before ending the show with how the push for the playoffs is about to be kicked into overdrive.

Penguins Captain Sidney Crosby picked first by Team MacKinnon at NHL All-Star Weekend!

NHL All-Star Weekend is here and Hunter and Pat do a small preview of what to expect from the league's best. They review the rosters of the four NHL All-Star Teams and give their predictions as to which team will win on Saturday before looking at Friday's skill competition. They discuss how the event looks to be a lot more fun compared to recent years and how the league seems to be getting it right by bringing back the OG events fans love. After that, they dive into the news regarding Olympic hockey and how the NHL is finally going back. They look at how good Team USA will be for that event and how this is great to get fans more involved in the sport. They also break down next year's Four Nation Faceoff event and how that could go before ending the show with Sidney Crosby being in Montana and not the All-Star Draft on Thursday.

Hunter and Pat have a special guest for Wednesday's edition of the Locked On Penguins podcast as Jayden Becker joins the show. He's the team's new in-game arena host, and both get to know him since this is his first year in Pittsburgh. They discuss what brought him to Pittsburgh and why he was interested in the job before getting his thoughts on how it's been so far. They also dive into what a day in the life for him looks like and how much prep he does for each game. They even get his thoughts on what his favorite games have been for him thus far and what his favorite segment is during each game. They then get into some "around the horn" type questions that aren't about hockey before ending the show with whether some prep for the playoffs have started.

Giving out non-Crosby MVP Awards for the Penguins first half!

The Pittsburgh Penguins may be off for a while but the Locked On Penguins podcast is not. Hunter and Pat dive into the Penguins MVPs of the first half of the regular season (outside of Sidney Crosby) and give their flowers to players who have been electric this year. After that, they look at what games the Penguins will need to especially win after the break since the schedule is about to get hectic. Just how big is the month of February for this team? Finally, they give their thoughts on Elliotte Friedman's report from NHL Network and why a soft rebuild doesn't make much sense for the Penguins.

Giving out non-Crosby MVP Awards for the Penguins first half!

The Pittsburgh Penguins may be off for a while but the Locked On Penguins podcast is not. Hunter and Pat dive into the Penguins MVPs of the first half of the regular season (outside of Sidney Crosby) and give their flowers to players who have been electric this year. After that, they look at what games the Penguins will need to especially win after the break since the schedule is about to get hectic. Just how big is the month of February for this team? Finally, they give their thoughts on Elliotte Friedman's report from NHL Network and why a soft rebuild doesn't make much sense for the Penguins. All that, plus much more is on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Penguins get three out of four points heading into the break!

The Pittsburgh Penguins had themselves a solid weekend with 3/4 points and Hunter and Pat are here to break it all down, starting with the Panthers game. Hunter and Pat discuss how the Penguins were able to bank a point against the Panthers and how they didn't back down when they were trying to bully them. They also praise Alex Nedeljkovic for his performance and how he was the biggest reason (outside of Evgeni Malkin) why the Penguins got the game to OT. They dive into his saves in the third period before shouting out Geno for responding the right way after what happened in Arizona. They look at how this was a massive weight off his shoulders and how they'll need him down the stretch. After that, they recap the Montreal game and how Sidney Crosby did something otherworldly to help tie the game in the third. They also discuss Marcus Pettersson and how his wicked shot got the Penguins the extra point after he was having not that good of a game before discussing the changes to the power play.

How the Penguins NEED these four points this weekend...

The Pittsburgh Penguins are back in action on Friday night against the Florida Panthers and it's an opportunity to get two massive points. Hunter and Pat start the show by recapping the small AHL trade that Kyle Dubas made on Thursday and what it means for the team before previewing Friday night's game against the Panthers. They look at how they can get these two points and slow down Florida's top players since they've been red hot this year. After that, they preview Saturday night's game against the Montreal Canadiens and slam the NHL's Department of Player Safety for being too soft on Brendan Gallagher after his dirty hit on Thursday night. They discuss why this is a problem that's not going away anytime soon before giving the keys to beating the Canadiens. Finally, they analyze whether this is the biggest weekend of the season and the opportunity this team has with the games in hand.

Do the Penguins have some help on the way from the Baby Pens?

The Pittsburgh Penguins continue to be off but the Locked On Penguins podcast is not. To start the show, Hunter and Pat dive into Jesse Puljujarvi's recent play in Wilkes-Barre and whether he will get a contract with the big club. They wonder if he deserves a chance to show what he can do in the NHL again while Hunter argues that he'd rather see him on Geno's line than Colin White. They then look at Sam Poulin's game as of late and whether he deserves a call-up. Who would he replace? They also discuss that before looking ahead to the offseason and what changes should be coming. Both Hunter and Pat give their analysis on what Dubas could do over the summer to turn this team around since they're not going to rebuild for as long as Sidney Crosby continues to be on the team. After that, they look at the future of PO Joseph and what his future with the Penguins is.

Changes the Penguins NEED to make to get back in the win column!

The Pittsburgh Penguins don't play on Wednesday but there's still plenty to discuss regarding this team. Hunter and Pat first start with some practice notes and how the Penguins appeared to not change much for this session. They analyze whether that's a good thing or a bad thing as their next game is still a couple of days away. What would they have done if they were Mike Sullivan? After that, they look at players who need to step up if this team wants to find its winning ways again and no, they aren't just players in the bottom six. Hunter even has someone who isn't a player in this category! Finally, they end the show with Warrior Helmet Wednesday and the choice should be fairly obvious.

Was this the nail in the coffin for the Penguins after another embarrassing loss?

The Pittsburgh Penguins got royally embarrassed by the Arizona Coyotes on Monday night and Hunter and Pat bring their A-game for today's episode. They start the show by eviscerating the team and going in on them for this performance. They look at how the team showed no effort outside of 2-3 players and how this "response" showed a lot about who they are after they blew the game against the Golden Knights. They also look at what direction the team is headed in and whether Kyle Dubas has his answer right now. After that, they discuss the own goal and how they both laughed and cried about it (not really on the crying part). They crush Letang for his mistake by the net and also go a little bit at Geno for how he handled the puck. Finally, they discuss how some shakeup is needed and how this team can somehow bounce back for the final two games before the All-Star Break.

Was this the nail in the coffin for the Penguins after another embarrassing loss?

The Pittsburgh Penguins got royally embarrassed by the Arizona Coyotes on Monday night and Hunter and Pat bring their A-game for today's episode. They start the show by eviscerating the team and going in on them for this performance. They look at how the team showed no effort outside of 2-3 players and how this "response" showed a lot about who they are after they blew the game against the Golden Knights. They also look at what direction the team is headed in and whether Kyle Dubas has his answer right now. After that, they discuss the own goal and how they both laughed and cried about it (not really on the crying part). They crush Letang for his mistake by the net and also go a little bit at Geno for how he handled the puck. Finally, they discuss how some shakeup is needed and how this team can somehow bounce back for the final two games before the All-Star Break.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Penguins blow it in Vegas, need to bounce back in Arizona!

The Pittsburgh Penguins weren't able to get the two points against the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday night, which has Hunter and Pat a bit concerned. They open the show by discussing how the Penguins were sticking to the blueprint perfectly before they fell asleep in the third period. They analyze how this happened and why they can't string together consistent 60-minute efforts this season. They also discuss Evgeni Malkin's game and if they're concerned about where it's going after the Vegas game before going into some positives regarding Ryan Graves, Jake Guentzel, and Sidney Crosby. After that, they look at how this is the season's biggest week to date before ending the show with a preview for Monday's game against the Arizona Coyotes.

Penguins with a "Golden" opportunity in Vegas this weekend!

The Pittsburgh Penguins are finally about to play again for the first time in almost a week. They're going to play in Vegas against the Golden Knights, which means it's time for another preview. They start the show by previewing the game as the Penguins try to continue their winning ways against the Golden Knights. They look at how banged up the Knights are and how this has to be a game where the Penguins get two points. They can't afford to take nights off, including this one. They give their keys for how the team can win and how the Penguins will have the edge in multiple areas before looking at the opportunity the Penguins will have over the next two days. Finally, they update everyone on the playoff race in the Eastern Conference and why the teams in this conference may not be as good as some people think.

Answering the Penguins Jake Guentzel question - trade or keep?

The Pittsburgh Penguins continue to be off but the Locked On Penguins podcast is not. Hunter and Pat start the show off with some recent comments by Kyle Dubas on Jake Guentzel and what they mean going forward. They give their takes on the situation and why Jake Guentzel should stay with the team past the deadline, especially if they are still in the race. They look at how a return won't be as good as what fans are hoping it will be, plus how Sidney Crosby would potentially be offended if Guentzel is dealt. After that, they look at how Crosby was snubbed by the Locked On NHL hosts for the Hart Trophy contenders. They make their case for why Sidney Crosby should easily be in everyone's top five even though he may not have the points. They discuss what he has done throughout the season and what he may continue to do before finishing the show with some trade talk. What should be the Penguins' biggest need at the deadline? All that, plus much more is on this edition of the Locked On Penguins podcast.

Penguins at the midpoint: A Locked On Penguins take fest!

The Pittsburgh Penguins are off for a few days but the Locked On Penguins podcast is not. Hunter and Pat start the show with the news surrounding Radim Zohorna and how he was sent down to WBS after being placed on waivers. They look at why they're not surprised by this news and how he hasn't done enough after the first 10 games of the year. After that, they dive into some of their mid-season takes and what they're noticing heading into the second half of the season. They analyze Sidney Crosby's play, the goaltending, the power play (again!), and so much more. Finally, they give their picks for Warrior Helmet Wednesday since it's Wednesday!

Penguins dominate the Kraken at home, can they keep this blueprint for success going?

The Pittsburgh Penguins got a massive win over the Seattle Kraken on Monday night and it has Hunter and Pat feeling good on this Tuesday. They start the show by discussing how the blueprint continues to be there for this team to win games consistently, but they just have to do it. They marvel at how they defended all game long as it was a classic low-event game they needed. They also discuss how Sidney Crosby once again put the team on his back with two more goals and how they're fully back in the playoff race. They discuss the standings and how they got some help heading into a few days off. After that, they look at Drew O'Connor's play and how he continues to be tremendous over the last few weeks before shouting out Tristan Jarry for another stellar performance. Finally, they discuss Marc-Andre Fleury's milestone on Monday and what that means for the Penguins since his career is getting close to being over.

Penguins get a point in Carolina, but the power play falters again...

The Pittsburgh Penguins got 4/6 points this past week which is good but it could've been a lot better. Hunter and Pat start the show by recapping the loss to the Carolina Hurricanes and how they had another terrible start in the first period. They discuss how these bad starts are completely unacceptable at this stage of the season, especially against divisional opponents. They analyze why this team can't seem to play 60 minutes against this type of team even though they've shown they can play with them during games. After that, they dump on the power play once again for failing to do anything. They dive into what the main problems are and what Erik Karlsson meant by his comments to Josh Yohe. What are the main problems for this team in 3-on-3? They also look at that before diving into a preview for Monday's game against the Seattle Kraken.

Penguins drop crazy one to Canucks, look for rebound against the Canes!

The Pittsburgh Penguins lost a thriller to the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night but they were able to get a point, which is still a big win. To start Friday's show, Hunter and Pat recap that game and how the Penguins were able to battle back despite being outplayed in the first period. They analyze the play of Tristan Jarry and especially Sidney Crosby as the latter once again put the team on his back. They marvel at how he continues to do this and again petition for him to get the Hart Trophy this year. They also praise Jansen Harkins for a sound performance before diving into Reilly Smith's injury. The two look at what Kyle Dubas should do to address his absence even though he hasn't been that good in the last several weeks. Should a player be called up? Should Dubas make a trade? They look at the options before discussing the latest Jake Guentzel rumors and why it makes no sense to deal him unless they're out of the race. Finally, they preview Saturday's massive tilt down in Raleigh against the Hurricanes. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Can the Penguins cool off the red-hot Canucks tonight?

The Pittsburgh Penguins have another massive game on their hands tonight against the Vancouver Canucks and Hunter and Pat are here to preview it. They discuss how the Canucks have taken the NHL by storm and how they're scoring goals on every team. They look at their high-end talent and how both Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes are finally getting their flowers considering how good they've been. They then get into some keys for the Penguins to pull off the win before discussing who they have their eyes on for their matchup. No, it's not Sidney Crosby for once! Who should the Penguins start in net? The hosts also dive into that before ending the show with a couple of updates on prospects Joel Blomqvist and Sergei Murashov, and how the team's goaltending pipeline is in good hands.

Penguins mid-season check-in with Josh Yohe!

The Pittsburgh Penguins are nearing the halfway mark of the 2023-24 season and that means it's a great time to bring Josh Yohe back to the show. Hunter and Pat get Josh's thoughts on the team as we reach that 41-game mark and if he thinks they can make the playoffs at the end of the season. He gives his thoughts on the depth players, how they've stepped up as of late before getting into the blue line, and what he thinks about that overall. After that, they do an early preview for the NHL Trade Deadline and what Kyle Dubas could look at if this team continues to roll. Finally, they give their selections for Warrior Helmet Wednesday and reminisce on Michel Therrien's rant 18 years later. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Penguins DOMINATE the "Battle of PA" and move up in the playoff race!

The Pittsburgh Penguins got a gigantic win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday night and Hunter and Pat start the show by discussing how this was one of their best efforts of the season. They look at how the Penguins came out with a purpose and didn't let up throughout the rest of the game. They praise Geno for one heck of a performance after he put on a show, and also shout out Drew O'Connor for more strong play. After that, they look at how the Penguins didn't retaliate when the Flyers tried to bait them into taking penalties before looking at the current playoff race. They discuss how the Penguins have gotten back into it after a slow start and what Kyle Dubas has to be feeling right now after he challenged his team a few weeks ago. Finally, they look at the strong play of Alex Nedeljkovic and if there is any goalie controversy with this team right now. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Penguins wrecked by replay, can they bounce back against Philly?

It's a new week, so it's time for a fresh episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast. Hunter and Pat start the show by recapping the Penguins loss to the Sabres on Saturday night. They dive into how the Penguins did everything right except get the result. They get into how the Penguins had many things go against them and how they got pretty unlucky throughout this game. After that, they dive into the controversial goalie interference call and how they disagree with it since there didn't appear to be much contact. They look at how nobody knows what goalie interference is every week. Finally, they preview Monday night's Flyers-Penguins game and how this is a major opportunity to get two points in regulation. They get into some keys for how the Penguins can make that happen before analyzing who the Penguins have to stop on the Flyers. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Penguins wrecked by replay, can they bounce back against Philly?

It's a new week, so it's time for a fresh episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast. Hunter and Pat start the show by recapping the Penguins loss to the Sabres on Saturday night. They dive into how the Penguins did everything right except get the result. They get into how the Penguins had many things go against them and how they got pretty unlucky throughout this game. After that, they dive into the controversial goalie interference call and how they disagree with it since there didn't appear to be much contact. They look at how nobody knows what goalie interference is every week. Finally, they preview Monday night's Flyers-Penguins game and how this is a major opportunity to get two points in regulation. They get into some keys for how the Penguins can make that happen before analyzing who the Penguins have to stop on the Flyers.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Jase MedicalEmpower yourself when you purchase a Jase Case, providing you with a personal supply of 5 antibiotics that treat 50+ infections.

Penguins with an unacceptable effort on Tuesday night...

The Pittsburgh Penguins had an unacceptable start against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night which doomed them, and Hunter and Pat wasted no time in crushing the team for that kind of effort. They discuss how nobody seemed interested in playing during the first period and how that's not good enough, especially with where the standings are now. They analyze how Tristan Jarry had a bad start for the first time in several weeks and how that happens for goalies sometimes. They then discuss the Ryan Graves problem and how he's not giving them anything right now. Is it time for him to be benched for a few games? They give their thoughts on that situation before analyzing what Sidney Crosby was able to do in another vintage game. Finally, they discuss their picks for Warrior Helmet Wednesday.

Penguins ended 2023 on a high note, how can they keep it going in 2024?

Chronicling the Penguins historic win over the Islanders...

The Pittsburgh Penguins put up one heck of a performance against the New York Islanders on Wednesday night and Patrick Damp is BACK with Hunter Hodies to break it all down on Thursday. They discuss how the Penguins blitzed the Islanders in the second period and showed no mercy for the rest of the game. They dive into how the Penguins were able to finally solve Ilya Sorokin since he's been so good against them and how the Penguins were able to play smart hockey while also getting offensive looks.

Chronicling the Penguins historic win over the Islanders...

The Pittsburgh Penguins put up one heck of a performance against the New York Islanders on Wednesday night and Patrick Damp is BACK with Hunter Hodies to break it all down on Thursday. They discuss how the Penguins blitzed the Islanders in the second period and showed no mercy for the rest of the game. They dive into how the Penguins were able to finally solve Ilya Sorokin since he's been so good against them and how the Penguins were able to play smart hockey while also getting offensive looks. After that, they dive into Kris Letang's historic night and how he continues to have one hell of a season for the Penguins before shouting out Valtteri Puustinen, Evgeni Malkin, Drew O'Connor, and Marcus Pettersson for their performances. Finally, has a turnaround finally started?

Not good enough for the Penguins on Friday night...what's next?

The Pittsburgh Penguins did not do enough to beat the Ottawa Senators on Friday night, despite getting a point, and that has Hunter a bit worried. It's just Hunter for this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast since Pat is still with the family but he is joined by Nick Horwat to recap the Ottawa game and to get everyone set for the week ahead. They first start with how the Penguins had no excuse to sleepwalk through two periods of play on Friday night and why that's been a common theme for them this season. They then dive into how not pretty the OT goal was and how the power play continues to go backward after a strong week recently. Should Ryan Graves be put in the press box? The two also get into that along with Rickard Rakell's performance before finishing the show with a mini preview of the week ahead for this team. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Is a Penguins rebuild closer than we think it is?

Hunter is off this episode so Patrick is flying solo! Patrick talks about how a narrative has begun building in both the local and national press about how the Penguins might want to consider rebuilding sooner rather than later. He pushes back on that and why the Penguins are right to double down on the core. Then, he answers some of your questions about roster construction, PTOs, lineups, and of course, eats crow on some bad takes.

The Penguins power play saves the day...again?!?!

The Pittsburgh Penguins got their third win in their last four games on Monday night after beating the Minnesota Wild and Hunter and Pat have a lot of thoughts on the game. They first start out by discussing the blown lead and how those have got to stop before shouting out Valtteri Puustinen for another strong effort. Should he stay with the team once Bryan Rust is ready to return? They dive into two crazy plays that he made to set up goals before looking at how Evgeni Malkin had a great performance. After that, they dive into how Sidney Crosby didn't allow the Penguins to lose before ending the show with talk about the PP and how it's starting to win them games.

Can the Penguins right themselves against the Wild after getting thumped?

It's a Monday and a lot is happening with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Hunter and Pat start the show by recapping Saturday's blowout loss against the Maple Leafs. They discuss how the Penguins tried to trade chances with the Maple Leafs and how it didn't work out. They then crush the Penguins for how poor they were defensively and how that needs to change going forward if they want to make a run for a playoff spot. After that, they preview Monday night's game against the Minnesota Wild and how the Penguins can try and bounce back. They also discuss Marc-Andre Fleury and how this could be his final time in Pittsburgh before ending the show with some lineup changes that may be coming.

Who needs to raise their game for the Penguins?

We've reached the end of the week, meaning we're one day away from the Kyle Dubas Bowl. The Penguins are in Toronto to take on the Maple Leafs on Saturday night and both Hunter and Pat detail how the Penguins can make it two in a row against the Leafs. They analyze how the Penguins can slow down the Leafs' top players and how they can potentially win the special teams battle. They also get into how the Penguins will have the goaltending edge in this game with Tristan Jarry likely starting compared to Samsonov and how he's struggled a bit this year. After that, they dive into Rickard Rakell's impending return and what that will mean for the top six. They discuss how this is his chance for a fresh start after his miserable start to the season and how Crosby could get him back on track. Finally, who do Hunter and Pat want to see more out of this season? They dive into that topic in the final segment. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Is Sidney Crosby's greatness this season for the Penguins going under the radar?

Happy Thursday! There's a lot to discuss for this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast and Hunter and Pat jump right into it by recapping Thursday night's win over the Montreal Canadiens. They discuss how Jansen Harkins of all people became the hero that nobody expected to be in the shootout before getting to how Alex Nedeljkovic turned in another solid start after a shaky first period. After that, they analyze Erik Karlsson's performance and why he's gotta be a bit better in his zone, but don't worry, they're NOT concerned. They also analyze how the PP has continued to stay hot over the last two games before going into how Sidney Crosby is having an unbelievable 2023 campaign. They look at how he should be getting more love for the Hart Trophy and wonder where this team would be if he wasn't playing at this level. Finally, they congratulate Brayden Yager for making Canada's World Junior team and how it's one heck of an accomplishment. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Penguins power play is...back?!?!

The Pittsburgh Penguins are back in the win column and Hunter and Pat are fired up about it. They start the show by recapping the win against the Arizona Coyotes and how the PP FINALLY woke up. They analyze how Crosby and Guentzel were able to make some magic happen and wonder where that has been for the last month. They then get into Jeff Carter's big game and how the Penguins couldn't waste that type of performance. Was this the best full 60 this team has played all year? The hosts also discuss that before diving into a preview for Wednesday night's game against the Montreal Canadiens. How can the #Pens make it two in a row? Is this the start of a potential big stretch for this team? Finally, they give their Warrior Helmets for Warrior Helmet Wednesday. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Kyle Dubas signals no big changes for the Penguins...yet

Happy Tuesday! It's another game night for the Pittsburgh Penguins as they're set to play the Arizona Coyotes. Before Hunter and Pat preview that game, they discuss Kyle Dubas' comments from Monday and how he continues to be very patient as a GM. They look at how he's not in a rush to make changes right now and analyze whether that's a good or bad thing. They also analyze whether he's right to die on Mike Sullivan's hill since he easily could've brought in a new coach by now if he wanted to. After that, they dive into a preview for the game against the Arizona Coyotes and how the Penguins can snap their losing streak tonight. What must they do to slow down Arizona's top players? Will Logan Cooley have a big night in front of his family? What lineup changes will we see from the Penguins? Finally, the two hosts give their thoughts on the latest Bryan Rust news.

The Penguins get some forward help after another tough loss...

Happy Monday! The Pittsburgh Penguins have been busy over the last few days and Hunter and Pat are here to catch you all up on the news. They first start with the game recap from Friday as the Penguins couldn't get a result against the Florida Panthers. They analyze how the Penguins came out and played a couple of strong periods before not being able to play in the third. Why did they stop playing in the third? They give their reasons before crushing the PP yet again for not capitalizing on another opportunity late in a game. They then get into the Jesse Puljujarvi news and what it means for the team going forward. Is it a good signing? Is he going to get a contract after the FA PTO expires? Where does he fit? They analyze all of that before ending the show with a look at the week ahead. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Happy Friday! Hunter and Pat are back for another episode of the podcast as they preview Friday night's game against the Florida Panthers.

After that, they dive into the injury situation and how its in full effect now. Finally, they reflect on Patric Hornqvist as he's set to be honored on Friday night.

Did the Penguins just quit on their head coach?

On Wednesday night, things went from bad to worse for the Pittsburgh Penguins with a lifeless loss against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Hunter and Pat are here to recap that game and start by saying how it looks like the Penguins quit on their head coach. They discuss how the performances worsen and what could be coming if this continues. They look at how there was no spirit or heart in this team and what that means going forward. After that, they get into some practice updates and how Bryan Rust is banged up again, which isn't good. What other adjustments would we make going forward? The two hosts dive into that before ending the show with what Kyle Dubas should do to try and save this season.

Can the Penguins continue their recent dominance over the Lightning?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are set to take on the Tampa Bay Lightning on Wednesday night again and this game provides another opportunity for the team to "get right." Hunter and Pat preview the game against the Bolts and how the Penguins can get back on track after a few bad losses to the Philadelphia Flyers. They give their keys to the game while also analyzing what the Penguins have to do to shut down Nikita Kucherov, who continues to light the league on fire. Should there be any lineup changes? Hunter goes into one that he'd want to see since a player on the backend continues to struggle. After that, the two dive into their picks for Warrior Helmet Wednesday before ending the show with a shoutout to Brayden Yager.

After another embarrassing Penguins loss, do changes need to be made?

The Pittsburgh Penguins had another embarrassing loss on Monday night to the Philadelphia Flyers and Hunter and Pat are here to give their thoughts on it. They start the show by again ripping the power play as it somehow got worse for this game. They discuss more of the issues that they saw and get into what can be done to fix it. Should Reirden be gone by Wednesday? Should the top line go out there as the first unit? After that, they get into the rest of the performance and how outside of the top line and Nedeljkovic, everyone was terrible. They dive into the OT period and how lackluster it was before they analyze whether it's time for this team to make a major shakeup. Finally, they discuss the week ahead for the team and the opportunities that they have.

Penguins power play falters again in SO loss, can they redeem themselves on Monday night?

The Pittsburgh Penguins took another step back during Saturday's loss to the Philadelphia Flyers and a good chunk of it was due to the power play. Once again, Hunter and Pat slam that unit to start the show and how it cost the Penguins another win, especially in overtime. They review how the unit continues to have the same problems but nothing gets done about it. Should Todd Reirden be shown the door? Would the players also listen to a new PP coach? Why does it seem like they want to do whatever they want? They try their best to answer those questions before getting into the rest of the game. Both hosts didn't like how the Penguins looked and they explained why. They also analyze what the Penguins need to do in order to get back in the win column on Monday night. All that, plus a small rant about the shootout, is on this Locked On Penguins podcast episode.

Tristan Jarry makes Pittsburgh Penguins history in potential season-turning win!

The Pittsburgh Penguins got a massive win against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night but of course, we have to start the show with Tristan Jarry's goal. Hunter and Pat gush about the goal and how Jarry made Penguins history before getting into his performance as a whole. They dive into how confident Jarry looks and if this can continue for the rest of the season. After that, they dive into Sidney Crosby's beautiful goal to get the Penguins back into it. They analyze how Crosby continues to age like fine wine before getting to the tying goal with Drew O'Connor. They marvel at the pass that Evgeni Malkin made before Pat cooks a little bit regarding Jeff Carter. Is this a season-changing win? They also dive into that before they end the show with a preview of the matchup against the Flyers.

Can the Penguins strike against the Lightning?

It's another game night for the Penguins as they continue their road trip to Tampa Bay to take on the Tampa Bay Lightning. To start the show, Hunter and Pat preview the matchup and discuss how the Lightning have continued to stay in the playoff race this season, despite not having Andrei Vasilevskiy for a good chunk of it (and yes, he's back now). They dive into the play of Nikita Kucherov and how he continues to kick butt while also discussing Brayden Point and how he continues to be one of the best players in the league, too. They give their keys to the Penguins to win this game before diving into players to watch on both sides. Finally, the two have another discussion on the power play since it's still continuing to be terrible.

Controversial OT call sinks Penguins on Tuesday night...

The Pittsburgh Penguins dropped a tough one against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night and naturally, Hunter and Pat start the show by discussing the controversial no-call in overtime. They look at how it was blatant interference by ROR and how the refs somehow missed it. They also dive into how this was a poorly officiated game overall but how the Penguins can't just blame the refs for the loss because they did make mistakes of their own. They look at how both Guentzel and Karlsson were out to lunch in OT, plus how Tristan Jarry needed to be a bit more aggressive on that Forsberg rush. After that, the two get into some positives from this game, including Evgeni Malkin's goal and how the Penguins controlled play before the final 10 minutes of the third.

After that, the two get into some positives from this game, including Evgeni Malkin's goal and how the Penguins controlled play before the final 10 minutes of the third. Finally, they reveal their picks for Warrior Helmet Wednesday!Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsWith all the parts you need at the prices you want, it’s easy to turn your car into the MVP and bring home that win.

Penguins looking for some southern success against the Predators tonight!

The Pittsburgh Penguins are set to be back in action on Tuesday night against the Nashville Predators and Hunter and Pat are here to preview that game. They go into how the Predators have looked this season and are on a five-game winning streak, but has that been a fluke? Pat analyzes who the Predators have beaten and why that's helped them win some of their games. Hunter then discusses Filip Forsberg, Ryan O'Reilly, and how great he's been for the Predators this season. He also gets into how Andrew Brunette has the team playing more of an offensive style, so the Penguins must adjust to that. After that, they get into Juuse Saros' struggles but how he can turn it on at any time. They also dive into the Bryan Rust news and how it looks like he's returning before ending the show with some news regarding Patric Hornqvist!

Penguins power play remains a problem, even with a weekend split

The Pittsburgh Penguins had another weekend split for their back-to-back but it could've been a lot better. Hunter and Pat start Monday's show with a recap of the debacle in Buffalo and how the Penguins blew it in the third period. They discuss how the third wasn't good enough and how the Penguins sat back a bit too much, which allowed the Sabres to come back. They also roast the power play yet again for its continued failures when the team needed it most. Hunter details why it might be time to make a change with Todd Reirden while Pat continues to crush the players on both units. After that, they recap the win against the Maple Leafs and how the Penguins can build off that performance for this week's games. They look at how the depth shined through, plus how Tristan Jarry had another very quality start. Finally, they dive into the week ahead as the Penguins have some more tough games coming up.

Can the Penguins slow down the Rangers, with Andrew Chelney!

The Pittsburgh Penguins are set to take on the New York Rangers on Wednesday night and Hunter is joined by Andrew Chelney to break it all down. Patrick had a couple of things come up for the day before Thanksgiving (he's also going to the game) so he is not in this one but he WILL be back for the next one or the one right after. To start the show, Hunter and Andrew discuss how the Rangers have found success this year and what's been different compared to last year. They also look at the injury situations for both teams heading into this one before discussing Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad. Finally, Hunter gives his pick for Warrior Helmet Wednesday (and gives Pat's since he knows who he is taking) before Andrew joins in as well. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Pittsburgh Penguins are set to take on the New York Rangers on Wednesday night and Hunter is joined by Andrew Chelney to break it all down. Patrick had a couple of things come up for the day before Thanksgiving (he's also going to the game) so he is not in this one but he WILL be back for the next one or the one right after. To start the show, Hunter and Andrew discuss how the Rangers have found success this year and what's been different compared to last year. They also look at the injury situations for both teams heading into this one before discussing Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad. Finally, Hunter gives his pick for Warrior Helmet Wednesday (and gives Pat's since he knows who he is taking) before Andrew joins in as well.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetterHelpThis episode is brought to you by BetterHelp. Find your bright spot this season, with BetterHelp at betterhelp.com/LOCKEDONNHL and get on your way to being your best self.eBay MotorsWith all the parts you need at the prices you want, it’s easy to turn your car into the MVP and bring home that win.

Penguins split the weekend, are they ready for another massive week?

The Pittsburgh Penguins had a positive weekend against two outstanding teams and Hunter and Pat are here to talk about it. They first recap the 4-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes and why these coin flips continue against the Penguins. They go into how they had a great start but couldn't get some of the bounces late in that game. They then dive into the situation with Rickard Rakell and what the Penguins need to do about him since he continues to be a non-factor when he's on the ice. Hunter then discusses how the Penguins will need to figure out how to beat a team like the Hurricanes sooner rather than later before Hunter and Pat analyze the win over the Golden Knights. They go over how great the Penguins played defensively, plus dive into how the depth players stepped up to get them the win. They also shout out Alex Nedeljkovic for a great start and if he could get more starts moving forward. After that, they break down the success of the PK before ending the show by looking at the week ahead. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Massive weekend looms for the Penguins after dud against the Devils...

Well, the Penguins' 5-game winning streak is over after Thursday night's loss to the New Jersey Devils, and Hunter and Pat are here to recap it. They start with Tristan Jarry and how he continues to be inconsistent throughout the season. They analyze how he wasn't good enough on the first three goals and how he wasn't giving his team a chance that they needed to stay in the game. They then analyze how a good chunk of the Penguins laid an egg in this one. It was a clunker if you will. They discuss how the team failed to show up and improve upon the things they were doing during this winning streak. After that, they get everyone set for Saturday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes and give some keys to victory. They then do the same for Sunday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Crosby's Columbus dominance gives Penguins 5th straight win!

It's another Victory Pod on Wednesday as Hunter and Pat recap the Penguins' 5-3 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night. They dive into how this was a vintage Sidney Crosby performance and he wasn't letting them lose this game. They marvel at how he continues to do this despite being in his late 30s and how he was all over the ice. They then get into the play of Erik Karlsson and just how good he's been in this game and this season. They marvel at his mammoth slapshot in this game and how he and Geno continue to have amazing chemistry. After that, they look at the play from Tristan Jarry and how he performed, plus gush about the third line as it continues to perform well. After that, they finish the show with Warrior Helmet on Wednesday!

Crosby's Columbus dominance gives Penguins 5th straight win!

It's another Victory Pod on Wednesday as Hunter and Pat recap the Penguins' 5-3 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night. They dive into how this was a vintage Sidney Crosby performance and he wasn't letting them lose this game. They marvel at how he continues to do this despite being in his late 30s and how he was all over the ice. They then get into the play of Erik Karlsson and just how good he's been in this game and this season. They marvel at his mammoth slapshot in this game and how he and Geno continue to have amazing chemistry. After that, they look at the play from Tristan Jarry and how he performed, plus gush about the third line as it continues to perform well. After that, they finish the show with Warrior Helmet on Wednesday!Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsWith all the parts you need at the prices you want, it’s easy to turn your car into the MVP and bring home that win.

Penguins going for five in a row against the Blue Jackets tonight!

The Pittsburgh Penguins will look to keep their win streak going when they face off against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night. To start the show, Hunter and Pat dive into how the Penguins have owned the Jackets over the years and how this is a big brother little brother rivalry. They then get into how bad the Jackets have been this year and how it continues to be confusing as to why Johnny Gaudreau signed with the Blue Jackets. They also dive into the rest of the roster and how it's not good enough before getting into some keys to victory. Finally, the two discuss the Jeff Carter injury along with the Jonathan Gruden callup and what it means.

Penguins continue to roll into a MASSIVE week...

The Pittsburgh Penguins have won four games in a row and have many people feeling good right now, including Hunter and Pat. Thery first starts the show by discussing the Penguins' latest win over the Buffalo Sabres. They analyze how the Penguins continue to play a "lower event" type of game and take fewer risks, helping them win games. They look at how the Penguins continue to limit the chances to the outside, which makes the life of Tristan Jarry a lot easier. They even discuss how the team is winning the neutral zone, which is forcing teams to dump the puck in more often. After that, they analyze the individual performances from this game and who continues to stand out during this winning streak. Finally, they look at a massive week ahead for the Penguins with a few matchups against some great teams.

Penguins look to become Kings of California on Thursday night!

The Pittsburgh Penguins are set to end their California road trip on Thursday night in Los Angeles and Hunter and Pat get you all set for the game. They start by discussing how good the Kings have been this season and how the Penguins can get their third-straight win, despite that. They look at the style of play that the Penguins will need to run so that they can potentially come home with the win, while also giving a few other keys to victory. After that, they dive into the injury update surrounding Tristan Jarry and if he's going to be available for this one. If not, they look at Magnus Hellberg can potentially bring as a starter for this one and how the team is confident in him. Finally, they dive into Andreas Johnsson being placed on waivers for contract termination and if the Penguins should keep the fourth line going, even though this could be Jeff Carter's final game in Los Angeles.

Penguins win the battle of the birds! Are they getting things back on track?

The Pittsburgh Penguins got a massive win against the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night and Hunter is here to recap it with a special guest. With Patrick Damp out for just one day, Hunter brought in Nick Brlansky to discuss the game and they started with the story in net. They look at how great Tristan Jarry played before he got hurt and hope that it's nothing serious before diving into the play of Magnus Hellberg and how he could shut the door. After that, they look at how Radim Zohorna continues to play excellent hockey for this team and how he continues to provide a spark for the third line. They then get into how the Penguins played some excellent shutdown hockey and whether that needs to be the blueprint before ending the show with whether this was the "get back" game for the Penguins.

Penguins win the battle of the birds! Are they getting things back on track?

The Pittsburgh Penguins got a massive win against the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night and Hunter is here to recap it with a special guest. With Patrick Damp out for just one day, Hunter brought in Nick Brlansky to discuss the game and they started with the story in net. They look at how great Tristan Jarry played before he got hurt and hope that it's nothing serious before diving into the play of Magnus Hellberg and how he could shut the door. After that, they look at how Radim Zohorna continues to play excellent hockey for this team and how he continues to provide a spark for the third line. They then get into how the Penguins played some excellent shutdown hockey and whether that needs to be the blueprint before ending the show with whether this was the "get back" game for the Penguins.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsWith all the parts you need at the prices you want, it’s easy to turn your car into the MVP and bring home that win.

Can the Penguins clip the Ducks' wings on Tuesday night?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are back in action on Tuesday night and it's a rematch with the Anaheim Ducks! Hunter and Pat start the show by previewing the game and how the Penguins can come away with the win. They start with how this is the biggest game of the season to date with the opportunity the Penguins have before getting into how Tristan Jarry needs to be better if they want to win this one. They also discuss how the third line could play a pivotal role in winning this one and how the special teams will also have to be better if they want to come away with the win. Is this going to be a big game for Sidney Crosby? The two then get into a discussion about what to do with Rickard Rakell for this game and going forward before ending the show with some Jeff Carter talk and how he's being a solid leader for the younger players, despite rightfully being scratched.

Penguins out swim the Sharks, are things getting back on track?

The Pittsburgh Penguins got back in the win column on Saturday night in a big way, but are things fully back on track? Hunter and Pat start the show by trying to answer that question. They discuss just how bad the Sharks are and how it looked like they didn't even care before analyzing how the Penguins showed improvement, but that things aren't all the way there yet. They look at how the big guns carried the way once again and shout out Reilly Smith for continuing his beautiful start to the season. After that, they look at the new fourth line and how that line looked with Jeff Carter out of the lineup. Will this continue to be a thing going forward? Finally, they praise Tristan Jarry for his performance while also giving their thoughts on PO Joseph's return to the lineup.

Can the Penguins keep the bad times rolling for the Sharks?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are set to be back in action on Saturday night against the San Jose Sharks and Hunter and Pat are both ready to preview that game. They start by detailing just how bad the Sharks are and how they were destined to be bad, but maybe not this bad. Still, they look at the numbers before analyzing who the Penguins will have to watch out for in this game. They then give their keys for how the Penguins can bounce back with a win. After that, they look at a few players who are in need of a big trip since there are some players who are struggling right now. Is one of them Tristan Jarry? What about Rickard Rakell? Finally, the two give some predictions for this game and hope that they'll all come true on Monday. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Penguins head west with a new lineup!

The Pittsburgh Penguins appear to be making a big lineup change in anticipation of the California trip! Hunter and Pat discuss Jeff Carter potentially being scratched and why that's long overdue. They look at how Vinnie Hinostroza could make an impact on the fourth line and if it could be similar to what Radim Zohorna did to the third line in place of Jansen Harkins. After that, they get into a few Penguins players trying out neck guards and why it's good for them just to try it out to see if they like it. Could this lead to more players trying them out? They also look at that before ending the show with some news on Mark Pysyk. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Finding some possible trades for the Penguins...

The Penguins may be off until Saturday, but Hunter and Pat sure aren't. They start the show by diving into the Penguins leading the charge for mandatory neckguards after the tragic death of Adam Johnson and why it should be mandatory all across hockey. They analyze how it will help every player around the world before getting to some mock trades that Kyle Dubas may or may not make this season. Pat goes into a defenseman that may make some sense for the Penguins while Hunter goes into a couple of forward options that could make some sense since the Penguins may need another scorer. Pat then has a forward option of his own before they end the show with the Nicklas Backstrom news and why people should cherish what Crosby and Malkin are doing right now.

The most embarrassing loss of the season for the Penguins (so far)...

A disastrous season worsened on Monday night with the Penguins dropping a 4-3 decision to the Anaheim Ducks. To start the show, Hunter and Pat go in on Tristan Jarry as he has another awful game. They discuss how they're sick of the inconsistencies and eventually, the $5M goalie needs to make saves on a consistent basis. They crushed him for three of the goals as he appeared to be out to lunch on every single one of them. They also wonder if this is how it's going to be for the remainder of his new contract before discussing the power play. They give some positives on that unit before Hunter roasts the final 5 on 3 at the end of regulation. He didn't like the overpassing or the lack of net-front traffic. Finally, the two look at the changes that need to be made to this lineup going forward. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Penguins get a statement win over the Avs!

The Pittsburgh Penguins got back in the win column on Thursday night with their best win of the year! Hunter and Pat are fired up for this one and get things started by discussing how this was a great team win in all phases. They start by discussing the defensive game plan and how the Penguins really limited the Avalanche's scoring chances. They note how they kept things to the outside, which seemed to really frustrate the Avs. After that, they get into how the bottom shined, well the third line for the most part. They analyze how that line really cooked in that game and how three players continue to get used to each other. They also dive into Tristan Jarry's play and how he could help the team when needed, plus how Sidney Crosby woke up a little bit. Finally, they get everyone set for Saturday's game against the Ottawa Senators. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Can the Penguins turn it around against the league's best?

The Pittsburgh Penguins face their toughest test yet on Thursday night when the Colorado Avalanche come to town. Before Hunter and Pat preview that game, they discuss some of the latest on injuries, especially Alex Nedeljkovic. How big of a deal is this injury to the Penguins? How often will Magnus Hellberg play now that he's the backup? They look into that, plus what the Vinnie Hinostroza callup means before previewing the matchup against the Avs. They discuss how the Avs are lighting it up this season and how the Penguins can slow down their attack. Do they have to play more conservatively? What changes to the system should HCMS make? Finally, they get into some comments made by Kyle Dubas during the GM show.

How often will Magnus Hellberg play now that he's the backup? They look into that, plus what the Vinnie Hinostroza callup means before previewing the matchup against the Avs. They discuss how the Avs are lighting it up this season and how the Penguins can slow down their attack. Do they have to play more conservatively? What changes to the system should HCMS make? Finally, they get into some comments made by Kyle Dubas during the GM show.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Parkview AdvanceFor more than 25 years, Parkview Advance has helped businesses secure working capital.

How to fix the Penguins' disastrous start...

The Pittsburgh Penguins had their woes continue on Tuesday night with a 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars. Hunter and Pat are here to recap the game and oh yeah, they have some takes on it. They start with how the Penguins came out like a house on fire before it all turned to crap in the third period. They discuss how the process seems to be there in spurts but it's not holding up for 60 minutes. They discuss how that needs to change in a big way if this team wants to get points on a consistent basis. They also crush the bottom six since we're seeing the worst fears of this roster come to life with how the bottom two lines are not producing. After that, they consider if a coaching change may have to happen if this gets worse (or if it should happen sooner rather than later) before crushing the PP for its continued woes. All that, plus Warrior Helmet Wednesday, and a whole lot more is on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Can the Penguins start off this massive week with a win?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are back in action tonight against the Dallas Stars and Hunter and Pat are here to get yinz set for it. before they do that, they look at some roster changes that seem to be happening (NOTE: John Ludvig will be playing, this was posted directly after Mike Sullivan announced it). They look at what the bottom pair should look like, plus how Bryan Rust is replacing Rickard Rakell on the top PP. They also look at what Alex Nedeljkovic starting means for Tristan Jarry the rest of the way. After that, they look at how deep this Dallas Stars team is and how it will be the season's biggest test thus far. They discuss how the Penguins can slow down this high-flying attack from the Stars and how they need to be cautious about their aggression in the offensive zone. They also analyze what they'll need to do in order to beat Jake Oettinger. Finally, they discuss how the NHL got something right for a change with this "Frozen Frenzy" thing.

Any concerns on the Penguins after a concerning loss?

The Pittsburgh Penguins suffered a disappointing loss to the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night and Hunter and Pat are here to recap it. They start with how bad the second period was and why that's been a troubling concern even dating back to last year. They look at why the team continues to not show up in that period before analyzing how the Penguins didn't do enough to get good scoring chances when they were chasing the game. They discuss the perimeter play and how it was very evident at both 5v5 and on the power play. After that, they do get into some positives as Radim Zohorna was excellent against the Blues. They look at how he gave the third line a jolt that it badly needed and how Mike Sullivan needs to leave that line alone for a bit. Finally, they discuss if it's getting close to panic time for this team even though it's only been five games thus far. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Penguins-Blues preview, plus some good injury news!

The Pittsburgh Penguins are set to take on the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night but before Hunter and Pat get to that, they discuss the injury updates! They go into the good news that the Penguins got on Friday regarding Kris Letang and Noel Acciari since they were back at practice. They decide whether both will be good for Saturday before getting into a potential healthy scratch situation for PO Joseph. Do Hunter and Pat agree with it? What keeps Ruhwedel in the lineup over him, even though Ruhwedel had the worse game? After that, the two preview Saturday's game against the Blues as this should be a win for the Penguins. They detail how bad the Blues are defensively and how the Penguins are lined up to "cook" in this situation. They also analyze Jordan Binnington and how the Penguins can get under his skin since he has a very short temper. Finally, they analyze Radim Zohorna being called up and how he may be just what the doctor ordered for the bottom six. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Penguins lose to the Red Wings...what went wrong?

The Pittsburgh Penguins fell to the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday night and Hunter and Pat are here to recap it and give their thoughts. Pat starts with a plea to the fans to not take every loss like it's the end of the world before the two analyze the bottom six concerns. What needs to change? Does Kyle Dubas need to bring in help from the outside? They look at how that unit is not giving the Penguins anything in the offensive zone and why they won't be able to win like this for an entire season. After that, they discuss the struggles of the third pairing and why it was an off night for them considering how good they were in the first three games.

Penguins lose to the Red Wings...what went wrong?

The Pittsburgh Penguins fell to the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday night and Hunter and Pat are here to recap it and give their thoughts. Pat starts with a plea to the fans to not take every loss like it's the end of the world before the two analyze the bottom six concerns. What needs to change? Does Kyle Dubas need to bring in help from the outside? They look at how that unit is not giving the Penguins anything in the offensive zone and why they won't be able to win like this for an entire season. After that, they discuss the struggles of the third pairing and why it was an off night for them considering how good they were in the first three games. Hunter also brings up how the Penguins showed a lot of fight in the third period, which is something they didn't do much of last year when they were really down, outside of just a couple of games. He especially credits Erik Karlsson for how great he was and how he led the charge.

Penguins-Red Wings preview, plus, should the NHL go through with changes to its draft?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are back in action on Wednesday night with a game against the Detroit Red Wings and Hunter and Pat are here to get you all ready for it. They discuss how the Penguins can slow down the Red Wings fire power, and how they have to be super disciplined since the Red Wings have a great PP right now. They dive into the matchups that Mike Sullivan may favor, such as the Letang pairing against the DeBrincat line, with the Karlsson line getting the matchups against the second line. They also analyze if Tristan Jarry can continue performing after a solid first two games of the season before looking at potential changes to the NHL Draft. Is it a good idea to keep teams at home? Should the NHL stay unique with what it does for the draft? Could there be other changes to big dates coming? Finally, Hunter and Pat really go after ESPN for that awful top 100 players list that it dropped on Tuesday. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

How far can the Penguins go? (with Chris Mack)!

Hunter and Pat teased a guest for Tuesday's edition of the Locked On Penguins podcast and they came through. They're pleased to welcome back Chris Mack to the show to discuss the first three games and what he has seen from the team thus far. He goes into the positives and the negatives before looking at what he expects from the team for the rest of the season and how they have a big opportunity this month to really rack up some points. They also discuss the ESPN article and how Evgeni Malkin was snubbed yet again before letting Chris go and discussing the trade that Kyle Dubas made on Tuesday. Are Hunter and Pat surprised by the move? Could they have something in Jack Rathbone down the line? All that, plus much more is on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast.

Penguins-Flames recap, plus, an early look at the week ahead!

Happy Monday! The Pittsburgh Penguins are atop the Metropolitan Division and it feels good! Pat and Hunter recap Saturday's win against the Calgary Flames and how the Penguins had a great third period to steal it. They start with how Sidney Crosby took charge on his first shift, which led to the Bryan Rust goal before Reilly Smith scored just a few seconds later. They especially shout out Evgeni Malkin for his performance as he's been a one-man wrecking crew with the puck during these first three games. They also analyze the play of Alex Nedeljkovic and how he answered the bell when he was called upon. Is he already an upgrade over Casey DeSmith? They also get into that before discussing if they're concerned with the bottom six through three games. They even go at Jeff Carter since his play has not been good enough. Finally, they give a brief outlook on the week ahead for the team. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Penguins get their first win, plus, a Pens-Flames preview!

The Pittsburgh Penguins bounced back in a big way on Friday night with a 4-0 win against the Washington Capitals and Hunter is here to break it all down. There's no Pat for this one since he had some things come up, but Hunter still discusses how the power play won this game for the Penguins. He looks at how Erik Karlsson's zone entry got everything going the first time the team went on the PP and how it looks like a completely different unit with him on the ice. He also looks at the unit's movement and how it's really starting to come together before shouting out Evgeni Malkin for a wonderful performance. After that, he dives into Tristan Jarry's performance and how great he's been to start the year. He discusses how poised he looks in the net and how he's making the big saves, which is something he didn't do last season. He also analyzes Reilly Smith's game and how he finally got on the board for a goal before ending the show with a preview of Saturday's matchup against the Calgary Flames.

He also analyzes Reilly Smith's game and how he finally got on the board for a goal before ending the show with a preview of Saturday's matchup against the Calgary Flames.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Jase MedicalGet $20 off these lifesaving antibiotics with Jase Medical by using code LOCKEDON at checkout on jasemedical.com.SleeperDownload the Sleeper App and use promo code LOCKEDONNHL to get up to a $100 match on your first deposit.

Penguins-Capitals preview, plus, what changes, if any, should be made for this matchup?

We're almost to the second game of the season! Hunter and Pat get you set for Penguins-Capitals on Friday night and what the Penguins need to do in order to secure the win. They also detail the rivalry and how it's still one of the league's best all these years later. They go into how Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby have become pretty close over the years, when it looked like that would never happen, plus how despite these teams being a bit older, they're still playing hard. They even analyze what they would change heading into this matchup since the Penguins have some things to clean up for this game. How should they shadow Ovechkin on the PK? Should Letang get the most minutes against him? Who else do the Penguins need to keep an eye on? All that, plus much more is on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast.

Penguins-Blackhawks season opening recap!

The Pittsburgh Penguins did not have the start they were looking for this season. They lost 4-2 to the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday night and some of the same issues we saw last year popped up again this year. Hunter and Pat start with the defensive zone issues and how the Penguins failed at clearing the net front and getting sticks into passing lanes. They look at how the efforts on the first and third goals against were not good enough. They also discuss how the Penguins forechecked and how that was also not good enough against a team that won't be good defensively. After that, they get into the PP, along with the PK before getting into some of the positives that came from this game. FInally, Warrior Helmet Wednesday debuts!

Penguins-Blackhawks preview plus, who scores the first goal?

It's time for the first game preview of the season! Hunter and Pat preview what's to come on Tuesday night between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Chicago Blackhawks as opening night has finally arrived. They dive into how Conor Bedard and Taylor Hall are obviously the Blackhawks' best players and how Mike Sullivan will try to neutralize them since they're both on the top line. They then look at the rest of their lineup and how the Penguins will have an advantage if they can slow down the Hawks' top line. The Penguins have better depth than the Hawks and that needs to show. More than anything, they discuss how the Penguins should win this game since the Blackhawks' roster isn't very good still. They also get into what else to watch for in this game, plus who will score the first goal for the Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Your 2023-24 Pittsburgh Penguins season preview!

It's finally here! The regular season is about to start and Hunter and Pat are fired up about it. To start off the show, they give their immediate reactions to the 22-man roster and how stunned they are that Radim Zohorna didn't make the team. They get into how Ryan Shea beat out Mark Friedman and how even the newcomer, John Ludvig, made the team. Of course, this can (and will) change during the season (it may even change tomorrow) so people always have to be aware. They also discuss Jake Guentzel and how he looks primed to be in the lineup on Tuesday night since they're only carrying 12 forwards (at least for now). After that, they dive into their bold predictions for this season and they have some really good ones. Finally, they discuss what will make this season a successful one for the Penguins.

Penguins preseason comes to a close!

The Pittsburgh Penguins are set to play in their final preseason game on Friday night against the Buffalo Sabres. To start the show, Hunter and Pat preview the game and who they have their eye on with final cuts due next week. They also analyze how this is a great dress rehearsal game for the Penguins since they can see what they're made of against a really good Buffalo Sabres team. After that, they get into how they want to see how the power play does since it's been a bit of a weak spot during the preseason. They then discuss the roster cuts from Thursday and Friday and how none of them should really be surprising to anyone. Finally, they give their predictions as to which forwards will make it outside the regular ones everyone knows will be on. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Pittsburgh Penguins are set to play in their final preseason game on Friday night against the Buffalo Sabres. To start the show, Hunter and Pat preview the game and who they have their eye on with final cuts due next week. They also analyze how this is a great dress rehearsal game for the Penguins since they can see what they're made of against a really good Buffalo Sabres team. After that, they get into how they want to see how the power play does since it's been a bit of a weak spot during the preseason. They then discuss the roster cuts from Thursday and Friday and how none of them should really be surprising to anyone. Finally, they give their predictions as to which forwards will make it outside the regular ones everyone knows will be on.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!IndeedIndeed knows when you’re growing your own business, you have to make every dollar count. Visit Indeed.com/LOCKEDON to start hiring now. BirddogsGo to birddogs.com/LOCKEDONNHL or enter promo code LOCKEDONNHL for a free water bottle with any order.

Penguins roster moves continue as training camp winds down!

We're closing in on the end of training camp and the preseason and a couple of roster spots are still up for grabs. To start today's show, Hunter and Pat give their thoughts on Wednesday night's game and who stood out. Hunter starts with Radim Zohorna and how he has to be on the team next week. He details what he did right during the game and how it's super impressive. He also gets into Jansen Harkins' game and why he may also be a dark horse for the opening night roster. Both Hunter and Pat analyze his game from Wednesday night and how he seems to be a natural fit for the bottom six. They then discuss how Alex Nedeljkovic has won the backup job after his latest performance before getting to a couple of new studio hires. Both Hunter and Pat discuss what these two hires mean for the present and the future of Penguins broadcasts and how this is shaping up to be quite the team. Finally, they look at how the Salary Cap is projected to go up and what that means for the Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

It's time for another Penguins preseason game!

The Penguins are back in action again on Wednesday night and with that comes another preseason game! Hunter and Pat set the stage for the game as the Penguins will be playing a lot of their fringe NHL players and some of their AHL players as well against the Detroit Red Wings. Both hosts dive into who they're looking forward to seeing since the preseason is almost over and how the Penguins tend to play some of their better hockey in the preseason when they don't have their best lineups out. After that, they get into the latest regarding Jake Guentzel and how he seems to be getting closer to a return before ending the show with some news about PO Joseph.

Penguins shutout in Nova Scotia Showdown by Senators

The Pittsburgh Penguins lost in Sidney Crosby's hometown on Monday night but it's only the preseason, thankfully. Hunter and Pat recap this game by first starting with the power play. They give their thoughts on the unit and why it's fine to work out the kinks now rather than the regular season. They look at what is plaguing the unit and what can be improved before the regular season starts. After that, they look at some of the standouts from the game, including Radim Zohorna and Tristan Jarry. Has Zohorna played his way onto the roster? How was Tristan Jarry's performance after the first goal? They even go into Erik Karlsson's game and how he looked in another preseason game. Finally, the two dive into the waiver claim of Jansen Harkins and whether he can help the team in any way going forward. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Previewing the Penguins in Nova Scotia!

It's a special Monday episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast as Hunter and Pat preview what's to come between the Penguins and Senators. They discuss how the Senators present a unique challenge to the Penguins and how this will be a true test for the regular season that will start next week. They also look at players to watch for this game and how the Senators are building a contender for diving into some new-look lines for the Penguins. They discuss Radim Zohorna and how he's getting a shot with Evgeni Malkin. Can he make the most of it? Could this be the game that puts him onto the active roster next week? They also discuss Vinnie Hinostroza getting a look with DOC and Eller and how he could do next to them. They even analyze the Ryan Shea situation and how he could be playing himself into a full-time role with the team. Finally, they get excited about Sportsnet Pittsburgh since this will be the first game televised by the new-look broadcast. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Penguins preseason standouts, plus, are we surprised about Ty Smith not being claimed?

It's a Victory Friday for the Pittsburgh Penguins after they took down the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday night. To start off the show, Hunter and Pat recap the Penguins' 3-1 win and discuss who their standouts were. Hunter starts with Tristan Jarry with the saves that he made and how he finally looked healthy. They also look into how Rickard Rakell played and how he continues to show off his chemistry with Sidney Crosby. Will that be a thing all season long? They also analyze Drew O'Connor's big game and how Lars Eller made quite a few impressions with his skating and his play in the offensive zone. After that, they dive into Ty Smith not being claimed and whether they were both surprised before looking at what the next steps are for him. They also look at the other cuts that were made before finishing off with some Jake Guentzel talk. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Penguins-Sabres preview, plus Ty Smith gets placed on waivers!

It's another Pittsburgh Penguins game day on Thursday with a matchup against te Buffalo Sabres. Hunter and Pat first discuss the lineup that the Penguins will be putting out, plus who they'll have their eye on. They especially look at the top two lines since they're different with Jake Guentzel out and look at how Alex Nylander can continue to try and get a spot with more strong play. They also look at what may be a preview of some of the bottom six lines (DOC and Eller, especially) and how that winger spot on the other side could still be up for grabs. After that, they dive into the Sabres lineup and who they'll be bringing for the game. Should the Penguins mop the floor with them? How should Tristan Jarry perform? What else are the two looking to see? Finally, they look at a new third pairing and why we may already know who won the No. 6 job. All that, plus some live BREAKING NEWS, is on this edition of the Locked On Penguins podcast. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

A MAJOR standout from the Penguins third preseason game emerges!

The Penguins played a fun game against the Red Wings on Tuesday night and Hunter, along with Pat, are here to break it down. They discuss who their biggest standout was and how he is giving it all he has to make the team. They then discuss a couple of the other standouts, including Sam Poulin and Alex Nedeljkovic. After that, they dive into how PO Joseph has likely done enough to hold off Ty Smith before getting into the practice lines that we saw on Wednesday. What stood out to both hosts? They then look at the power play deployment and what Mike Sullivan has in store before breaking down the latest news on Brayden Yager. Did the Penguins get it right with this decision? After that, they look at which players to keep an eye on for Thursday's matchup against the Buffalo Sabres. All that, plus much more is on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast.

Who stood out during Sunday's two Penguins preseason games?

The Pittsburgh Penguins finally played a couple of actual hockey games on Sunday with two split-squad preseason games. Before Hunter and Pat get to those games though, they discuss some of the first roster cuts and if anything stood out. They also look at how the Mark Psysk injury affects things for the No. 6 defensive spot as he's trying to make the team. They look at how it's good news that he wasn't outright cut so hopefully, the injury isn't that big of a deal. After that, they analyze who stood out during the two games, starting with Brayden Yager. The two marvel at his shootout goal and how the moment doesn't look too big for him. They discuss how long he's going to be kept in the fold before likely heading down to junior. The two also marvel at how good Alex Nylander is as he continues to push for a spot. Hunter then brings up Austin Wagner's goal and how it was a gorgeous backhand before they analyze Sam Poulin and how great he has looked. Finally, they end the show with what to expect at camp and in the preseason this week. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Before Hunter and Pat get to those games though, they discuss some of the first roster cuts and if anything stood out. They also look at how the Mark Psysk injury affects things for the No. 6 defensive spot as he's trying to make the team. They look at how it's good news that he wasn't outright cut so hopefully, the injury isn't that big of a deal. After that, they analyze who stood out during the two games, starting with Brayden Yager. The two marvel at his shootout goal and how the moment doesn't look too big for him. They discuss how long he's going to be kept in the fold before likely heading down to junior. The two also marvel at how good Alex Nylander is as he continues to push for a spot. Hunter then brings up Austin Wagner's goal and how it was a gorgeous backhand before they analyze Sam Poulin and how great he has looked. Finally, they end the show with what to expect at camp and in the preseason this week.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!DoorDashGet fifty percent off your first DoorDash order up to a twenty-dollar value when you use the code locked at checkout.

Penguins Training Camp Day 2 Analysis with Josh Yohe!

Hunter and Pat wrap up the first week of daily episodes with Josh Yohe from The Athletic. They start with Josh's thoughts and analysis from the second day of training camp and what stood out to him on Friday. That includes Evgeni Malkin and Reilly Smith starting to form some chemistry, as well as Colin White looking good on a PTO. Is there a chance White makes the team out of camp since he was good enough to be on the Florida Panthers last year? They also dive into Erik Karlsson and how he's looked so far with his new team. After that, they get Josh's thoughts on how the core group of players are feeling with camp starting and if they feel hungrier than in year's past. They also get his thoughts on some of the other battles that are going on, including the No. 6 defensive spot and the backup goaltending spot. Does Ruhwedel have the inside track to play with PO Joseph? Is Ned going to be Jarry's backup? Finally, the two get Josh's thoughts on how he sees the team for this season and he even drops a small Jake Guentzel nugget in. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Penguins Training Camp Day One Analysis!

Training camp is finally here, which means Pat and Hunter have live hockey to react to. They first discuss some of the lines that stood out to them on Thursday, even though Mike Sullivan says to not read into them...too much! Hey, they read into the "duos" if you will. They especially look at Vinnie Hinostroza and how he was skating with Sidney Crosby and Bryan Rust and if we could see that in a preseason game soon. They then look at how the defensive pairings seem to be playing out as expected, especially in the top four. After that, they get to the big news on Jake Guentzel as he's back on the ice. Pat and Hunter analyze what that means for the Penguins and how his absence will be shortlived after all the panic was out there during the offseason. Finally, they look at how the mood of the team is for camp and how everyone seems to have a massive chip on their shoulders after how last season ended. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Which Penguins prospects impressed during Friday's prospects challenge?

Friday was the first day of the Prospects Challenge and even though the Penguins lost, some decent hockey was still played. Jeff Taylor of Fly Penguins Fly joins Hunter for this episode since Patrick Damp had a couple of things come up. They first discuss their thoughts on the Pens-Bruins prospects game and who stood out. Did Sam Houde impress? What about Joel Blomqvist? Hunter also discusses a player who some may not have noticed that much, but he did. After that, the two dive into what it was like watching a game without any commentary since it was a completely different experience. Is this someone Jeff and Hunter enjoyed? Did more fans enjoy it, or would more fans enjoy it? That leads into some talk about the broadcasting crew for next year before they end the show with how exciting this event is since hockey is officially back. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Which Penguins prospects impressed during Friday's prospects challenge?

Friday was the first day of the Prospects Challenge and even though the Penguins lost, some decent hockey was still played.

Penguins training camp storylines!

Training camp is less than two weeks away! To get into the spirit of things, Hunter and Pat dive into three of the biggest storylines heading into camp with the season so close to starting. They first dive into Erik Karlsson and how he will mesh with the Penguins under Mike Sullivan. How will he do when it comes to not being "the guy" every night? What will having a partner in Marcus Pettersson do for him? In turn, how will EK65 help Evgeni Malkin since the latter will FINALLY get ice time with a No. 1 defenseman? After that, they switch gears to Drew O'Connor and whether his camp performance can carry over into the regular season where he can be an every-night player. They discuss his strengths and what he still needs to work on, plus how he could use more time this season so that the Penguins can properly evaluate him. Finally, they look at Tristan Jarry and what he will look like now that he has a massive extension. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Who are "locks" for the Pittsburgh Penguins bottom six this season?

It's the final week of 3 shows, and Pat and Hunter start off Tuesday's podcast edition with Colin White signing a PTO. They dive into his numbers from his time with the Senators and Panthers and give fans a taste of what to expect from him. They also analyze whether he has what it takes to make the team since his numbers have dropped a bit since his career-high season in 2018-19. After that, they get into the latest Tomas Tatar news as he has signed a one-year contract with the Colorado Avalanche. They look at whether Kyle Dubas will be kicking himself for not making this move when he had the chance, even when they didn't have a lot of salary cap space. They also analyze whether Dubas' risk of a defense-first bottom six will pay off before ending the show, predicting which players are locks for the bottom six compared to which players will have to fight their way onto rosters. All that, plus much more is on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Reasonable expectations for Jeff Carter this season?

Happy Friday! With that comes another episode of the podcast as Pat and Hunter start the show with which players will surprise in camp and make the team. Both hosts come up with outside-the-box picks that are not currently on the roster while also looking at whether any of the fringe players can surprise. After that, they dive into the prospects challenge lineup being announced and who they're excited to see. It starts off with Brayden Yager as he was the top pick in this year's draft. How will he do against other top team's prospects? After that, the two dive into some of the other players who they're excited to watch and how the Penguins prospect system is starting to turn around. Finally, they end the season with some expectations for Jeff Carter since he's going into the final year of his contract. How many minutes per game should he get? What should Mike Sullivan focus on for him? Who would be some of the best linemates for him? All that, plus much more is on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Penguins continue to add to their front office!

Hunter is back for this episode of Locked On Penguins and together, he and Pat discuss the Doug Wilson hire and how it looks to be a slam dunk for the Pittsburgh Penguins. They look at how Wilson did during his tenure with the San Jose Sharks and how he turned them into a contender for over a decade. The two analyze his role with the Penguins and how this front office is shaping up to be among the best in the NHL. After that, the two discuss how the Penguins have a great shot at finishing third in the Metropolitan Division this season. Pat argues why both the Rangers and Islanders may take some steps back while Hunter primarily argues against the Islanders. Finally, they take some questions from listeners to end the show, including a bunch on Kyle Dubas. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Will Phil Kessel put his Iron Man streak on the line for the Penguins?

Garrett Behanna joins Patrick Damp on this episode of Locked On Penguins and they talk about how Phil Kessel's people have informed NHL teams that he's willing to give up his Iron Man streak in order to play this season, so does that mean a Penguins reunion is in the works? They discuss if it's worth it for both sides, then since it's Garrett's first time on the show, they talk about his expectations for this Penguins team this upcoming season. Are they a contender, will they make the postseason, and what are some realistic goals for this franchise at this juncture? Finally, they have a little fun imagining what Penguins players, past or present, would make good WWE Superstars. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! FanDuel Make Every Moment More.

A shake up in the broadcast booth is coming, what's next?

Josh Taylor joins Patrick Damp on this episode of the Locked On Penguins Podcast and they discuss the breaking news that Steve Mears and Bob Errey will not be on the broadcast team this upcoming season and what could come next for the team's television broadcast.

Lastly, on this day in 1999, Mario Lemieux's purchase of the Pittsburgh Penguins was made official by the National Hockey League. How all of that happened, what's happened since, and why it just had to be Le Magnifique who purchased the team. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! FanDuel Make Every Moment More.

Lastly, on this day in 1999, Mario Lemieux's purchase of the Pittsburgh Penguins was made official by the National Hockey League. How all of that happened, what's happened since, and why it just had to be Le Magnifique who purchased the team.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!FanDuelMake Every Moment More.

The Penguins sign 3 PTOs: Who stays, who goes?

The Pittsburgh Penguins have been busy this week and Hunter and Pat are here to discuss all of the latest news. They first start out with the three players who were signed to PTO contracts late Tuesday night into Wednesday and analyze whether they have a shot of making the team. They start with Lubor Hajek and how his NHL sample has been ROUGH, to say the least before looking at both Mark Pysyk and Austin Wagner. Which of those two have the best odds of making the team? Can Pysyk push Ruhwedel for a job? Does Wagner fit the bill of the rest of the bottom six moves that were made this offseason? After that, they look at some of the FO moves that the Penguins made earlier this week, including hiring Cam Charron to add to their analytics team. Both Hunter and Pat praise this move a lot as FSG wants to keep building out the team's analytic staff. They also look at the scouts that were hired and have a discussion about how diverse this front office is. Finally, they end the show by discussing how FSG plans to buy AT&T Sportsnet and how this can only be a good thing for the Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Opening up the Penguins mailbag part 2!

Happy Monday! Hunter and Pat are back with part 2 of the show's mailbag edition, and they have some great questions to answer! They first start out by discussing the goaltending and how Alex Nedeljkovic could be primed for a rebound this year. They look at how he played with the Carolina Hurricanes and discuss how he'll be going to a better defensive system than the one he was a part of while with the Red Wings. They also discuss whether Tristan Jarry will have a bounce-back season in 2023 before moving on to a few questions about the defense. They analyze PO Joseph and whether he can turn into a top-four defenseman for this year while also analyzing Ryan Graves and if he can be a true top-pairing guy for Kris Letang. Finally, they end the show by looking at whether the Penguins can beat the Hurricanes or the Devils in a seven-game series while also taking a couple of fun questions.

Opening up the Penguins mailbag, Part 1!

It's a mailbag Friday edition of the Locked On Penguins podcast as Hunter and Pat answer your questions! They first look at who will score more points between Erik Karlsson and Sidney Crosby this season before looking at whether Letang and Karlsson will be on the power play together. They also answer a question about who could be dealt at the deadline for help since the Penguins are up against the salary cap. They then discuss a possible Phil Kessel reunion and why it would be a lot of fun, but in terms of on-ice play, it's probably too late. They even take a question about the Penguins potentially selling at one point during a season with the big three before answering some fun questions, such as the best jersey in franchise history, plus which players post 1990-on would you want to have in the top six (Penguins-specific, which Hunter almost forgot). They even have a great conversation about Ryan Mill and how he's been amazing since taking over for John Barbero. All that, plus much more is on this special edition of the podcast.

Is the NHL finally getting back to Olympic competitions?

Happy Wednesday! Hunter and Pat are back for another episode of the podcast as the two start out with whether Sidney Crosby will hit 100 points this season or not. They look at what he did this past season and how he stayed relatively healthy, though he finished with 93 points. How can he get 7 extra points for this season? The two look at how Erik Karlsson will be a big factor in getting him to 100 and how Jake Guentzel could also be a big factor if he's able to play at a higher level once he comes back from his injury. They also discuss his production on the PP and at 5v5, before moving on to which player in the bottom six will score the most goals this season. Hunter gives his answer (it's a newcomer) while Pat goes with someone a bit on the younger side. Finally, they end the show with some international hockey talk as Bill Daly and the league look set on firing up some best-on-best events for the first time in nearly a decade.

Who are some good PTO candidates for the Penguins?

It's Monday, so yinz know what that means! In this episode, Hunter and Pat dive into some PTO options for the Penguins, starting with Nolan Patrick. He didn't play this past season as he continues to battle back from injuries, but could he be an option if he is healthy? The two analyze what he's done at the NHL level so far and while he may not be what everyone thought he was going to be, he could still be a good bet for a team that needs more offense for its bottom six. They then look at Jesse Puljujarvi after he was a member of the Carolina Hurricanes and Edmonton Oilers. The two look at how he has strong offensive and defensive capabilities, while also looking at his underlying numbers. Finally, they end the show with Jonathan Toews stepping away from the NHL and why the Blackhawks' Core 3 went out with a whimper, unlike the Penguins Core 3. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Welcome to the Pittsburgh Penguins Multiverse Of Madness!

Welcome to a Fun Friday edition of the Locked On Penguins podcast as Pat and Hunter bring you the Multiverse Of Madness. They look at a few "What If" scenarios in Penguins' history and start with Sidney Crosby not getting a concussion during the 2010-11 season. They look at how much time he missed and how we were all robbed of "Prime Sidney Crosby." They discuss how many more points he would have right now if he didn't miss that time, plus if the Penguins would have had another Stanley Cup during the 2010s had he not missed all that time. After that, they shift gears to a "What If" for the Penguins-Rangers series in 2014 and how the Penguins blew that one. Had they won the series, would they have won the Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017? What about Dan Byslma and Ray Shero? Finally, they end the show with a big "What If" surrounding Mario Lemieux and what could've happened if he stayed healthy throughout his career.

A special Penguins-Jackets crossover with Jay Forster of Locked On Blue Jackets!

It's crossover Wednesday as another Metropolitan Division rival host joins Locked On Penguins for a special crossover. Hunter and Pat sit down with Jay to discuss both teams this offseason, starting with the Penguins. Jay asks both hosts how Kyle Dubas has done this offseason and if the Penguins are a contender heading into the year. He also gets into the obvious Erik Karlsson trade and how the Penguins really didn't have to give up much value to the Sharks before the roles are reversed. Hunter and Pat take turns asking Jay questions about the Blue Jackets as they could be a sneaky good team heading into the year. They also dive into the Jackets hiring Mike Babcock as their head coach and how they were aggressive in reshaping their blue line. The three hosts then dive into the Metropolitan Division and why it's going to be the best in the NHL this season before giving some August Stanley Cup predictions.

Will the Penguins figure out a way to sign Tomas Tatar?

It's already mid-August and the season will be here before we know it! Hunter and Pat start off today's show with the latest updates on Tomas Tatar and why he seems to be in discussions for a contract with the Penguins. Hunter and Pat look at how he'd be a great fit for the team as the Penguins lack a true middle-six winger for the bottom six. They also analyze how this would give the Penguins a basically perfect offseason considering everything else Kyle Dubas has done. They then try to figure out what kind of contract he will get since that's what it's probably gonna come down to that (the money). They then discuss how the Penguins will have the cap space for next year to make an impact signing, especially with how good the free agent class looks. Finally, they wrap the show with some goalie talk and how nobody should be surprised by the moves that Dubas made at the position this offseason. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Putting the Erik Karlsson trade in historical context!

It's Friday, but we're still not done with the Erik Karlsson content. Hunter and Pat continue to discuss Karlsson to start this episode by going into their biggest takeaways from his press conference on Wednesday. They look at how he seems ready to be a leader in the locker room and how he felt refreshed to be there considering all of the trade rumors he's had to deal with. They also discuss how he seemed to keep it real with everyone and how he didn't give the same boring answers that other players did. They also analyze how the Penguins could be a massive threat in 3-on-3 OT this year with both Karlsson and Letang available to them during most shifts. After that, they dive into where the Karlsson trade ranks in terms of some of the best in franchise history. Does it have the potential to be the best? Where does it rank today, even though he has yet to play a game with the team yet? This also gives Hunter and Pat to go down memory lane for some of the best deals in franchise history. Finally, the two hosts end the show by giving their thoughts on the QMJHL banning fighting and whether that could happen at the NHL at some point. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Top Pairing Erik Karlsson - who plays more minutes?

Happy Wednesday, and yes, the Erik Karlsson content continues. It is Erik Karlsson week after all! Hunter and Pat start the show off by discussing who between Kris Letang and Erik Karlsson will be getting the true top pairing minutes. Is it going to be closer than some think? Hunter gives his argument for what could put Kris Letang over the top while Pat gives his argument as to who is going to get the more time. They then discuss how this is a great luxury for the Penguins and Mike Sullivan to have since they've never really had this for as long as he's been the head coach. After that, they discuss a couple of comments that Mike Sullivan made to Josh Yohe recently and how he's super pumped about the deal after the Jacob Chychrun thing fell through with Ron Hextall. They look at who he will likely deploy Karlsson with and how he's not super concerned about his defense since he won't have to be the same player that he was with the Sharks. Finally, they debut a new weekly segment for the first time and while it won't fully start until the regular season begins, they both thought it'd be best to debut it for this Wednesday edition of the show.

Erik Karlsson is a Penguin...what now?

It's been quite the last 24 hours for the Pittsburgh Penguins with the Erik Karlsson deal. After doing an emergency show on Sunday, Pat and Hunter are back for a normal show on Monday as they continue to discuss the Erik Karlsson deal. They look at why the naysayers are looking at this deal all wrong considering that the Penguins have won three Stanley Cups during this era and how this trade sets the Penguins up to not be irrelevant sooner rather than later. They also look at what this deal means for the rest of the defense, specifically that No. 6 spot now that Jan Rutta is no longer with the team. Is Chad Ruhwedel the favorite for the job? What about Mark Friedman? After that, they look at what Kyle Dubas could have in store next. Is Tomas Tatar on the team's radar? Will they have the space for him? They also look at a couple of other options at forward while also discussing whether this was truly it for the offseason before ending the show by celebrating Sidney Crosby's 36th birthday.

Jake Guentzel hurt, Erik Karlsson in? Kyle Dubas promoted!

Hunter and Pat are back for an episode of the podcast on Friday and oh boy, there are A LOT of topics to discuss. They first start off with the Jake Guentzel injury as the Penguins got brutal news on him to start the day on Friday. They look at how this will affect things with the team for the next 12+ weeks. They also discuss who will replace him on the top line to start the season and Hunter even puts Drew O'Connor's name into the fold, even though he has never gotten top six minutes before. They also analyze whether Dubas will sign anyone to replace Guentzel while also realizing that they'd have to be cap compliant whenever Guentzel comes back from his injury. After that, they analyze Drew O'Connor's deal more in-depth before discussing why this weekend looks like it's going to be super important for multiple reasons. Heck, Hunter even makes a bold prediction for this weekend, especially when it comes to the Erik Karlsson situation. Will Mikael Granlund be bought out? They dive into that question as well before finishing the show with Kyle Dubas promoting himself to GM and looking at the other front office moves from Thursday.

It's time for another Penguins-Rangers crossover with Jon Chik!

Happy Wednesday! It's just Hunter for this special episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast because Pat had something work-related coming up, but the show must always go on, right? Hunter is joined by Jon Chik of Locked On New York Rangers to discuss Nick Bonino signing with the Rangers and what that means for them going forward. What kind of impact will he have with them this season? Will Hunter ever feel weird about Bonino being a Ranger after everything he accomplished as a Penguin? Is he still someone who can be clutch for you in the playoffs? They discuss that, before looking at how important Bonino was during the 2016 and 2017 runs for the Penguins. Yes, that means a trip down memory lane for the HBK line is in order. They also discuss Bonino's best moment as a Penguin before getting into the state of both teams, including how Jon feels about the Rangers this upcoming season. Also: Are the Rangers the Penguins' biggest rival right now and vice versa? All that, plus much more is on this crossover edition of the Locked On Penguins podcast.

Forecasting Drew O'Connor's next contract with the Penguins!

Happy Monday, and the final day of July! Hunter and Pat are back for another fresh episode of the podcast and they start the show with some front-office news from over the weekend as Amanda Kessel was hired to the Penguins front office full-time. The two dive into what that means for the front office and what her expertise is likely going to be before looking at how this is the same role that Jason Spezza had under Dubas in Toronto. They also dive into what their future could look like as a hockey executive in the NHL. Is she going to be a full-time GM one day? Could that be with the Penguins? After that, they analyze why this is a big week for Drew O'Connor and the Penguins since his arbitration hearing is on Friday. They look at what he could sign for after doing some digging on other players who are close in terms of production while also thinking about what his full role will be on the team for this season. Finally, they end the show by celebrating Evgeni Malkin's birthday and looking back at some of his best moments as a Pittsburgh Penguin. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Which Penguin players are next for the HOF, plus the new co-host debuts!

Hunter has added some help to the Locked On Penguins podcast as Patrick Damp of Dying Alive is now the show's new co-host. Pat introduces himself to everyone before they dive into the first topic: Matt Murray being placed on LTIR. They discuss how he hasn't been the same since his father passed away a few years ago, plus how he still can't overcome his injuries. They look at how he's come close to returning to where he used to be in 2016, 2017, and 2018, but just gets hurt before that can happen. They also discuss how he'll always be Penguin royalty for what he did during those B2B cup runs before they dive into which former Penguin players are next to get into the Hall of Fame. When does Sergei Gonchar get in? Is Phil Kessel worthy of being in the Hall of Fame? Does Chris Kunitz have a strong case at some point? The two dive into their numbers and give their expert opinions before Hunter brings up Marc-Andre Fleury and while he may not get in on the first try, he still belongs in there. Finally, the two look at some Hall of Very Good players, including Patric Hornqvist and...Kevin Stevens? All that, plus much more is on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Who is under the most pressure this season for the Penguins?

The guests continue to roll in as we are now in the late stages of summer. Joining Wednesday's edition of the show is Matt Gajtka, formerly of DK Pittsburgh Sports, and they first discuss which Penguin players are under the most pressure heading into the season. They look at a player like Jeff Petry, who didn't perform up to expectations this season, along with Bryan Rust, before Matt brings up an obvious candidate in Sidney Crosby as he tries to defy time. They also look at Mike Sullivan and how he's under pressure to adjust before moving on to realistic expectations for Reilly Smith heading into this season. What sort of production should fans expect out of him? Is he going to get the team a few extra points due to his elite play on the PK? How different of a scorer is he, compared to Jason Zucker? The two jump into that before ending the show on a fun "What If?" note regarding what would've happened if the Penguins had drafted Patrice Bergeron in the 2003 NHL Draft? The two go into all kinds of scenarios, especially about future lotteries, before looking back at how great of a career Bergeron had.

Constructing the perfect Erik Karlsson trade with JD Young of Locked On Sharks!

It's Tuesday, July 25th, and Erik Karlsson is still providing us with much content. Because of that, Hunter is joined by JD Young of Locked On Sharks to break everything down when it comes to Erik Karlsson. They first look at Karlsson's comments over the weekend to a Swedish reporter and what their main takeaways are before diving into how much longer this is going to go on. They analyze whether Mike Grier is going to stop playing this game of chicken with every team before diving into whether the Penguins are the best fit for Karlsson. JD discusses why they're definitely up there, but he does have another team with them as a good fit, and no, it's not the Carolina Hurricanes. They also discuss how Kris Letang has given the Penguins his blessing to bring Karlsson in before ending the show with a mock trade proposal. The two come up with a trade that works for both sides and come to the conclusion that it's time to call Mike Grier and Kyle Dubas.

What were some of the best Penguins goals this past season?

Happy Friday! Hunter is back with more Penguins content and starts the show by discussing some of the best goals of this past season. Where does Evgeni Malkin's goal against Darcy Kuemper rank? What about his goal against the Calgary Flames in the shootout after he had his 1,000th game against the Chicago Blackhawks recently? Hunter also discusses Sidney Crosby's brilliant goal against the Colorado Avalanche in late March while he was at the Steel Panther show. He showed off once again why he has the best backhand in all of hockey. He also analyzes Crosby's OT winner against the Columbus Blue Jackets late in the season when the Penguins came from four goals down, along with Jake Guentzel's OT winner against the Ducks when it looked like the team was about to lose. After that, Hunter looks at the latest updates on Erik Karlsson courtesy of Rob Rossi and gives his thoughts on the continued stalemate. Finally, Hunter discusses the NHL hopefully returning to the Olympics in 2026 and how it will be the final hurrah for Crosby and Malkin when it comes to winning gold medals.

What were some of the best Penguins goals this past season?

Happy Friday! Hunter is back with more Penguins content and starts the show by discussing some of the best goals of this past season. Where does Evgeni Malkin's goal against Darcy Kuemper rank? What about his goal against the Calgary Flames in the shootout after he had his 1,000th game against the Chicago Blackhawks recently? Hunter also discusses Sidney Crosby's brilliant goal against the Colorado Avalanche in late March while he was at the Steel Panther show. He showed off once again why he has the best backhand in all of hockey. He also analyzes Crosby's OT winner against the Columbus Blue Jackets late in the season when the Penguins came from four goals down, along with Jake Guentzel's OT winner against the Ducks when it looked like the team was about to lose. After that, Hunter looks at the latest updates on Erik Karlsson courtesy of Rob Rossi and gives his thoughts on the continued stalemate.

Are we underrating the Penguins offseason so far, with Jesse Marshall!

Hunter is back with another guest for this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast as Jesse Marshall from The Athletic and McKeens Hockey joins to discuss the Penguins' offseason to date, specifically for how much they have improved so far this offseason. The two look at Dom's article from The Athletic and how his model is super optimistic regarding the Penguins' offseason. Do Hunter and Jesse feel the same way? They look at the moves that Dubas made and while they have improved, it still may not be as much as Dom would think. They also dive into Dom's model versus what JFresh's model is saying and how the analytics can be a bit different before they look at some more milestones for both Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang heading into next season. Finally, they end the show with some breakout player candidates for the Penguins, even though they don't have too many for this season. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Will Sidney Crosby crack the top 10 of the NHL's all-time points leaders this season?

Welcome to the dead zone! Hunter starts the show by discussing Ty Smith's contract and what it means for the Penguins this upcoming season. Is he going to be able to take a spot in the lineup every night? Is the battle against PO Joseph going to be that much more interesting? Hunter also looks at how the Penguins need to be careful with Smithy because he is no longer waivers exempt. He will now have to go through waivers in order to be sent down to WBS this upcoming season. He also dives into his numbers from this past season and analyzes what makes him stand out more than POJ and vice versa. After that, Hunter looks at how Sidney Crosby is looking at a couple of significant milestones this upcoming season. Hunter analyzes Sid's chances at getting into the NHL's all-time points leaders this season and how many points he needs, despite him about to be 36. He then looks at how he's approaching the 1,000-assist mark and how it's going to be a special night when he gets that milestone. Finally, he ends the show with a full list of games that should be must-watch/must-sees for fans this upcoming season. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! FanDuel Make Every Moment More.

Hunter wraps up the mailbag discussion during today's episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast and is joined by first-time guest Patrick Damp to also wrap up Season 4 of the show. They discuss questions regarding backup plans for the Penguins if they're not able to get Erik Karlsson, and that's where Hunter brings up Troy Terry, even though he's an RFA. He's exactly the type of player that Kyle Dubas would go after, even though he's not another defenseman. Hunter also takes questions regarding if this is still a playoff team if Karlsson doesn't get dealt to them, and even takes a question about a hypothetical Jake Guentzel for William Nylander swap. They also get into what their favorite Penguins games that they've attended, plus which is the best goal of the Sidney Crosby era to date before ending the show with some Tristan Jarry talk.

Part One of opening up the mailbag!

Hunter decided to open up the mailbag for the first time in quite a while on Thursday and some great questions were asked! To start the show, Hunter dives into all of the Erik Karlsson questions, including whether this deal will get done by August 1st and what may have to be included for a deal to work. He also takes a question about what the best food is in PPG Paints Arena before looking at if Mike Sullivan could be on the hot seat if the Penguins stumble out of the gate. He also looks at what an ideal Jake Guentzel contract extension looks like before ending the show with some talk about new front office hires and how he got into hockey at such a young kid.

Noel Acciari and Lars Eller reveal the plans for the Penguins bottom six!

The dog days of summer have arrived but that doesn't mean there are not things to discuss! For this episode, Hunter is joined by Tyler Weeks of Around The 412 to discuss what Lars Eller and Noel Acciari had to say to the media on Tuesday. They look at how the plans for the bottom six were revealed and whether or not it's a good plan with a core that's a bit older. They look at the potential of a Nieto-Eller-Acciari line and whether that will be the third line heading into the year. After that, they look at what the backup plan is if the Penguins do not land Erik Karlsson. Could the team have interest in Matt Dumba? Will Jeff Petry be on the team at that point? Finally, they end the show with what the top games were this past season even though they missed the playoffs. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Everyone ready for the forward battles during Penguins training camp?

The Pittsburgh Penguins made a couple of roster signings on Friday and they were peak Kyle Dubas moves. To start the show, Hunter dives into the two signings of Vinnie Hinostroza and Andreas Johnsson as Dubas brought in more depth players to compete for roster spots. Hunter starts by breaking down Hinostroza's strengths and weaknesses before moving over to Johnsson. He discusses how he's one heck of a playmaker and it showed during his time in New Jersey. He also has a history with Kyle Dubas, so that also played a factor in him signing. After that, he looks at what these moves mean for training camp as it has the potential to be extremely fascinating in September. Are DOC and Nylander locks to make the team still or will they have to earn it? What could the lines look like? Finally, he ends the show by looking at whether the Penguins are a playoff team as constructed right now. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Everyone ready for the forward battles during Penguins training camp?

The Pittsburgh Penguins made a couple of roster signings on Friday and they were peak Kyle Dubas moves. To start the show, Hunter dives into the two signings of Vinnie Hinostroza and Andreas Johnsson as Dubas brought in more depth players to compete for roster spots. Hunter starts by breaking down Hinostroza's strengths and weaknesses before moving over to Johnsson. He discusses how he's one heck of a playmaker and it showed during his time in New Jersey. He also has a history with Kyle Dubas, so that also played a factor in him signing. After that, he looks at what these moves mean for training camp as it has the potential to be extremely fascinating in September. Are DOC and Nylander locks to make the team still or will they have to earn it? What could the lines look like? Finally, he ends the show by looking at whether the Penguins are a playoff team as constructed right now.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BirddogsGo to birddogs.com/LOCKEDONNHL or enter promo code LOCKEDONNHL for a free Yeti-style tumbler with your order.

Should the Penguins take a flier on Filip Zadina?

Happy Friday! It's starting to get quiet around the NHL but that doesn't mean the content stops. Hunter is re-joined by Doug Glattke on his episode of the podcast and they first discuss Filip Zadina after he was placed on waivers before he had his contract terminated earlier this week. The two look at him as an option for the bottom six and ponder whether the team should take a flier on him. Hunter goes over his numbers from this past season along with how he's gotten better defensively before Doug discusses how he's the typical "Kyle Dubas signing." After that, the two look at Sam Poulin as he was at development camp earlier this week and how it's great to see him back with the organization after he stepped away back in December. They look at if he has a shot at making the team out of camp and what his NHL future looks like before they end the show by discussing what adjustments the Penguins need to make to their power play for this season.

What does Drew O'Connor's salary arbitration mean for the Penguins?

Happy Thursday again! This time, there's hardly any Erik Karlsson content for yinz as Hunter starts the show with some talk regarding Drew O'Connor. He dives into O'Connor filing for salary arbitration and what that means for him and the Penguins. He discusses how the two sides likely won't have to go to arbitration and that a deal should be easy to negotiate before looking at how this opens up a second buyout window for the team. He discusses when the second buyout window would open and if it's likely that the Penguins would use one considering that they did not during the regular window. He then moves on to his Metropolitan Division power rankings Post July 1 and where the Penguins stack up to the other teams in the division. Are they a playoff team? Are they outside the playoff picture right now? Finally, he ends the show by discussing Patric Hornqvist as he announced his retirement from the NHL on Wednesday. upport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! FanDuel Make Every Moment More.

Is this Erik Karlsson to the Penguins thing going to happen, with Josh Yohe!

Happy Wednesday! Hunter is back from his Fourth of July celebrations and is joined by Josh Yohe to discuss the past few days in Penguin Land. They first discuss the Erik Karlsson situation and if there's anything new on it. Josh drops a couple of nuggets about it, including about how something almost happened on Saturday before they look at how he would fit onto the team. They analyze who would play with him at 5v5 while also spitballing if he and Kris Letang would run the power play since Todd Reirden would be having a field day with that. Hunter also wonders when this trade will happen since the Sharks don't appear to be in a rush to make this deal, despite not having any leverage. Also: Who would be the perfect partner for EK65? After that, they discuss the Jarry contract and Josh gives his thoughts on it before they look at who will be his backup. Are Casey DeSmith's days numbered? They then discuss the bottom six and if Drew O'Connor and Alex Nylander will take major steps this upcoming season. Could they both get full-time roles with the team? What about Radim Zohorna after he was brought back? Finally, Hunter and Josh look at what else Kyle could do, especially if he doesn't get Erik Karlsson. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Does the bottom six need another scorer?

Happy Monday! Hunter starts off the latest episode of the show by touching on the moves that were made to the bottom six over the weekend. He discusses why they help the unit defensively but also why they may not get as much offense from it. He dives into Matt Nieto's numbers and why he benefitted from playing in San Jose's top six this past season before looking at how Lars Eller doesn't bring as much offense as he used to. He then argues that the Penguins mainly have two fourth lines right now and that they don't really have anyone who can step into the top six when needed. Who is the 3C on the team? Is that a concern? After that, Hunter discusses the latest on the Erik Karlsson situation and whether or not the team is still involved in trade talks. He then brings up the report that David Pagnotta had over the weekend and argues why the Penguins cannot, in any circumstance, trade Marcus Pettersson in a package for Erik Karlsson. It would be an absolute wreck. Finally, to end the show, he discusses the Tristan Jarry contract and what improvements he wants to see from him this upcoming season, outside of just staying healthy.

BONUS: The Penguins made A LOT of moves on Saturday! Are they done?

Happy Saturday! Today is a bonus episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast and Hunter is proud to be joined by Zachary Smith from Around The 412 to discuss everything the Penguins did on Saturday. They first get into the Tristan Jarry contract and if that stunned both of them. They also analyze how risky of a deal it is considering his health and inconsistent play and how everyone in the organization is sticking their necks out for him right now. Hunter also brings up how Dubas potentially felt cornered because a lot of the other goaltenders were coming off the market and outside of a few trade options, he was perhaps the best one left. They then analyze how the Penguins cannot run it back with Jarry and DeSmith as a tandem and that's when Alex Alex Nedeljkovic comes in. Is he going to be DeSmith's replacement? After the goalie talk, the two analyze the Ryan Graves signing and how he looks like he's the Brian Dumoulin replacement. Is he good enough to play on the top pairing? What does he bring to the Penguins that they lacked this past season? After that, they dive into the depth signings that Dubas made before ending the show by discussing if Dubas is done or not.

It's time for a Penguins free agency primer!

Happy almost Free Agency Day! Hunter starts the show by going into who was qualified by the Pittsburgh Penguins in terms of their restricted free agents and explains why he was not surprised by the decision regarding Ryan Poehling. He dives into how banged up he was earlier this year with his injury and how the Penguins may not be confident that he can ever be fully healthy again. He also discusses what a potential DOC contract looks like before getting to the news about Mikael Granlund not being bought out. He looks at how Kyle Dubas stuck to his word with it and how he may still try to dump him via trade this offseason. After that, he gives his predictions on which of the UFAs will come back before diving into his free agency primer. He analyzes Matt Duchene and why he'd be a TREMENDOUS fit for the Penguins, even though he's a bit older. He also looks at the smoke surrounding Blake Wheeler and why he'd pass on him before getting into some more options, including Max Pacioretty, PiUs Suter, Morgan Geekie, and Sam Steel. All of that, plus much more, is on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

It's time for a Penguins free agency primer!

Happy almost Free Agency Day! Hunter starts the show by going into who was qualified by the Pittsburgh Penguins in terms of their restricted free agents and explains why he was not surprised by the decision regarding Ryan Poehling. He dives into how banged up he was earlier this year with his injury and how the Penguins may not be confident that he can ever be fully healthy again. He also discusses what a potential DOC contract looks like before getting to the news about Mikael Granlund not being bought out. He looks at how Kyle Dubas stuck to his word with it and how he may still try to dump him via trade this offseason. After that, he gives his predictions on which of the UFAs will come back before diving into his free agency primer. He analyzes Matt Duchene and why he'd be a TREMENDOUS fit for the Penguins, even though he's a bit older. He also looks at the smoke surrounding Blake Wheeler and why he'd pass on him before getting into some more options, including Max Pacioretty, PiUs Suter, Morgan Geekie, and Sam Steel. All of that, plus much more, is on this episode of Locked On Penguins.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!AG1If a comprehensive solution is what you need from your supplement routine, then try AG1 and get a FREE 1-year supply of Vitamin D AND 5 free AG1 Travel Packs with your first purchase.

Reviewing the Penguins draft class with Josh Anselmo!

It's time to wrap up the 2023 NHL Draft! Hunter is joined by Josh Anselmo, a Penguins prospects writer and analyst to discuss how the Penguins did with their class. They first discuss Brayden Yager and Josh tries to convince all of the listeners/watchers that Yager could be ready faster than anticipated. He details what he saw when he was watching him and what his player comp is before they move on to Emil Pieniniemi. They discuss how he's a really good skater for someone his size but how that he may need a bit more time to develop. Was he a reach when he was taken? Both Josh and Hunter give their answers on that before moving on to Mikhail Ilyin. Could he have steal potential for the team? Is he an underrated playmaker? Josh gives his scouting report on him and when the Penguins could expect him to come over to North America before they discuss the other picks, including Emil Jarventie, who could be a massive steal for the team. Finally, the two wrap up with a couple of notable WBS signing, including Avery Hayes, and what their draft grades are for the team. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Penguins make their pick AND a trade in the same day!

Whew, what a day for the Pittsburgh Penguins! Hunter starts today's episode with a full breakdown and analysis of Brayden Yager after he predicted him to be the pick in the Locked On NHL Mock Draft. He got something right! He looks at how he has one of the best shots in the class and why he seems to not be as selfish with it going forward. He also brings up how Yager worked more on his two-way game this past season, which is why some of the numbers fell, but that he still needs a lot of work in the defensive end. When will he be ready for the NHL? Hunter also discusses that before moving on to the Reilly Smith acquisition. He analyzes how great Smith is off the rush and at 5v5 before discussing why he's going to be of tremendous value to the team while killing penalties. He then looks at what Kyle Dubas said about potentially bringing back Jason Zucker and if that even makes sense based on the team's salary cap situation. Finally, he ends the show with why the Penguins could and should open up more space before Saturday since Jeff Petry was in some trade rumors on Wednesday. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

BREAKING: The Pittsburgh Penguins have traded for Reilly Smith!

The Pittsburgh Penguins have made their first trade in the Kyle Dubas era and it's a fairly good one! Hunter does a special 10-15 minute segment with Nick Brlansky breaking down the trade and how it's a good fit for the Penguins while also realizing that this means Jason Zucker is gone. The two discuss how the Penguins got him for virtually Teddy Blueger and how there seems to be a plan in place from the front office, which is something we haven't said that much as of late. They also analyze why Smith's age isn't really a concern, especially since his term is just two seasons. Zucker wanted more, which is why this move was made. They also look at what Dubas could be cooking up next before wrapping up. Hunter will have more on this deal in a full episode of Locked On Penguins later tonight!

Gabe Foley joins the show for a FULL Penguins draft preview!

It's the day before the NHL Draft and things are already starting to happen. Hunter starts the show by congratulating Kris Letang on winning the Masterton before diving into his NHL Draft preview alongside Gabe Foley, who does North American scouting for Recruitscouting.com. It's Gabe's first time on the show and they go over all the players on Hunter's big board, starting with Zach Benson. Is there a chance that he slides all the way down to No. 14? How soon could he reach the NHL? They discuss his game before moving to Quentin Musty and Nate Danielson as those are two other players on Hunter's boards. Hunter explains why he's a lot higher on Musty than some others are while Gabe convinces Hunter more about Danielson as a two-way center. They also discuss Gabe Perreault and why he'd also be one heck of a selection for the Penguins at No. 14 before gushing over Oliver Moore and his skating. They also analyze a few other players on Hunter's board, including Brayden Yager before Gabe discusses a few other players that the Penguins could consider with the No. 14 pick.

The Penguins have made another STRONG front office hire!

It's about to be a wild week, my friends. Hunter starts the show with some Penguins front office news as the Penguins have hired Vukie Mpofu to be their Director of Hockey Operations and Legal Affairs. Hunter dives into what he did during his time in Los Angeles and Vegas before detailing what his role will be with the Penguins. He then looks at how Mpofu's fingerprints are all over LA's salary cap situation since they hardly have any actual bad deals. Hunter also stresses that the Penguins have failed to properly replace Jason Botterill since he left, so this could be the hire that finally does that. He then analyzes why Dubas is building a younger front office before wondering what this means for Brandon Pridham since he has similar duties. After that, Hunter gives his picks for the NHL Awards, which will take place on Monday night before ending the show with some trade season talk. He even gives a bold prediction as to what Dubas' first trade will be during that segment and whether it will come this week. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Penguins have made another STRONG front office hire!

It's about to be a wild week, my friends. Hunter starts the show with some Penguins front office news as the Penguins have hired Vukie Mpofu to be their Director of Hockey Operations and Legal Affairs. Hunter dives into what he did during his time in Los Angeles and Vegas before detailing what his role will be with the Penguins. He then looks at how Mpofu's fingerprints are all over LA's salary cap situation since they hardly have any actual bad deals. Hunter also stresses that the Penguins have failed to properly replace Jason Botterill since he left, so this could be the hire that finally does that. He then analyzes why Dubas is building a younger front office before wondering what this means for Brandon Pridham since he has similar duties. After that, Hunter gives his picks for the NHL Awards, which will take place on Monday night before ending the show with some trade season talk. He even gives a bold prediction as to what Dubas' first trade will be during that segment and whether it will come this week.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!AG1If a comprehensive solution is what you need from your supplement routine, then try AG1 and get a FREE 1-year supply of Vitamin D AND 5 free AG1 Travel Packs with your first purchase.

What are some of Kyle Dubas' trade/free agency plans?

Hunter wraps up another week of content with Kyle Dubas speaking to the media for the first time since his introductory press conference three weeks ago. Hunter goes into his three major takeaways from the presser, starting with Dubas' talk about buyouts. Is he leaning toward using one with Mikael Granlund? If he isn't, is he looking to potentially deal him in a trade? Hunter reacts to what Dubas said and gives his opinion and analysis on what he could be thinking when it comes to this player. He also looks at how teams in general can't stand buyouts since they're paying a player to not play for them well past their contract expires. After that, Hunter discusses what Dubas said about trades/free agency and gives a few names of players that he could go after as cheap depth signings since Dubas isn't interested in the big-ticket players. He then looks at a few players on some cap-strapped teams that Dubas may go after if those teams are looking to shed salary. Does Taylor Hall from the Boston Bruins make sense? What about Conor Garland? Finally, Hunter looks at why Dubas seems very insistent on keeping the No. 14 overall pick and why it doesn't mean that the team is "rebuilding" as some fans are saying.

What does the future hold for Penguins defenseman Ty Smith?

The Pittsburgh Penguins will have some interesting decisions to make on defense this offseason and that includes Ty Smith. Hunter looks at what Ty Smith did down in Wilkes Barre this past season and how he seemed to be too good for the AHL. He also discusses what stood out about him in the nine games that he played with the team this past season and how he can make the team out of camp and in the preseason. He also looks at how the Penguins can get him to improve defensively, even though he's more known for his offense. Also: Could the Penguins have a competition coming between Smith and PO Joseph if Dubas acquires a top 4 left-shot defenseman? He dives into that before analyzing Joonas Korpisalo and why he could be a strong free-agent fit for the Penguins. He discusses howKorpisalo really saved his career this season with how good his numbers were before looking at how this would be a classic Kyle Dubas move for an undervalued goaltender. He looks at what he is projected to get on the free agent market (and it's not that much) and how he could work in a platoon role for whoever else the team has behind him. Finally, he ends the show with a silly season trade idea for Erik Karlsson. Do the Penguins have the assets to make a deal? How much fun would he and Letang be to watch? All of that, plus much more, is on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Could Ryan Graves be a fit for the Penguins?

It's the first day of Summer and yes, things will REALLY start heating up soon. Hunter starts the show off by discussing Ryan Graves and how he could be a fit with the Penguins in free agency. Hunter dives into his numbers from this past season and how they would've stacked up against other Penguins defensemen outside of Kris Letang. he also analyzes what he saw from Graves in the film room, whether it was being patient at the blue line, being a bit more physical in the defensive zone, or burying chances when he gets time and space to line up a shot. Hunter also looks at what type of contract he would be asking for since Vladislav Gavrikov just got paid in a big way by the Los Angeles Kings. Would Kyle Dubas want to spend that money? After that, Hunter looks at who his dream selection would be at No. 14 overall. He analyzes his play and how he'd be the best Penguins prospect since they drafted Derrick Pouliot (yes, he knows how that panned out). Finally, Hunter ends the show by congratulating Tom Barrasso on finally getting into the Hockey Hall of Fame while also slamming the HOF for not inducting Alexander Mogilny.

Is there a path for Valtteri Puustinen to make the team out of training camp?

Kyle Dubas has officially made his first roster move as Penguins President of Hockey Operations and even though it's a small one, it still matters. He signed Valtteri Puustinen to a one-year deal on Tuesday as he was expected to be one of the team's RFAs. Hunter looks at how he's been the best player on a really bad WBS team and how he's at least going to be one of the first call-ups when the Penguins inevitably have their first swath of injuries. Hunter also analyzes what his chances are of making the team out of training camp considering there may not be a lot of spots up for grabs if Dubas fills out the forward depth like he intends to. Also: What is his ceiling? Hunter looks at that before moving on to another UFA d-man target in Shayne Gostisbehere. He dives into the numbers that he put up when he reached Carolina and how he got back to basics while playing in their system. He then analyzes what the Penguins would be getting from him before discussing what type of partner he needs to play with. Also: Do the Penguins need more offense from their backend? Hunter tackles that question before ending the show with a discussion about Oliver Ekman-Larsson and if the Penguins could take a cheap flier on him. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Hunter tackles that question before ending the show with a discussion about Oliver Ekman-Larsson and if the Penguins could take a cheap flier on him.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BirddogsGo to birddogs.com/lockedonnhl and they’ll throw in a free custom birddogs Yeti-style tumbler with every order.GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHL for $20 off your first purchase.eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

What lessons can the Penguins learn from the Golden Knights?

It's Monday, so that means it's time for another episode of Locked On Penguins. For this one, Hunter is joined by Chris Mack of Fifth Avenue Faceoff and 93.7 The Fan to talk all things Penguins. They first discuss what the penguins can take away from the Golden Knights winning the Stanley Cup this past year, especially when it comes to their blue line. Chris also brings up a good point about their forward depth before the conversation shifts to if the team can learn anything from the Panthers' run to the Stanley Cup Final. After that, Chris gives his take on what he would do with the No. 14 overall pick and if that differs from what Hunter thinks the team should do. They even have a discussion on how many total changes the backend needs, including if PO Joseph is ready for full-time second pairing minutes. Chris then gives his thoughts on what he wants some of the bottom six to look like before the two end the show with a discussion about how much "youth" this team needs going forward.

Will the Penguins make more trades or free agent signings with Nick Brlansky and Nick Horwat!

We're only two weeks out (basically) from the start of free agency and that means it's about to get super busy. Yes, the 2023 NHL Draft is almost here, too. Hunter starts the show by welcoming the Tip of the Ice-Burgh boys as they discuss what the Penguins should do with the No. 14 overall pick. Should they just keep it? Should they attach Mikael Granlund to it and move down in the draft? What about putting it in a big trade package for a big-time player? They look into all of those options and discuss which is the best for the team. They also look at whether there will be more moves via trade than free agency since the class is super bad this year. Could there also be a solid mix? All 3 look at that as well before Hunter gets their thoughts on which player Dubas could go after during the offseason. They then discuss who else Kyle Dubas could be bringing aboard for his front office and if anyone is going to come in from other teams, plus can this team pull a Vegas and get back to being a contender only a year after missing the playoffs? All of that, plus much more is on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Do the Penguins need another "star" player, plus so much more with The Athletic's Rob Rossi!

We're almost to the end of another work week! Hunter is joined by The Athletic's Rob Rossi for the first time since around the trade deadline to discuss all things related to the Pittsburgh Penguins, starting with the Jason Spezza hire. Rob gives his immediate thoughts on the move and looks at the ways in which he will help the organization. He then looks at how Dubas may structure the front office if he doesn't decide to hire a new general manager in July or August. After that, the two discuss what Kyle Dubas' first move will be (and should be) before they look at how much of a say Mike Sullivan should have in roster decisions. They also look at the latest Jason Zucker contract projection and if Rob would sign him to a long-term deal, plus has Kyle Dubas started contract talks with him and his agent? Also: Do the Penguins need another true "star" to compete? They get into that, along with how Dubas could fill out the bottom six.

What does the Jason Spezza hire mean for the Penguins?

Well, the Pittsburgh Penguins have FINALLY made another front-office hire! Hunter starts the show with breaking news as the Penguins have hired Jason Spezza to be an assistant general manager. He will report directly to Kyle Dubas and Hunter is ALL for it. He looks at what this means for the future of the FO and what type of FO Dubas is looking for before getting to whether Jason Spezza will be groomed for the GM role or not. He even discusses whether Dubas will even hire a GM or if he will go with a bunch of assistants to fill out his FO. Also yes, we need to see Spezza and Sidney Crosby have a chat about what happened in 2010. After that, Hunter looks into the buyout window starting soon and which Penguins will be candidates. Will Dubas buy out Granlund? Could they somehow find a trade partner before then? What about Jeff Carter and his contract? Hunter also throws in a couple of other players who could be candidates for a buyout before wrapping up by congratulating the Vegas Golden Knights on winning the Stanley Cup, especially Phil Kessel :).

What about Pierre Engvall for the Penguins bottom six?

Happy Tuesday! Hunter starts the show with an ode to Stan Stavran, who is one of the best to ever do it in Pittsburgh sports media history. He is someone that Hunter and so many others looked up to over the last several years and he will be missed by so many. After that, Hunter discusses why Pierre Engvall would be a GREAT fit for the Penguins' bottom six after the couple of seasons he's had. He looks at the numbers and what he's seen from him on film before he discusses how Kyle Dubas has been with him for each of the last four seasons. That alone makes him a prime target to be signed but he also would take the pressure off the big guns at times, especially since he's still a young enough player. After that, Hunter looks at Mark Friedman's season in review and why he's a perfect No. 7 defenseman for the team. His underlyings continue to be solid while he also provides a little bit of a troll/physical element, which everyone loves. He can also provide some offense at times, which is nice for an extra defenseman. Finally, Hunter ends the show with a preview of Game 5 and how the Vegas Golden Knights can win Lord Stanley's Cup.

Why the Penguins DO have the assets to pull off a big trade or two!

Happy June 12th to all who celebrate! Before Hunter gets into how special of a day that is, he first discusses why the Penguins do have the assets required to go out and get a piece or two. He argues that players rarely go for a big asking price unless you're Matthew Tkachuk or someone like that. He brings up previous examples of goalies, including how Filip Gustavsson went to Minnesota for Cam Talbot. Look at the year he had! He also brings up the Darcy Kuemper deal and the Phillip Grubauer deal as ones that weren't that expensive when they were made before looking at how Jacob Chychrun went for magic beans during this year's trade deadline. Kyle Dubas will get to make at least one big trade, bet on that. Following that, he reviews Chad Ruhwedel's season and how it was a bit of a step in the wrong direction for him. He discusses why he took too many ill-advised penalties late in the regular season and why part of his struggles could be due to not playing as often. He then gives his prediction on if he'll be better for next season before wrapping up with some stories about the two Stanley Cups that were won on this day. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Jesse Marshall returns for A LOT of Penguins offseason content!

It's been a semi-busy offseason for the Pittsburgh Penguins and it's about to get even busier with the NHL Draft and free agency on the horizon. With that in mind, Hunter decided to bring on Jesse Marshall from The Athletic to preview these next few weeks. Before that though, they discuss Kyle Dubas and whether it was the right move to give him a seven-year term. They also look at who some of the candidates could be to be the GM under Dubas while also wondering if Dubas would ever give up some of his power to the GM at some point. After that, the two look at the latest news surrounding Tristan Jarry, and Jesse gives his take on whether he will be returning for next season. He even gives his prediction on which route Dubas will go for getting a starting goaltender. They also discuss changes to the backend and how many there could be before Jesse gives a bold prediction about a trade this offseason. The two even analyze whether Dubas could trade down from the No. 14 pick if it meant getting out of Mikael Granlund's contract for the next two years. All that, plus much more, is on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Could the Penguins turn to the Jets for a forward splash?

The Pittsburgh Penguins may make a splash in their top six for this upcoming season and it could be from the Winnipeg Jets. Hunter starts the show by looking at a top forward on their team and how he could get traded since he only has one year left on his contract. Hunter analyzes how he could work at wing in the top six or at center for the third line since he's played both positions throughout his career. He then discusses what the price to acquire him could look like and if Kyle Dubas could get the Jets to retain any salary in the deal. After that, he analyzes a defensive trade target from the Boston Bruins. Hint: he plays on the left side! Hunter provides some info on just how good of a season he had and while the Bruins may not want to trade him, they may have to since they have a cap crunch coming. Finally, he looks at Cole Caufield's extension and how that could play into how much Jake Guentzel asks for in his pending contract talks with the team. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

All about the goalies: Who is the BEST option for next season?

It's time to look at the goalies! Hunter starts the episode by breaking down the goaltenders who are set to hit the free-agent market, including Tristan Jarry. He breaks Jarry down, including a report that surfaced Wednesday morning when it came to the term that he was looking for. Is he worth that? Hunter tries his best to answer that before moving to other options, including Adin Hill and Frederik Anderson. Who is the best of those two options? What about Varlamov? Jonathan Quick? After that, Hunter turns his attention to the trade market and who Kyle Dubas could be going after since some good goalies are expected to be traded. Is Connor Hellebuyck the top option? If you can't get him, who should be the next best available choice? Finally, which goalie does Hunter want above all else this offseason? He then ends the show by discussing the latest on Todd Reirden as he looks to be a finalist for the Calgary Flames coaching job. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Which teams could Kyle Dubas look to trade with this offseason?

Kyle Dubas has made a lot of trades throughout his NHL career, but which teams has he traded with the most? Thanks to a listener, Hunter went through and counted all of the trades that Dubas made when he ran the Toronto Maple Leafs and what that could mean now that he's the President of Hockey Ops. Hunter goes through the top two teams that he's traded with the most and sees if there's a path for that number to go up this offseason. He then looks at some of the other teams that came in just below the top two. Is there a path to trading with the Calgary Flames? What about the Vancouver Canucks? After that, Hunter ponders whether Dubas will be super aggressive this offseason after James Mirtle had an interesting report in his most recent story about Dubas. Now that he has total control, will he finally be able to do things that he couldn't do under Brendan Shanahan? Hunter also wonders how many players are available this offseason outside of the core since the group around them could use a big "WHOA" heading into next season. He even uses this, along with Dubas' trade history, to speculate what he might do at the goaltender position for this summer. Finally, he ends the show by discussing the Stanley Cup Final and how the Golden Knights have taken complete control of the series. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Should the Penguins trade for Alex DeBrincat?

Happy Monday! Hunter is back after a wedding weekend and first discusses the first firings that Kyle Dubas made when he became President of Hockey Operations. He looks at the three people that were let go and if Hunter was surprised by any of them not being there. After that, he gets confused as to why people are criticizing Dubas for coming into Pittsburgh and making quick changes since there were always going to be changes at some point. After all, he does have to bring in his own people, right? What's the difference if it's now vs a week or two from now? Following that, Hunter debunks the thought that there's a "rivalry" brewing between the Maple Leafs and the Penguins before pondering a thought about which team the Penguins may want to copy regarding the front office structure. Finally, he ends the show with some Alex DeBrincat content and discusses whether the Penguins should give the Senators a call about the speedy winger. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Pittsburgh Penguins got their guy in Kyle Dubas! Now the fun begins...

The Pittsburgh Penguins have done the thing! They have hired Kyle Dubas to be their President of Hockey Operations and they got the guy they wanted right from the start! For this episode, Hunter is joined by Doug Glattke of Penguins Twitter and Forechecking TV to discuss the crazy Thursday for the Penguins. They first get into their overall thoughts about the hire before diving into how he knocked it out of the park with the press conference. They analyze how Dubas seems to actually have a plan for the short and long-term future of this franchise while also looking at how Mike Sullivan is easily staying on as head coach. After that, the two discuss GM candidates and how Dubas is looking for someone "progressive." Who could that be? The two give a list of names that Dubas could look to interview and whether Jason Spezza will be coming before ending the show with what Dubas' first priorities should be. All that, plus much more, is on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

How much longer will this Penguins GM process drag on for?

The Pittsburgh Penguins still do not have a general manager and honestly, that's okay...for now. Hunter goes over the latest news and rumors surrounding the search before discussing why it was likely so quiet on Wednesday. Hunter gives a couple of theories as to what could be going on behind the scenes before looking at when the Penguins' deadline would be for Kyle Dubas since they are going to need to know sooner rather than later. He then pivots to why FSG has to get this one right and how rushing into something got the Penguins Ron Hextall last time (yes, it was a different regime, but still). After that, he reviews Casey DeSmith's season and why it was a total rollercoaster. He looks at how his numbers went down because he played too much and how he could never get going when it looked like the starting job was there for the taking. Will he be back next season? Hunter answers that before ending the show with a free-agent target for the Penguins as they badly need a new third-line center. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

This speculation is going to make me EXPLODE...

My god, can this just be done already? Hunter starts today's episode with ANOTHER update on Kyle Dubas as it seems like this saga won't end. He first examines the facts of what we definitely know before looking at some of the speculations, including what Mark Madden reported during his show on Tuesday. Is he reputable? Why hasn't anyone confirmed the report? He then discusses what Frank Seravalli said on a Sportsnet radio station and how he's purely guessing when it comes to FSG and them potentially looking at other candidates. Again, if Dubas was out, wouldn't we know by now? He then looks at the rumors surrounding Eddie Olzyck and how he could be team president if everything goes according to plan. Hunter gives his thoughts on why it wouldn't be a terrible move as long as Eddie has no say in hockey-related decisions. Finally, he previews the Stanley Cup Final and gives his prediction on who will win. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

If it's not Kyle Dubas, who will take the Penguins' GM job?

Happy Friday! I know, the GM search is still ongoing but that's okay! To start the show, Hunter dives into Mathieu Darche and how he may take the job of Kyle Dubas and decides to not take the Penguins' offer. Hunter dives into Darche's history when it comes to the sport, including his playing career and how he sat in during labor talks in 2012. He then looks at how he got hired by the Tampa Bay Lightning and what his main roles have been with the organization. He discusses how he's been a big hand in getting the Lightning under the salary cap and how he's done with helping Julien Brisebois with contract negotiations. His work there alone should be enough for him to get the gig. He then dives into the latest with Kyle Dubas and when an announcement on his decision will be coming. Do the Penguins have a target date for it? What is the decision coming down to? He also discusses why it's perfectly fine for him to take the long weekend to discuss with his family since this is such a major decision. Hunter gives his prediction for what the answer will be before ending the show with Tristan Jarry's season in review. Will he come back next season? Heck, did he show enough to come back next season? If they decide to negotiate a deal with him, what does that look like? All that, plus much more is on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

My pitch for Kyle Dubas to run the Penguins...

Still no decision from Kyle Dubas yet but it's coming! To start the show, Hunter does a new segment where he pretends to be the Fenway Sports Group and tries to convince Kyle Dubas why he should accept the GM position. He goes into quite a few good points, including how he already has most of the tough pieces in place and will have unlimited power to do whatever he wants. Hunter then looks at when a decision could come and what the main holdup seems to be before evaluating PO Joseph's season. He looks at the positives and negatives and what he needs to work on heading into next season since this was his first full NHL season. He looks at what his ceiling is for the league and how he could take another step offensively if he gets more PP time for next season. Finally, he congratulates the Florida Panthers on getting to the Stanley Cup Final and why he wishes the Penguins could clone Matthew Tkachuk and put a bunch of Tkachuks on the team.

My pitch for Kyle Dubas to run the Penguins...

Still no decision from Kyle Dubas yet but it's coming! To start the show, Hunter does a new segment where he pretends to be the Fenway Sports Group and tries to convince Kyle Dubas why he should accept the GM position. He goes into quite a few good points, including how he already has most of the tough pieces in place and will have unlimited power to do whatever he wants. Hunter then looks at when a decision could come and what the main holdup seems to be before evaluating PO Joseph's season. He looks at the positives and negatives and what he needs to work on heading into next season since this was his first full NHL season. He looks at what his ceiling is for the league and how he could take another step offensively if he gets more PP time for next season. Finally, he congratulates the Florida Panthers on getting to the Stanley Cup Final and why he wishes the Penguins could clone Matthew Tkachuk and put a bunch of Tkachuks on the team.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BirddogsGo to birddogs.com/lockedonnhl and when you enter promo code, LOCKEDONNHL, they’ll throw in a free custom birddogs Yeti-style tumbler with every order.GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHL for $20 off your first purchase.ebay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Will Kyle Dubas accept the Penguins GM job?

We're likely one day closer to Kyle Dubas deciding if he wants to take the GM job in Pittsburgh and Hunter has the latest for you to start the show. He dives into Taylor Haase's report about Dubas being in town and meeting with Sidney Crosby as that's a big deal. Hunter points out that Dubas likely wouldn't be doing that if he wasn't serious about the gig. He then looks at how Dubas is likely interviewing the Penguins as much as they are interviewing him since he wants to see if this is a good fit for him. What's the main driving force behind the decision? Hunter answers that question (no, it's not money) before giving a prediction as to whether he takes the job or not. After that, he dives into Rob Rossi and Josh Yohe's bombshell article that dropped on Wednesday as the last regime continues to look awful. Hunter gives his main takeaways from it before moving on to Jan Rutta's season in review and why the next regime might look to deal him this summer since he didn't live up to expectations this past season.

The GM Search continues its twists and turns!

The GM search continues to get even crazier as the updates come in virtually every hour. Hunter catches the audience up with the latest on the search as it seems to be a two-horse race right now. He looks at where things stand with Kyle Dubas and who would likely get the gig if Dubas decides he doesn't want to get back into it so quickly. He then discusses how Eric Tulsky is out of it before jumping to some contract projections from Daily Faceoff. What is Jarry's? Can the Penguins afford to pay for it? What about Zucker's? Are there any free agent options on there who can fully replace them? Finally, he ends the show with some playoff talk and how the Florida Panthers continue to be the team of destiny around the league. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Who is the new general manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins gonna be, with Josh Yohe!

Happy Monday, and this could be a MASSIVE week for the Pittsburgh Penguins organization. Hunter is joined by Josh Yohe of The Athletic to discuss everything regarding the Penguins and their GM search. They start with the new rumors surrounding Kyle Dubas and whether he is a legit candidate. Is he fired up about what happened in Toronto? Would he say yes to Pittsburgh? After that, Hunter goes over Eric Tulsky and if he should be considered the favorite for the gig before they discuss some of the other finalists. They then analyze the Jason Botterill situation and why it seems to be a very murky one considering that nobody knows how serious it is. They also discuss John Chayka and if he's a candidate, plus end on the "hockey men" and if any of those people are still in it. After that, Hunter gets Josh's thoughts on what the team should do with the No. 14 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft before asking Josh to predict who gets the gig. All of that, plus if the Penguins will hire more than one person for their front office, is on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Yes, we're talking about Kyle Dubas AGAIN for a Penguins job...

It has been a CRAZY 24 hours around the NHL and that continued on Friday when the Toronto Maple Leafs fired Kyle Dubas. Hunter dives into why that press conference was SO awkward and why it looks like Dubas got shafted by Brendan Shanahan. He then discusses what this means for the Pittsburgh Penguins and if they will at least try to call him for a job (President of Hockey Operations, perhaps?) Hunter then ponders if he will take some time off after what he said on Monday about how he was absolutely gassed this season. After that, Hunter analyzes that amazing Game 1 on Thursday night between the Carolina Hurricanes and Florida Panthers. He loved how great the game was even when players were obviously tiring and especially loved how the game-winning goal was purely skilled and not just an ugly goal that's a lucky bounce. Finally, he analyzes Brian Dumoulin's season and why it's highly unlikely that he comes back for another season. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Will the Penguins get what they acquired in Jeff Petry next season?

More GM smoke! Hunter continues to be blown away by all of the info that is now coming out about the GM search and that's where he starts today's episode! He discusses a few main points about what Elliotte Friedman talked about in the latest episode of 32 Thoughts, one of which is about John Chayka. Is he the favorite to get at least one of the positions in the front office? With the way Elliotte was talking about him, it seems fairly obvious that the Penguins are very much considering him for a role, whether it's for GM or President of Hockey Ops. He also looks at how the team is beginning Phase II and some of the names that Friedman dropped. Is Eric Tulsky still in it? What about Mathieu Darche? Hunter gives his thoughts on the rumored names who are getting in-person interviews before finally giving a prediction on what the front office will look like once the hires are done. After that, he reviews Jeff Petry's season and why he didn't live up to the expectations of a No. 2 right-shot defenseman. Is there hope that he can be a bit better next season?

Will the Penguins get what they acquired in Jeff Petry next season?

More GM smoke! Hunter continues to be blown away by all of the info that is now coming out about the GM search and that's where he starts today's episode! He discusses a few main points about what Elliotte Friedman talked about in the latest episode of 32 Thoughts, one of which is about John Chayka. Is he the favorite to get at least one of the positions in the front office? With the way Elliotte was talking about him, it seems fairly obvious that the Penguins are very much considering him for a role, whether it's for GM or President of Hockey Ops. He also looks at how the team is beginning Phase II and some of the names that Friedman dropped. Is Eric Tulsky still in it? What about Mathieu Darche? Hunter gives his thoughts on the rumored names who are getting in-person interviews before finally giving a prediction on what the front office will look like once the hires are done. After that, he reviews Jeff Petry's season and why he didn't live up to the expectations of a No. 2 right-shot defenseman. Is there hope that he can be a bit better next season? Should the Penguins consider trading him? Hunter dives into all of that before ending the show with some news surrounding Mike Vellucci and a feel-good story about Sidney Crosby.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BirddogsGo to birddogs.com/lockedonnhl and when you enter promo code, LOCKEDONNHL, they’ll throw in a free custom birddogs Yeti-style tumbler with every order.Athletic GreensTo make it easy, Athletic Greens is going to give you a FREE 1-year supply of immune-supporting Vitamin D AND 5 FREE travel packs with your first purchase.

Is Jason Botterill really the right guy for the job?

It's a day that ends in "Y" so that means there's more to the GM search! Hunter starts the show by discussing Jason Botterill's candidacy and why he suddenly got a lot of love from two separate media outlets. He looks at the pros and cons of Botterill's case to be the GM and analyzes why he wouldn't be at the top of his list. However, he gives a couple of reasons why it can work since he definitely wouldn't be the worst choice out there. After that, he dives into Pierre Lebrun's latest rumblings and looks at a few new names he dropped in his article that got Zoom interviews with Fenway Sports Group. Who will likely get a second interview with FSG? Is the search likely to end in the next couple of weeks? Finally, he does a Western Conference and Eastern Conference FInal preview and gives his predictions as to who will play in the Stanley Cup Final in just a couple of weeks.

Are the Penguins getting closer to finishing this GM search?

It was a busy Monday when it comes to the Pittsburgh Penguins and updates on their GM search. Hunter starts the show by diving into those updates and how the Penguins have finished their first round of interviews. He discusses the latest report from Pierre LeBrun and why it's great seeing Eric Tulsky mentioned for the gig. That said, he does dive into why both Marc Bergevin and Peter Chiarelli should not be GMs again in this league since they didn't do much of anything in their last stops. Also: What is Hunter's dream Penguins front office based on the latest names? You can find that answer here, too. He then dives into Marcus Pettersson's season in review and why he had his best one yet. He looks at the numbers and what he saw on the ice to assess his play before thinking about what he's going to do next season and beyond. Remember when people wanted to trade him? Finally, he ends the show with some playoff talk as the Vegas Golden Knights took out the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Is it Kyle Dubas time in Pittsburgh?

Happy Toronto Maple Leafs Elimination Day! Hunter starts the show off with a BANG as the GM search in Pittsburgh is about to get VERY interesting. Why? Kyle Dubas has just been eliminated, and there's no guarantee the Maple Leafs will bring him back. Hunter dives into how soon Fenway Sports Group could look to talk to him as they're reportedly already done with their first round of interviews. He looks at how Dubas would be an upgrade over the last regime (Who wouldn't?) before discussing how he still has some faults, as any GM does. He dives into his positives and negatives as a GM while also wondering if FSG would give him total autonomy of the roster. Hunter discusses why that might not be the best idea given some of the mistakes he has made in Toronto and gives his hope of what a front office would look like if Dubas is the hire. After that, he continued the season reviews with Kris Letang and why he still had a good season despite everything he went through. He then analyzes what he expects from him next season before ending the show with some more World Championship and playoff talk. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Should Ryan Poehling be given another chance next season?

There's never a dull day when it comes to the Pittsburgh Penguins. There are ALWAYS things to discuss and Hunter starts the show by going over Ryan Poehling's season in review. He looks at both eh positives and negatives for this game and why at times, he couldn't put it together since he was a bit banged up. That said, Hunter did like his game when he was in the lineup and brings up the stats to support his evidence as to why he would bring him back on a cheap contract. Hunter also discusses what position he should play to start the season and it may be a surprise to some of you. After that, he analyzes a potential Jason Zucker replacement if the team cannot come to terms with him on a new contract. It's one that fans may like a bit more since he has been linked to them several times over the past couple of seasons. Finally, Hunter looks into what Frank Seravalli had to say about Mike Sullivan on Thursday with more details about why he won't be fired and also discusses what to look for from the Penguins who are at the World Championships.

No, Mike Sullivan is NOT going to the Rangers!

More rumors and details have come out about the Pittsburgh Penguins general manager search and that's where Hunter starts for this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast. He dives into Frank Seravalli's report on how the front office is going to have a similar structure to the last one while also looking at a few of the candidates that have reportedly gotten interviews. Hunter is a bit skeptical about most of these names getting to the second round of interviews and he explains why before discussing how Frank is likely getting this information. Hunter also discusses why it's fine for the Penguins to be casting such a wide net since the first round of interviews isn't even over yet. After that, Hunter explains why Mike Sullivan is not going to the New York Rangers. He goes into how Sullivan is involved with the GM search (though he won't have the final say) and how FSG picked him over Hextall at the end of this season. Oh yeah, he also is signed for four more years. Finally, Hunter analyzes the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and why it has been a total dud compared to the first round.

What to do with the No. 14 pick? Plus, a look at a potential Jason Zucker replacement if the Penguins don't sign him!

The NHL Draft Lottery is over and Hunter has much to say about it. He starts with the not-surprising news that the Pittsburgh Penguins got the No. 14 pick before touching on the team's options. Hunter goes over what he would do with the pick if he was the GM but also plays devil's advocate since this class is shaping up to be a damn good one. He then discusses the lottery as a whole and why he feels a bit icky about the Chicago Blackhawks getting the top overall pick. He also feels horrible for the Ducks as this is the second time they have lost a draft lottery this generation. After that, he reviews Josh Archibald's season and why his defensive impacts were substantial but that it didn't translate over offensively. He looks at how he struggled after coming back from his injury and what he would do when it comes to bringing him back or not. Finally, Hunter brings up an interesting candidate to replace Jason Zucker if the Penguins are unable to bring him back. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

How much will social media burn if the Pittsburgh Penguins get a top 5 pick in the draft?

Happy Draft Lottery Day! Isn't it crazy that the Penguins have a small shot at getting a top 5 pick in this year's draft? Hunter starts the show with that as the Penguins will have a great opportunity to land a franchise-caliber player if the odds somehow go in their favor. He brings up the talent that is likely going to go in the top 5 and why they're arguably better than anyone that went in last year's draft. He gives his scouting reports on a few players, namely Leo Carlsson, Matvei Michkov, and Will Smith, and looks at who he would pick if he was the GM if the odds went in their favor. He then goes into how the Penguins should trade the pick if the likeliest scenario happens and they just stay at No. 14 overall. He discusses why it could be valuable to teams that have players they want to give up and how the Penguins could get a young forward, top-four defenseman, or a goaltender if the package that pick with other assets. After that, Hunter reviews Mikael Granlund's season and how he never was fit with this team. He looks at how the Penguins will have no choice but to move on because of his cap hit before ending the show with a discussion about Kyle Dubas and the pros and cons of hiring him if he becomes available.

The Penguins are starting to do some GM interviews!

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Hunter starts the show off by getting into the latest on the GM search from multiple outlets and how the Penguins seem to be starting some interviews. He looks at how Steve Greeley has reportedly been interviewed and how many people the team plans to interview during the first round of interviews. Is the team waiting for anyone's season to end? Hunter also looks at that part since there are only eight teams left and some feature some people that are likely high up on their list. When is the timeframe for this? Hunter gives his best shot at answering that since it's already been three weeks since Chris Pryor, Ron Hextall, and Brian Burke were relieved of their duties. After that, it's time for Danton Heinen's season in review! He discusses why Heinen regressed this season and why he was in Mike Sullivan's doghouse after a career year in 2021-22. He also gives his thoughts on whether the team should re-sign him or go in a different direction before ending the show with more playoff talk. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Is there any way for Jeff Carter to be better for the Penguins next season?

Happy Star Wars Day! In honor of that, Hunter first discusses one of the Empire's most sinister agents...yes, Jeff Carter. Pretty good, no? Huner goes over Carter's season in review as it was an absolute mess. He dives into the numbers and how his counting stats would maybe look OK if he were a fourth-line center for every game but that's not what the Penguins are paying him to be. Hunter looks at how these numbers are probably what you can expect from him again next season unless he gets even more washed. He also pleads for Mike Sullivan to stop using him in high-leverage situations since Carter is not cut out for that. He's not Patrice Bergeron or Anze Kopitar and never has been! Hunter also argues that the Penguins need a true third-line center for next season and beyond since Carter can't handle those duties anymore, either. After that, Hunter looks at some players who could bounce back for the Penguins next season even though the list isn't very long. Finally, he discusses another option in goal that the team could look at, especially if he comes out of the players' assistance program like Jakub Vrana did.

Why Drew O'Connor SHOULD be guaranteed a roster spot for next year!

It's the day before National Star Wars Day and you want to talk Pittsburgh Penguins hockey? Hunter jokes of course, but still, Thursday will be a fun day to celebrate that amazing franchise. Hunter starts the show off by discussing Drew O'Connor's season and why he showed that he belonged. His development has been great to see over the past couple of years and it seems to finally be paying off for him. Hunter dives into the numbers, which are favorable for DOC even though he played limited minutes. He even discusses how he has improved defensively before looking at what contract he should get since he's an RFA for next season. Also: Should he be guaranteed a spot in the bottom six? Hunter answers that before flipping over to what the new GM should do RIGHT WHEN he/she gets the job. Is it a trade? Is it figuring out the coaching staff? Bringing in a quality front office? Signing Jason Zucker? Well, you'll have to tune in to find out! All of that, plus a playoff update is on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The IDEAL contract for Jason Zucker, plus, will Alex Nylander be a regular next season?

The season reviews continue on Tuesday with Jason Zucker. He's the last player in the top six who hasn't gotten one so Hunter had to save the best for last. He looks at how this was his best season in quite some time, especially counting stats-wise. He marvels at how 25 of Zucker's 27 goals came at 5v5, which is no small feat. Only two came on the power play! He discusses how great of a fit he was on Evgeni Malkin's line and why he was always there when the team needed him most. He then looks at Zucker's underlyings and how they matched the eye test in a big way. Finally, Hunter gives his opinion on what a contract for Zucker should look like and what the Penguins should set in terms of a boundary. After that, he goes more in-depth on the re-signing of Alex Nylander and why he's going to be given every shot imaginable to make the team next season. He then discusses a couple of players in WBS making the move overseas before finishing the show with a thought on Monday night's Game 7 and why the Penguins could be in line to make a move on the Rangers next season if they make some major changes.

Danny Shirey returns to the show for ALL the Penguins talk!

It's a new month but the hockey content doesn't stop there. As Promised, Hunter is joined by Danny Shirey for this special episode of Locked On Penguins as they touch on everything regarding the Penguins' offseason. They start with the GM search and if there's any update regarding that since it's been over two weeks since the firings. They then pivot to the goaltending and discuss why Connor Hellebuyck seems like a slam-dunk acquisition for the Penguins if he is made available. They at least have to call, right? Hunter then gets Danny's thoughts on a new LHD for the defense and gets his opinion on whether the Penguins should wait to extend Jake Guentzel. Danny then gives his take on the Jason Zucker conundrum and whether the Penguins should sign him back. They also discuss the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and what caught their eyes before ending the show. All that, plus much more is on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Is Bryan Rust in line for a rebound next season? Plus, another potential goaltender target!

You knew Hunter wasn't going to leave you hanging, right? He starts the show by continuing his season reviews with Bryan Rust and how a lot of it was bad luck. Hunter looks at some stats from Natural Stat Trick and shows that his PP stats were uncharacteristically bad. He also looks at how the process seemed to be there at times but that he wasn't getting rewarded. If you then switch over to his 5v5 numbers, the process was more there but he just couldn't finish. Will that improve in 2023-24? is Hunter concerned about his contract? After that, Hunter discusses another goaltender option for the Penguins after a team got eliminated recently. What would a trade package look like? Is it feasible? Finally, he does another recap of the Stanley Cup Playoffs as these games continue to be so much fun to watch.

Will Jake Guentzel get extended this summer?

Happy Thursday! Well, Friday, but who is counting, right? To start the show, Hunter continues his player season reviews with Jake Guentzel. He discusses how he maybe didn't have the season that some expected him to have but that it was still very good. After all, 36 goals and 73 points is AWESOME for top-line production. He looks at how Guentzel could be better next season on the power play since he didn't have as many PPGs this season compared to last season and also ponders whether the Penguins will start to discuss an extension with him. What does that kind of contract look like? Could the Penguins also listen to trade talks for him if someone comes calling, If he does stay, what kind of expectations does Hunter have for him? After that, he gets into some mailbag questions, including one about Troy Terry and who the Penguins' top rival is right now. Finally, he ends the show with some Stanley Cup playoff talk as we finally have one team who has advanced to the second round. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Which LHD should the Penguins go after this offseason?

Happy Wednesday! The episodes continue as Hunter starts the show with a small update on the GM search. Well, it's an update in the sense that he doubts Marc Bergevin will be considered for the role. Hunter discusses what Elliotte Friedman talked about towards the end of his 32 Thoughts Pod and why it seems like it's just an agent helping out a client. After that, he breaks down Rickard Rakell's season and how he surprised Hunter in numerous ways this year. Hunter eats all the crow as he was against part of the extension due to the term but it quickly went away with how he played. He looks at how Rakell struck gold on any line that he was on and how that will be a big factor heading into next season. He also marvels at how great of a one-timer he has and why the power play should run through him a bit more next season thanks to his shot and his vision from the left half wall. After that, Hunter gives a couple of more moves that he would make if he were the general manager this summer. Which d-men does he have his eyes on? What about forwards for the bottom six? Finally, Hunter breaks down Tuesday night's playoff action and why this first round has been an absolute pleasure to watch. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Evgeni Malkin's season review, plus, what does part of my mock GM Penguins offseason look like?

Happy Tuesday! Hunter starts the show off with a new series: Hunter as Mock GM! Hunter goes through a couple of moves that he would make for this offseason if he were the GM as he's going to continue that for the rest of this week and into next week. What's the first order of business? What goaltender does he really want to go after? He answers both of those questions before pivoting to Evgeni Malkin's season in review. Hunter starts out by feeling relieved that he was able to play the full season before discussing how Geno proved a lot of people wrong. He discusses how his offense is still elite even though his defensive metrics have gone down (that's expected). He also analyzes how Geno isn't just a PP specialist as other people have said he is before discussing what expectations should be for him in 2023-24. Finally, he recaps a crazy Monday of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and what to expect on Tuesday and Wednesday for the games. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Say NO to John Gibson, plus it's time for Penguins season reviews!

Happy Monday! The Stanley Cup Playoffs continue to roll along and so does the Locked On Penguins podcast. Hunter starts Monday's show with rumors about John Gibson that surfaced over the weekend and why it's nothing to worry about since the Penguins don't even have a GM right now. He then discusses why he wouldn't make sense to trade for if the new regime were somehow interested in him. He looks at his contract, along with his numbers, and discusses why he would be a worse option than even Tristan Jarry, who is set to be a free agent when July comes around. He then finishes by giving a potential option that would be much better, (thanks to a YouTube commenter) before going to Sidney Crosby's season review. He looks at how he continues to turn back time and did all he could to carry the Penguins into the playoffs. Will he get top 10 votes for the Hart Trophy? What should expectations for him be next season? Finally, he ends the show with a discussion about how the two wild card series in the East are going as he expected them to (and no, the Penguins would not be doing any better), before discussing the other series.

Jesse Marshall is back for ALL sorts of Penguin talk!

The second episode of Friday is finally here! Hunter is joined by Jesse Marshall to touch on all things Pittsburgh Penguins and they first start with the GM search. Who are Jesse's top options to replace Ron Hextall? Is he high on Kyle Dubas while others are not? What kind of GM does Jesse want running the team moving forward? The two also discuss whether a woman could be joining the front office as the time is almost here for a woman to be the first full-time general manager in NHL history. After that, the two analyze what the Penguins need to do this offseason to be a playoff team again next season. What's at the top of Jesse's list? Does he think the Penguins need to start over in goal? Is buying out Mikael Granlund pretty easy? What would he do about Jeff Petry? He tries to answer all of those questions before the show ends with the two discussing the Stanley Cup Playoffs so far and which series have caught their attention.

The three MAIN reasons for hope for next season!

I know, it's a day late but you guys are getting double trouble on this one. Hunter starts this episode by going into his first main reason for hope and optimism next season and of course, it surrounds the core. Can Sid and Geno play all 82 games next season? If they don't, will they still have strong production? Hunter also discusses why Kris Letang is set to be even better after he went through hell and back this season. He also looks at Rickard Rakell, why his production should stay the same for next season, and why Jake Guentzel will continue to be one of the top goal-scorers in the league. With these players, you always have a shot. In the second segment, he analyzes why a new management staff can't be worse than the last one. Right?! He again discusses who FSG could look at and why the new management staff should have an easier time making harder decisions since they won't have any loyalty to these players. They also can't be worse than Hextall and Co. Finally, Hunter goes into why Mike Sullivan may tinker with his system and why there's no chance the Penguins will blow upwards of 20 leads in the third period. All of that, plus an injury update on Jan Rutta, is on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

All of that, plus an injury update on Jan Rutta, is on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHL for $20 off your first purchase.eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

The three MAIN reasons why this Penguins season went down the drain...

Happy Wednesday! We're still rocking and rolling here and Hunter starts the show by discussing the main reason why the Pittsburgh Penguins just couldn't get it going this season. He looks at how the Jekyll & Hyde aspect was too much to overcome and why it felt like the Penguins would get up for some games but also decide to not fully play in other games. After that, he dives into the finishing problem that the Penguins had and why a good chunk of it comes down to poor roster construction. Even so, he looks at how there was a stark difference between the top six and the rest of the lineup. Hunter pleads for the new management to add more pure finishers to the lineup so that they can take the pressure off the core players next season while also making an argument for the defensive core to be more involved next season. Finally, Hunter looks at why the Penguins could never get a timely save when they needed to from their goalies and why that really doomed them as the season went on. All of that, plus much more is on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

What should the Penguins offseason priorities be?

It's Day Two of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and the Pittsburgh Penguins are still sadly not in it. Sad! Hunter starts the show by going over a few Penguins-centric items from Elliotte Friedman's 32 Thoughts on Monday. He discusses how the Penguins are continuing to discuss building out their analytics department and who they could get from other teams that Elliotte mentions. He also looks at a funny but sad ROn Hextall story that Elliotte wrote about and why the Penguins' front office will need to be more in sync for next season and years to come. What about those JT Miller talks? Hunter provides an update on those courtesy of Friedman and why Hextall actually got it right when it comes to not giving up what Vancouver wanted. Hunter then gives his ideal contract for Jason Zucker before analyzing what the top priorities for this team should be over the next several months. Do they need to totally restart at goalie? Does Kris Letang need a new partner for next season? Hunter also analyzes what the Penguins should do with Mikael Granlund before discussing the bottom six as a whole and why it needs to be revamped. What kinds of players should new management target for those roles? All of that, plus how awesome Monday night was is on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

A Penguins GM Search Update, plus who replaces Brian Dumoulin on the left side?

Happy Monday, or as Hunter says, the first day without Penguins playoff hockey in a long time. Hunter starts the show by going over the latest updates when it comes to the GM search. Is Eric Tulsky an early favorite for the gig? Could the Penguins be looking at some former alumni for the gig? He also touches on the latest rumor regarding Stan Bowman and why the Penguins should stay FAR away from him for multiple reasons. Hunter also isn't sure how much he buys it because it goes against what Fenway Sports Group is likely looking at for this gig. Hunter also looks at Rob Rossi's early list and why that one aligns more with FSG's current thinking based on the comments made during the press conference. After that, Hunter discusses locker room clean-out day and why it was obviously a somber day. He looks at why Kris Letang will be primed for vengeance next season after going through so much off-the-ice stuff this past season. He also analyzes why the Penguins will likely be stuck with Jeff Carter next season based on his comments to Matt Vensel and why they NEED to go after a top-four defenseman to replace Brian Dumoulin, whether it's via a trade or free agency.

BONUS: Pittsburgh Penguins fire Ron Hextall, Brian Burke, and Chris Pryor! What's next?

Hunter has a special treat for Yinz on Friday as the Pittsburgh Penguins cut bait with Ron Hextall, Brian Burke, and Chris Pryor on Friday morning! He looks at how this was a long time coming for the Penguins as they weren't getting the job done at all. He also discusses why the Fenway Sports Group sounded very confident in getting this right and why to maybe not judge a book based on its cover when it comes to their ownership. He also looks at the type of candidate that FSG said it's looking for to run the hockey ops department and why it's likely going to be one that embraces analytics since the team is planning on building an analytics department soon. Finally, Hunter discusses what this means for Mike Sullivan before going over his own shortlist of candidates for the position. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Friday is likely going to be a monumental day for the Penguins...

Well, the regular season is finally over, guys! We did it! To start the show, Hunter dives into a couple of scoops for what to expect on Friday as the Pittsburgh Penguins are about to shake up their front office in a big way. Hunter goes into what he's heard about the Hextall and Burke situations and why Friday will likely be the day they get released. He analyzes why it's been a long time coming and who Fenway Sports Group could be looking at to fill their roles. He also dives into Elliotte Friedman's report about the Penguins wanting to build out their analytics staff and why that's very on-brand for FSG. After that, Hunter recaps the Penguins' 3-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets and how nobody seemed to want to be there. He does paise Kris Letang and Jake Guentzel for their goals as they ended the season on a high note before looking at why they blew their 20th third-period lead of the season. Yes, it means nothing but it's still crazy that this is the case. He discusses how Letang might be even better next season after how much he went through before giving his opinion on what he would do about Tristan Jarry. Finally, Hunter looks at how there could be a lot of on-ice changes coming this season and why this team can still be set up to compete if the right moves are made.

Friday is likely going to be a monumental day for the Penguins...

Well, the regular season is finally over, guys! We did it! To start the show, Hunter dives into a couple of scoops for what to expect on Friday as the Pittsburgh Penguins are about to shake up their front office in a big way. Hunter goes into what he's heard about the Hextall and Burke situations and why Friday will likely be the day they get released. He analyzes why it's been a long time coming and who Fenway Sports Group could be looking at to fill their roles. He also dives into Elliotte Friedman's report about the Penguins wanting to build out their analytics staff and why that's very on-brand for FSG. After that, Hunter recaps the Penguins' 3-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets and how nobody seemed to want to be there. He does paise Kris Letang and Jake Guentzel for their goals as they ended the season on a high note before looking at why they blew their 20th third-period lead of the season. Yes, it means nothing but it's still crazy that this is the case. He discusses how Letang might be even better next season after how much he went through before giving his opinion on what he would do about Tristan Jarry. Finally, Hunter looks at how there could be a lot of on-ice changes coming this season and why this team can still be set up to compete if the right moves are made.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!HelloFreshSkip trips to the grocery store and count on HelloFresh to make home cooking easy, fun, AND affordable – that’s why it’s America’s #1 meal kit! Go to HelloFresh.com/nhl60 and use code nhl60 for 60% off plus free shipping!GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHL for $20 off your first purchase.eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Where do the Penguins go from here?

What in the HECK was that? Hunter starts the show off by being completely stunned at what happened on Tuesday night and why everyone failed to show up, outside of 87 & 71. He goes into how the Penguins played their latest hits yet again in a loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. He slams them for still not being able to finish any of their chances as this has been a theme all season while also discussing why Tristan Jarry can't be this team's starting goaltender for next season. He also looks at how there was no depth scoring yet again as that has plagued them ever since Ron Hextall took over as the general manager. He also sends a message to fans that think that this is "because they brought the band together" as those people can't see the forest for the trees. After that, Hunter analyzes why it's time to fire Hextall as soon as this miserable season comes to an end and how the next GM that comes in is going to have a tough time with the mess that he has left behind. He then brings up Mike Sullivan and questions whether he can survive this, even though he just signed an extension last year (and it hasn't even kicked in yet). Finally, he has the final game preview for the season as the Penguins will take on the Blue Jackets on Thursday night. Will it even matter?

The Penguins just got a GIFT...will they take advantage of it?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are back in the driver's seat! Hunter starts the show by recapping a massive Monday around the NHL as the Penguins are back in control of their playoff destiny with everything to play for., He goes into how the New York Islanders completely no-showed against the Washington Capitals while the Florida Panthers also lost in overtime to the Toronto Maple Leafs. It's all going to come down to...yep, beating the two worst teams in the league! Hunter then previews Tuesday's game against the Chicago Blackhawks, which SHOULD be a gimme game considering how bad the Blackhawks are and how they're going to be playing in this game on virtually no rest. He looks at just how bad their roster is and even compliments them for the tank job that they are pulling off right now for Bedard. Hunter then gives his keys for the Penguins to take care of business before finishing the show with some more good news. Which injured players are likely to come back against the Hawks? Is Drew O'Connor recovering nicely? All of that, plus how it's time to see what this team is made of, is on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

A special wild-card crossover with Gil Martin and Armando Velez: How will this all shake out?

The final week of the regular season is upon us as the Pittsburgh Penguins failed to gain any ground over the weekend. They're still 1 point back of the Islanders and Panthers as they have the most manageable remaining schedule of the three teams. The show starts with Hunter looking at how the Penguins played on Saturday and how they showed that same desperation and urgency while again also admitting that they shouldn't even be in this situation. He also discusses how Tristan Jarry has finally turned it around a bit when the Penguins have needed him to, plus how the core has been the main reason they're even fighting for a playoff spot. After that, the focus shifts to the Islanders as they have an easy schedule for their final two games but anything is possible. Gil touches on how Ilya Sorokin has carried them since Mathew Barzal went down and how the Islanders have gotten back to basics since Lane Lambert is out of the Barry Trotz coaching tree. Finally, the two get Armando's thoughts on the Panthers as they've been riding high and Armando explains how Alex Lyon continues to impress. He also analyzes how the Panthers have been able to rattle off this winning streak while also getting a bit antsy since their next two games are against two very good teams.

Will the desperation and urgency still be there on Saturday?

It's crunch time, baby! Hunter starts the show by previewing Saturday's massive matchup against the Detroit Red Wings as they really do have no room for error right now. They NEED to win out, plus get a little bit of help along the way. Hunter looks at what he wants to see from the Penguins right when the puck is dropped on Saturday afternoon and why the special teams also need to be a lot better than they were a week and a half ago. He especially says it for the PK as it gave up another costly goal late in a game when the Penguins could've used a point. He also focuses on Tristan Jarry and why he will have the chance to start in this game since Casey DeSmith wasn't very good in the previous two meetings against them. He also has a big Crosby guarantee for this one since the Captain has been a little bit off toward the end of the season. After that, Hunter discusses why the Penguins shouldn't even be in this situation right now with how many blown leads they've had this season before ending the show with a couple of injury updates, plus what's the likeliest outcome for help when it comes to the Islanders and the Panthers.

It's all going to come down to the wire for the Penguins!

The Pittsburgh Penguins got a massive win against the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night and Hunter wants to start the show by looking at the urgency and desperation they showed in this game. From the drop of the puck, Hunter sensed that the Penguins knew their season was potentially on the line tonight, and boy, did they play like it. He loves how they came out after they got flattened in Newark on Tuesday and were rewarded with a goal in a dominant first period. Hunter analyzes how Kris Letang could full Marc-Andre Fleury with that shot before the Penguins got rewarded even more in the middle frame thanks to Rickard Rakell's blast. Hunter looks at how it looked like an Alex Ovechkin goal from the left circle as he continues to be stellar for the Penguins. After that, Hunter praises Tristan Jarry for a good performance as the Penguins will need to rely on him in these final three games if they want to extend their playoff streak to 17 seasons. He then analyzes how strong of a game Brian Dumoulin had as he now has a new career-high in points and had a beautiful zone entry that led to a goal. Finally, he discusses why fans SHOULD want this team to get into the playoffs even if it would only be for a week or two. All that, plus much more is on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Does someone want to tell me what the heck that was?

How...how is that the kind of performance that the Pittsburgh Penguins put out with everything on the line? Hunter starts the show trying his best to answer that question as the Penguins no-showed one of their most important games of the season on Tuesday night. They were done for at the drop of the puck as they looked a step slow. Right out of the gate, that was all it took. He discusses how the Devils' speed was giving them fits and why they made poor decisions with the puck whenever they got it. You simply cannot play like that when you're in a playoff race, especially when you have a game in hand on a team in front of you in the standings. After that, Hunter looks at how Hextall's fingerprints continue to be all over this roster with how Mikael Granlund and especially Jeff Petry looked. He analyzes how Petry played some atrocious defense throughout the game and why he made a terrible pinch that led to Dawson Mercer's first goal of the game. He then still wonders what Hextall saw in Granlund as he struggled at both ends of the ice and po0nders at how good this team could be if it actually had depth since the Penguins now have SIX different 20-goal scorers this season. Finally, Hunter looks ahead to the final four games for the Penguins, Islanders, and Panthers, and argues that every game now is a must-win, especially with their schedules.

Everyone ready for these last five Penguins games?

It was a mixed weekend for the Pittsburgh Penguins but in the end, they ended it still in a playoff spot. Hunter starts the show by discussing Kris Letang's legacy and how it was never certain that he would get to 1,000 games. He also discusses his favorite moments that Letang has been a part of in franchise history and why he will go down as the best defenseman in franchise history. He even makes an easy case of why Letang belongs in the Hockey Hall of Fame when it's all said and done due to how underrated he's been throughout his career. After that, Hunter analyzes how the Penguins took down the Flyers and why that was a must-win with everything at stake. He praises Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust for getting the team going after a slow start, plus how Casey DeSmith turned in one of his finest starts of the season when they needed it most. He even praises Mikael Granlund for making a neat play when the game got close late in the third period, which sprung Ryan Poehling for the putaway goal. After that, he quickly discusses the fallout of the Bruins loss and why the Penguins would be in even better shape had they just gotten a point out of that game. He looks at where it all went wrong and ponders the thought of some changes to the assistant coaches if the special teams continue to be this bad. Finally, Hunter previews what's to come this week as it's about to get very stressful in this city. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Why can't the Penguins play like this all the time?

The Pittsburgh Penguins FINALLY got a shutout win on Thursday night as they made it look easy against the Nashville Predators. To start the show, Hunter touches on how the Penguins defended at a very high level and why they needed to show that they can win games like this during this time of year. It doesn't matter who the opponent is. If you can't win a close game like this, even when you're outplaying the other team, then you won't go far in the playoffs. Hunter analyzes how the Penguins' breakouts were super crisp and why outside of a couple of unfortunate bounces, they were able to get the puck back with ease in the defensive zone. After that, he praises both Jason Zucker and Jake Guentzel for their goals as they continue to stay hot as the season winds down. Hunter even compliments Brian Dumoulin for one heck of a curl & drag move that he made to set up Zucker's goal. He then looks at how Tristan Jarry was stellar in the net and why they will need him to play like that in most of their final games if they want to make the dance yet again. Finally, Hunter ends the show with a look ahead to this weekend as it has the potential to be quite the spectacle at PPG Paints Arena. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

How can the Penguins get back on track against the Predators?

The Pittsburgh Penguins have another big one on tap on Thursday against the Nashville Predators and Hunter starts the show by previewing that matchup. He discusses how the Predators are severely banged up going into this game and why the Penguins can't afford to leave points off the table against a team that doesn't have any of their top forwards playing. He gives a few keys for the Penguins to bounce back before discussing Mikael Granlund and why he's kinda just...been there through his first 13 games as a Penguin. He analyzes why he isn't a good fit for the Penguins after passing on numerous prime scoring chances on Tuesday night and why he needs to be shooting a lot more. He also looks at why the criticism shouldn't be directed at him but should be at the GM for adding a pass-first player to a team that has very few finishers. Finally, Hunter discusses what the Penguins should do in goal for the game against the Predators, plus why their top priority should be trying to get a very good goaltender at the end of this season, especially if they don't trust Jarry.

Why do the Penguins continually STINK in late-game situations?

Another tied game late in the third period and another regulation loss! It's been a theme for the Pittsburgh Penguins over the last week and change, and it came up again on Tuesday night. Hunter starts the show by touching on the turning point, and yes, it's Rust's late penalty. He analyzes why there was no reason for him to even high-stick Seider in that situation and harps on the team for continuing not to play good situational hockey. He even goes back to last week when the same thing happened against the Dallas Stars and the Ottawa Senators and the Penguins didn't come away with any points. Where would they be if they had gotten at least a point in those games and this one? He then slams the team for another poor start in a game that is very important before discussing why Casey DeSmith wasn't good enough when they needed him to be. He also goes into the power play and why both units provided a spark and also discusses why Drew O'Connor has been the secret ingredient to getting the fourth line going over the past week.

Evgeni Malkin became the hero when the Penguins needed it most!

This team can never win a game the easy way, huh? Hunter starts this episode with an ode to Evgeni Malkin as he delivered one of the goals of the season for the Pittsburgh Penguins. He analyzes how it was vintage Malkin when he wanted the puck at the end of the game and then made no mistake with it when he fired it blocker side. Hunter also looks at how terrible of a giveaway it was from Anthony Mantha and why you can't do that when an all-time great is on the ice. Hunter then touches on how loud PPG was since he was there to see it and why this felt like a playoff atmosphere for the first time all season. After that, Hunter brings up the depth scoring and why it came up super clutch on the first two goals since the big guns weren't able to finish their chances...yet. He praises Ryan Poehling for being one of the team's best depth players while also wondering where in the heck that version of Chad Ruhwedel has been all season. Hunter then brings up Jake Guentzel and why he continues to have a very underappreciated season before wondering why this team cannot hold a lead. Is it because they get too tight? Do they want to run and gun throughout every game? Finally, he discusses why this win was so big standings-wise before previewing what's to come on Tuesday when the Penguins play the Detroit Red Wings. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Keep playing just like that and the Penguins will get in...

The Pittsburgh Penguins deserved a much better fate on Thursday night. Hunter starts the show by discussing everything they did well and how their faults were on display for everyone to see. He looks at how they controlled the game at 5v5 but again lost the goaltending matchup (even though Casey DeSmith was perfectly fine). He even discusses how the process has been there for most of the games during the second half of the season but gives reasons why the results haven't. He then explains why the Penguins will likely get those results if they continue to play that way in these final 10 games. After that, Hunter goes into just how bad the finishing has been this season and why it comes down to poor roster decisions more than anything else. He analyzes how the Penguins were higher up in finishing when they had pure finishers in the bottom six and discusses how Ron Hextall has completely gone away from those players in his last two offseasons. Finally, Hunter discusses Tristan Jarry's latest injury and if he'll be back this season while previewing Saturday night's MASSIVE matchup against the Washington Capitals.

This team continues to be SO MADDENING...

Where in the HECK did that come from? Hunter thinks it HAS TO be that he saw Steel Panthers as the Pittsburgh Penguins ROLLED the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday night. He first discusses Sidney Crosby and how he's doing vintage things well into his 30s. He analyzes how Sid was able to take Sam Girard's lunch money with that move and why the Captain has the best backhand in the sport. He also discusses how Crosby put the team on his back in that game and showed everyone why they're not dead...at least not yet. After that, Hunter compliments Jeff Carter...yes, you read that right. He analyzes how he played his finest game of the year and ponders if there's a small chance that it could be a sign of things to come. He also shouts out Tristan Jarry for his best performance since returning and praises Drew O'Connor for his continued excellence in the bottom six. After that, Hunter does a small preview of the game against the Dallas Stars and how the Penguins can shock the world against them as the injuries seem to be mounting.

Previewing Pens-Avs, plus, is FSG actually paying attention?

It's an off day but it's one of the busiest times of the season so there's ALWAYS content to pump out. Hunter starts the show by previewing Wednesday night's massive game against the Colorado Avalanche as most of these remaining 12 games fall into the "must-win" category for the Penguins. He gives his keys on how the Penguins can break their losing streak and why the finishing needs to be a lot better than it has been during the last couple of seasons. He even succumbs to the fact that there will likely be no line changes despite this team going on another losing streak. After that, he analyzes why Fenway Sports Group HAS TO be paying attention and if any representatives from the ownership group have been at the games. He also discusses why it might not be the end of the world to have an ownership group that is a little bit hands-off but why it should still be expected for major changes to happen if this thing continues to go south. Hunter then ponders who would speak at a press conference if the front office is cleaned out before ending the show with a discussion about why this team can still be really good in the future if the right moves are made with a new regime.

That one felt like a season-ender...

Another one bites the bust. Hunter is here to recap Monday's terrible 2-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators and yes, the Pittsburgh Penguins let another one slip away. Hunter discusses why this one was very similar to last week's loss against the Montreal Canadiens (minus Jarry's struggles) and why these types of losses keep happening. He credits Dylan Ferguson for the win but also goes after the Penguins for not generating enough good looks from the slot/high-danger area. In other words, the Penguins didn't make him work nearly enough as they should have. After that, Hunter brings up the repeated topic of Brian Dumoulin and why Mike Sullivan's job might be tied to this.

That one felt like a season-ender...

Another one bites the bust. Hunter is here to recap Monday's terrible 2-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators and yes, the Pittsburgh Penguins let another one slip away. Hunter discusses why this one was very similar to last week's loss against the Montreal Canadiens (minus Jarry's struggles) and why these types of losses keep happening. He credits Dylan Ferguson for the win but also goes after the Penguins for not generating enough good looks from the slot/high-danger area. In other words, the Penguins didn't make him work nearly enough as they should have. After that, Hunter brings up the repeated topic of Brian Dumoulin and why Mike Sullivan's job might be tied to this. He breaks down Dumoulin's role for another goal against as he was puck-watching the entire time and didn't come close to making a play on Batherson. Why does he continually get on the ice in these situations? Hunter tries his best to answer it before moving on to Tristan Jarry's performance and why he stepped up when he needed to for this team to have a chance. He then analyzes Mikael Granlund's game and why he hasn't been a good fit since he was acquired at the deadline, plus ponders whether or not this loss is the dagger because of the upcoming schedule.

How can the Penguins strike back on Saturday night?

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! The luck of the Irish was not to be for the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night but maybe that will change for Saturday night. He's joined by Nick Zararis of the Liberty Blue podcast and of Locked On Flames to go over what went right for the Rangers on Thursday night while also looking at what went wrong for the Penguins. They start with how both teams started out of the gate, which heavily favored the Rangers. They look at how this was one of the finest performances of the season for the Rangers and how the Penguins weren't able to control the neutral zone as they did on Sunday. Hunter also doesn't like how the Penguins didn't test Shesterkin enough as he made everything look so easy. After that, the two touch on Sidney Crosby's greatness and how he might be starting to be underappreciated around the league. Is he the best grinder in the league now? Has his career been similar to Lebron's in the NBA? Hunter also wonders if he should be getting more love for being a finalist for the Hart Trophy since he's dragging this team to the playoffs. Finally, they preview Saturday's rubber match and give their keys for each team to take home the win. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Previewing Penguins-Rangers, plus what should the GM's be focusing on during the GM Meetings?

The Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers are set to meet again on Thursday as this rivalry continues to build and build. Hunter starts the show by previewing the game and discussing what the Penguins need to do in order to take down the Rangers for a third time. He discusses their play in the first 2 periods on Sunday and what went into that, plus how the special teams have to be just as good, if not better since the Rangers boast one of the top PPs in the league. He then discusses how Mike Sullivan has changed up his approach in the last calendar year to the Rangers and how it's paid off in a big way (despite the series loss last May). He then brings up how the Penguins HAVE to get traffic in front of Igor Shesterkin the way they did in the first four games of the series last year before he pivots to some injury updates. When is the earliest that Kulikov can return? What will the pairings look like if both Petry and Rutta can't go tomorrow? He also provides a quick update on their statuses for the game (it's a good one) before he finishes the show by discussing what he would want to be changed for the league during the GM Meetings this week.

The Jeff Carter AND the goaltending problems strikes again...

This team continues to make no sense. Hunter is beside himself as the Pittsburgh Penguins lost yet again to the Montreal Canadiens but it wasn't due to a lack of effort. Hunter starts the show by slamming the usual culprits as enough is enough when it comes to Jeff Carter. He looks at his plus/minus (Yes, you read that right) and how, despite it being a flawed stat, it shows everyone just how bad he is when he's a -4 on the team for the game. He's also in a fourth-line role! He then looks at what went wrong for Tristan Jarry and why Mike Sullivan seems to be gaslighting everyone when it comes to Tristan Jarry's injury. There's absolutely no way Jarry is healthy based on how he's moving and how he's playing. Usually, a player doesn't come back from an injury and immediately stinks, right? After that, he analyzes what went wrong in the defensive zone as Brian Dumoulin, Jeff Petry, and Po Joseph had some brutal moments. He analyzes how Petry misplayed the Gurianov goal while also not liking how Petry stepped up at the blue line right before the Hoffman goal. For Joseph, Hunter goes into what he should've done to the point where the go-ahead goal should never have happened. Finally, he does offer some positives after what he saw from the top six in this game. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

What a weekend for the Penguins, huh?

The Pittsburgh Penguins continue to string together wins...despite some dips in play at times. To start the show, Hunter goes over his impressions from Sunday's win over the New York Rangers and how it looked a lot like what we saw in the playoffs last season (except that they lost the series). Still, Hunter analyzes how the process to beat them hasn't changed and how the Penguins were able to stick with it despite how nasty this game got. He goes over Jason Zucker continuing to stay hot while Rickard Rakell has quietly scored in back-to-back games after being quiet for a bit. He also analyzes Tristan Jarry's play and why this was a small step in the right direction, even though he still has a ways to go. After that, Hunter does discuss the officiating and why nobody should be surprised by the inconsistency. He goes over how it was almost fate that Chris Kreider would score after a controversial no-call since the Penguins had 3 power plays in the first period. He then discusses the latest with Jacob Trouba and why he has no problem with the hit. What does he have a problem with, though? He answers that before finishing the show with a few thoughts on the Flyers game. How did the Penguins take over that game in the third? Is that period the blueprint for how to play in that period going forward? And, should Alex Nylander be given a full shot here, even if the injured forwards are ready to come back by the playoffs?

Same crap, different day for the Penguins!

Because of course, this game HAD to go as the previous 2 did against the New York Islanders did, right? Hunter starts the show by shaking his head profusely as the same mistakes continue to be made. Hunter SLAMS Mike Sullivan for his ignorance of Jeff Carter. How does he continue to get this same deployment at the end of games? What are he and the rest of the team seeing that gives them an "advantage?" It is certainly not playing out that way on the ice. Hunter then goes after Carter for touching the puck in an obvious high-sticking situation where he could've killed more time. He analyzes how the Penguins would've had a head start to defending the lead a little bit more had Carter made the right read there but nope. He also analyzes the other defensive blunders that were made, such as Kris Letang going for Bo Horvat instead of Anders Lee, who was parked in front of the net with little resistance. It's a play that simply can't happen. Hunter is then a little critical of Tristan Jarry as he wasn't good enough on a couple of those goals. He looks at why his movement is a little bit of a concern right now as it almost appears like he doesn't want to do something where his injury flares up. Finally, Hunter does look at some positive things that came from this game while also previewing this MASSIVE weekend where four crucial points are on the line. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Same crap, different day for the Penguins!

Because of course, this game HAD to go as the previous 2 did against the New York Islanders did, right? Hunter starts the show by shaking his head profusely as the same mistakes continue to be made. Hunter SLAMS Mike Sullivan for his ignorance of Jeff Carter. How does he continue to get this same deployment at the end of games? What are he and the rest of the team seeing that gives them an "advantage?" It is certainly not playing out that way on the ice. Hunter then goes after Carter for touching the puck in an obvious high-sticking situation where he could've killed more time. He analyzes how the Penguins would've had a head start to defending the lead a little bit more had Carter made the right read there but nope. He also analyzes the other defensive blunders that were made, such as Kris Letang going for Bo Horvat instead of Anders Lee, who was parked in front of the net with little resistance. It's a play that simply can't happen. Hunter is then a little critical of Tristan Jarry as he wasn't good enough on a couple of those goals. He looks at why his movement is a little bit of a concern right now as it almost appears like he doesn't want to do something where his injury flares up. Finally, Hunter does look at some positive things that came from this game while also previewing this MASSIVE weekend where four crucial points are on the line.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

It's a MUST WIN game for the Penguins tonight!

It's a HUGE game day on Thursday as the Pittsburgh Penguins will play host to the New York Islanders. Hunter first touches on the practice lines from Wednesday and why Alex Nylander should continue getting a run in the lineup to see what he has. It certainly beats trotting out Jeff Carter every game even though all he does is take faceoffs. Where should Nylander slot in? Is he good enough to be in the top six? Hunter ponders those questions before he shouts out Mike Sullivan for changing up the defensive pairings...at least a little bit. He likes seeing Dumoulin off the top pair and predicts whether he will work with Jeff Petry. He also likes what he's seen from Pettersson and Letang before he gets a bit more nervous thinking about Kulikov and Rutta. Are both of them weak links on defense? Should the third pair be Joseph-Ruhwedel? Hunter analyzes that before previewing the game against the Islanders. How can the Penguins finally beat this team? What do they need to improve on? How have the Islanders changed their identity in recent weeks? Hunter answers all of those questions before ending the show with some news about PPG Paints Arena and a fascinating comment from Brian Burke on Mikael Granlund.

The Penguins really make no sense, don't they?

The Pittsburgh Penguins just have to do it the hard way, huh? Hunter starts this episode with a funny little intro before getting into the biggest reason for the historic comeback on Tuesday night. If you guessed a certain forward, you'd be correct! Hunter looks at how he's always there to give them the spark that they need and it started in the second period when he got them on the board. He also ponders where the team would be right now without him as he's been one of their most consistent players all season. He then analyzes how Alex Nylander looked and how he's starting to come around on him a little bit more. WIll he get the chance to stay for Thursday's game? That's TBD but Hunter does make a case for why he could after this performance. Following that, Hunter looks at the others goals that were scored and how the Penguins took advantage of an AHL goaltender in net to mount the comeback while also realizing what team they were playing. Even though there were a lot of positives, he does touch on the negatives, including how bad the special teams have been (minus the OT goal) and what needs to be fixed for them. He also slams the team for another poor start as these can't be happening at this point of the season. Finally, he shouts out Casey DeSmith for his great performance in relief for Jarry and how the Penguins played a little better in front of him, which has been rare.

Is Mike Sullivan making a mistake with likely scratching PO Joseph?

It's another massive week for the Pittsburgh Penguins as they have a lot of very important games. First off though, Hunter does a small recap of Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Florida Panthers. He looks at how the Penguins laid a massive egg in that game and why the loss was also not that big of a deal because they still have good math for a playoff spot. More importantly, though, Hunter goes over why the Penguins badly need Tristan Jarry down the stretch as he's their most important player. He brings up Adam Gretz's stats on how the Penguins rarely ever win when their backups are in the net and why the Penguins seem to play better defensively in front of Jarry than DeSmith. After that, Hunter analyzes why it's a mistake to take POJ out of the lineup for Kulikov and puts out a better suggestion instead. He then looks at what the Penguins' defensive pairs could be in the playoffs if Kulikov outplays Dumoulin like some expect him to (it's debatable either way). Finally, Hunter previews Tuesday night's game against the Blue Jackets as these are two points that the Penguins NEED to get. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

How much did the Penguins truly get better during this week?

The trade deadline has come and gone, which means it's time for the season's home stretch! Hunter starts the show off by looking at both moves the Penguins made on Friday and how he woke up with a little smile on his face when Nick Bonino was acquired. He analyzes where Bonino's game is since he's been away for the last several years and why the Penguins might not get much offense out of him at this time (though it'll be more than what they got out of Blueger). He then looks at how his defensive impact has been this season and why he's going to be an upgrade over Teddy Blueger (likely on the fourth line). He then analyzes the Kulikov deal and why this deal is more about cap relief in future seasons than this one. Who will he play for when he comes in? Hunter tries to answer that question since all six of the starting defensemen are currently probably better than him. After that, he rates Ron Hextall's deadline as a whole and why he likely panicked on Wednesday when he was dealing for Granlund. Hunter looks at why he could've been more patient and added a more impactful player closer to the deadline since they were about to gain even more cap space from the McGinn trade. Finally, Hunter previews Saturday's matchup against the Panthers as the Penguins go for the fifth win in a row. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

"Best of the year" for the Penguins?

What a win for the black and gold! Hunter is in awe of how this team played given everything that has gone on recently and he starts the show off by going into Drew O'Connor's overall game. He looks at why he should be here to stay for the rest of the year as he is the perfect fourth-liner for this team. He also compares his goal tonight to one of the most important goals in franchise history that happened during the 2009 one since they looked very, very similar. He also looks at how Jason Zucker continues to have one of the best seasons of his career as he's been their most consistent winger. Should he get re-signed? Hunter has some trouble with that question but that's also kinda for another time. After that, Hunter goes into how the leadership group and Mike Sullivan have done a great job with this team this week based on so many changes. He looks at how hard they've played for each other and why the bond this team has looked to be insanely special. Finally, he ends the show by complimenting Mikael Granlund for his debut and how he made Jeff Carter turn back into his old self...for at least a night. He analyzes his work on the PK, plus how he looked dangerous on offense at times before analyzing Jeff Petry's performance. He then ends the show with a quick trade deadline primer as he makes his prediction for Friday. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

"Best of the year" for the Penguins?

What a win for the black and gold! Hunter is in awe of how this team played given everything that has gone on recently and he starts the show off by going into Drew O'Connor's overall game. He looks at why he should be here to stay for the rest of the year as he is the perfect fourth-liner for this team. He also compares his goal tonight to one of the most important goals in franchise history that happened during the 2009 one since they looked very, very similar. He also looks at how Jason Zucker continues to have one of the best seasons of his career as he's been their most consistent winger. Should he get re-signed? Hunter has some trouble with that question but that's also kinda for another time. After that, Hunter goes into how the leadership group and Mike Sullivan have done a great job with this team this week based on so many changes. He looks at how hard they've played for each other and why the bond this team has looked to be insanely special. Finally, he ends the show by complimenting Mikael Granlund for his debut and how he made Jeff Carter turn back into his old self...for at least a night. He analyzes his work on the PK, plus how he looked dangerous on offense at times before analyzing Jeff Petry's performance. He then ends the show with a quick trade deadline primer as he makes his prediction for Friday.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Make it 3 in a row for the Penguins, plus the stove is HOT!

Of course, right as this episode finishes up, a Jakob Chychrun trade happens! Before that though, Hunter recaps the Penguins impressive 3-1 victory over the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night as they were the better team throughout. He looks at how Brock McGinn was able to kickstart the comeback in the third period and really shouts out McGinn for playing at a high level even though his future is in doubt. It takes a lot to do that because some players could've just mailed it in but nope, he didn't! Hunter then goes into how the Penguins are getting these deserved results as they're showing signs of life over the last week. He shouts out Jason Zucker for his goal with less than two minutes remaining and also applauds Tristan Jarry as he's really starting to find his form again. After that, Hunter dives into the hot stove and of course, a Chychrun trade drops right at the end of the episode. Hunter looks at how it would've been great to acquire Chychrun in a package deal (before he saw the trade) and why it doesn't make much sense to go after JT Miller or Brock Boeser. He ends the segment with a rant about how this team deserves an add and that he can't continue being patient. Finally, he previews Thursday night's massive matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

What's Ron Hextall cooking up?

It's been a busy day for the Pittsburgh Penguins and the next few will only get busier! That's why Rob Rossi of The Athletic joins Hunter to touch on the latest moves that were made on Tuesday as the Penguins put Brock McGinn and Mark Friedman on waivers. Is Ron Hextall cooking something up? What's the latest with JT Miller? Rob tries his best to answer both of those questions before looking at Jakob Chychrun. Is Mike Sullivan still pushing for HExtall to get a deal done there? The two also discuss if the Penguins could be pulling off a package deal where they could fill multiple holes in one deal. After that, they discuss if the Penguins could look to add a goalie during this deadline and if Hextall is feeling the heat to do something since his job is very much on the line over the next couple of months. Finally, the two look ahead to this week as this is a major week for this team as the Penguins try and put some distance between them and other teams in the playoff race.

The Penguins FINALLY showed a pulse!

Back-to-back wins? Is that allowed? Hunter starts the show by recapping the butt-kicking that the Penguins gave the Lightning on Sunday as this is a team that the Penguins have beaten a good bit over the last few years. He looks at how the depth was FINALLY able to step up and help the core as Teddy Blueger, Jeff Carter, and Brian Dumoulin all got on the score sheet. Heck, even Drew O'Connor opened the game with the first goal. He then advocates for Ron Hextall to not use this game to say that the team doesn't need any help in their bottom six and looks at why that would be very foolish. He also gives his main turning point in the game that really set the Penguins on a path to winning before changing gears to the Blues game on Saturday. Hunter analyzes what the Penguins did right in that game and how it should've been a blowout if Jordan Binnington didn't have an insane game. After that, Hunter looks to Hextall to see if he's going to make a move before Friday's deadline. Does Chychrun make sense? Should a forward be higher on the totem pole? Finally, he previews Tuesday's matchup against the Nashville Predators and why the Penguins need to keep the good times rolling against a team that is not going to make the playoffs.

Will the Penguins be buyers or sellers at the deadline? Plus, thoughts on Kapanen!

It's never dull for the Pittsburgh Penguins and that was again on display on Friday. Hunter starts the show with the big news of the day as Kasperi Kapanen was placed on waivers. He looks into why this was always a formality from the very beginning and how it made no sense to give him that kind of contract after he had a down year last season. He then looks at a few teams who could maybe do the Penguins a solid and claim him before predicting what will ultimately happen. After that, Hunter gives his thoughts on the Ron Hextall surprise press conference and informs the audience whether the team will be buyers or sellers at the deadline. Is his stance the right one? Is it also right to remove yourself from the rental game? He then gives his thoughts on a few of his other comments, including the salary cap, Jeff Carter, and so much more. Finally, Hunter analyzes Rob Rossi's story from this morning and whether the Penguins should really trade for Jacob Chychrun. Is he worth the price that the Coyotes are asking? Would this mean they're not going after a forward? All that, plus a small preview for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Blues, is on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

It's time for FSG to clean house...

Yep Penguins fans, it's time to clean house. Hunter starts the show in an unusual way but don't worry, you all will get into it. He first looks at how embarrassing of a performance this was and how the team showed absolutely nothing from start to finish. He crushes everyone on the roster for showing no fight, energy, spirit, or anything as the Penguins looked like they didn't even want to be there. After that, he examines why the Fenway Sports Group needs to make changes NOW. Not tomorrow, not this weekend, not this week, but NOW. He analyzes how it all went wrong with Ron Hextall and how he has made the same mistakes here as in Philadelphia. He also applauds the fans for somehow sticking through that game and even making their displeasures known since they started some chants during the game. Finally, Hunter looks at what this performance means for the trade deadline as it might suit the Penguins better to just punt on this season since they won't do anything in the playoffs. He also gives his thoughts on whether the team has quit on Mike Sullivan after how lethargic they looked in this one. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

It's time for FSG to clean house...

Yep Penguins fans, it's time to clean house. Hunter starts the show in an unusual way but don't worry, you all will get into it. He first looks at how embarrassing of a performance this was and how the team showed absolutely nothing from start to finish. He crushes everyone on the roster for showing no fight, energy, spirit, or anything as the Penguins looked like they didn't even want to be there. After that, he examines why the Fenway Sports Group needs to make changes NOW. Not tomorrow, not this weekend, not this week, but NOW. He analyzes how it all went wrong with Ron Hextall and how he has made the same mistakes here as in Philadelphia. He also applauds the fans for somehow sticking through that game and even making their displeasures known since they started some chants during the game. Finally, Hunter looks at what this performance means for the trade deadline as it might suit the Penguins better to just punt on this season since they won't do anything in the playoffs.

You're telling me the Penguins are in on...Luke Schenn?!?!

It's another off day for the Pittsburgh Penguins but there are always lots of things to discuss when it comes to this team. Hunter starts the show off by previewing Thursday night's tilt against the Edmonton Oilers and how these are now playoff games. He looks at how the Penguins have been bullied in their last 3-4 games against the Oilers and details what they need to do to stop the bleeding against them. He then pivots to a new rumor that popped up WHILE he was recording and that is the Penguins being a finalist for Luke Schenn. Hunter analyzes Schenn as a player and looks at how he would fit if the Penguins were to acquire him before giving his overall thoughts about it. He digs into the numbers to find that they already have multiple defensemen who do what he does on a nightly basis, plus analyzes the likely return that the Canucks would want. Finally, Hunter ends the show by analyzing just how awful the third line has been this season and why Mike Sullivan needs to stop this madness with it before it is too late.

How did it come to this for the Penguins?

It's no secret that the Pittsburgh Penguins have been a massive disappointment this season and to start the show, Hunter looks at how it came to this. He goes into the numbers with how the Penguins were set up beautifully with their top players coming back at discounts and how Ron Hextall butchered the rest of the lineup badly. He looks at how it shouldn't have been so hard for him to make a few changes because the core players take up less than $30 million combined for this season. It is not and has not been the core's fault all year. In the second segment, Hunter discusses a Jeff Petry rumor he saw today and what he's heard about it. He also analyzes Petry's season so far and why it wouldn't really make much sense to deal him unless you're getting Timo Meier or someone similar in return. That said, is there a defenseman that he would move to free up some space? Stick around for that answer. To end the show, Hunter dissects what Jeff Marek and Elliotte Friedman discussed on the Jeff Marek Show on Tuesday and why the Penguins need to say no to adding sandpaper (unless that player can score).

It's time for Ron Hextall to act NOW...

Whew, that was another tough one. Hunter is joined by Phil from Islanders Twitter to recap another stunning Penguins loss to the Islanders as they blew another third period lead to them. Hunter goes over how more bad goaltending and sloppy defensive play doomed the Penguins yet again as they continue to find new ways to lose. He looks at how Jarry was out to lunch on the last two goals and why he's got to have those, despite it being his first game back. He then looks at what the turning point of the game was while Phil gives his input. The answer may even surprise you. Hunter also details why it's time for Ron Hextall to get out of his dungeon to make this team better as the trade deadline is approaching very quickly. No, this team is not going to sell, especially after the front office went all in during the offseason. The two also discuss the outlooks for each team as we head down the stretch as the Islanders are going to be without Barzal for a bit while the Penguins have been anything but consistent. Are the odds of the Penguins missing the playoffs going up? What needs to change to get this thing turned around? All that, plus a lot more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Your Pittsburgh Penguins trade deadline primer with a special guest...

It's a special Thursday edition of the Locked On penguins podcast because it's time to talk trades! Hunter is joined by Jeff from Penguins Twitter (@LetangCult) to discuss everything trade-related regarding this team. They get into all of the third-line center targets the team has been connected to, plus others that the team hasn't been yet but could. They also look at the team's biggest need and if Ron Hextall can fix it in the next two weeks. Jeff then brings up an idea he thought about a couple of weeks ago regarding Jacob Chychrun. Do the Penguins have the pieces needed to get a deal done? Can they outbid a team like the Los Angeles Kings or Boston Bruins? Hunter then engages Jeff in a debate about if this team really needs another defenseman before the two move on to goaltenders. Do the Penguins need to do anything about their tandem at the deadline? Should they wait until the summer? The two also discuss Ron Hextall and if he's doing a good job waiting this out before ending the show with a small preview of Friday's game against the New York Islanders. Just how big of a game is it? Can they put the Islanders away for good in this stretch? What are the keys to getting it done? All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Casey DeSmith and the top line CARRIED the Penguins to that win!

The Pittsburgh Penguins got the win on Tuesday night, but it hardly came easy. Hunter starts the show out by praising Casey DeSmith for his performance as he was busy right from the opening faceoff. He goes into how his active stick, plus his movement really shined in this one, plus how he looked a lot more aggressive compared to normal. He analyzes some of the saves that he was able to make and how the Penguins got some strong goaltending from him not just in this game, but in two of his prior three starts as well. After that, Hunter looks at how great the top line performed as Sidney Crosby was the best player on the ice. He analyzes the first Jake Guentzel goal as the two took a play right out of the Tampa Bay Lightning's playbook from 2011. Oh, I bet you know that one. He then touches on how it seems like Jake Guentzel is having a "down year" eye test wise but when you look at the numbers, he's still having good production. Why is that? Does something still seem amiss about him? Finally, Hunter goes into a brutal coaching blunder from David Quinn toward the late stages of this contest and then slams the team for still looking broken. All of that, plus a look ahead to the schedule, is on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Casey DeSmith and the top line CARRIED the Penguins to that win!

The Pittsburgh Penguins got the win on Tuesday night, but it hardly came easy. Hunter starts the show out by praising Casey DeSmith for his performance as he was busy right from the opening faceoff. He goes into how his active stick, plus his movement really shined in this one, plus how he looked a lot more aggressive compared to normal. He analyzes some of the saves that he was able to make and how the Penguins got some strong goaltending from him not just in this game, but in two of his prior three starts as well. After that, Hunter looks at how great the top line performed as Sidney Crosby was the best player on the ice. He analyzes the first Jake Guentzel goal as the two took a play right out of the Tampa Bay Lightning's playbook from 2011. Oh, I bet you know that one. He then touches on how it seems like Jake Guentzel is having a "down year" eye test wise but when you look at the numbers, he's still having good production. Why is that? Does something still seem amiss about him? Finally, Hunter goes into a brutal coaching blunder from David Quinn toward the late stages of this contest and then slams the team for still looking broken. All of that, plus a look ahead to the schedule, is on this episode of Locked On Penguins.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

A full Penguins-Sharks preview, plus would Ryan O'Reilly be a great fit at 3C?

The Pittsburgh Penguins will conclude their California road trip tonight against the San Jose Sharks and yinz know what that means. Hunter starts the show by previewing that game as the Penguins cannot afford to get swept by a team that's basically tanking this season. He goes over what went wrong in the last matchup and how the Penguins can rectify those problems in this one. He also looks at what the team did well and how they can build off that, especially when it comes to the PP. After that, Hunter has some trade talk with a report about Ivan Barbashev out there from this morning. Should buyers beware when it comes to him? Hunter digs into some of his metrics to find that out and what he'd be willing to give up to get him if the Penguins show interest. He then turns his attention to Ryan O'Reilly and why he'd be a great fit for the third line center spot if the Penguins can make the money work. He checks off all the boxes and can still play at a high level, despite being in his early 30s. Finally, Hunter looks at who will be starting in goal for the Penguins on Tuesday night before going over which players will likely be traded from Josh Yohe's latest article.

Sidney Crosby was FED UP On Saturday night!

The Pittsburgh Penguins played perhaps two of their best games of the season last week only to have a terrible loss to the Los Angeles Kings overshadow them. Hunter starts the show by getting into the decision to start Casey DeSmith and why it had pros and cons. He looks at how DeSmith didn't do enough to keep the Penguins in the game, especially when giving up the second and third goals. In turn, that allowed Dustin Tokarski to come in ice cold, which showed in an ugly fashion since he hadn't played in a while. After those goals, even when the Penguins played well, it was hard for them to get back into it as the Kings took over. After that, Hunter dives into Sidney Crosby's game misconduct and why he got it. He looks at how the crosscheck happened and how Rickard Rakell didn't even come over to help him, which was a bit weird. He then explains how Crosby had every right to be upset and slams Garrett Rank for continuing to be a garbage official. Hunter also gives the latest practice updates and how Tristan Jarry looks destined to start on Tuesday. He then explains why Jan Rutta won't be activated just yet before circling back to Jarry and why a chronic hip issue could be causing these injuries.

BONUS: A very special Penguins-Ducks recap with JD Hernandez!

It's a special Saturday episode of Locked On penguins as Hunter is joined by Jason Hernandez of Locked On Ducks to recap Friday night's contest. The two start with how dominant the Penguins looked as they made a statement in this game. The momentum from the Colorado game carried over into this one in a big way. Hunter goes into how the Penguins got depth scoring from all over the lineup and how they fired the third-most shots in franchise history on poor John Gibson. The two then discuss just how bad the Ducks have been this season while JD wants Hunter to make him an offer for Adam Henrique. They also get into Sidney Crosby being a boomer to Trevor Zegras and why it's a nothing-burger before previewing Saturday night's Pens-Kings contest.

A Penguins-Ducks preview with Annie of Ducks Twitter!

The Pittsburgh Penguins are about to start their West Coast trip and what better way to celebrate that than with a new guest? Hunter welcomes Annie (sweetannieod on Twitter) to the show as she's an avid Ducks watcher. They first touch on what's gone wrong for the team this season before looking at how they've had a decent hot stretch as of late (it's been their first one this season). After that, they get into the trade deadline as the Ducks are expected to be one of the busier teams. Who does Annie thinks will go? She tries to sell Adam Henrique to some of the listeners since he's a bit up there in age before pivoting to Max Comtois as someone who can really help a team's bottom six. She also gets into how nobody saw just how bad this year would be for the Ducks before the two dive into the matchup. Annie gives her keys for the Ducks to pull this one out while Hunter gives his keys for the Penguins to win since they have to bank points during this road trip. It's not a daunting one anymore, especially when two of the teams are among the worst teams in hockey. Finally, the two give their predictions for who will take this one home.

Should the Penguins make a move for Timo Meier?

Happy Thursday! The Pittsburgh Penguins are out west for their California trip and they had their first full practice on Thursday as everyone participated in it. Hunter goes over the updates on Tristan Jarry and Jan Rutta as they both appeared to be cleared for full contact. Will one or both be available to them on Friday night? What about Saturday's game against the Kings? Hunter then looks at how this will be the first time the team is fully healthy in close to six weeks as we can all see how good this team is with the entire roster (assuming nobody gets hurt). He then ponders why McGinn and Carter continue to get minutes together, even though the numbers are so bad (and comparable to another winger-center duo from years past). After that, Hunter looks at how the New York Rangers got better with their trade on Thursday and what that means for the Penguins. Do they have what it takes to make a big splash? Should they go all-in with getting Timo Meier? Does Adam Henrique make a good fit if they can get him? Finally, Hunter does a quick look ahead to the meeting against the Anaheim Ducks on Friday night as they have been one of the worst teams in the league this season.

How did the Penguins win that game?!?!

The Pittsburgh Penguins, somehow, someway found a way to win that hockey game on Tuesday night. Hunter starts the show by going over the main reasons as to why they won and it all starts with Casey DeSmith. He turned in his finest performance of the season and was able to make some massive saves in key situations to keep them in it until Bryan Rust struck with less than four minutes remaining. He also credits the penalty kill as that unit killed off four straight penalties, including the one in overtime when it looked impossible. He also loved the effort they gave in the third period and wonders where that was in the first two periods of this game. After that, he shouts out Ryan Poehling for a very underrated play that he made directly after killing the penalty, which led to the OT winner. Hunter also loved that Mike Sullivan decided to flip Rakell and Rust and looks at how both players complement each line that they're on fairly well. Of course, he does have to add that the third line was once again non-existent and that continues to be a problem as the trade deadline gets closer. Hunter even speculates that Sullivan could be icing Carter in bad situations on purpose to get Ron Hextall to wake up a little bit. Finally, Hunter ends the show by arguing how this was a season-saving win as the standings continue to get tighter. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Andrew Destin joins the show and there are a lot of Penguins related topics to discuss!

Hunter has a new guest on Locked On Penguins for this Monday episode. That's right, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette joins the show to touch on numerous topics. They start by getting into Ron Hextall's comments during his press conference on Sunday and Andrew's main takeaways from it. Hunter then looks at how Hextall has to be lying when he says he likes the team on paper because it was flawed coming into this season and it's shown that in a big way thus far. The two also discuss what move Hextall could be looking to make at the deadline and how a revamp of the third line remains the biggest priority. After that, the two get into the returns of Kasperi Kapanen and Josh Archibald and how they could make a difference for this team's forward group (especially Archibald on the fourth line). Finally, the two have a discussion about the game on Tuesday against the Colorado Avalanche and what the keys will be for the Penguins to win that game, plus how this upcoming road trip might make or break this season.

Answering YOUR mailbag questions on all kinds of Penguins-related content!

It's a Mailbag Question kind of day for this Thursday edition of the Locked On Penguins podcast. To start this episode, Hunter answers all of your mailbag questions, including some on potential trade targets for the Pittsburgh Penguins. He also answers one on how the team would look like right now if Jim Rutherford was still the GM and not Ron Hextall, plus looks at which players could be moved by the deadline to create some cap room for an incoming player. The trend continues in the second segment as he continues to answer mailbag questions, one of which is his favorite alternate jersey that the Penguins have ever worn. He's also asked about more trade targets before he ends the show with some all-star festivities talk and by shouting out Josh Yohe's latest article on Jaromir Jagr. Hunter brings up how Crosby and Ovechkin are going to team up during the skills competition on Friday and how they've been able to overcome their rivalry over the years before looking at when a potential retirement ceremony for Jaromir Jagr will be held.

Josh Yohe is back to touch on ALL things Penguins!

As promised, Wednesday is Josh Yohe day! Hunter welcomes Josh back to the program and they first touch on the Penguins' first half of the regular season. Hunter gets Josh's thoughts on what went right vs what went wrong and how this team has been very streaky this season. He also brings up the power play and how it needs to be a lot better going forward because it looks like a unit that's not coached well. Hunter then brings up the recent Islanders trade and the two discuss Ron Hextall and how it's time for him to make a move. Josh brings up how he's definitely trying and what he expects the move to look like. He also does throw some cold water on the Thatcher Demko stuff and why he doesn't see a move being made there. Josh then looks at a player like Ivan Barbashev and how he would make a ton of sense for this team, especially in a third-line role. They also discuss if Ron Hextall will be back next season, plus what would need to happen to get him and the rest of the front office out as the new ownership group could want their own guys. Finally, the two look at the second half of the season and what needs to change in order for the Penguins to extend the league's longest playoff streak. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Do the Penguins make sense as a Thatcher Demko landing spot?

Happy Tuesday! It's the final day of January and what better way to celebrate that than with some trade talk? Hunter starts the show by going into the latest rumors surrounding Thatcher Demko and how Elliotte Friedman labeled the Penguins as a fit for his services during a radio hit. Hunter analyzes the pros and cons of Demko's game before looking at what a potential asking price would be from the Canucks. Does sending POJ and potentially Jarry back actually improve the Penguins? Would a Jarry-Demko tandem work if he doesn't go back? Hunter also explains how it just might not be the right time to get a goalie of his caliber since Jarry is up after this season and since Demko has been hurt for most of this season. In the second segment, Hunter goes over his new big board as the deadline is a little over five weeks away. Who are some new players on it? Who is his top target now that Bo Horavt has been traded? Finally, Hunter ends the show with a discussion surrounding Ron Hextall and why this season's failures are mostly on him. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Are the Penguins in real danger of missing the playoffs?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are coming off perhaps their most embarrassing loss of the season over the weekend against the San Jose Sharks and Hunter has a lot to say about it. He starts the show by going over the main reasons for the loss, including how this team has a weird ability of not starting games on time or ending periods on time. Hunter goes over some potential reasons for that while slamming the Penguins for their horrendous defensive zone coverage throughout the game. He looks at several plays where the Penguins were leaving Sharks players wide open in front of the net and why that's been a problem all season. He also didn't like how Casey DeSmith played on the fourth and fifth goals as those are saves that he probably should've made. After that, Hunter looks at how even the New York Islanders are making win-now moves now that they have Bo Horvat and makes sure to drive the message home that the Penguins need to do something. A change is needed to spark this team after they've been way too inconsistent all season long. Finally, Hunter ends the show with what improvements he's looking for from the Penguins in the second half, both systems-wise and player-personnel-wise. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Are the Penguins in real danger of missing the playoffs?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are coming off perhaps their most embarrassing loss of the season over the weekend against the San Jose Sharks and Hunter has a lot to say about it. He starts the show by going over the main reasons for the loss, including how this team has a weird ability of not starting games on time or ending periods on time. Hunter goes over some potential reasons for that while slamming the Penguins for their horrendous defensive zone coverage throughout the game. He looks at several plays where the Penguins were leaving Sharks players wide open in front of the net and why that's been a problem all season. He also didn't like how Casey DeSmith played on the fourth and fifth goals as those are saves that he probably should've made. After that, Hunter looks at how even the New York Islanders are making win-now moves now that they have Bo Horvat and makes sure to drive the message home that the Penguins need to do something.

Can the Pittsburgh Penguins take down the San Jose Sharks on Saturday night?

It's a special Saturday episode of the Locked On penguins podcast as Hunter is joined by JD Young of Locked On Sharks to preview Saturday night's showdown between the two teams. They first start out by catching up with the Penguins and how inconsistent they've been this season before flipping it over to the Sharks/ Has the team finally committed to rebuilding? Is this a tank year for them? They also discuss Erik Karlsson and how he's found the fountain of youth this season before discussing each team's plans for the trade deadline. Hunter gets into how the Penguins BADLY need to remake their third line and how they could be in the goalie market before JD chimes in with how James Reimer could make sense for the Penguins as a 1B option behind Tristan Jary. He dives into his stats a little bit and also makes the case that he probably won't cost too much to acquire. He also throws Timo Meier out there and fantasizes about how good he would look next to Crosby or Malkin, even though Hunter argues that he could go on the team's third line. Finally, the two go over the keys for both teams to come out of this one with a victory as its the Penguins' final game before their bye week. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Despite the loss, the Penguins can still take some positives away from it!

The Pittsburgh Penguins dropped a close one on Thursday night, but that doesn't mean it's the end of the world. Hunter starts the show by getting into the shootout and why the Penguins fell victim in this one. He looks at why it's time for Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin to potentially be replaced in future shootouts since they don't seem to care about actually making moves to score. Hunter gives his dream top three that Mike Sullivan should go with, especially since those three players actually make moves. He then slams the NHL for allowing Evgeny Kuznetsov to get away with the move that he uses since it's a total cop-out move from the EA Sports NHL game. He looks at how it's just not fair to any goaltender that goes up against it and why it could lead to shootouts getting washed altogether. After that, Hunter praises Casey DeSmith for his performance and how he was able to bounce back in a big way. Is that the norm for him going forward? How can he stay more consistent? Finally, Hunter ends the show with a discussion about the 4th line and how the Penguins have found something with Poehling, DOC, and Heinen. He then looks at how it can get even better once Josh Archibald is ready to return. All of that, plus much more, is on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast.

An update on Tristan Jarry, plus a Pens-Caps preview!

Happy Wednesday, Penguins fans! Hunter starts the show by going over some news and notes from today's practice as the Penguins welcomed a couple of players back but also got some bad news on goaltender Tristan Jarry. He goes into Kasperi Kapanen and Josh Archibald practicing and wonders whether one or both will play in these final two games before their bye week or if they'll be rested. He looks at the impact that Archibald could bring to the fourth line and how he looks to be a bit closer to returning than Kapanen. He then looks at how it might not be so bad that Jarry is out until after the All-Star Break as that can give him time to rest up whatever new ailment is bothering him. After that, Hunter shifts to previewing Round 2 of Pens-Caps as the Penguins are set to visit Washington DC for the second and final time on Thursday. He catches up with the Caps as they've fallen off a little bit after their hot streak but that doesn't mean they can't be dangerous. Hunter analyzes what to expect from their top players as Backstrom and Oshie are likely to come back in this one, plus how Alex Ovechkin is continuing to still defy time. He also gives some keys for the Penguins to win this game after they had some great success against them just a few months ago. Finally, Hunter ends the show with a look at a potential trade target for the Penguins as the deadline is creeping up fast. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Wildest Penguins game of the season, right?

How's everyone doing after that crazy game? Hunter starts the episode off by getting into the core players and how they were the main reason why the Penguins were able to bring this home. He especially shouts out Kris Letang for his heroics and how his dad was definitely with him while he was on the ice for this game. He analyzes how he played offensively and how the Penguins badly missed him over this last month. He then gets into how Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby had VINTAGE performances in this one and how the power play in particular really needed that spark that Malkin was able to provide it. He also laughs at how Ryan Lomberg poked the bear (Crosby) and why it's never wise to do that. After that, he does address Casey DeSmith's performance and how it was the worst one of the year. He analyzes what he saw from PPG Paints Arena and if this is going to be the norm going forward or if this was just an outlier. He also does make the point that he can't get too many starts in a row because he's just not built for that. Finally, Hunter praises the 4th line for having one of their best games of the season as Drew O'Connor and Danton Heinen were all over the ice.

Despite the OT struggles, the team is starting to turn it around...

Sunday's loss might not show it but the Pittsburgh Penguins might be starting to turn a corner. Hunter begins with that for Monday's show as the Penguins dominated the New Jersey Devils on Sunday afternoon. He looks at how this was a pure puck luck loss by the Penguins as they just couldn't put the puck in the back of the net. He also shouts out the defensive effort as they held one of the more prolific teams in the league to just one goal in 60 minutes of action before the OT shenanigans happened. Speaking of that, Hunter slams the Penguins for dropping that game in OT and analyzes what has gone on in all of these OT games. Is this deployment? Are they trying to do too much? Why aren't they patient enough? He then goes into how this was a classic game where the Penguins badly needed a goal from their bottom six but to course, they could not get one. He dives into some stats over the last 7-8 games and how it still hasn't done nearly enough. Hunter then looks at some individual player performances and how the team has gotten a massive lift from Tristan Jarry and Jeff Petry since they returned on Friday, plus how they're starting to bank more points in the standings. Speaking of that, he ends the show with a Pens-Cats preview for Tuesday night as the Penguins have a massive game at home against a team behind them in the standings.

Despite the OT struggles, the team is starting to turn it around...

Sunday's loss might not show it but the Pittsburgh Penguins might be starting to turn a corner. Hunter begins with that for Monday's show as the Penguins dominated the New Jersey Devils on Sunday afternoon. He looks at how this was a pure puck luck loss by the Penguins as they just couldn't put the puck in the back of the net. He also shouts out the defensive effort as they held one of the more prolific teams in the league to just one goal in 60 minutes of action before the OT shenanigans happened. Speaking of that, Hunter slams the Penguins for dropping that game in OT and analyzes what has gone on in all of these OT games. Is this deployment? Are they trying to do too much? Why aren't they patient enough? He then goes into how this was a classic game where the Penguins badly needed a goal from their bottom six but to course, they could not get one. He dives into some stats over the last 7-8 games and how it still hasn't done nearly enough. Hunter then looks at some individual player performances and how the team has gotten a massive lift from Tristan Jarry and Jeff Petry since they returned on Friday, plus how they're starting to bank more points in the standings. Speaking of that, he ends the show with a Pens-Cats preview for Tuesday night as the Penguins have a massive game at home against a team behind them in the standings.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Recapping Part 1 of Pens-Sens with Alex Metzger!

It wasn't the Penguins' night on Wednesday night, though they did get a point. Hunter is joined by Alex Metzger of the Last Word On Senator's podcast to recap this thriller as the officiating really dictated this game. They start the show with some ticky-tacky calls on both sides of things and how it's super rare when you see a team get 9 opportunities on the power play. Alex breaks down how the Senators could dictate terms on the man advantage against one of the best PKs in the league and how the Sens have had one of the best power plays in the league all year. After that, they look at how goaltending also played a big factor as Cam Talbot was a bit shaky while Casey DeSmith could've had that last one on Brady Tkachuk. Alex goes into which goals from Talbot were a bit shakier than others and how it's unlikely he gets the start for Friday's game. Hunter also again addresses the lack of depth on the Penguins as Jeff Carter probably had his worst game of the season. Heck, he even whiffed on a shorthanded two-on-one odd-man rush in this game. He also praises Jason Zucker and Evgeni Malkin for strong efforts before ending the show with a quick look ahead to Friday's rematch. What do the Penguins have to do to win it? What do the Senators have to do to sweep the home and home? All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Could some injured players be coming back soon? Plus a full Pens-Sens preview!

It's another Pittsburgh Penguins game night as they're set to take on the Ottawa Senators! Hunter starts the show by going over some practice notes and if any of the injured players could be making their returns for this one. He then looks at why this is such a massive game for the Penguins as he explains just how crucial their "games in hand" are for the standings in the Metropolitan Division. After that, he does a full preview of the game against the Senators and how their top six is one of the more underrated ones in the league. He also looks at how the Penguins' depth (which isn't even that good) should be able to overcome the Senators' since their depth is a bit worse. He also explains what improvements he wants to see from the team in this game before giving his keys for them to come out on top.

A win's a win, but there is still A LOT to fix...

The Pittsburgh Penguins got a massive win on Monday night, but did it come at a cost? Hunter starts the show off by looking at how the Penguins should feel pretty fortunate to win that game against the Ducks, even though they outplayed them for the majority of the game. He looks at how Bryan Rust and Jake Geuntzel may have just saved Ron Hextall's job...at least for now and how things would've been looking really bleak had they lost this one. He then looks at how badly the Penguins needed this win since they have a pretty easy schedule for most of this week. It's time for them to bank some points in the standings since the Metro is a lot more competitive this season. After that, he analyzes Guentzel's goal and why John Gibson had no chance on it since he thought Jake was going to do one thing before the opposite happened. Hunter also looks at what needs to change on the PP (as he does every episode) and why it should be even more concerning that nothing could happen against the freaking Ducks of all teams. He then shouts out Jason Zucker for continuing to be the team's most consistent winger and how the player continues to feed off his energy before praising Bryan Rust for finally getting a big-time goal as he's had a rough season.

A fun Pens-Ducks preview with Jason Hernandez of Locked On Ducks!

It's time for the Pittsburgh Penguins to get back on the winning track and what better way to do that than to play the Anaheim Ducks? Hunter is joined by Jason Hernandez of Locked On Ducks for a special crossover edition of the Locked On Penguins podcast to preview this matchup. They start with the Ducks and how things have been awful for them this season. Jason gets into the biggest failure of this season and why a coaching change needs to be made directly after the season ends. He also looks at which players could be traded by the deadline and what returns they could likely command. He also looks at what the lines will look like before switching things over to a Penguins perspective. Hunter looks at what went wrong in the Hurricanes game on Saturday night and what needs to change on the power play for it to be better. He also analyzes why Ron Hextall failed at his job during the offseason and why it's well past time for him to make a move to help the team. After that, they give keys for both teams to win before making their predictions. All that, plus some fun tidbits, in this new episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

It's not going to get any easier on Saturday night...

The Pittsburgh Penguins came into this game without three of their top four defensemen and it went the way a lot of people expected: With a loss. The Penguins showed some promise in the first period, but then got blown out of the water in the final 40 minutes of regulation. Hunter didn't like the competitive level of most of the players on the team and even praised a fight in the third period,d which is something he almost never does. Hunter looks at how the top six struggled to generate any offense in this one, which leaves it to the bottom six...and you all saw how that went. Yes, Drew O'Connor scored, but it seems like nobody else in the bottom six wants to lately. Hunter again rips that unit as it continues to be not good enough. He also looks at the regression from Brock McGinn as he was never going to shoot 18% for the entire season. He then goes after some people who went at Mike Sullivan for this loss...as if he can push a magic button with being out three d-men, plus his starting goaltender. He points the finger at Hextall as it's past time for him to go out and do something to help this team. Finally, he gets everyone prepped for the Hurricanes on Saturday night as that promises to be a very, very tough game for the Penguins to win. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

How does the goalie situation shake itself out for this weekend?

The Pittsburgh Penguins have another back-to-back situation this weekend as they're set to play the Winnipeg Jets and the Carolina Hurricanes. Hunter starts the show by reviewing some practice notes from Thursday and giving yinz some small scoops on a couple of the injury situations. After that, he previews Friday's game against the Jets and what's made them so successful this season when not many saw it coming. He analyzes the roster while still not believing in them and goes into what they do well and how the Penguins can counter it, just like they did back in November. After that, Hunter gives his take on the goalie situation and why Dustin Tokarski should start on Friday since he had the hot hand in the Vancouver game. He then pivots to Casey DeSmith and why he would get the chance to get his game back together on Saturday, even though the Penguins would be a bit gassed. Finally, Hunter does a small preview for that game against the Hurricanes and looks at how the Penguins can finally get a result against them.

That was a comeback for the ages!

That was a wild one, yeah? Hunter is back with a fresh episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast as the Penguins came back to defeat the Vancouver Canucks in Tuesday night, 5-4. Hunter starts the show off with how the Penguins never seemed to be out of it even when they went down by three. He looks at how the team just needed average goaltending or this probably would've been a blowout. He likes how the team trusted the process and continued to pepper Spencer Martin with shots before they were able to tie the game before the end of the intermission and then go up by two heading into the third. He also praises the Top 6 as the big guns came alive to jumpstart this comeback. After all, the Penguins NEED their top players to win them games, especially with their depth problems and injuries. After that, he praises Brian Dumoulin (yes, you read that right), for his performance as he was the best defenseman on the ice. He goes into what he did well and if that can carry over into Friday's game against the Jets. He also shouts out Ty Smith for perhaps his best game as a Penguin yet. He analyzes what changes he saw in Smith's game tonight and why his time up here continues to be more fruitful for the team. Hunter also shouts out the power play for getting back on track but also points out how the Penguins need to do a lot more of 1 main thing for the PP to stay hot going forward.

A win?! Is that allowed?!?!

The Pittsburgh Penguins snapped out of their funk in a big way on Sunday night with a 4-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes. Hunter starts this episode by making sure a win is indeed allowed before touching on how seeing Jake Guentzel get back to his usual self was the biggest reason for the win. He looks at where the two goals were scored and how Guentzel finally decided to simplify things in his game to get back on the score sheet. After that, Hunter praises Casey DeSmith and how he gave the Penguins his best start of the season. He looks at why the Penguins need this level from him until Tristan Jarry is ready to come back since they need to keep pace with the rest of the teams in the division. He also analyzes Jason Zucker's goal and how he could finally pull off that beautiful move before roasting the power play for another awful performance. What needs to change on that unit? Is Todd Reirden not doing enough in terms of coaching? Is it the players not executing? Hunter then wraps up the show with a full preview of Tuesday's game against the Vancouver Canucks.

A win?! Is that allowed?!?!

The Pittsburgh Penguins snapped out of their funk in a big way on Sunday night with a 4-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes. Hunter starts this episode by making sure a win is indeed allowed before touching on how seeing Jake Guentzel get back to his usual self was the biggest reason for the win. He looks at where the two goals were scored and how Guentzel finally decided to simplify things in his game to get back on the score sheet. After that, Hunter praises Casey DeSmith and how he gave the Penguins his best start of the season. He looks at why the Penguins need this level from him until Tristan Jarry is ready to come back since they need to keep pace with the rest of the teams in the division.

Things continue to get worse, huh?

That's now six losses in a row for the Pittsburgh Penguins as things got worse on Thursday night. To start things off, Hunte roasts the team for their horrendous start in the first period as the game was lost within the opening couple of minutes. He looks at how their legs weren't there, which is unacceptable for a team that just had three days off. He then looks at how Casey DeSmith needed to do a better job keeping them in the game in that first period as he didn't like the second goal that he gave to Eichel. Following that, Hunter gets into how the Penguins looked in the second period before he again roasts the team for not getting anything out of it. He also is wary of the idea of Casey DeSmith getting the starter's reps going forward if Tristan Jarry is going to be out for longer than a day-to-day basis. DeSmith simply has to be better or this team could really fall out of it pretty quickly. Hunter also rips the front office for giving this coaching staff a bottom six that mostly can't score (except you, Brock McGinn, and Josh Archibald) and how the Penguins basically need their top six to score every night or its curtains. Following that, he ends the show thinking about if the Penguins really have any younger players that they can recall from WBS that could make a difference.

Why Kasperi Kapanen NEEDS more ice-time, plus a PIT-VGK preview!

Happy Wednesday! As always, there is a lot to discuss in this one. Hunter starts the show off with practice notes as the Penguins returned to practice on Wednesday in Las Vegas. He looks to see if Mike Sullivan made any changes to the lines while also looking at what defensive changes he would make since there are now seven healthy defensemen. He then looks over the power-play units and speculates if Mike Sullivan will take Ty Smith off PP1 and replace him with PO Joseph. After that, he previews Thursday's game against the Golden Knights and how this is going to be another tough game for the Penguins to win. He looks at how good Vegas has been this season and how the team is expected to get even better with Jack Eichel coming back for this one (most likely). He then gives some keys for how the Penguins can snap their losing streak before ending the show with a discussion about Kasperi Kapanen and why he should get more playing time going forward.

Mike Sullivan needs to change some things up...FAST

The Pittsburgh Penguins' skid continued on Monday afternoon with a 2-1 loss to the Boston Bruins. It was a game that featured the Penguins doing a lot of good things, but they then made mistakes in the 3rd period that cost them two points. To start things off, Hunter slams Mike Sullivan for putting out a lineup that should've been better. He goes into how Sullivan usually never does 11 forwards and seven defensemen and wonders why he all of a sudden decided to do that. He also goes at him for continuing to put Brian Dumoulin on the ice in late-game situations when things are most dire. Should Ruhwedel have played over Dumoulin? Why isn't Drew O'Connor getting more minutes? After that, Hunter continues to question Sullivan because Kasperi Kapanen saw his ice time go down yet again, even when he was playing well. He also gets into Casey DeSmith coming in for Tristan Jarry and how well he was playing before the last two goals happened. He then looks at some positives from this game and how most of the Penguins' mistakes are fixable. Finally, Hunter ends the show with his thoughts on the team going forward and why you should still think this team can make the playoffs. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The power play struggles are BACK, baby!

That's now four straight losses and yes, Hunter knows you all want to set everything on fire. Hunter starts Friday night's recap with the special teams' struggles and how that was the main difference in this game. He looks at what the power play did wrong and how it was a complete 180 from the last 12 games when the Penguins scored at least 1 PP goal in 11 of them. He dissects the zone entries and how the Penguins made it look effortless for the Devils to keep sending the puck down the ice, plus why Ty Smith needs to be a bit more polished at the point as the QB. Should the team return to POJ on the top unit until Kris Letang returns? He tries to answer that question before pivoting to how badly the top players played in this one. Is there cause for concern with Jake Guentzel? Hunter gives some stats about his recent play that don't put him in the best light and makes the point that this needs to change quickly. He even does the same for Sidney Crosby as he didn't look to be on his game, either. Hunter also analyzes Tristan Jarry's performance and how he probably should've had that third goal from Hischier while also blasting Malkin for not back-checking hard enough.

Previewing Penguins-Devils, plus answers to YOUR mailbag questions!

When isn't there bad injury news when it comes to the Pittsburgh Penguins? Hunter starts the show off with some practice notes as yes, another Penguin is now hurt. He looks at when exactly Kris Letang got hurt on Wednesday night and if it looks to be severe. He also looks at who will be his replacement on the right side if he has to miss a game or two going forward since he wasn't at practice on Thursday. He also discusses how Ty Smith looks primed to replace him on the top PP and ponders how much playing time he will get if he makes his Penguins debut on Friday night. He also takes a wild guess at what the pairings will be if Letang can't go and yes, that would mean Dumoulin would stay in the lineup. After that, he previews Friday's matchup against the New Jersey Devils as this team has been really struggling as of late. He goes into how the Penguins have struggled against them over the last two seasons (even though their overall record against them isn't too bad) and how their speed has made it difficult for the Penguins to handle. He gives the top keys for the Penguins to pull off this W as second place will be on the line. Finally, he ends the show by answering YOUR mailbag questions! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Penguins decided to make it worse for yinz...

In Penguins fashion, they had to say "hold my beer" when it comes to the worst loss of the season. Just one night after the Penguins laid an egg against the New York Islanders, they blew a 4-0 lead to the Detroit Red Wings, and...yeah, we have a lot to talk about. Hunter starts the show by slamming head coach Mike Sullivan for continuing to deploy Brian Dumoulin and Jeff Carter like nothing is wrong with them. He looks at some stats which show just how bad they've been in a recent stretch and why they cannot be trusted in late-game situations anymore. He also looks at how it's time for Sullivan to stop being stubborn and catering to veterans who obviously don't have it anymore. He goes into why Ty Smith should start seeing some minutes and why even a move to the wing for Carter probably won't save him. After that, he ponders the question if things have gone stale for the Penguins in the Sullivan era and why some fans need to "tone it down" a bit when it comes to him, even though criticism is valid. Finally, he does get into some positive things for the Penguins to take from this performance (Hello, Jason Zucker?). All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Dump this one in the trash and move on!

That was the worst season performance for the Pittsburgh Penguins and it wasn't close. Hunter starts the show by looking at how Brian Dumoulin and Jeff Carter crush this team on a nightly basis. he breaks down the first goal and what went wrong, plus who was on the ice for it (Hint: it wasn't Carter) before touching on how it's time for Mike Sullivan to have some heart-to-heart conversations with Dumoulin. He looks at how Dumoulin is doing nothing to help the team right now and how it's getting close to Jack Johnson level bad with how his play continues to deteriorate. After that, he gets to Carter and how he was in no-man's-land for multiple goals against the Islanders. Is it time to move Carter to the wing? Would that even work? Hunter dissects that before moving to just how brutal of a game this was. He looks at NST and how this was a total clunker right from the opening faceoff but also urges fans to not read much into it. Every team has clunkers throughout each season. To wrap up the show, Hunter previews the game against the Detroit Red Wings and looks at if you will see any lineup changes for it.

The Penguins have a MAJOR Brian Dumoulin problem...

It looked like the Pittsburgh Penguins were going to get a massive win on Thursday night...until they didn't. That's right, Brian Dumoulin screwed up yet again for the Penguins as his struggles continued to get worse. Before Hunter gets to that play, he starts the episode by looking at whether the Penguins truly have a problem with the Hurricanes. He does a deep dive into all three matchups and looks at just how close they have been. He even argues that the Penguins could've won two if not all three of those games against them. After that, he does address the Brian Dumoulin issue and what the Penguins should do with him. Should he be traded? Should he be benched? Should Ty Smith come up? All of the above? Hunter breaks down what went wrong with the play on Jordan Staal and why Dumoulin shouldn't be getting those minutes anymore. He then gives some glaring stats at how rough Dumo has been all season before looking at another big problem: Jeff Carter & the third line. Hunter warns the listeners how bad that line will look once Brock McGinn comes off his shooting bender.

Yinz ready for Round 3 of Penguins-Hurricanes?

It's another Pittsburgh Penguins gameday as they have just one game left before the Holiday break. This contest will come against the first-place Carolina Hurricanes as the Penguins look to defeat them for the first time this season. Hunter is joined by Jared Ellis once again on the show to preview this matchup. They get into the game from Sunday and how both teams were able to follow that one up with a win prior to this game. Jared looks at what the Hurricanes have done better during this winning streak. They also look at how the Canes have had the Penguins' number this season and if that could be a cause for concern going forward. After that, they get into both goaltending situations and how both young goaltenders are really stepping it up for both teams as of late. Finally, they give some keys for each team to win, plus make predictions. All that, plus much more on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Yinz ready for Round 3 of Penguins-Hurricanes?

It's another Pittsburgh Penguins gameday as they have just one game left before the Holiday break. This contest will come against the first-place Carolina Hurricanes as the Penguins look to defeat them for the first time this season. Hunter is joined by Jared Ellis once again on the show to preview this matchup. They get into the game from Sunday and how both teams were able to follow that one up with a win prior to this game. Jared looks at what the Hurricanes have done better during this winning streak. They also look at how the Canes have had the Penguins' number this season and if that could be a cause for concern going forward. After that, they get into both goaltending situations and how both young goaltenders are really stepping it up for both teams as of late. Finally, they give some keys for each team to win, plus make predictions. All that, plus much more on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

A power play goal was all the Penguins needed!

How about that win? The Pittsburgh Penguins were able to take down the New York Rangers by a score of 3-2 on Tuesday night and yes, there's a lot to get into. Hunter stars the show with the defining moment in this game, which of course was Evgeni Malkin's power-play goal. He looks at how Rickard Rakell was able to draw that penalty and how Malkin had a perfect shot past Shesterkin, which is how you beat him. He also credits Bryan Rust for getting some redemption and showing another way to beat one of the best goaltenders in the league. He then analyzes Tristan Jarry's performance after he held the fort for the first half of the game and then continued to make timely saves when the Penguins got the lead. He then looks at how Guentzel and Crosby continued to crush the Rangers before having no sympathy about the no-call on Brian Dumoulin at the end of the game.

Not the end of the world...

The winning streak is over for the Pittsburgh Penguins but this is a loss that not many should be upset about. Hunter is joined by Kat Hunter of Hurricanes Twitter to break this one down and they first start with how great this game was. They look at how it had a playoff-like feel to it, and how we need a seven-game series between the two. They also get into goaltending and how Casey DeSmith let the Penguins down with a couple of stinkers. Hunter even questions why HCMS started DeSmith since the team wasn't on a B2B. They then look at how special teams played a role as the Penguins' PP was shut down (for the most part and how the Hurricanes' PK was able to get it done. They also look at how Crosby was a bit off, how Kapanen had another stellar game, Brock's goal in his return, plus how Jordan Staal made everyone in Pittsburgh miss him...yet again.

Lucky number seven for your Pittsburgh Penguins!

The Pittsburgh Penguins continue to win and it's all they know how to do! Hunter recaps the Penguins' 4-2 win over the Florida Panthers from Thursday night and starts the show by gushing over how the special teams units were. He looks at how they carried the rest of the team to this victory and how both have done a complete 180 since the season started. He then asks fans to maybe give some more credit to Todd Reirden and Mike Vellucci since they oversee the units that have really helped the Penguins win more games. AFter that, Hunter analyzes Tristan Jarry's performance and looks at a couple of instances where he really kept them in the game. He then goes over some of his recent numbers and wonders whether he'll start to get some Vezina love if he can keep it up heading into the new year. Of course, this game wouldn't be complete without some proper Kris Letang love as he enjoyed another stellar outing. Hunter breaks down how he was able to pot his second of the season at a time when they badly needed a goal. He also discusses Evgeni Malkin's injury and why it doesn't look to be serious before ending the show with a discussion about how every fan should be enjoying this, even though it's just the regular season.

Previewing Penguins-Panthers with Armando Velez of Locked On Panthers!

It's a crossover Wednesday for the Locked On Penguins podcast. Hunter is joined by Armando Velez of Locked On Panthers to preview Thursday night's tilt between the two teams. The two start with the Pittsburgh Penguins and how they are on a mission right now. Armando gets Hunter to discuss what's gone into the winning streak and what had to turn around during the losing streak. He looks at how the penalty kill and goaltending have done a complete 180 while the team has continued to score at the same rate. He also looks at how Sidney Crosby has had one of the best starts of his career to a season, plus how POJ's development has really shown thus far. After that, the two get into Florida's slow start and what's really been plaguing it. Are they just not consistent enough? What's been going on in net with Sergei Bobrovsky? Armando then looks at Matthew Tkachuk and how he's played since he got traded over the offseason. Have the Panthers gotten the better of the deal? What about defensively? Have there been issues there? Finally, the two give their keys for each team to come out on top before giving their predictions on how it will go.

Is P.O. Joseph about to get even more minutes due to this Jeff Petry injury?

The Pittsburgh Penguins' injury curse had to live on. Yeah, you guys knew it wasn't going away anytime soon. Hunter starts this show by going into the unfortunate news about Jeff Petry as he is set to miss close to a month with that hand injury. He looks at how the Penguins will reconfigure their defensive pairs during that time and how much more weight is about to be on the shoulders of Kris Letang. He then analyzes the Penguins' callups and why the two that came up made the most sense. He goes into Drew O'Connor's recent hot stretch down in WBS and why Mark Friedman will be more of a warm body because the Penguins still have 6 healthy defensemen right now. Yes, he does get to the Ty Smith stuff and why it wouldn't make much sense to bring him up...at least for right now. after that, he looks at POJ's game as a whole and how he continues to show that he's going to be a long-term top 4 defenseman in this league. Hunter dives into the numbers (which are career-highs) that show just how good he's been at both ends of the rink. He then begs the question of whether POJ should get more minutes while Petry is out. Should he come up to the top pairing? Should he be the full-time QB of the second PP? Finally, Hunter looks ahead to the Panthers and what's making them struggle this season before teasing a full preview episode on Wednesday with Armando Velez. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Evgeni Malkin became the hero on Monday night!

Evgeni Malkin brought the house down for the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday! Hunter starts the show by diving into that goal and what went into it coming together. He breaks down how the Penguins came into the zone with authority and how Bryan Rust was able to do his patented rush to the net before Malkin cleaned up the garbage. It was Malkin's first goal in 10 games and it got the Penguins winning streak up to six. Hunter looks at how it was one of the only offensive rushes in the third period since both teams were playing lockdown defense. He goes into how this was a low-event game from the start since Dallas was content on its top line creating all of the offense while using the other three to stifle Pittsburgh defensively. After that. Hunter breaks down another outstanding performance from POJ as he continues to prove even more people wrong and how it might be only a matter of time before he gets put on the top pairing. He also analyzes Kris Letang's performance as he continues to get better and better, plus shouts out Tristan Jarry as he's looking more and more like the goalie we saw last season.

The Penguins can thank Jeff Skinner for that win!

It was looking dicey at the end but thanks to Jeff Skinner's stupidity, the Penguins were able to win it in overtime thanks to a power play goal from Jeff Carter. Funny enough, that's where Hunter starts Friday's episode as he looks into what set Skinner off in the final minute of regulation. He goes into how Jake Guentzel made a normal play by going to the net and how Skinner took it way too far with that crosscheck. Will that lead to a big suspension? Does that kind of play need to leave hockey forever? Hunter answers those questions before complimenting the Penguins for not retaliating and sticking to Sullivan's philosophy of "just play" heading into overtime. After that, Hunter analyzes how the Penguins were able to tie the game early on in the third period thanks to Sidney Crosby's great play along the boards. He also praises Brock McGinn for continuing to stay hot and Tristan Jarry for keeping the team in it despite them not playing well for the first 40 or so minutes. He also analyzes what the PP is continuing to do well and how the PK was able to keep the Sabres off the scoresheet...for the most part. Finally, Hunter looks at some issues that the Penguins will need to clean up heading into Saturday's game and why the Dumoulin-Rutta pairing might need to be split up for good.

He also analyzes what the PP is continuing to do well and how the PK was able to keep the Sabres off the scoresheet...for the most part. Finally, Hunter looks at some issues that the Penguins will need to clean up heading into Saturday's game and why the Dumoulin-Rutta pairing might need to be split up for good.

A home-and-home with the Buffalo Sabres is on tabs for the red-hot Pittsburgh Penguins!

Even though Hunter is a little sick, the content never sleeps. Hunter starts Thursday's episode with a full preview of the home-and-home against the Buffalo Sabres and why these matchups are always tricky. He looks at how Tage Thompson has been this season and why he is priority number one for the Penguins if they want to win one, if not both games on the back-to-back. He also looks at some of the other offensive weapons that they have and discusses what the Penguins need to do differently to make sure they don't sleepwalk in the third period again like they did the last time the two teams played. After that, he goes into some practice notes as Kris Letang was welcomed back. When is he going to come back? He then discusses the Penguins' lineup and how there could be a change among the forwards since Josh Archibald wasn't at practice. Also: Which goalie will start in which game?

It's time for Sidney Crosby to get some Hart Trophy love...

The Pittsburgh Penguins continue to stay hot! They took down the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night, 4-1 and they have won eight of their last ten games now. Hunter starts out the show by discussing Sidney Crosby and how he continues to play at an elite level. He goes into what he's projected to hit points and goals-wise and tells everyone why it's time for him to start getting some MVP buzz and more national media attention since he's doing all of this at age 35. After that, he discusses the power play and what it's been doing right over the last week. He looks into the mistakes that have been corrected and why it's really come down to a couple of simple things that they could've been doing all along, but were choosing not to. After that, he analyzes the play of Tristan Jarry and looks at how Bryan Rust might be going on a heater now that he's back to playing strong two-way hockey. Finally, Hunter discusses how this team has another gear to get to even though they continue to rattle off win after win. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Jordan Binnington's antics were the cherry on top for another amazing performance by the Pittsburgh Penguins...

Well, Saturday night was fun, right? Hunter starts out Monday's episode by going over the biggest storyline of the Penguins' 6-2 win over the St. Louis Blues and of course, it was Jordan Binnington making an idiot out of himself. He goes into why this isn't close to the first time that this has happened and why this could lead to a lot of players losing respect for him. He looks at how even Craig Berube told him to stop doing this garbage following the game and how the Penguins' strategy of getting into his kitchen worked to perfection. He then discusses how the Penguins again looked like the much faster team against a heavier team in the Blues and how that favors them with some of the other opponents they have yet to play against this season. After that, Hunter dives into what's driving Kasperi Kapanen's hot streak and how this one could be different if he keeps these habits up. He then continues his strong praise for PO Joseph and how he continues to impress in all three zones before previewing Tuesday night's matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Was that Thursday game the best of the year to date? Plus, let's preview Penguins-Blues!

Well, Hunter is a yinzer now! He comes at yinz with a fresh episode from inside his new place as he recaps the Penguins' thrilling 4-3 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday. He starts with how this was a win where everyone chipped in, whether it was the top six, bottom six, Tristan Jarry, and all of the defensive core. He looks at how the Penguins were able to boat race the Knights at 5v5 since they're a bit of a heavier team compared to how the Penguins rely on speed and skill. After that, he looks at some individual performances that stood out and how could you not love how POJ is playing right now? Hunter uses the eye test and some numbers to back up how much better offensively he's getting and how he continues to look the part of a reliable top-four defenseman. After that, he praises Kasperi Kapanen for coming back from the dead and giving the team a spark with his goal. How many more games did that buy him in the lineup? Could that be the start of him figuring it out? He also breaks down the Rakell goal and how it was vintage Crosby to set it up behind the net while also praising Tristan Jarry for holding the fort in the third period. Finally, Hunter previews Saturday night's tilt against the St. Louis Blues and why the Penguins can't take them lightly, despite their average record. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Here's to a speedy recovery for Kris Letang...

It's a sad start to this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast as Hunter touches on the Kris Letang news. He had another stroke earlier this week and Hunter first focuses on his everyday life aspect, not the hockey aspect. He goes into why it's important for him to be okay to do the everyday things in his life and to be a great husband, dad, and friend before even thinking about getting back onto the ice. He also looks at how this should serve as a reminder to everyone to always tell your loved ones all the time how much you care about them because you never know when something like this can happen. After that, he does look at how this will affect the Penguins in the short and long term since he's a player that's very hard to replace. Who is going to take his minutes? Is replacing him going to come by committee? After that, he previews the Thursday game against the Vegas Golden Knights as this will be one of the toughest tests of the season to date. He looks at how deep Vegas is at both forward and on the backend and why Bruce Cassidy is doing an outstanding job with them. He also looks at some keys for the Penguins to win this game before ending the show with some practice notes and how it's insane that the power play alignment is going to stay the same.

Well, that was an unfortunate loss...

That one will sting for a little bit. Hunter is back for another recap episode as the Penguins dropped a 3-2 heartbreaker to the Hurricanes on Tuesday night. He starts out the show by blasting the NHL officials for somehow missing that penalty on Jarvis in overtime and how that's a textbook boarding call. He then goes at the players on the ice for the Penguins for basically quitting on the play and spending too much time whining to the refs. He explains how the team needs to keep playing in that situation, even though it should've been a penalty. After that, he breaks down the 6-on-5 goal and how the Penguins were FINALLY able to score one. He looks at how patient they were with getting that goal to get the point before looking at some of the negatives, which involved how lost Tristan Jarry was on the second goal. He also blasts Bryan Rust for another poor effort as he's currently having a season to forget thus far. What needs to change for him to bounce back? Finally, he roasts the power play and looks at what the Penguins need to do to get this thing going in the right direction. All that, plus much more on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast.

Getting yinz ready for Penguins-Canes with Jared Ellis of Locked On Canes!

Happy Monday! It's a new week for the Pittsburgh Penguins as their 5-game winning streak got snapped against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Instead of recapping how sad that performance was, Hunter moves forward since the Penguins are doing the same to get you guys ready for Pens-Canes. He welcomes Jared Ellis of Locked on Hurricanes to the show as they preview the first of four matchups between the two teams. They start with the Hurricanes in the first segment as they've been a bit down lately. Hunter ponders why they've lost eight of their last 11 games while also wondering why the Hurricanes are so stingy defensively. Jared also explains why the Hurricanes have their own set of power play opportunities (they're similar to the Penguins) and why some of their depth players have struggled so far. After that, it's Jared's turn to get into the Penguins as he asks what's wrong with the Penguins' PP and what needs to change to get it going. He also ponders how the Penguins continue to stay in contention each year, despite them continuing to get older, plus how they were able to turn their season around over the last few weeks. Finally, the two give their keys to each team coming away with the victory before giving a prediction on how it will play out. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

5 in a row with a chance to make it 6 on Saturday!

The Pittsburgh Penguins continue to stay hot! They went into Philadelphia on Friday night and dismantled the Flyers, 4-1 as they've won their fifth in a row. Hunter starts the show by shouting out the 4th line as it was the main reason the Penguins got the result. He looks at how great Teddy Blueger has been since his return and why he is the glue that makes that line stick. He also praises Ryan Poehling as he continues to look more than just a throw-in for the Petry trade & why that trade is looking really good right now since they originally wanted to trade Blueger in the original offer. He then eats crow on Josh Archibald as he can't stop scoring goals for the 4th line. After that, he goes into more individual performances, including the play of Tristan Jarry and how Sidney Crosby continues to own the Flyers franchise. He also questions if this rivalry has fallen off in recent years due to where the teams have been before ending the show with thoughts on the Winter Classic jersey and a small preview of Saturday night's clash against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

He also questions if this rivalry has fallen off in recent years due to where the teams have been before ending the show with thoughts on the Winter Classic jersey and a small preview of Saturday night's clash against the Toronto Maple Leafs.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

You can't script that Penguins win any better, right?

You really can't script it any better. Evgeni Malkin, on his night, gets the shootout winner to propel the Penguins to victory and the crowd went absolutely NUTS. Hunter starts off the show with that moment as Malkin deked Dan Vladar out of his sockets for the winner and then threw his stick into the crowd. He looks at how this was just a perfect day and a perfect evening for everyone to celebrate his accomplishments over the first 1,000 games of his NHL career. He goes into the ceremony and how it really moved him, plus how he continues to defy his age with how he looks on the ice. After that, he looks at the game overall as the Penguins played a very sound 45 minutes and did just enough in the shootout to come away with the win. He praises the team's defending as it's been much better over the last couple of weeks and gives examples of how the net-front defense in particular was much better. He also analyzes how the Penguins were able to beat the Flames at their own game since Darryl Sutter LOVES low-event hockey, plus shouts out some players individually for some strong performances. Finally, Hunter gets to some listener takeaways as some of the listeners had a couple of fascinating things to say. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Previewing Wednesday's Penguins-Flames clash with Jess Belmosto of Locked On Flames!

Happy Tuesday! The Penguins had an off day but they're getting set to take on their next opponent in the Calgary Flames. This is a team that the Penguins have struggled against over the last couple of seasons and what better way to preview the game than by bringing back Jess Belmosto of Locked On Flames? Hunter has Jess talk all about the Flames in the first segment as they've had similar results to the Penguins over the last couple of weeks. She goes into the losing streak that they had followed by their recent strong play as they try and get back to how they were playing earlier in the season. She also tries to explain why Jonathan Huberdeau is on the third line while also telling the listeners why Jacob Markstrom has been a bit off to start the year (he never is against the Penguins, though). The roles then get reversed in the second segment when Jess flips the script and asks about the Penguins. Hunter goes into how much better the team has been at defending and how they're starting to get goal-scoring from all four lines. He also praises Tristan Jarry and wonders if that last start could be the start of a big rebound from him for the rest of the season and how it's past time for Kris Letang to start playing better. Finally, the two end the show with some keys for each team to win before predicting how the game will go. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Geno gets his night and the Penguins are going streaking!

Was that a perfect back-to-back or what? The Pittsburgh Penguins have won three in a row and five of seven as they are back in the playoff race. Hunter starts the show off with an ode to Evgeni Malkin and how it's been an absolute pleasure to watch him over the last decade and a half. He goes into what his top five Malkin all-time goals are and how much he's meant to this franchise and their fans and the city as a whole. He looked at how everything on Sunday was perfect, from the pregame warmup routine to his son Nikita reading the lineup, his goal, and then the win. After that, he looks at the Blackhawks game as a whole and how the Penguins were able to come out on top, despite not playing their best. He shouts out Sidney Crosby for another tremendous performance as he has bounced back in a big way these last few games. He also looks at how great Brock McGinn continues to play and why he should remain on the third line going forward, plus gives a stick tap to Ryan Poehling as his play has also improved the last few games as well. Finally, he recaps the win over the Winnipeg Jets and how the Penguins played one of their best defensive games of the season. Could that start get Jarry back on track? How does Jason Zucker continue to do it? When will Kris Letang get his game back? All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Yinz ready for another back-to-back?

It's an off day for the Pittsburgh Penguins, but that won't be the case this weekend. The Pittsburgh Penguins have ANOTHER back-to-back set and again, both games are on the road. Hunter starts the show by previewing the game against the Winnipeg Jets as they're off to one heck of a start this season. He looks at what is fueling the start and how a lot of their production is only coming from a select number of players. He also looks at how Rick Bowness has done wonders for this team since taking over and ponders if this team can potentially make the playoffs after numerous pundits (one of them being Hunter) picked them to miss the playoffs. He gives some keys for the Penguins to win and who to watch out for before previewing Sunday's matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks. He touches on how awful the Blackhawks are this year and how there's really no excuse for the Penguins to lose this game, even though they're on a B2B. he goes over the expected lineup that you'll see, plus goes into a disturbing stat about just how bad the Penguins have been in Chicago over the last several years. Finally, Hunter discusses the power play and why they should still make some adjustments (Personnel-wise and strategy-wise) if they want to get this thing back on track.

That's a big road win for the Pittsburgh Penguins...

The Pittsburgh Penguins got a much-needed win on Thursday night and Hunter is here to talk about it. In the first segment, he touches on how this was a great team win as everyone from all four lines contributed. He looks at how both Ryan Poehling and Brock McGinn were able to help out the top six to get the team out in front. Is it as easy as Teddy Blueger being back? Or is there more to it? Hunter also discusses how Sidney Crosby got back to being himself in this one as he opened things up with a goal. Is he going to be the one to lead the team out of this mess? After that, Hunter looks at how POJ has really grown over the course of this season and how he made a number of strong defensive plays to break up quality chances. He also praises Kris Letang for perhaps his best game of the season as he continues to have more of a shoot-first mentality. Finally, he goes into some of the ugly parts of the game, notably the goaltending of Tristan Jarry. How important is it that he gets out of this funk? Does Hunter have confidence that he will?

Looking ahead to Thursday's Penguins-Wild game with Seth Toupal!

Well, Hunter didn't get a good birthday gift on Tuesday, that's for sure. That said, he's brushed off that loss and is ready to look forward as the Penguins start another massive three-game road trip. First up is a date with the Minnesota Wild and what better way to talk about that matchup than to bring Seth Toupal on, who's the host of Locked On Wild. They start going over the Penguins' issues and why they got worse on Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. What's the main culprit right now? Is Sidney Crosby going to get out of this rut? Is it past time to swap Rust and Rakell? Hunter also discusses the lack of scoring depth and how the team continues to get below-average goaltending in their games. After that, they flip to the Wild and touch on how they've struggled this season. What's wrong with their goal-scoring? Do they also have depth issues similar to the Penguins? How has MAF played this year (before he got hurt)? The two also look at if Dean Evason is on the hot seat and if Billy Guerin could make some changes soon before wrapping up with some keys to win for both teams and a prediction.

Can the Penguins get points in four straight games?

Happy Monday! It's Hunter's last day as a 24-year-old, but that doesn't mean the podcast stops. He goes into a full recap of the game against the Canadiens and how the Penguins definitely could've won that game despite being outplayed. He touches on how fatigue and bad defensive play plagued the Penguins in the third period since they were playing their third game in four nights that week, all on the road. That said, the road trip was successful since they did get 5 out of a possible six points. He then gives his best and worst individual player performances from the game before finishing the episode with a full preview of Tuesday's game against the Maple Leafs.

Two wins in a row? Is that allowed?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are fully back...maybe? They got their second win in a row on Friday night and Hunter is here to recap it. He starts the show with how this was another complete team performance by the Penguins and how well they did to respond to adversity. He looks at how they were able to recover from a down second period to dominate the Leafs in the third fully and how that third period was the best he's seen them defend all year. He also praises Casey DeSmith for another strong performance as Mike Sullivan continues giving him more starts since he may not be happy with Jarry's play. He even eats more crow on Brock McGinn after he got his second goal in as many games and now has five points in his last five games. In the second segment, he praises the second line as they were hounding the puck all night. Was this Malkin's best game of the season? How is Jason Zucker's redemption going? After that, he goes into how Brian Dumoulin had a strong game as he continues to get fewer minutes than usual. Finally, he previews the game on Saturday in Montreal as the Penguins try to go for three in a row. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Is the Stanley Cup run back on?!?!

A win? In this economy? Yes, it actually happened as the Pittsburgh Penguins took down the Washington Capitals, 4-1 to snap their seven-game skid. Hunter starts off the show by touching on why this was a great team performance and how EVERYONE chipped in. He looks at how the team got goal-scoring from everywhere (not just the top six for a change) and how that really paved the way toward a win. He then dissects Casey DeSmith's game and looks at how he was able to keep them in the game, especially during those first 5-7 minutes of the first period. Hunter also shouts out the defensive core for really stepping up when Rutta and POJ went down with injuries since that forced other players to play more minutes. After that, Hunter gives his top player performances and starts with two bottom six players. After that, he looks at how Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin led by example, plus how Jeff Petry had his best game in quite a long time. Finally, Hunter gets to the listener takeaways and touches on how Ty Smith could make his Penguins debut if some of these injuries are serious. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Some BIG line shakeups are on the way, plus a preview of Pens-Caps!

Oh boy, there are A LOT of changes that were made at Penguins practice on Tuesday. Hunter starts the show with some new-look lines and pairings as Mike Sullivan has had enough of the same old stuff. What did he do to the forward lines? Is Rakell back up with Crosby? Is Hallander getting the nod over Kapanen? He then looks at the defense and why Marcus Pettersson deserves this shot with Kris Letang. He looks at the numbers from MP28 so far to show the listeners just how good he's been at providing offense and limiting chances against. He then discusses why POJ also rightfully got a promotion while then discussing the logic for why Brian Dumoulin got moved down to the third pairing. Will he easily crush those minutes? Could it be a similar situation to how good Mike Matheson was in the last two seasons? After that, Hunter previews the game against the Washington Capitals, a team that has also struggled a lot this season. He looks at how banged up they are, especially at forward, and how the Penguins can exploit that on Wednesday. Hunter also gives some keys to victory for the Penguins as this rivalry is always must-watch on television. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Why the Penguins are THIS close to snapping the streak...

I know, I know, it's another loss. Still, there are some positive things to take from it! That's precisely what Hunter starts with regarding Monday's show. He looks at the positives of the loss on Saturday and how the Penguins deserved a lot better. He looks at how they dominated territorially and how it just came down to Martin Jones playing his tail off against the Penguins yet again. He then discusses the core players and how they've been doing everything for the team lately. He points out that they can't be blamed for this losing streak because they're the ones who have shown up and are continuing to justify their cap hits. After that, he looks at the bottom six and why it's a unit that continues to fail. He touches on why nobody outside of Josh Archibald has been scoring down there as of late and how that needs to change in a big way if the Penguins want to turn this around. He then addresses the Jeff Petry struggles and why he thinks that eventually, it IS going to turn around. Still, he does have some blame for Ron Hextall because he hasn't done enough to fill out this team to the best of his abilities. Finally, Hunter examines the lineup and what changes Mike Sullivan could make for Wednesday's game against Washington. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Can the Pittsburgh Penguins snap out of this funk against the Kraken?

Happy Friday! Hunter starts off the episode by previewing Saturday's massive matchup against the Seattle Kraken as the Penguins look to get their first win in over a week. He looks at Seattle's lines and who to be on the lookout for before giving some keys for the Penguins to come away with the win. He then looks at some awesome stats heading into this game and how Sidney Crosby has the chance to make more NHL history with his 900th assist. After that, Hunter shifts his attention to the Penguins lineup and what some potential changes could be. Is Brian Dumoulin going to come off the top pairing? Is Teddy Blueger set to make his return? If so, could that one really help the PK as much as some think it could? Hunter also looks at why Bryan Rust and Rickard Rakell should be swapped again since Crosby has been better with Rakell this season, and ditto for Rust with Malkin. Finally, Hunter ends the show with an ode to Jaromir Jagr and his response to Jason Zucker's salute and then he gives his thoughts on the very troubling news surrounding the Boston Bruins on Friday with the signing of Mitchell Miller and why it's another bad look for hockey.

Rob Rossi joins the show to talk ALL about the Penguins struggles

It's an off day and one that was badly needed for the Pittsburgh Penguins. With that, Hunter is joined by Rob Rossi of The Athletic and they go all into the Penguins' struggles. They first touch on Brian Dumoulin and what the Penguins can do to help him out. Should he get bottom-pairing minutes? Is he going to be scratched by Mike Sullivan? If he comes off the top pairing, who should replace him? After that, the two look at Jeff Petry's season so far and why the Penguins need A LOT more out of him. Is he going to figure it out? What's missing from his game? The two then look at the struggles of the special team's units and what the Penguins need to do to correct them (especially the PK). Hunter wonders if the PK just figures it out, then that could get this machine rolling once again. Rob also makes a great suggestion about who the Penguins should run their power play through more often before they look at the goaltending struggles. What does Casey DeSmith struggle the most with? Is Tristan Jarry going to get back in form? Finally, the two end the show with a discussion on the supporting cast as a whole, plus a look at if the Fenway Sports Group could consider a management change if this continues.

Another game, and another blown lead...

Things just keep going from bad to worse for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Hunter recaps another loss for this team as it's now six in a row after ANOTHER multi-goal blown lead. He goes into what happened in that third period and how the Penguins just didn't get good enough goaltending again. He breaks down the two goals that the Sabres scored early in the period and how DeSmith was way out of position before looking at another elephant in the room: Brian Dumoulin. What does the team do with him? Should he be sheltered? Scratched? Traded? Hunter gives his answer on what he'd do before looking at what the team will most likely do since they value him a lot. He then looks at how a lot of the fringe roster players & some of the acquisitions during the offseason just aren't doing enough to help the core. After that, he has an honest discussion about Mike Sullivan and how he's likely not on the hot seat before looking at how Ron Hextall's heat should be getting warmer.

Oh we have A LOT to talk about when it comes to the Pittsburgh Penguins...

Oh, things are bad, folks. Hunter is back to recap the full Penguins collapse against the Boston Bruins as they again couldn't hold a third-period lead. He starts with the goaltending as Tristan Jarry had perhaps the worst game of his season. He goes into how he needed to make a save for the team, especially during the overtime session after the Penguins failed to score on the power play. He also looks at how sluggish he's been the last few games and how he's not playing as aggressively as he should be. After that, he looks at some poor personnel decisions in the late stages of the third period, including putting Brian Dumoulin out there for a 6-on-5. What should the Penguins do about him? Will they do anything? Hunter tries his best to answer those questions before he rambles on about how there's too much "dead weight" in this lineup right now. After that, he takes some listener takeaways before doing a small preview for Wednesday night's game against the Buffalo Sabres. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Two MASSIVE games on tap for your Pittsburgh Penguins!

The Pittsburgh Penguins are back in action on Friday night as they're set to take on the Vancouver Canucks! Hunter is here to give yinz the full lowdown on them and why they are NOT to be underestimated. He goes into the elite talent that they have and how they can burn anyone in the blink of an eye. He also looks at how the Penguins can use their rest to their advantage, especially since the Canucks just played on Thursday night. He looks at how well the team has played against them over the years & how that could be a factor heading into this game before touching on the big keys for them to come out victorious. After that, Hunter previews the game on Saturday against the Seatle Kraken as that will be the end of the team's road trip. He looks at how they're basically the West Coast version of the Penguins with how many former penguins there are on it while also making the argument that the Penguins should be favored, despite it being back-to-back. He looks at the keys to taking them down (especially goalies-wise) before ending the show with a fun report about Evgeni Malkin changing his number during the last year of his career.

No, the sky is not falling for your Pittsburgh Penguins...

Yes, it's a bit late, but we have another episode out for today! Hunter recaps the woeful 4-1 Penguins' loss to the Flames and he first starts out with the goaltending...but this time it's in a bad way. He goes into how Casey DeSmith was great at the start before he let in a couple of stinkers, which thwarted the Penguins' comeback attempt. He breaks down the first goal and why he needed to get his stick in the way to prevent it from getting to Nazem Kadri before going into how he looked small and out of place on the Huberdeau and Stone goals. He then gets into just how bad the top pairing and Sidney Crosby were as they looked like they had nothing all game. In fact, the only main player that he shouts out for playing well was Evgeni Malkin. After that, he dissects Sam Poulin's debut and how he should get more games moving forward, especially with the injuries. It's time to see what the team has in him. Finally, he looks at how this losing streak is nothing to worry about and compares this start to the one they had last season. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Looking back on Monday night's loss & previewing Tuesday night's Pens-Flames matchup with Jess Belmosto!

The Pittsburgh Penguins definitely got what they deserved on Monday night. That said, there's another game on tonight for the Penguins, and what better way to preview it than to have Jessw Belmosto of Locked On Flames on for it! The two do a special crossover as Jess catches everyone up on how the Flames have been to start the season. She goes into the new players that they acquired over the offseason and how Brad Treliving did all he could to replace Tkachuk and Gaudreau. She also looks at how Jacob Markstrom has done this season (he killed the Penguins last season). Following that, Hunter goes into the Penguins through six games and touches on their most recent loss to the Edmonton Oilers. What went wrong for them after the 1st period? Who needs to step it up in order for the Penguins to bounce back? He also looks at how Casey DeSmith could be a difference-maker for this one since he's in line to get the start. Finally, the two give some keys to victory for both of the teams before they give a prediction on how it will go. All that, plus much more on this special edition of Locked On Penguins.

Another BIG comeback by the Penguins on Saturday, plus a preview of what's next!

The Pittsburgh Penguins are playing like one of the best teams in hockey right now! Hunter goes over their come-from-behind win against the Columbus Blue Jackets to start today's show and first starts with Tristan Jarry. He was the star of the show yet again as he kept the Penguins within striking distance to make a comeback. He goes over the saves that he made when they were getting swarmed in the first period and how he has a swagger to his game right now that he's never had before. After that, he looks at some other individual player performances that really stood out, one of which was Sidney Crosby. He looks at how every goalie is doomed once he goes down to one knee and how he's crushed the Jackets throughout his career. He also touches on how he could be making a play for the Hart Trophy if he keeps this up. He also praises Josh Archibald for a strong performance on the 4th line, plus is amazed at how much offense Jan Rutta has brought to the team through five games. Finally, he previews the game against the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night and gives a few keys for how the Penguins can extend their winning streak.

Now THAT is a bounce-back win for the Pittsburgh Penguins!

The Pittsburgh Penguins needed to respond after Monday night's showing and boy did they ever. They got off to a slow start but they gave the Kings a 6-1 drubbing before this was all said and done. Hunter starts this recap episode by looking at how the goaltending on both sides was the biggest reason why the Penguins won this game. He looks at Tristan Jarry's performance and how he was able to keep the Penguins in it during the first period and all of the timely saves that he made throughout. He then flips the script and looks at how the Los Angeles Kings got putrid goaltending from both Cal Peterson and Jonathan Quick that gave the Penguins this win. After that, he goes into some of the players who had much better performances compared to Monday's game. He looks at Jeff Petry & how we're already starting to see how much of an upgrade he is on the second pairing before transitioning over to the entire top line. Was that vintage Sidney Crosby that we just watched? He also breaks down Guentzel's third goal of the season & how it was a classic Guentzel goal before shouting out Kris Letang, Jeff Carter, and Brian Dumoulin for much better performances. Finally, Hunter ends the show with Mike Sullivan's 300th win & how this team continues to play super hard for him while also taking a listener takeaway. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Los Angeles Kings present another big test for the Pittsburgh Penguins!

We're getting closer to the fourth game of the season for the Pittsburgh Penguins. In this episode, Hunter starts off by updating the listeners on some practice notes & if Teddy Blueger is getting close to his return. Was he back in a regular jersey during practice? Was he doing regular line rushes or working on the PK? Hunter answers those questions and then brings up what will happen when Blueger returns. He also looks at which goaltender will likely start against the Kings before diving into a preview for that matchup. How much has the Kevin Fiala trade meant to the Kings so far? Is a Kopitar-Danault punch down the middle one of the best in the league? He answers those while also looking at the keys for the Penguins to come away victorious in this one, especially since they lost both games against the Kings last season. Finally, Hunter ends the show with a look ahead to the weekend where the Penguins will start a week-long trip. Just how important is this stretch that's coming up? Which players will likely bounce back during this stretch (starting on Thursday)? All of that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Penguins got what they deserved on Monday night...

Well, there's no more 82-0 season! The Penguins fell to the Canadiens in overtime on Monday night and Hunter is here to talk all about it. He goes over the goals that were scored first and how Evgeni Malkin continues to have a fire lit within him. He then breaks down what went wrong on the tying goal and then the game-winner. He shows his screen and is able to analyze who is in the wrong in each sequence and what each player should've been doing, especially on the tying goal from Caufield. Hunter also looks at the personnel that as used to defend the lead late in regulation and then during the PK in overtime. Should Mike Sullivan have opted for some different players? Who could've done a better job? After that, Hunter keeps it objective and goes after the top line, along with Kris Letang for their poor performances, even though they'll likely be better on Thursday against the Kings. He then has some positive things to look back on for this game, including the play of POJ, Casey DeSmith's great saves, and Malkin's beast mode gem. Finally, Hunter ends the show with some thoughts about how there isn't much to worry about right now and that this team is still in a great spot. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

A dominant performance on Saturday, plus a preview of what's to come!

It's a Penguins Game Day yet again! Before Hunter gets to that though, he starts the show with a recap of Saturday's 6-2 thrashing of the Tampa Bay Lightning. He goes into how the team turned it up a notch after the Bolts scored an early power-play goal and never looked back. He touches on Sidney Crosby & how he continues to lead by example (he also is tied for the most points in the league right now) and how he had a vintage goal to knot the game up for a brief period. He also praises Danton Heinen's unbelievable individual effort on the second goal & how he's doing all of this on a massive discount. Hunter also loved what he saw from both special team's units and broke down what he saw from the ice level and how the PK changed some things after the Stamkos goal. Also: Who were Hunter's individual player standouts? He gets into those and how this team could be cooking with gas if a couple more tweaks are made before finishing the show with a preview for Monday's game against the Canadiens. Is Montreal better than some people give them credit for? Who are the players to watch out for in this matchup? All that, plus a lot more in today's episode of Locked On Penguins.

A true test comes next for the Pittsburgh Penguins...

Happy Friday, Penguins fans! The Pittsburgh Penguins are set to take on the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday evening and Hunter has a full game preview for yinz. He starts the show with how the Lightning looked against the New York Rangers & how it was pretty similar to their performance against the Penguins in the first game of the season last year. He then looks at their lines and what fans should expect to see, plus how they may not have one of their best players playing since they also play on Friday night. Hunter also goes over some of the recent history between these two teams and how the Penguins have fared against the Lightning. Who are some players that have played well against the Lightning? Is Jason Zucker going to continue his hot start? Is Teddy Blueger going to be in the lineup? All that, plus a scoop on the RoboPenguin jersey, on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

A very professional performance by the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight!

That's one way to start the season! Hunter goes into the Penguins' 6-2 thrashing of the Arizona Coyotes and starts with the goal scorers to open this episode. Yes, he took the L with Sidney Crosby scoring the first goal and not Rickard Rakell. He breaks down just how great of a pass that was from Jake Guentzel and how those two seem to be in midseason form ALREADY. He then breaks down the Jason Zucker goal & goes into how much more confident he looked as the game went on. Is this a sign of things to come for him? Where was he firing the puck from on most of his shots? After that, he praises the power play for looking really crisp, especially with the passing and the zone entries. Did anything new stick out about the unit? Even though there were a lot of positives, he does have to touch on the negatives, though there were mainly 2: The play of the 4th line and some errors from POJ. He goes over how each can correct their mistakes moving forward and what he wants to see more of. Other topics discussed: Kasperi Kapanen's growing confidence, Evgeni Malkin's masterful performance, Tristan Jarry's sharp form, and of course, YOUR LISTENER TAKEAWAYS!

Previewing the Penguins-Coyotes game, plus a look at the lines and pairings!

Opening night for the Pittsburgh Penguins is right around the corner! Hunter starts the show off by looking at the lines and pairings that you'll likely see heading into the game, plus gives an update on Teddy Blueger. Is he expected to suit up? Did he suffer a setback? WHo's in for him if he can't go? He then looks at the line that intrigues him the most heading into the season since it could be a total wild card. He then looks at how POJ is going to be given a chance to try and take a roster spot now that Ty Smith is down in the AHL (for now). What will he have to do in order to do that? Hunter answers that question before getting into the special team units that you'll see tomorrow. After that, he does a full preview of the game against the Coyotes. Yes, this team is going to STINK. He dives into the numbers and looks at their depth chart to show the fans that this team is set up to tank. What will the Penguins need to do to win this game? How can they attack Arizona's weak defense? Hunter answers those questions before finishing the show with some NHL predictions for this season! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

What happens when you combine two Pittsburgh Penguin podcasts?

Another day means another guest for the Locked On Penguins podcast. Or should we say guests? Hunter is joined by Nick Brlansky and Nick Horwat from the Tip Of The Ice-Burgh podcast to discuss all things Pittsburgh Penguins as the regular season starts in 2 DAYS. They first get into their observations from training camp and the preseason since both got to be up at Cranberry and had a couple of the preseason games. After that, they discuss the POJ-Ty Smith situation and how it's genuinely sink or swim time for POJ. What do they want more out of him this season? When could we see Ty Smith up with the big club? Brlansky also shouts out Sidney Crosby as he looks as crisp as ever heading into 18th NHL season and how he could be in for a monster season. Hunter also gets some bold predictions from them (there's one from Brlansky that may make you faint) before they predict what will happen league-wide this season. What are their Stanley Cup picks? How does Hunter's differ? Finally, to end the show, they discuss Kasperi Kapanen & how this is probably the biggest season of his career.

Jesse Marshall is BACK for a full Pittsburgh Penguins season preview!

We have made it to the week of the regular season! With that, comes some guests and that started on Monday with Jesse Marshall joining the show. The two touch on the 23-man roster and if Ty Smith will start the season in WBS or if the team can make a move to get him up to the varsity club after having a great preseason. If not, what are Jesse's thoughts on PO Joseph? Is it sink or swim time for him? What does he want to see more from POJ as he starts his first full season? They also go into the forward depth and if Jesse has any concerns about it. Does he think the 4th line needs more offense? Could DOC be on the team full-time by the end of the year over Archibald and Poehling? The two also have a great discussion about the penalty kill heading into the season and if there could be some new wrenches thrown in. What does he think about Kasperi Kapanen being on the unit? Other topics discussed: Jeff Petry & how he'll play a big role in getting Evgeni Malkin to have a great year, BOLD predictions for the season, who scores the first goal on Thursday, Jan Rutta & how he will eat third pairing minutes alive, etc. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Yinz ready for the regular season?!

The preseason is finally over! The Pittsburgh Penguins dismantled the Buffalo Sabres, 7-1 on Friday night to end the preseason as the regular season is only a few days away! Hunter goes into who stood out in this game and he has to start with Ty Smith. He marvels at how good he was with the puck and how he looked to be in rookie form in this one. He makes the argument that if the Penguins can get this level from Ty Smith during the season, they'll win the Marino trade. Oh yeah, if he's not in the top six to start the season, there's a BIG problem. He then looks at how well Jake Guentzel and Sidney Crosby played (water is wet) before addressing Danton Heinen's beautiful goal. He breaks it down and shows how flashy he is with the puck. Is he going to score 18-20 this season or will he be closer to 12-15? Hunter gives his prediction for that before going into POJ's performance. Was this his last gasp? Did he do enough to earn a spot on this year's team? Could both he and Mark Friedman get waived before the season starts? All that, plus MUCH more on this episode of Locked On Penguins!

Why the Penguins HAVE TO be better in OT & Shootouts this season

There is only 1 week until the season, yinz! We have just about made it. Hunter starts the show by going into a couple of roster moves that were made by the Penguins as the team is starting to come into shape. After that, he looks at how the Penguins were practicing a lot of OT & shootouts stuff during camp on Wednesday & how they NEED TO be better in those sessions. He goes over the issues that plagued them last season in those extra sessions (especially the shootouts) and why those extra points are so valuable when you get to the end of the season. What does he want to see more of in the shootout? What about not being dull in OT? After that, he previews the final game of the preseason against the Buffalo Sabres and gives a full prediction on what the lineup will likely look like. Will POJ get into this game? Is this his final chance to show the staff that he belongs on this team? What about Sam Poulin? Finally, to end the show, he wishes a couple of very happy birthdays to Mario Lemieux and Jake Guentzel and again argues that Mario is the greatest player in NHL history.

Thoughts & observations from the Penguins 3-2 preseason win!

We're almost done with the preseason, yinz. Hunter fully recaps the Penguins' 3-2 preseason win from Monday night and there was A LOT to like. He goes over the goals that were scored (two on the power play) and what he liked about each. What changes about the PP were noticeable? Will those basic mechanics be a mainstay during the regular season? He also praises Jason Zucker for his goal and again goes over one of his BOLD predictions for him heading into this season. After that, he shouts out Casey DeSmith for his tremendous performance as he looks to be ready for the season. What could this mean for limiting Jarry's starts? Does he have a different swagger to him compared to last year? He then goes over some "concerns" about the bottom pairing and how some of them are pretty similar to how fans felt when the Matheson-Ceci pairing was rolled out. After that, he gets into a scenario where the Penguins could be in a cap crunch to open the season and then finishes the show with who has the edge between Poehling and Archibald for that 12th forward spot.

It's now the last week of full episodes without regular season games! Hunter has a special episode on Monday as he joins Russ and Rachel of Locked On Flyers to discuss everything relating to the Penguins. They go into the Penguins' offseason moves and get Hunter's overall thoughts on Ron Hextall's summer before jumping into some camp stuff. Could Ryan Poehling give a bit more than expected this season? Is the loss of Radim Zohorna that big of a deal for the Penguins? He discusses both of those questions with the hosts before they touch on the defensive situation. Is it right for the Penguins to be shopping POJ? Is the fanbase overvaluing him a little bit? Hunter gives his take on both of those questions before discussing how he can see Ty Smith having a big year (like Matheson did last year). He also discusses the Mike Sullivan extension and what that means for the short and long-term future of the franchise. All that, plus much more, on this episode of Locked On Penguins!

Jack Bond of Locked On Bets joins the show to talk ALL things Penguins!

Happy Thursday! This is a bit of a different episode today as Jack Bond, who contributes for Locked On Bets, joins the show for the first time. The two discuss some Penguins bets for this season and why he's really high on a big season from Sidney Crosby, especially when it comes to his points. He also has some good odds for the Penguins to win the Eastern Conference and explains why he thinks this team is being overlooked by a lot of people heading into the 2022-23 season. He also looks at Jake Guentzel and if he has a chance to hit 50 goals before getting into Mike Sullivan's odds for the Jack Adams. Is this the year that he finally gets the respect that he deserves? Jack also gives some league-wide bets that he likes this season and tells the listeners to keep an eye on a couple of select Penguin players who could have big seasons for them.

The Penguins are starting to separate the regulars from the prospects!

Happy Wednesday! The Penguins were back practicing and as always, there is lots to discuss. Hunter dives into a couple of expected roster cuts that were made on Wednesday before going into a couple of other player performances from Tuesday night. He first touches on Jeff Petry and why it wasn't the best debut for him. He looks at his struggles in the defensive zone, plus his $5K fine that he got from the NHL on Wednesday morning. Was it a play that he actually should've been fined for? After that, he goes a bit more positive with Radim Zohorna and why it feels like it's now or never for him at this point. The second segment then dives into some of the practice lines and how the Penguins are starting to split up the main roster from the WBS roster. Hunter looks at Josh Archibald and if it's right for him to clearly have a place in that group, even though some younger players have looked a bit better at camp (same with Zohorna in a way). He advocates for Drew O'Connor and Drake Caggiula to join that group since he likes their upside heading into the season. Finally, he breaks down the rest of the lines and how it's clear that Ty Smith is starting to become the favorite to win that No. 6 defenseman job.

Oh no, the Penguins looked bad in a preseason game! The horror...

Tuesday night wasn't a kind one to the Pittsburgh Penguins as they fell to the Detroit Red Wings, 6-2. Thankfully though, it was just a preseason game. Hunter is joined by Doug Glattke of Penguins Twitter and of ForecheckingTv as they break down the positives and negatives of the performance. They first start with Brock McGinn as he scored a gorgeous goal to open the scoring. How important is it that he has a bounce-back season this year? What plagued him down the stretch last year? They also discuss the performances of Jason Zucker and Bryan Rust as they both continued to look stellar. Following that, they get into some of the negatives, starting with the special teams. What are the biggest issues with the power play right now? What needs to change so that it's more consistent this season? They then ask the same questions about the PK before touching on the D. They both loved Ty Smith's performance but are concerned about where Brian Dumoulin is right now. Could they have to trade for his replacement during the season if his play doesn't improve?

Who stood out in the Penguins first two preseason games?

Penguins hockey is back, baby (even though it's only preseason). Hunter starts the show off by recapping the team's first preseason game and who stood out the most to him. He looks at Jason Zucker's goal and how he was able to pull that off, while also hoping that the team gets more of that during the regular season. He also assesses Drew O'Connor's performance, as well as Sam Poulin's. Has Poulin been more noticeable as of late? What does that mean for his chances of making the team? How was Ty Smith in his Penguins debut? He also assesses him and then looks at how Casey DeSmith played in his first game since he got hurt in the playoffs. Following that, he recaps the second preseason game, and yeah, it went the way everyone expected. Was Danton Heinen the best player on the ice? How was Ryan Poehling's debut? Does Josh Archibald need to do a bit more to secure his spot on the team? He then breaks some news about a couple of roster cuts before giving his thoughts on the players that will be playing on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings.

Who is off to a great start at camp? Plus thoughts on Ron Hextall's presser

We're 2 days into training camp and it's been great to have hockey back. Hunter starts the show with some quick thoughts on who has gotten off to a good start at camp, especially in the scrimmages. He goes into Jason Zucker and how he looks rejuvenated out there, plus how Drake Caggiula is making the most when he's played with Evgeni Malkin & Bryan Rust. He also looks at how it's likely that Rust starts the year with Malkin and Rakell starts with Crosby. Would that be the right move? Hunter looks at the data supporting both to see, while also looking at other combinations that the Penguins have used so far. After that, he dives into Ron Hextall's comments and how the Penguins could still make a trade over the next few weeks. while also giving an interesting comment on POJ. Finally, Hunter ends the show with some thoughts on the two preseason games ahead and a few other players who have stood out thus far. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Training Camp is finally here, plus some BOLD predictions!

Happy Wednesday! Training camp is right on the horizon and Hunter starts the show by discussing what he's most looking forward to seeing at camp. Does he want to see how the new guys perform? What about that 12th-forward spot competition? Do any goaltenders need to have good camps? Does it matter if Kasperi Kapanen has a good camp after what happened last season? Those are some of the questions that Hunter potentially answers in this segment before getting to the BOLD prediction segment. He gives five bold predictions for the 2022-2023 Pittsburgh Penguins and yes, some of them may make you spit your water out or have you fall out of your chair. Finally, Hunter reacts to the Locked On NHL Coaching power rankings and whether Mike Sullivan is in the right spot. He also tells the listeners who he voted for before finishing with why it's unlikely Sullivan will again get any consideration for the award, even though he should probably be a finalist for it each season.

Should we read into any of the scrimmage lines?

Happy Tuesday! Hunter's voice is still a bit groggy but hey, it's a process. He starts the show by going into the Penguins training camp schedule for the next couple of weeks and when you can watch them at the UPMC Complex. Hunter gives the schedule for the first day of camp on Thursday and then does so for the next week before going into when training camp ends. He also touches on how a lot of the top players will be split into different "teams" to make it competitive, especially in the scrimmages. After that, he goes into the lines that we saw for a scrimmage between some of the Penguins regulars on Tuesday (and yes, we are reading into it just a little :). He looks at some lines that you'll likely see this season while looking at some others that could be used that have some potential. Finally, Hunter ends the show by discussing the three players that retired from the league on Tuesday. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Which Penguins prospects balled out during Sunday's game?

Hunter is finally back...again. He's still recovering from COVID-19 but is definitely feeling good enough to churn out content again. He starts the show by going into the Penguins prospects challenge game from Sunday (yes, that happened for those watching the Steelers). He looks at who stood out the most in the Penguins' 6-4 win and if those players can carry that over into camp. He also looks at how Filip Lindberg played in his first game action since getting hurt about 10 months ago. After that, he gets into Rob Rossi's story on the RoboPenguin and thanks him for confirming the scoop (only a little :-), excellent reporting Rob!) He looks at what the jersey could look like and how many games the Penguins could wear it for this season before thinking about if the team will bring an original one back after this one is done. Finally, Hunter breaks down the Sonny Milano to Calgary news and wishes that the Penguins would've done that since it was basically free (until they have to move out space).

Is there a lot of intrigue heading into camp?

Training camp is officially a week away! The season is a month away! This offseason has flown by, and Hunter starts the episode by going into Evan Rodrigues and why he's expected to be a great fit with the Colorado Avalanche. He looks at what he will bring to their lineup and why a select number of Penguins fans will miss him more than they think.

Is there a lot of intrigue heading into camp?

Training camp is officially a week away! The season is a month away! This offseason has flown by, and Hunter starts the episode by going into Evan Rodrigues and why he's expected to be a great fit with the Colorado Avalanche. He looks at what he will bring to their lineup and why a select number of Penguins fans will miss him more than they think. Following that, he looks at the battles that could take place during camp and why there's not as much intrigue compared tto the last couple of years.

Was it the right call to not move Jason Zucker?

Yes, Hunter is on vacation but the content NEVER sleeps. He starts the episode off by touching on the Penguins training camp roster and if there were any surprises that came from it. He also gets into a quick rumor on Evan Rodrigues from Elliotte Friedman before moving to some Jason Zucker talk. He touches on Dave Molinari's report and how the Penguins almost pulled the trigger on a deal for Zucker but decided against it. What did the agreement look like? Was it wise for the Penguins to keep him? Is he in line for a big year? He also touches on how it would hurt the depth if he left since the next winger on the depth chart would be...Danton Heinen. Finally, he goes over the Penguins' national TV schedule for this upcoming season and why it's great for the league that they'll be televised more. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Are the Penguins still in on Evan Rodrigues? Does Brian Burke see anymore moves?

Hello there and Happy Tuesday! We are back to regularly scheduled programming this week as Hunter is feeling A LOT better with mental health and stuff. He starts the show going into the latest on Brian Burke's comments to Dave Molinari and whether or not the team will make another move this offseason. He also looks at what Burke said about if the unit is better this season, plus how teams continue to call the Penguins about their defensemen. Following that, he goes into how the Penguins are still looking at Evan Rodrigues and how they need to clear space to sign him. He also touches on if it would be the right call to bring him back, especially since the forward group would be basically the same as it was last year. Finally, he ends the show with some Ty Smith talk and why he's going to surprise a lot of people this season. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Mike Sullivan gets extended...and rightfully so!

The Pittsburgh Penguins surprised everyone on Tuesday with an extension for Mike Sullivan! This new extension will start in a couple of years and will take him all the way until 2027 (if he's still here). Hunter goes into the extension and what it means for the present and future, plus shoots down this wild opinion that the Penguins shouldn't have made this move because "they've lost in the first round four straight years." He looks at the real reasons they've lost, and he always puts a winning formula forward, even if the team doesn't always win. He also looks at how much Sidney Crosby and the entire Penguins core respect him, which is something that hasn't always been the case in this era with other coaches. He then discusses how much confidence the front office and especially the new ownership has in him, based on their statements, and how he's one of a few coaches who probably has a "lifetime" contract with his respective team. Finally, he wraps the show up with news and notes around the league from the last couple of days. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Who is the favorite for that 12th forward spot?

Happy Thursday! Hunter starts the episode with another RoboPenguin update as Icetetics is reporting that the jersey is going to have a gold gradient. Is that what the Penguins should be doing? Hunter dives into that report and voices some displeasure over it since it would kinda ruin the logo in a way. He looks at how there have been too many plain gold jerseys as of late for the Penguins and how they need to change it up a little bit (just don't go for a blue jersey). After that update, he looks at the race for the 12th forward spot and who has the inside edge heading into training camp and the preseason. Is it Drew O'Connor? Is it Ryan Poehling? What about Drake Caggiula or Josh Archibald? He looks at who the best option is for the team in that spot and how the player can potentially contribute in more than one way. Also: Is it a given that DOC makes the team? Hunter goes into that as well before ending the show with some Jeff Carter talk. He dives into what Carter needs to do next season in order to be more consistent, plus looks at if 3C is still the best position for him at this stage in his career.

Yes I am back! Catching up on everything Penguins related...

Yes, Hunter is back with a fresh new episode of Locked On Penguins. After a few days of taking care of some personal things, Hunter starts the show by addressing the Mike Vellucci extension and what it means for the team going forward. He looks at his work with the forwards over the last couple of years, while also looking at what needs to change with the PK going into next season. Hunter makes a case for a few select forwards to take some reps with the unit (one of them was really good at it when he was in Toronto) while also wanting Vellucci to not change the entire strategy in a playoff series. After that, he goes into Teddy Blueger's crazy night in Da Beauty League as he had four goals and seven points, while also getting into a...fight? What?! Yep, you read that right. He's had a great summer and there are some higher expectations for him this season. He then goes into the Paul Stastny signing and why it would've made a lot of sense for the Penguins if they had the money for it. Finally, he discusses the big elephant in the room...THE ROBOPENGUIN! He gives a few updates on it and looks at what the Penguins should do with the reverse retro jersey now that the design was leaked. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

This Todd Reirden extension makes A LOT of sense for the Penguins...

There was FINALLY some news regarding the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday. Hunter dives into the Todd Reirden extension and promotion and why it does make sense for the Penguins going forward. He looks at his track record with Kris Letang since he came back, plus what he did with Mike Matheson after Jim Rutherford acquired him just a couple of years ago. He looks at what he could do with Petry even though he's a bit older, plus how the entire organization respects him as he's continued to grow since he got fired from Washington. He finishes the segment up with the power play discussion and why there are numerous reasons that it'll get back to where it normally is next season. After that, Hunter analyzes the Sean Monahan salary dump trade and shows the fans how prices are sky-high to move out bad contracts. What does this mean for the Penguins? Could a depth D trade be their only way out of the logjam? Why are prices so high right now? Finally, he ends the show with some way-too-early trade candidates for next season when the team is likely looking for some forward help towards the deadline. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Looking at the top 5 best moments from last season for the Pittsburgh Penguins...

It's a bit late on Wednesday but hey, better late than never, right? Hunter starts out the show with some quick thoughts on Jack Johnson signing with the Chicago Blackhawks before ranking the top five best moments/games from the Penguins season. Yes, one of them is the Opening Night game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, but a couple of them might surprise you. For instance, he leaves Jake's 40-goal game out for something else. After that, he gives the top five games that he's most looking forward to this season, which also has some surprises. There aren't a lot of divisional games on this list, something that Hunter hasn't done in years. Finally, he looks at if Mike Sullivan's expiration date could be coming if the Penguins don't get results in the playoffs (I hope to god that it does not).

Grading Ron Hextall's offseason to date, with some help from Evolving Hockey!

Happy Tuesday! Hunter is back with a new episode of Locked On Penguins and he starts the show by looking at where the Penguins ranked in "average contract value added per team," from Evolving Wild. He explains how it works and what they're evaluating before giving his kudos to Ron Hextall for getting a lot of great things done (No, this doesn't factor in trades and whatnot). He reminds everyone that there could be more to come, even with training camp just a month away. The Penguins still have 9 NHL defensemen, after all. After that, Hunter looks at the NHL Network's top 20 centers and why they mostly got it right regarding Sidney Crosby & Evgeni Malkin. He touches on who he'd move those two players over in their respective spots (not many) before ending the show with a thought about Jeff Petry. He explains why he's a lot more confident in Petry's ability to handle top pairing minutes if something happened to Kris Letang this season where he's out for a few games.

What does a Jake Guentzel contract extension look like?

Happy Friday. Yes, it's now mid-August but the content NEVER sleeps. (I also apologize for the meh audio today, the mic spazzed out for some reason). Hunter starts the show by discussing what a contract extension looks like for Jake Guentzel. Yes, he's still two years away from becoming a UFA but that will fly by. He looks at Filip Forsberg as a comp since they're right around the same age (though Forsberg came into the league a bit quicker than Guentzel did. He gives his rough estimate of what the Penguins would likely pay him, and he tries to give a number that the Penguins could refuse (it would be very hard for them to do that). He also does point out the risk in those sorts of deals before pivoting to Johan Larsson leaving for Sweden. Hunter touches on why a deal with the Penguins was likely nixed before looking up Larsson's numbers and being confused as to how no team wanted to give him anything. Finally, Hunter ends the show by catching up with a few Penguin players playing in "Da Beauty League" in Minnesota as it's a summer league for a great cause.

Should Tristan Jarry be extended this offseason or during the season?

Happy Thursday! Hunter starts off the show by wishing his condolences to Ben Stelter, the young Oilers fan who lost his life due to brain cancer earlier this week before getting into the meat of the episode. After that, he brings up the debate on if the Penguins should wait to extend Tristan Jarry after the season or if they should just get it out of the way now. He looks at his numbers from the past couple of years to see what AAV he could get followed by what he still needs to see in Jarry to feel comfortable about an extension right now. He then gives his stance on it, even though the goalie market next year isn't that good before touching on some Metro power rankings. How do the Penguins currently stack up to the rest of the Metro teams? Are they still squarely a playoff team heading into next season? Which teams have improved vs which teams have not? Finally, Hunter looks at some other pending UFAs on the Penguins and gives his thoughts on if the Penguins should have any extension talks with them.

How is Sidney Crosby 35 now?!?!

Happy Monday! Hunter is home now and starts the show by wishing Sidney Crosby a delighted 35th birthday. He goes into some of Sid's best moments throughout his career, including when he had his teeth knocked out by Darian Hatcher and then scored the game-winner as a rookie. He also looks at how much he's grown as a player and a leader on and off the ice over his career and how Pittsburgh is just lucky to have him. He then looks at how many points he'd likely have now had David Steckel and Victor Hedman not concussed him during the peak of his career. After that, Hunter looks at some hires made by the Penguins on Monday and what they mean going forward before giving a small scoop on the Winter Classic jersey that hasn't been announced yet. Finally, he ends the show with some reverse retro talk and goes into what the Penguins could be planning for that jersey later this year. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Could Evgeni Malkin be moved to LW towards the end of his contract?

Happy Friday! It's the week's final episode, and there's plenty to discuss. Hunter starts the show by answering a question from a listener about Malkin's 1,000th game for next season. Should he have to sit out one game to get the honor at home? Would that even matter to him and the fans? He also gets into if the Penguins should rest their starters at various points during the season if the team is in a playoff spot (like NFL teams do) before touching on if Evgeni Malkin could move to the wing during this four-year deal. What would have to happen to get to that point? Would it be right away if the Penguins sign JT Miller next summer? Finally, Hunter goes around the league to catch up on all the latest news & notes.

What does the Penguins PK need to be better about doing next season?

Happy Wednesday! It's another action-packed show for the listeners as Hunter starts out with another silly season trade idea. Yes, it's a Penguins-Canucks trade but NOT for JT Miller. It's for a forward and it requires the Penguins to send two players to the Canucks. He looks at how this player would help the forward group a lot, and how it also saves the team some cap space going into the next season. Next, he reviews the coaching performance of Mike Sullivan and how his system clearly still works. He looks at how great of a job he did during the season to get the team back to the playoffs and how he was able to get the team to flip the switch that quick yet again. Finally, he looks at the Penguins' PK heading into the next season and what they need to do a better job of doing. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Which free agents could the Penguins still go after? (if they open up space).

Happy August! The year continues to fly by, as does the offseason. Hunter starts the show with a segment on Evgeni Malkin as his birthday just passed. He goes into five of his favorite goals from Geno's career and how much he's meant to the fans and the city. He also gives a small scoop on Malkin regarding a particular hat that fans have been waiting for before getting into who should be on the top pairing if the team does trade Brian Dumoulin (Hint: You may not like it).

Is there a chance for Evan Rodrigues to still return?

Happy Friday! This is the final episode of the month and Hunter starts the show by thanking all of you for another record-setting month of listening. He then jumps into the meat of the show and gets into John Klingberg and how he finally came off the market on Friday. Was this a good move for the Ducks? Could he be a rental at the deadline? Hunter then moves into JFresh's Fan Survey and where Jake Guentzel landed in the top left wingers in the league. Was he a bit too low? If so, who would Hunter put him above? He then looks at the same list for the right-wingers and analyzes where Bryan Rust and Rickard Rakell landed. How far up could they be next year if they have good years?

Danton Heinen is BACK for the Penguins!

The Pittsburgh Penguins made a great move on Wednesday when they decided to bring back Danton Heinen on a very cheap deal. Hunter gives his immediate reaction to the move and yes, it's all positive. He goes into how great Heinen was at 5v5 last year and how the Penguins are getting him on a bargain, plus looks at what line he'll likely start with to begin the season. He also again reminds the listeners that Hextall's work likely isn't done, considering that the team still has nine defensemen and because the team probably still wants another forward added. He gives an updated look at what the depth chart looks like and sings some praise as the forward group looks a bit better. Following that, Hunter gives his top 10 prospects in the system, starting with the top 5 in the second segment, and then the bottom five in the last segment. All that, plus me forgetting about poor Calle Clang in the Rakell trade, on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Could Alex Nylander make the jump in training camp?

Congrats, you have made it to the offseason! Hunter is back with the first three episodes that will hit your airwaves this week. He starts the show off by going into Alex Nylander and how some fans have been asking him if he can potentially make the leap back to the NHL this season. Hunter goes into Nylander's numbers from this past season in the AHL but warns people as he also rode a pretty high shooting percentage. He then looks at what Nylander did the last time he was in the NHL and if that can be done in the Penguins' bottom six. After looking at the depth chart, he gives a percentage chance of Nylander making it or not before getting into a fun topic: Franchise Records! Hunter goes into some of the most significant records in franchise history and whether or not anyone can break them in the future. Can Sid pass Mario in goals and points? Who will hold the all-time record for most game-winning goals when it's all said and done? Will anyone match Kris Letang's records? Finally, Hunter ends the show with a fan survey from JFresh ranking the top D-men in the league and why Letang was again severely underrated. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

That Kasperi Kapanen contract is...not the best!

It didn't look like there would be much news for the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday...until the Kapanen contract was announced. Hunter goes into that deal and how it makes very little sense for the Penguins both this upcoming season and next season. He looks at how Kapanen has declined as a player since coming to Pittsburgh and how it's too much money for someone who basically can't play above the third line. What does he have to do to make this deal worth it? He also tries to answer that question the best he can, while also looking at how Nino Nierrdeiter only got $800K more than him in free agency. Following that, he looks at how it affects the Penguins' salary cap situation going forward and what's next for the team before ending the show with a topic on how the Penguins won't use any of their buyouts this year.

An intriguing left winger possibility for Geno if the money can work...

Getting closer to the end of daily episodes, but today is NOT that day. Hunter starts the show with a formal apology to the listeners about not pronouncing Ryan Poehling's last name right (I stink!) before getting into why the Penguins SHOULD go after someone like Vladimir Tarasenko if he still wants a trade out of St. Louis. He looks at the numbers he put up this season and why he'd be a perfect fit with Malkin, plus it would end the #RussianWingerForGeno campaign that started so many years back. He also goes into his power play impact and how it would give the Penguins an unfair man-advantage. He looks at what he would likely cost from the Blues, especially if they're getting Matthew Tkachuk from the Flames. After that, Hunter looks at the pros and cons (mostly cons) of bringing back Phil Kessel after he was mentioned in Josh Yohe's mailbag on Wednesday morning. He looks at the numbers he put up this year and why he's only going to keep declining. Finally, Hunter gets into more Matthew Tkachuk talk and which teams make the most sense for him. He also gives his opinion on who would be on the table if the Penguins tried to acquire him. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

How much can Ryan Poehling contribute this season?

The news is starting to dry up but that doesn't mean there's nothing to talk about when it comes to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Hunter starts Tuesday's show off by diving into Ryan Poehling since he was basically forgotten about during the last couple of episodes. What kind of player are the Penguins getting in him? What do the underlyings look like? Could this be a true change of scenery? Hunter dives into all of those questions, especially the last one since he wasn't panning out in Montreal. He also looks at which players he would best with and how getting him carries very little risk for this season. Following that, Hunter dives into grading Ron Hextall's offseason so far and eats some of his words after criticizing him a few weeks ago. He gives his grade and the reasoning for it, while also again saying that more work needs to be done. He then gives what his final grade could be if he's able to fix the elephant in the room with two months to go. Finally, Hunter ends the show with some silly season talk about Matthew Tkachuk and how much fun it would be if the Penguins got him (no, it's not happening).

So some big trades were made by the Penguins, eh?

It was a busy weekend for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Hunter first goes into the Jeff Petry trade and gives his thoughts on that move (for those that didn't watch the video on the YouTube page. He goes into how Petry is still an outstanding player and how he did this past season on a terrible Montreal team. He looks at how he's an upgrade over both Matheson and Marino on the second pairing, plus who this will help the most on the Penguins. After that, he gives a small scoop on Petry's original offer (likely around the time of the NHL Draft) and how the Penguins HAD TO include Matheson in the deal. Following that, he goes into the Ty Smith for John Marino deal and looks at what kind of player that the Penguins are getting in Smith. Is he someone who loves the puck on his stick? How can his defensive game improve next season? Is he the next defenseman for Todd Reirden to do serious work with? Hunter gives a prediction about Smith being in the opening night lineup before finishing the show focusing on Ron Hextall and how there's no chance he's done yet.

Ever wonder why Jim Rutherford quit? We now reportedly have the answer!

We've reached the end of another busy week! Hunter has a bit of a different show for this one as he goes into DK's Friday Insider article and touches on the reported reason for Jim Rutherford's absence. He goes into what that move could've been (No, it's not a Kris Letang trade) and also speculates what that conversation with David Morehouse looks like. He also wonders if more about this story will ever come out in the future. Following that, Hunter gets into a report from Taylor Haase about what the Heinen camp was expecting if he was qualified and if it went to arbitration. He looks at why the Penguins made the right call in that circumstance and wonders what a new deal would look like if the team does circle back. He also looks at why Brian Dumoulin may not be moved (according to Danny Shirey) and how management makes a pretty good point in the opposite direction. Finally, Hunter brings up a couple of talking points from the 32 Thoughts podcast and wonders what the proposed trade would've looked like had the Penguins moved a defenseman at the NHL Draft (per Friedman).

Ever wonder why Jim Rutherford quit? We now reportedly have the answer!

We've reached the end of another busy week! Hunter has a bit of a different show for this one as he goes into DK's Friday Insider article and touches on the reported reason for Jim Rutherford's absence. He goes into what that move could've been (No, it's not a Kris Letang trade) and also speculates what that conversation with David Morehouse looks like. He also wonders if more about this story will ever come out in the future. Following that, Hunter gets into a report from Taylor Haase about what the Heinen camp was expecting if he was qualified and if it went to arbitration.

Will Johan Larsson sign? Plus a way-too-early look at next year's lineup!

Is Johan Larsson going to be a Pittsburgh Penguin? There was nothing new to report on that front on Thursday, which has led Hunter to believe that he won't be signing. That said, Hunter does look at what he would bring to the Penguins lineup if he does get signed. He looks at his defensive ability and how he clogs up the defensive zone, plus looks at what he's produced at throughout his career. He then looks at what line he'd fit best on before moving on to some updates on a potential defenseman trade. Hunter brings up that the Penguins HAVE TO get an impact forward in return, preferably a finisher since this team hasn't done much to replace some of the goals that were scored last year. Which defenseman would bring the most back in a trade? He looks at a few different trade scenarios and then makes a bold prediction about how many defensemen will be moved out. Finally, Hunter does a quick look at the "way too early" lines for next season and what he would do if he were Mike Sullivan (it has the defensive pairings in if both MP28 and Marino are moved).

The Malkin contract is AWESOME, plus which defenseman is getting moved?

What a last 24 hours for the Pittsburgh Penguins! Hunter starts the show with the obvious: The Evgeni Malkin contract! He goes into how good it is for the short-term and how the Penguins made the right choice in bringing him back, especially when you look at some of the other centers that signed for big money. He also looks at how you're going to see a motivated player who wants to prove a lot of people wrong, plus looks at the role Sidney Crosby played to get the two sides talking again. He also looks at how this move is what most of the fans wanted when all three came into the league: To go out together, even if they don't win another Stanley Cup. He also takes a shot at the people who will be miserable about this if they don't win before going into the Jan Rutta signing. Hunter looks at the data and analyzes his game to see what he's going to bring to the lineup next year. Which defenseman would he be best with? Which defenseman is going to be traded? Hunter looks at what the team must get in return for one of those players since the forward group isn't fully filled out yet. Finally, Hunter ends the show looking at the depth signings and wondering if Johan Larsson is going to be a Pittsburgh Penguin soon. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Can the Penguins salvage this relationship with Evgeni Malkin? Josh Yohe returns to the show...

As promised, Josh Yohe of The Athletic joins the show to touch on EVERYTHING regarding the Pittsburgh Penguins. The two first chat about Evgeni Malkin (3:00) and if the team and his side can reconvene for a deal, plus how the Malkin camp is truly feeling right now. Josh also touches on how Sidney Crosby is doing his part to try and get Malkin to stay (and he never goes into these negotiations), plus if a four-year term was really offered, and who is to blame in this situation. He goes into the chances that Malkin potentially stays before Hunter & him go into potential replacements. What would a Vince Trocheck contract look like? Is there a way to trade for JT Miller? The two also discuss if the Penguins are close to offloading a defenseman and argue for which one it should be before getting into the Rickard Rakell deal. How fast did that one come together? Is there concern about the term and AAV? What happens if he doesn't play with Crosby? All that, plus a lot of other info is in this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast.

How did it get to this point with the Penguins & Evgeni Malkin?

We never thought this day would come...but it's coming quick. Hunter starts the show off by blasting everyone involved with regard to the Evgeni Malkin negotiations. He goes after the Malkin camp & the Penguins front office since it's insane that it even got to this point. He goes into how each side failed, plus touches on if there's any way this can be mended with only two days to go. After that, he goes into replacement options for Malkin and how it looks pretty bleak, but he does get into some core Claude Giroux and JT Miller discourse. He then goes into the big news with the qualifying offers and why there were no surprises before finishing the episode with some mailbag questions.

Two down, one to go for the Penguins, plus thoughts on Pickering!

It's a late-night edition of the Locked On Penguins podcast, but there was A LOT to get to for this one. Hunter starts the show by diving into the Kris Letang extension and how it looks like both sides got what they wanted. He looks at how the Penguins got some big-time cap savings with it, which SHOULD make it easier to sign Evgeni Malkin. He also looks at how term should be a non-issue here since the team won't be that good when the last couple of years of that contract are happening. After he discusses Letang, he touches on Owen Pickering and how the Penguins made a really good pick with this first-rounder. He goes into the scouting report that he and Jason had for him and looks at some NHL player comps for him and what you can expect if he gets to the NHL level. He also addresses the "top down" model and why fans shouldn't be assessing the pick just based on that. Finally, Hunter gives the latest on the Malkin contract talks and why there's no reason for this to not get done, plus what this could mean for Rickard Rakell's future.

A Kris Letang extension is imminent, plus the Penguins schedule is out!

It's a busy period for the Pittsburgh Penguins and Hunter has all of the news right here on a fresh episode! He starts it by discussing Ron Hextall's comments to the media and why a Kris Letang deal is expected to be announced at any time. He again goes into what it'll likely look like before switching gears to Evgeni Malkin. Is there anything new on that front? He then goes to a new report from Rob Rossi of The Athletic where he shares the Penguins' last offer to Malkin before the two sides met again. Are the Penguins willing to give him more term? Will Geno accept less money to get more term? Hunter speculates about that after Rossi reported it and looks at how that should be an easy decision for multiple reasons. In the second segment, Hunter goes over the Penguins' schedule for next season and highlights some critical matchups, road trips, and all that jazz. He also circles some unusual things about the schedule that looks to be happening for the first time, plus gives the game that he'll 100% be in attendance for next season.

The Pros and Cons to the Penguins signing Casey DeSmith...

There WAS a signing on Tuesday but not the one you all were waiting for. That's right, Casey DeSmith is back for the next two years to be Tristan Jarry's backup. Hunter goes into the deal and gives his thoughts on whether the Penguins made the right move or not. He points out DeSmith's deficiencies with staying healthy and not being consistent, while also looking at some of the other goalies available and comparing his numbers to them. He also looks at how the Penguins are taking another massive gamble again by running this tandem back for a third time, especially since there are questions about both goalies. After the DeSmith talk, he gets to the news that the Penguins and Letang are closing in on a deal. He looks at how both sides seem to be getting what they want (if it gets done) and how this was the only possible option for the team heading into the next three years. Finally, Hunter shouts out Dana Heinze for the incredible job he did with the Penguins throughout his tenure while going into a couple of fun stories surrounding him and the core players.

Could Claude Giroux be an Evgeni Malkin replacement if things go south?

Happy 4th of July! Hunter always has Penguins content for this show and starts it off by touching on the latest update regarding Evgeni Malkin & Kris Letang from Pierre Lebrun. Is there anything new? Why would Ron Hextall only start out with two-year deals for both? Has there been movement, especially on the Malkin ones? Hunter gets into all of that, plus spends the last couple of minutes saying why it may not be a good idea to pay Nazem Kadri if Malkin does decide to walk. After that, Hunter does some NHL Draft Talk and goes into the "Lottery Guys" section that he and Jason have on their board. Which of these players has the best chance of panning out? Which players have more bust potential? Hunter gives his scouting report on them and who some of their NHL player comps are before closing the show with a silly season free-agent target: Claude Giroux. How would it make sense? Can he play Center again? What would the money look like? Would he want to be a Penguin? All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Is there momentum building towards a Kris Letang deal?

It's finally July! The offseason continues to rage on and the news with the Pittsburgh Penguins never sleeps. Hunter starts the show by touching on the latest regarding Kris Letang as Elliotte Friedman gave an update on 32 Thoughts. Are the two sides getting closer? What's the gap now? Hunter shares some optimism towards a new deal as he's feeling more confident about a deal getting done with Letang than he does with Malkin. He also touches on the David Pagnotta update and whether there's a chance that Letang's AAV could be below 8. Following that, Hunter gives his thoughts on the rumors that the Penguins are discussing a new deal with Casey DeSmith. There are some conflicting reports, but which way should the Penguins go? Is it right to look for a new backup? Has DeSmith done enough to earn that job for a third straight season? Finally, Hunter ends the show with a little more draft talk as he gives a couple more names that could be available to them, plus takes a listener's question about a potential free agent fit.

Is it right to look for a new backup? Has DeSmith done enough to earn that job for a third straight season? Finally, Hunter ends the show with a little more draft talk as he gives a couple more names that could be available to them, plus takes a listener's question about a potential free agent fit.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

A special crossover with Dan Holmi of Locked On Capitals!

It's a special crossover with Locked On Capitals as this hasn't happened in a long time. Hunter and Dan start the show by discussing the Evgeni Malkin rumors and if he could potentially be a good fit for the Capitals. What would both fanbases think of it? Would it be right to see Malkin help Ovechkin chase the all-time goal record? Hunter then updates the listeners with news about the contract discussions as the two sides aren't super close. After that, the two share their favorite moments of the rivalry and how it's become one of the best in all of sports over the years. Hunter brings up his favorite memories as a kid, while Dan also touches on his favorites from a Capitals perspective. The two then touch on what the Capitals need to do this summer to get back into Stanley Cup contention. Which goalies should they go after? Is there a certain layer that Dan wants to go after in free agency? Who should be on the trade block? Dan then repeats the cycle for Hunter in the last segment as he asks what the Penguins need to do this offseason to stay in contention.

Brian Burke speaks out, plus is Radim Zohorna ready to be up full-time?

Pittsburgh Penguins President of Hockey Ops Brian Burke spoke to some of the Pittsburgh media on Wednesday and yes, most of it centered around Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin., Hunter looks at Burke said and gives his thoughts on what the "deadline" part means, and why Burke basically confirmed that Letang is currently the higher priority over Malkin. He also looks at when that final "take it or leave it" offer will be in and whether it's likely that either player circles back to the team when free agency opens. After that, Hunter reviews Radim Zohorna's season and looks at how he put up some of the best underlying numbers that he's ever seen in such a short sample size. Is there a chance he keeps that up for a full season? Hunter looks at that, plus touches on how he's on a one-way deal this season. Is the team expecting him to make the jump for the entire season? What attributes would he bring to the bottom six? Finally, he ends the show with some long-awaited draft talk and gives the top two players on his board that could be available for the Penguins to take. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Can Ron Hextall get out of his passive ways and get stuff done for the Pittsburgh Penguins?

Tuesday is an action-packed episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast. Hunter goes all into Josh Yohe's story on what he's hearing about the Penguins heading into free agency and the draft and it's safe to say a lot of it is bad. He starts with the Evgeni Malkin rumors as more smoke is growing about how he won't be back with the team. Are Malkin's contract demands too high? Why is Hextall being stingy with him? That discussion then goes into another one about how Hextall may not be cut out for this job, considering how passive he was in Philadelphia. That won't fly here, especially if one or both of the core members of the team walk. He looks at how Hextall isn't too keen on spending money to replace either Malkin or Letang and why that would quickly backfire on him. Hunter also discusses the latest on Kris Letang and while it's more of a positive update, it's still not where it needs to be yet. Hunter also gets into the Pettersson vs Dumoulin debate and why the Penguins look to be taking the wrong side of it, plus gets to the latest on JT Miller and Vincent Trocheck.

Getting to some listener trade proposals for the Pittsburgh Penguins...

The NHL season is over and that means every team is in offseason mode. Hunter starts the show off by getting to a couple of listener silly season trade proposals and if he'd entertain these offers. One of them involves Kirby Dach, while another involves Brian Dumoulin. Hunter analyzes both of them and looks at who would be getting the better end of each deal. Do these hypothetical trades make sense for the Penguins? Do they also address other needs, or do they open up more? After that, Hunter reviews Drew O'Connor's season and how he saw a big growth in him from last year to this year. Is there a spot for him on this team next year? Can he provide even more offense than he did this past season? Hunter also looks at the main things that changed in Drew's game and how he has the ability to change them even more heading into next season. Finally, Hunter ends the show by congratulating the Colorado Avalanche on winning the Stanley Cup, while also giving his thoughts on Jack Johnson and the Crosby/MacKinnon bromance.

Could Jeff Petry be a possible Kris Letang replacement if Ron Hextall walks away?

It's somehow almost the final week of June and that means the NHL Draft and free agency are just around the corner. Before Hunter gets to some free agency stuff, he starts the show off by touching on a couple of promotions that the Penguins announced on Monday. One is a long-time player in the organization getting a pretty prominent role, while the other is taking Andy Saucier's role from the last few years. He gives his thoughts on those moves and how much could change over the next few seasons (especially in Saucier's old job) before getting to Mark Friedman's season review? How was his first real season of action? Could he provide the team with more value next season? Is he able to play higher up in the lineup if he's not the No. 7? After that, Hunter touches on an option that fans aren't thinking about enough when it comes to the second-line center spot if Malkin doesn't come back. Hint: Part of it involves signing a premier winger. Finally, Hunter ends the show with a little Jeff Prety rumor and whether it's worth it for the Penguins to trade for him if Kris Letang walks.

Should the Pittsburgh Penguins go after Max Domi in free agency?

Happy Thursday! We move closer to the start of July and that means free agency is upon us. Before Hunter gets into a potential free-agent target, he reviews Mike Matheson's season as he's now about done with all of the starters' season reviews. He goes into the numbers and how Matheson set career-highs in basically everyone, while also pointing out some career-highs with his counting stats too. Hunter then looks at how getting deployed right has played a big role in Matheson's turnaround for his career and how he also plays with the perfect partner in Chad Ruhwedel. What would the overall grade be? Can he get even better next season? After he answers those questions, he gets into a potential Penguins UFA target if Evan Rodrigues doesn't come back. He lists the pros and cons of getting Max Domi and what a new contract will look like before discussing the Stanley Cup FInal. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Are the Penguins any closer with Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin?

After a small vacation, Hunter is back with a fresh episode on the Pittsburgh Penguins and as always, there's something to talk about. He starts the show with the latest Penguins rumors after Elliotte Friedman went on the Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday and touched on the latest with Letang, Malkin, and even Fleury. Is there a chance that Fleury makes a return? Hunter looks at that and brings up the only way in which that would work. He then gets to the latest with Malkin, which doesn't sound good. If a deal can't be reached, who will replace him? How much money will the team have? Is it worth it to do 3 X $7.5-$8M per for? Is it looking more likely for Letang? After that, Hunter gives his NHL Awards Ballot and how more writers need to watch the league as a whole and then evaluates Chad Ruhwedel's special season.

Was Marcus Pettersson one of the Penguins' 3 best defenseman this season?

Happy Friday! Hunter continues the season grades/reviews for this episode by touching on Marcus Pettersson's season. Was this one of his best seasons to date? How did his numbers stack up to some of the other defensemen? Hunter also looks at if his offense can break through next season, especially after seeing a tease of what he could do during the late stages of this past season. Finally, could he be used as trade bait? Is his contract a problem? Hunter dives into those questions before getting to Teena Murray being named the VP of Integrated Performance. What does this mean going forward? Could she help figure out why the Penguins are always one of the league's most injured teams? He also gets into a couple of other topics surrounding that hire, plus ends the show with John Tortorella going to Philly.

Looking at John Marino's season, plus could the Penguins go after a familiar face in free agency?

The season reviews continue in this episode as Hunter gets to John Marino. There's already been a lot of John Marino talk during the offseason, but Hunter now fully fives into the numbers from him this year and also gives his take on what his eye test tells him about Marino. Will he ever get better offensively? Is there more than one way to unlock that part of his game? Hunter then looks at his defensive impacts from this season and why they were actually up from a season ago. Is it due to playing with Pettersson more than Matheson? Just how good is that pairing together? Finally, Hunter looks at what the Penguins should do with Marino during the offseason. What could they get back in a trade for him? Should he be used as trade bait? Would it be the right call to bring him back? After that, Hunter does a small segment on Jack Johnson after Josh Yohe wrote an article about him for The Athletic on Thursday. He dives into the article and looks at new info that came out about his signing and why it makes GMJR look even worse. He also complains about how so many people in the fanbase were wrongly accused of not being fair to the player after he was signed while also knowing that he's likely a great human. Finally, Hunter ends the show with a potential bottom 6 UFA target that could be a real possibility this summer. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Give me good reasons for the Pittsburgh Penguins to move on from the core...

Oh yes, we are talking about the Penguins core on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Hunter starts the show out by blasting the people who just want to make change for the sake of it (and there are a lot of those people out there). He defends the core and asks these people why they're using them as the scapegoats when they're not even close to the reason why the team hasn't won a playoff series in four years. He reviews those series and gives his input on why the team really lost while debunking some fan theories. He also begs that portion f the fanbase to come up with actual solutions to them leaving without just going onto NHL 22. After that, Hunter reviews Brian Dumoulin's season. Was it as bad as people made it out to be? What does he need to work on heading into next year? He then looks at what the Penguins could get in a trade for him and whether it's the right call to move on from him given his age and his cap hit. Finally, Hunter ends the show with the latest Penguins news as their front office shuffled a little bit on Tuesday. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Some big-time updates on Kris Letang & Evgeni Malkin!

We finally have some traction on the Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin contracts! Hunter starts the show by getting into the update on Letang and why it's GREAT to see that the organization sees him as their top priority right now. He goes into why the very loud but vocal minority of fans who dislike him are wrong and vows for those people to reach out about an actual plan of action if Letang isn't brought back. Before getting to the latest on Evgeni Malkin, he dives into the numbers again and why there's basically nobody on the market that can do what he does. What is that one looking like? Is he the second-biggest priority for the team? Is it right of the team to see him as the 2nd priority behind Letang? He then gets into the rest of the updates in Rob Rossi's story, including one on a potential assistant general manager joining the front office. He looks at why the team needs to go outside the organization for this one to bring in some potential fresh ideas, especially as a new ownership group took over. Hunter also shares an update on Andy Saucier (a positive one) going into next season before ending the show previewing the Stanley Cup Final. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Could the Penguins look to Chicago for some forward help?

Everybody's working for the weekend, right? Hunter starts the show with some Penguins front office news as Kevin Acklin is promoted to David Morehouse's former position. He discusses what that means for the short and long-term of the franchise, plus how he and Brian Burke look to be running the show for the Fenway Sports Group moving forward. After that, Hunter continues the season reviews with Casey DeSmith. Was it a tale of two seasons for him? Hunter looks at how he started and then how he finished as his season came to a close in the worst possible way. He then discusses the pros and cons of bringing him back next season and if the team should look to find someone who's more reliable and more steady. IF the Penguins do bring him back though, what would the AAV look like? Hunter gives his best guess before looking at another potential trade target that would make the Penguins: A) Younger and B) faster. He's a player that's had some struggles with the Blackhawks, but also someone who hasn't entered his peak years yet and is an RFA, similar to Kasperi Kapanen. Finally, Hunter previews Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final and how the Lightning are taking a page out of the Penguins' book for slowing the Rangers down. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Could the Penguins look to move Marino if Letang comes back?

There is always fun stuff to talk about during the offseason and Hunter starts the show off by touching on the latest trade rumor surrounding John Marino. Frank Seravalli put him on his "trade bait" board for the offseason as it sounds like teams may come calling again for the defenseman this offseason. Does it make sense for the Penguins to move him? What would have to happen beforehand so that a move makes sense? What are the cons to moving him? Hunter answers all of those questions before diving into what a return could look like. He touches on how his value around the league could be higher than what some fans think because certain teams value players differently. Following that, he discusses a potential forward that the Penguins could go and get: Jesse Puljujarvi. Ken Holland is said to be open to making some trades this season and Hunter proposes one that could make sense for both sides. He also goes into the pros and cons for the move (though most of it centers around why it makes sense). Finally, Hunter reviews Tristan Jarry's season and what fans should expect from him heading into 2022-23. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Johnny Gaudreau to the Penguins rumors? In this economy?

Hunter didn't think he'd be starting out the show talking about Johnny Gaudreau, but that's what happens when there is silly szn stuff. Hunter goes into Hailey Salvian's article from The Athletic where she mentions the Pittsburgh Penguins as a potential destination for Gaudreau. Is it realistic for the Penguins? What would a contract for him look like? Hunter discusses those questions, while also touching on if he would make the team better with him and Sid as a dynamic duo, compared to Sid & Geno moving forward. He also gets into who the Penguins would likely have to move out to make that happen, plus how many years the Penguins could get out of both him and Sidney Crosby playing together. After that, Hunter breaks down Jeff Carter's season and what fans should look to expect from him next season. Was it the right call to give him that extension during the season? What else does he provide outside of scoring? Will the scoring start to dry up more next season. Hunter dives into those questions, while also looking at who Carter could play with next season (and no, he CANNOT be the team's second-line center if Malkin walks. Finally, Hunter ends the show by recapping Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final and how the Penguins certainly could've been a team to give the Lightning fits.

What would be your dream Pittsburgh Penguins announcing duo?

Happy Tuesday! Hunter is joined by a special guest for this show as he welcomes back Doug Glattke of Forechecking TV to get his thoughts on everything Penguins related so far in the offseason. The two first start out with some brief updates on Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang as Pierre Lebrun published his "rumblings" blog in The Athletic this morning. Are things getting closer on the Malkin front? What seems to be the big holdup as free agency is about a month away? Does LeBrun see a deal happening? The two get into all of that, plus again argue that there's no one really out there in free agency that can really do what Malkin does. After that, they get to the Letang update & how that one seems to be closer than the Malkin one. Are both sides going to have to bend a little to make it work? Does he look to be the top priority for the Penguins? What chances does Lebrun give of a deal happening? After that, they get into a fun debate in the second segment about what the dream Penguyins broadcast could look like using only announcers that are still announcing. This is brought up due to the Penguins finishing in the bottom third of the league in a fan poll of broadcasting duos with Mears and Errey. Finally, Doug gives a couple of free agents that he'd like to see the team go after, even if they bring back Malkin, Letang, Rodrigues, and Heinen, plus goes into who he would put on the trade block.

Is Teddy Blueger's lack of playoff success concerning?

Happy Monday! We are now halfway to episode No. 1,000 and Hunter starts the show with some fresh Penguins news. He touches on how the arena has a new management group that will oversee the operations of PPG and tries to improve the fan engagement and entertainment in Pittsburgh. He goes into what this could mean moving forward for the Penguins as there could be new offerings inside the arena as soon as next season. After that, he gets into two Penguins assistant coaches being connected to head-coach openings and what that could mean for Mike Sullivan heading into this offseason. Will both be able to get a job? Could only one of them depart? Why are teams so interested in these two assistants? Hunter answers those questions before getting into Teddy Blueger's season review. He dives into his underlying numbers and looks at what they tell, plus looks at how his playoff numbers have been super, super concerning throughout the last four years. Should he be expected to be back next season? What needs to happen to make sure that he stays on this team for the next several years (potentially)? He dives into more questions about Blueger before ending the show by shouting out Penguins management for not being incompetent with Mike Sullivan since Bruce Cassidy and Barry Trotz were let go during the offseason.

How can Brock McGinn improve next season? EPISODE 500!!!!!

The weekend is upon us, but not before Hunter delivers some Penguins content. This is episode No. 500 and Hunter starts the show by reviewing Brock McGinn's season. What happened after he came back from his injury? Is there a way for him to rediscover his game again next season after he started out the season well? Could the Penguins look to be aggressive in getting out of that contract? Hunter ponders all of those questions, especially that last one as it'll be interesting to see if Ron Hextall knows when to move on from a potential mistake. Hunter notes that Jim Rutherford usually did (unless you're Jack Johnson). After that, Hunter has another trade proposal for yinz and yes, it involves a certain RFA on this team. The player that would be coming back is from a team that the Penguins have a long history of trading with, plus a team that usually isn't good offensively. He breaks down how it would benefit the Penguins, and the other team before ending the show with some talk about the conference finals and an injury update on Brian Dumoulin.

Should Brian Boyle be brought back?

The player season reviews are continuing into Wednesday with the bottom six. Hunter starts the show by touching on Brian Boyle and how his season was. Did he outperform expectations? Was he supposed to play 60+ games during the season? How did he perform down the stretch and then in the playoffs? Hunter answers those questions and also gives his take on whether or not he should be brought back. Are there better and younger players in WBS ready to go? What about some potential free agents? After that, Hunter brings up a silly szn trade proposal that he thought of the day before and why it would make a lot of sense for the Penguins (and potentially the other team). Hint: It's one of the Penguins' restricted free agents :-). Finally, Hunter gives some defenseman targets that the team could go after via free agency if a trade is made and if they feel like POJ isn't ready to come up yet.

What should Danton Heinen's next contract look like?

It's the final day of May and yep, Penguins' content NEVER sleeps. He starts the show out by reviewing the final member of the top 6's season: Danton Heinen. He came over on a one-year prove-it deal, and boy did he ever prove it to the Penguins. He lit it up for 18 goals and set a new career-high in the process. Hunter dives into the numbers to look at what he excelled at this season, plus looked at the big underrated part of his game: His defense impact. He goes over the metrics on HockeyViz with the heat maps which show that related to league average, he's well-above in terms of preventing scoring chances in the defensive zone. Hunter also gets into the topic of what his next contract should look like. Should it come from the Penguins? If so, what should the term and AAV be? Should he get most of his minutes with Evgeni Malkin (if he returns) next season? After that, Hunter brings up an old friend that will be a UFA this summer: Phil Kessel. Does it make sense for the team to take a flier on him? How bad has his offense gone down since he was traded? Can he still contribute at 5v5? Finally, Hunter previews the conference finals and even offers some praise to the Rangers since they remind him of a certain Penguins team from a few years back...

Should Jason Zucker be back next season?

Happy Memorial Day! Hunter starts today's show off by going into Jason Zucker's season review and yes, he was able to play in 41 games. He goes into the underlying numbers and how they've still remained strong, plus how his finishing was this year. He then looks at how those numbers cratered in the playoffs, but doesn't blame him for those due to playing with Jeff Carter for most of those minutes. He also touches on which line he should play on next year (assuming he's on the team) and if he should get a bigger role on some special teams units. Finally, he gives his take on what the team SHOULD do with Zucker and why he understands the other side of the debate. In the second segment, Hunter brings up "the future young players" and if anyone can come up from Wilkes Barre next season to make a difference. Is it POJ's time to shine? Can Drew O'Connor rediscover his early-season magic? Could Alex Nylander keep up his momentum? What about Puutstinen? All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

A couple of fun and chaotic trade options for the Penguins...

Mike Vellucci is rumored to be taking head coaching interviews...what does this mean for the Penguins? Hunter starts the show off with that topic after it was reported that the Flyers decided to interview him this past week as they look to find their new head coach. Hunter looks at how it wouldn't be that big of a deal if the Penguins lost him, considering how the PK played in the playoffs during this series. After that, he goes into who he would look to replace him with if he got a head-coaching gig, plus how this would be one of the rare times that Mike Sullivan would actually get to hand-pick his staff (thanks Jim Rutherford!) After that, Hunter reviews Jake Guentzel's season and goes into just how special it was. He slams the people who gave up on him after he no-showed for a couple of years in the playoffs and looks at the stats that led to that happening. He then looks at what realistic expectations should be for Guentzel heading into another season where he's in his prime. Finally, Hunter ends the show by going over a couple of trade options for a top defender that a few fans sent in if Kris Letang walks. Hint: They're both from the Western Conference. Would the Penguins be able to make it work? Should they be interested if one is made available? What would they have to give up? All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Why all the hate for Evan Rodrigues? Plus some updates on Malkin AND Letang...

Happy Thursday! Hunter starts out the episode by touching on some of the latest news surrounding the team, which includes Juuso Riikola leaving to go overseas. Hunter gets into why it was probably the right move for him considering that he doesn't belong in the AHL with how talented he is. Hunter also brings up the point that it made no sense how the Penguins treated him when he got there, especially when Jack Johnson and Justin Schultz were getting ice time over him. Should he have been in the lineup a lot more? Why was he then pushed out forever? Could he have been in other lineups around the league? Hunter answers those questions before reviewing Sidney Crosby's season and why it was one of the best of his career. Is it fair to expect this level of production from him next year? How special was his short playoff run? What should we expect from his line next season? After that, Hunter gets into an answer from Josh Yohe's mailbag about Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang and what that could mean moving forward. He dives a bit more into Malkin's stats from this past season to debunk some wild theories about him before ending the show with some defense of Evan Rodrigues after some people had some wild takes about him too.

Danny Shirey is back on the show for ALL things Penguins!

It's a special Tuesday episode of Locked On Penguins as Hunter brings Danny Shirey of DKPittsburghSports back onto the show to touch on a multitude of topics surrounding the team. The two first start with Ron Hextall's press conference and what Danny's main takeaways were from that. What are Danny's thoughts about bringing back Evgeni Malkin? He gives some stats to show the anti-Malkin crowd just how good he is. They also touch on Kris Letang before getting to an interesting comment about Kasperi Kapanen from Ron Hextall. What are the chances that Kapanen returns to the team? Should he get another shot after a rough season? The two then discuss Hextall's comments about cap space and what that could mean. IS a defenseman going to be on his way out? Is POJ ready to come up full-time? Hunter also brings up how the Penguins can potentially get more youth and skill into the lineup next year and Danny throws out some names from Wilkes-Barre that would have the chance to make an impact heading into the 2022-23 season. Finally, Danny pleads for the team to bring back Evan Rodrigues, plus discusses what the Bryan Rust contract means for the rest of the offseason.

The Pittsburgh Penguins got a STEAL with that Bryan Rust contract...

The Pittsburgh Penguins always surprise us! Hunter starts out the show by touching on the Bryan Rust contract and how the Penguins stole that one. How shocked was Hunter to read that tweet on Saturday night? How many good years will the team get out of Rust on this contract? He answers those questions, plus goes into why it doesn't matter if he's not as good during those final two years since the team likely won't be good. He then debunks some theories that Rakell is better than Rust even though the former did play well after he came over from Anaheim. He also brings up the point that this can really help the Penguins with their cap situation and what it means for paying their stars. After that, he reacts to Ron Hextall's press conference on Monday and analyzes what some of his comments mean. Is it the right call to potentially bring Kasperi Kapanen back? What did Hextall think of the hit on Crosby and Guentzel? Are the sides close with contracts for both Letang and Malkin? Is this team going all-in again?

John Klingberg can NOT replace Kris Letang

Happy Friday! Hunter does have a bit of a groggy voice but that's not stopping him from recording this episode. Hunter starts the show by touching on the John Klingberg rumors as some fans think that he can replace Kris Letang pretty easily. But...can he actually? Hunter digs into the data from the playoffs and regular season from Klingberg and it's not pretty compared to last season. He then compares those numbers to what Kris Letang did in the playoffs for the Penguins and makes his verdict. After that, Hunter gets into the backup goaltender conversation since both Casey DeSmith and Louis Domingue are free agents. He goes into the MAF talk and why it would make sense for only ONE reason. Outside of that, the Penguins would have to steer clear. Could Braden Holtby be an option? What about Scott Wedgewood? Could DeSmith still be an option, despite the injury concerns the last two seasons? Finally, Hunter ends the show by taking your mailbag questions and there are definitely some good ones in here.

Should different players be on the PK next season for the Penguins?

Happy Thursday! Despite there not being any big news, there are always things to talk about in Penguins' land. Hunter starts the show by hammering the Jack Adams finalists and why it's been time for this award to change. Hunter touches on why it's all about who has the best goaltender during the season (cough, Gerard Gallant) and how it's never about what coaches are able to do when injuries hit or when a coach takes over a team that doesn't have playoff aspirations, but still does well. He advocates for both Mike Sullivan and Todd McLellan after their jobs and even touches on Jay Woodcroft for how good of a job he did. After that, Hunter goes into this awful rumor about Kris Letang from 93.7 The Fan and why he's NOT asking for a seven-year term before evaluating the penalty kill this season. What does Hunter want to see differently from the unit in 2022-23? Should there be different players killing the penalties? Is it time to go back to being aggressive? He answers all of those questions before ending the show by reviewing Rickard Rakell's season and why Hunter would pick him over Bryan Rust to re-sign. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

What needs to change on the power play for the Penguins next season?

Happy Wednesday! We're still chugging along here and Hunter starts out this episode with an interesting blurb from Josh Yohe's article about the Penguins on Wednesday. He touches on how Fenway wants to know what Hextall's plan is moving forward and how his initial answer may not bode well for him as future of being general manager. Hunter gets into how Fenway may want their own GM and President of Hockey Ops since they're very big on data & analytics when Hextall and Burke likely aren't. After that, Hunter reviews the power play from this season and looks at what he wants to see from that unit heading into the 2022-23 season. He breaks down what went wrong for it in the playoffs, especially the 5-on-3's when the Penguins looked like they were the team down two men. He also looks at how the zone entries did the team no favors, plus how the Penguins did too many "east-west" plays when sometimes less is more. Finally, Hunter ends the show by going back to Josh's article and looking at how some people inside the Penguins organization view some of the players heading into the summer.

Locker cleanout day! Are the Penguins moving any closer with new contracts for Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin?

The Penguins had their annual locker room cleanout day after a season where the players speak to the media one more time before departing for the offseason. Hunter starts the show with comments from Evgeni Malkin and how he seems prepared to leave if he doesn't get a fair offer from the team. Hunter touches on how this shouldn't be difficult at all as Malkin has already said he's willing to take a discount. Hunter gives his perfect Geno contract proposal and ponders if he would take it after the comments he made. After that, Hunter dives into Kris Letang's comments and also what Elliotte Friedman reported on Tuesday with where it stands on his talks. The Penguins are close on term (it sounds like), but not AAV. What's the likely sweet spot for Letang? How much of a raise does he likely want? Hunter goes into that and again why he should be the team's top priority heading into the summer. After that, Hunter gives his two players who also need to be kept at all costs and gives his guesses on what those contracts could look like. He also gives some updates on some injuries and even has a small scoop about Jason Zucker's injury that he was dealing with. Hunter finishes the show with a thought about the new ownership group conducting a thorough review of the team and why it shouldn't be a shock if they make some front-office changes.

Welcome to the offseason, Penguins fans

Well, it's now offseason time, Pens fans. Hunter starts the show off by going into how gutted he was for the core after the Penguins fell to the Rangers on Sunday. He also talks about what they've meant to him over the years and how they even inspired him to do many things with this sport (including this show). After that, he touches on everything about that Game 7 performance and where it all went wrong. He goes into the penalty that should've been with Alexis Lafreniere at the end of the third period, but also slams John Marino for making a terrible defensive play. What should Marino have done in that situation? He then praises Tristan Jarry for one heck of a performance, even though he was obviously playing hurt. He shouts out Jake Guentzel for one of the best performances he's ever seen in a series and why a national audience got to see just how good he is. After that, he slams Brock McGinn for trying to be too cute with the puck in overtime and how he, plus the penalty kill cost them when they were needed most. Finally, Hunter gives some quick offseason thoughts on where the team should go from here, and why Mike Sullivan shouldn't be fired. what to do with Letang and Malkin, will Burke and Hextall survive this, and so much more.

Tristan Jarry HAS TO start Game 7 on Sunday...

It's as simple as this: Tristan Jarry HAS to start Game 7 back in New York on Sunday. Hunter starts the show by feeling gutted about the Penguins as they dropped another game against the New York Rangers on Friday night. He touches on what went wrong for the team starting in the second period with the Evan Rodrigues taking a retaliatory penalty and then the special teams vomiting all over themselves. He then gets into how goaltending has continued to cost the Penguins a series (As well as special teams) and how Louis Domingue messed up big-time on two of the four Rangers goals. Do the Penguins win if Rodrigues doesn't take that penalty? Hunter also discusses that topic, as well as the continued good 5v5 play by the Penguins in this series. To wrap up the show, Hunter discusses what the Penguins NEED TO DO in order to win Game 7 on Sunday, and again, they have to have Tristan Jarry start. He then ends the show with a message to the fans to enjoy the ride on Sunday as that could be the final game in the Big 3 era. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Can Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang do it for Sid?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are set to play in another elimination game on Friday as they look to take down the New York Rangers. That said, they're going to likely be without Sidney Crosby and Hunter spends the first segment talking about how special of an opportunity this is for the Penguins. He goes into how the team is at home and how both Letang and Malkin have the opportunity to "Win for Sid." Crosby has done everything he can to will the Penguins to win this series and with him likely out, it may be time for the rest of his teammates to repay him. After that, Hunter touches on what he would do with the lines if Crosby is indeed out. Who should center the second line? Which wingers should move up and which should move down? What adjustment do the Penguins need to make to ensure that they win this game? Finally, Hunter pleads for the PPG crowd to be electric and to be that 7th man for the Penguins as it needs to be like a Mellon Arena crowd. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

On to Game 6 for the Pittsburgh Penguins...

Wednesday night wasn't the night for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Hunter goes into how the Penguins played a PERFECT game until Sidney Crosby's injury. From then on, all hell broke loose as the Rangers scored three goals in two minutes. Hunter touches on how Mike Sullivan made a rare blunder in this series by trusting Jeff Carter to play with Guentzel and Rust for a few shifts before Evgeni Malkin was put in that spot. Had Malkin been there, do the Rangers score those goals? Hunter ponders that question before giving his unbiased thoughts on Jacob Trouba's hit that knocked Crosby out of the game. Should there be a suspension? Does the series rest on Sid's health? Hunter answers both of those questions before bringing up Evgeni Malkin's mixed bag game. He ponders that he needs to be better with his penalties and having other players get under his skin. He also goes into why Louis Domingue should've been better on the last two goals, plus gives early thoughts on what to expect for Game 6 (and yes, he may be there).

The Penguins are one win away...how do they close this out for good?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are one win away from their first playoff series win in four years and they'll have a shot to earn that on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. Hunter is joined by Rachel Nones again on the show as she discusses what's been going on for the Rangers. Is there any matchup that works against the Sidney Crosby line? How are the Rangers going to come out on Wednesday? The two also discuss how the Rangers can get back into this series and send it back to Pittsburgh for Game 6 on Friday night. Hunter then touches on how the Penguins can end this series and what they need to do to make it happen. They also talk about the Rangers' big-ticket players not being themselves and credit Mike Sullivan's system for doing a great job with his forwards and defense away from the puck.

The Pittsburgh Penguins now take a 3-1 series lead! It's not over yet though...

The Pittsburgh Penguins DOMINATED the New York Rangers again on Monday night and are now one win away from winning the series. They'll look to close it out on Wednesday at Madison Square Garden. Hunter starts the show by reminding everyone that this series is NOT CLOSE to being over. He touches on how the fourth game is always the hardest one to win in this series and how the Penguins will likely get the Rangers' best at Madison Square Garden. He then touches on everything that went right in this game, especially the Sidney Crosby line continuing to torch the Rangers. Is there anything Gallant can do against this line? He also touches on the chess match between Mike Sullivan and Gallant and how Sullivan is coaching circles around him right now. After that, he goes into how the Penguins have been able to have success at Igor Shesterkin the last two games and what the recipe will be on Wednesday. He also brings up the depth scoring and how that's been a big turning point for the Penguins in this series, especially these last two games. After that, he shouts out the other players who impressed him tonight and how Sidney Crosby isn't going down without a fight. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

BONUS: The Pittsburgh Penguins take a 2-1 series lead!

The Pittsburgh Penguins responded after their loss in Game 2 and took down the New York Rangers on Saturday night, 7-4. Hunter is joined by Jon Chik of Locked on Rangers to recap the game and all of the storylines that came from it. They first touch on the first period and how the Penguins came out swinging. They were able to chase Shesterkin for the first time this season after he gave up 4 goals in the first period. and they discuss why the Rangers actually should've kept him in to start the second period. They also touch on how the Penguins FINALLY got some depth scoring, which is something that Hunter has been waiting for this entire series. Could those tip things in the Penguins' favor for the rest of the series? They discuss that, plus Hunter shouts out Evan Rodrigues and especially Louie Domingue for keeping the Penguins in the game in the third period. Of course, there's a small discussion on officiating (No, really, it's small) before the hosts get into what the Rangers need to do in Game 4 to tie the series back up. All of that, plus much more about this crazy game, on this special episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Penguins played fine, but it's time for some adjustments

It wasn't meant to be for the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night. Hunter is joined by Rachel Nones of The Hockey Writers to dissect the game and what went wrong for the Penguins, plus what went right for the Rangers. They first touch on the adjustments that the Rangers made and how they were able to give the Penguins a bit of a tough time defensively. Hunter then looks at what went wrong in front of the net for Louis Domingue before breaking down his performance. Was it good enough to win on most nights? What does the rest of the team need to do to make sure he's put in the best position to come away with the win? They then break down the Rangers' deadline moves and how those players, plus their depth is stepping up in this series, while for the Penguins, it's nowhere to be found. What line changes would Hunter make going into Game 3? Rachel also touches on those players that are making an impact (Yes, especially Frank Vatrano) before they get to some special teams talk. What are the Rangers doing that is frustrating the Penguins PK? What adjustments does Mike Velluci's unit need to make? All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

How about that win for the Pittsburgh Penguins?

So uh, that was one ridiculous hockey game, huh? The Pittsburgh Penguins took Game 1 against the New York Rangers in triple overtime as Hunter welcomes back Nick Zararis to the show. They first touch on how the Penguins were able to do this with Casey DeSmith and Louis Domingue in net as DeSmith had to leave the game due to an injury. They get into how they both were making some solid saves, but also how the Penguins started to play even tighter around Domingue. After that, they touch on how the Penguins dominated for most of the game after the first period and what they were able to do to frustrate the Rangers. Nick gets into some adjustments that he would make for Game 2 since that is almost a must-win for the Rangers going back to Pittsburgh. Hunter gives some updates on the injured players before getting to the Geno goal and how great he looked for most of the game. He also shouts out Brock McGinn, Kasperi Kapanen, and John Marino for their outstanding efforts in this game as they were absolutely flying with the puck. All of that, plus thoughts on the Lindgren hit, officiating in general, the disallowed goal, Sid's line dominating, and much more on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast.

It's Penguins-Rangers time...

The Pittsburgh Penguins ended the regular season in style on Friday night as they took down the Columbus Blue Jackets, 5-3. They came out like a house on fire in the first period and never let up, even though the Jackets did score three goals. Hunter starts the show by giving out a lot of praise to some of the players who have struggled lately. He starts with Evan Rodrigues and how he had his best game in a Penguin uniform in about six or eight weeks. If he can bring this level of play in the playoffs, does that transform the bottom six? Hunter then shouts out Marcus Pettersson after he got his first goal since September and how some of the D-man badly need to start contributing outside of Matheson and Letang. Hunter then looks at Evgeni Malkin's game and how this was another step in the right direction as he was knifing through guys left and right. After that, he goes into some of the negatives, and yes that includes the PK. He touches on what the Penguins need to clean up on that unit heading into the first round against the Rangers. He then pleads for Kasperi Kapanen to be scratched since he had another AWFUL outing for the Penguins. To wrap up, Hunter does a small look ahead to the series and what some of the big storylines will be for the Penguins to win the series. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Who is going to lead the Penguins out of the abyss?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are set to have their final game of the regular season on Friday against the Columbus Blue Jackets but Hunter starts the show by touching on the David Morehouse resignation. He goes into how it's definitely the timing that's a bit of a surprise but reminds the listeners that this was always going to happen at some point. He points out that the new ownership will want their own CEO in charge with a hockey background most likely. He then thanks David Morehouse for everything he did for the Penguins over the years as he oversaw the 3 Stanley Cups, helped pave the way for the new arena deal, and how close he was with Mario and Ron Burkle. After that, Hunter previews Game 82 between the Jackets and Penguins as the latter goes for a 4-game sweep over the former. He goes over the keys for the Penguins to get this victory, plus looks at how banged up the Jackets are heading into this. He also points out the scenarios for the Penguins in the playoffs and how it's all going to be decided tomorrow. After that, he gives a couple of updates on Jason Zucker and Tristan Jarry before ending the show with the question of: Who will lead the Penguins out of this mess?

The Pittsburgh Penguins may be cooked...

That game might have been the final nail in the coffin for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Hunter starts out the show by confirming that he's had enough of the team's recent play and goes on a rant about how this loss was, at least to him. He first lays into Mike Sullivan for changing up the lines for no apparent reason and how that's one of the main reasons they likely lost this game. It looked to be doomed before it even started. He goes into what line changes need to be made for the next game and for the playoffs as the Penguins look to somehow do some damage. He then looks at how the team continues to play atrocious defense and looks at some of the gaping errors that were made on the ice tonight. Where is it all starting? What is causing all of these issues to continually happen? He also slams the team for continuing to give up goals right after they get back into it as that killed any momentum that they got from the Carter goal. He also brings up the issues that people feared heading into the season, including some player's regression, the lack of a true backup to Jarry, and so much more. He also does a deep dive into what went wrong on all of the goals against and which areas need to be cleaned up for the playoffs. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

He also slams the team for continuing to give up goals right after they get back into it as that killed any momentum that they got from the Carter goal. He also brings up the issues that people feared heading into the season, including some player's regression, the lack of a true backup to Jarry, and so much more. He also does a deep dive into what went wrong on all of the goals against and which areas need to be cleaned up for the playoffs.

A tale of two games for the Pittsburgh Penguins this weekend...

The last week of the regular season is finally upon us! Hunter starts the show by recapping what the heck happened in Philadelphia as the Penguins lost to the Flyers and they barely even bothered to show up. Is this a concern for the Penguins moving forward? Hunter touches on that, while also assessing the play of Louie Domingue. Were there goals that he should've had back? He also looks at the team's defensive play in that game and goes into why that can't happen a week from now, no matter who the team plays. After that, he breaks down the win against the Red Wings as the Penguins basically toyed with them the entire game (outside of the first 10 minutes). He touches on how Rickard Rakell continues to be better than expected and ponders if this is the best trade acquisition of the Crosby/Malkin era. He also shouts out Kris Letang for another superb performance and again pleads the Penguins to re-sign him, even if it's for a longer-term than some may want. Hunter then breaks down Evgeni Malkin's return and how the anti-Geno people need to get over the fact that he's still playing at a high level. Finally, he previews the game against the Oilers on Tuesday and how the Penguins can skate away with the victory. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Bonus: Reflecting on the legacy of Montreal Canadiens legend Guy Lafleur (Courtesy Locked On Canadiens)

A few hours after news broke that Guy Lafleur, Montreal Canadiens legend and Hockey Hall of Famer, had passed away at the age of 70, Locked On Canadiens hosts Scott Matla and Laura Saba recorded a special bonus ad-free episode to share their immediate reaction. They reflected on the legacy he leaves behind and tried to contextualize the loss of a favourite Canadiens great, and what it means to the Habs, the city of Montreal, the province of Quebec, the NHL, and hockey as a whole. It would be easy to list his many on-ice accomplishments, such as five Stanley Cups, three Art Ross trophies, the most points scored by any Montreal Canadien, and many, many more, but what he truly meant to the hockey community was more than just the way he played - it was the way he embodied what it meant to be legend off the ice as well.

Previewing the two matchups for the Pittsburgh Penguins this weekend!

Happy Friday! The Pittsburgh Penguins will be back in action twice over the weekend as they have back-to-back games on the road! To start today's show, Hunter gives some updates following practice as Jeff Carter looks to be alright, though Jason Zucker was absent. Was it a maintenance day? Is he sick? Hunter dives into it as he's still going to be traveling with the team on the road. He also touches on Evgeni Malkin's return and why it's not a moment too soon. The Penguins will potentially have their first full complement of forwards for the first time this season. Who will the odd-man-out be? Hunter gets to that, plus what the goaltending rotation may look like. He then previews the game against the Detroit Red Wings as this will be the final time the Penguins play them until next season. He goes over what their lineup will look li,e plus what the penguins need to do in order to win their second in a row. He does the same in the final segment as he previews the game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday. When was the last time the Penguins had a chance to sweep them in a regular-season? Are they all checked out at this point? Finally, Hunter looks at the standings and touches on how the Penguins will almost have the third seed locked up heading into next week if they sweep this back-to-back.

Can Casey DeSmith continue to give the Pittsburgh Penguins this kind of goaltending?

The Pittsburgh Penguins got back into the win column on Thursday night as they took down the Boston Bruins, 4-0! Hunter starts out the show by diving into Jake Guentzel's historic night and how he continues to defy expectations year after year. He starts with his opening goal and how he sent Charlie Coyle to another dimension with the move that he pulled on him. It was a goal that showcased what Guentzel can do when he was the puck on his stick. He then touches on Casey DeSmith's performance and how this could be a big building block for him. Hunter looks at how the Penguins can win consistently in the playoffs if he can be this good (I know, it's A LOT to ask) but they do have the forward depth and the depth on defense to do it. Hunter also looks at the underlying numbers and argues that the Penguins still played fairly well, despite allowing 52 shots. Jason Zucker also found the scoresheet as he got his eighth goal of the season. If he keeps this up, can he also change the course of the Penguins heading into the playoffs? Hunter ponders that point before diving into the listener takeaways to end the show. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Pittsburgh Penguins are finally back in action, plus thoughts on a small goaltending debate...

The five-day break is about to be over! The Pittsburgh Penguins are finally going to be back in action on Thursday night when they host the Boston Bruins. Hunter previews that game to start the show and what the Penguins need to do differently in order to get the result. He goes over Boston's lines and looks to see if there are going to be different looks while also touching on how fresh the legs could be for this matchup. After that, Hunter addresses some fan concerns about the goaltending and why it's not right to be mad at Ron Hextall for not getting a backup at the trade deadline. HOWEVER, he does argue that it was still wrong to not add a goaltender during the offseason since this was always going to be a risky decision to ride back both Jarry and DeSmith. To wrap up the show, Hunter gets into that playoff feel as the weather starts to get warmer and the playoff highlight video watching is in full swing. He also again gets into these last five games and how they look is going to be the big indicator heading into May. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Mike Sullivan has changed up some of the lines...

It's another off day but the Penguins did have practice on Tuesday as they returned to the rink after a couple of days off. Hunter goes into some of the practice updates and a look at the new lines that Mike Sullivan had in store. Is this a preview of what to expect in the playoffs? Hunter ponders that thought and wonders if this weekend will be the time that Brian Boyle comes out of the lineup. Is that the right call? Hunter gives some pros and cons to that situation for HCMS before moving to the defensive pairs. He praises Sullivan for putting Dumoulin back with Letang (even though he should have time off) after going into just how bad the Dumoulin-Marino pairing was. He touches on why these pairs are probably what you all will see come playoff time before getting into the Penguins' possible playoff opponents. He ranks who he'd rather play between the Rangers, Hurricanes. and Panthers before ending the show with a #SidForHartFinalist campaign. No, he won't win it, but he should have a very good case to be a finalist based on what he's done this year. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

This 5-day break is MUCH NEEDED for the Pittsburgh Penguins...

Happy Monday! The Penguins are off for the next few days, but I promise you that the content DOES NOT stop there. Hunter starts the show with the depressing news about Tristan Jarry and how he was this close to writing his redemption story. Is there a chance that he's back for the postseason? Hunter ponders that as he will likely do nothing for the time being before switching gears to Casey DeSmith. Is he good enough to win the Penguins a playoff series? Hunter weighs the pros and cons of that as it's highly likely he's going to start at least part of the Penguins' first-round series. He then shouts out Danton Heinen for his tremendous season after setting a career-high in goals and how that wicked release has done wonders for him this year. Anytime you can get close to 20 goals from a depth player, you're doing something right. Hunter then pivots to the game as a whole and why the Penguins' slow starts continue to be an issue. He explains what the Penguins need to do in order to not give up goals in these situations before hammering them for their brutal 6-on-5 effort again (this is becoming a theme). Finally, he ends the show by explaining just how big this break is and what he's looking for from the team down the stretch. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

16 playoff appearances in a row for the Pittsburgh Penguins! Don't take it for granted...

The Pittsburgh Penguins have officially qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the 16th year in a row! They have extended their record with the longest active playoff streak in North American Sports and Hunter starts the show off by putting into perspective just how amazing this run has been. He also touches on where he was when it all started and how the Penguins quickly learned what it takes to win in the playoffs. This is something that the city won't see again so Hunter also wants the fanbase to embrace this and see if they can go on one more long run. After that, he recaps the game on Thursday night and touches on how great of a start the Penguins had, plus how Kris Letang bounced back in a big way. He also looks at Danton Heinen's game and why he shouldn't ever come out of the lineup, especially with this production this season. He then analyzes the Sid and Jake connection and what's been making it so lethal this season, plus how they embarrassed the Islanders.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have officially qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the 16th year in a row!

Adam Gretz joins the show to talk all things Penguins!

Hunter is finally joined by Adam Gretz of Pro Hockey Talk and Pensburgh as the two get into everything regarding the Penguins right now. They first touch on that last game against the Islanders and what's the main problem with the Penguins right now (outside of the team being sick). They get into Brian Dumoulin and why he should be a prime candidate to be rested down the stretch since his level of play is not where the team or the fans likely envisioned it would be right now. They also get into the officiating and how that reared its ugly head once again in that Islanders game. Is this going to be the standard for the rest of the way? After that, it's time for Evgeni Malkin discourse! The two give their thoughts on the suspension and why it was justified, plus how the DOPS...actually got it right??? Could this be a blessing in disguise for Geno? They get to that, plus touch on who the best playoff matchup is for the Penguins if one even exists based on the possible matchups.

A special crossover to preview the Penguins/Islanders game on Thursday!

Wednesday features a special episode of Locked On Penguins as Gil Martin of Locked On Islanders joins the show! They do a special crossover and start the show by going over the Tuesday matchup between these two teams and how chaotic it was. They go into how it was almost a tale of two halves for each team since the Islanders came out buzzing and then it was the Penguins who really took over in the second half of the game. They touch on what the Penguins need to do better in order to win on Thursday to clinch their playoff berth, (mostly defensively) while also looking at how the Islanders can spoil another chance at having the Penguins not clinch. They then get into the Penguins' push for another deep playoff run and what needs to improve for that to happen, plus a look at the Islanders' offseason and what they need to do to get back into the playoff race for next season.

What a chaotic Penguins-Islanders game...but did you expect anything different?

The Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Islanders played ANOTHER chaotic game on Tuesday night as this was a back-and-forth affair. Hunter starts off the show by laying into the team (while laughing) about the shootout as it was the same old story for the Penguins. He again explains why the Penguins are maybe trying to get the league to abolish the shootout with these attempts were terrible. He also bashes the overtime power play and looks at what the Penguins need to do better in that kind of situation moving forward (if they get another PP in an OT game this year). After that, he compliments Casey DeSmith's play and why it was the right call to start him, plus how he really wasn't to blame for most of those goals tonight. He then goes into Kris Letang's performance and why the Penguins need more out of him. Yes, the bad games are few and far between, but when he's bad, it's REAL bad. Hunter then praises Jake Guentzel and Danton Heinen as they played tremendously, plus goes into why Crosby and Rakell need to stay on a line together.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are back in the win column, plus my thoughts on Evgeni Malkin's antics

The Pittsburgh Penguins have done it! The losing streak is over as they took down the Nashville Predators on Sunday afternoon as Sidney Crosby had another vintage performance. Hunter first starts with that as he congratulates Crosby on reaching another milestone for his career. He also touches on how he was a man possessed in that game and how it looked like he wasn't going to let the team lose. He then pivots to why Rakell needs to be on his line moving forward due to the chemistry and why Bryan Rust needs to play with Evgeni Malkin. He then gets to Evgeni Malkin's antics and why it's the right call for him to be suspended. It's not the first time he's done this either, so it's time for him to learn, to say the least. He then has a rant for some of the hot take artists out there who are saying stuff for the sake of saying stuff. After that, Hunter shouts out Casey DeSmith for his rock-solid play in net and wonders if he should get the start on Tuesday to give Tristan Jarry some more rest. He also speaks about Jason Zucker and how important he will be down the stretch before previewing Tuesday's game against the Islanders and why that will be a tough assignment.

The Pittsburgh Penguins plan for this weekend: Just Win Baby

The Pittsburgh Penguins have a MASSIVE weekend ahead as they have home games against the Washington Capitals and the Nashville Predators. They're almost to the playoffs but if they can win these two games, they'll be basically locked in at this point. Hunter starts out the show by touching on small injury updates and who the Penguins could be welcoming back this weekend. Could it finally happen at Game 73? Hunter isn't jinxing anything, but there's a shot that it could! He then breaks down what the Penguins need to do better for these two games before previewing the Capitals game in the second segment. He goes over who's been doing their things and where the Capitals can be vulnerable since they've been struggling at times lately. He also touches on how the Penguins will have the goaltending advantage, plus the depth advantage as this will likely be the last meeting until next season. Finally, he previews the game against the Predators and why the Penguins will need to just do what they did last night and hope that Juuse Saros doesn't goalie them again.

Do the Pittsburgh Penguins have a problem with the New York Rangers?

Well, it wasn't pretty again for the Pittsburgh Penguins. They lose their third in a row both overall and to the New York Rangers as nothing is going right now. The game looked to be over before it even began as Sidney Crosby was out with an illness and John Marino was also out. With that said, Hunter welcomed back Rachel Nones to the show as the two recap this one and how the Rangers were again able to shut down the Penguins. Would this be a problem in the playoffs? The two go over that topic before getting into how well the Rangers have played defensively against this team and how they've made it even easier on Igor Shesterkin. Hunter then brings up how while the team wasn't BAD tonight, they again didn't get nearly as much traffic as they should've. He goes into why that will continue to be a problem unless the Penguins fix that, before diving into what went wrong on the Rangers' first two goals. The two break them down and look at how the Penguins could've prevented those chances to keep it tied before crediting the Rangers for taking advantage of those mishaps. They also go into if the physical play will carry over into a potential series, plus how Tristan Jarry had a fine rebounding game but it still wasn't enough.

Penguins-Rangers Crossover Preview with Jon Chik of Locked On Rangers!

The Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers are set to play for the final time this regular season on Thursday night and it is a BIG ONE! The Penguins are 4 points behind the Rangers as they're gunning for home ice in the first round of the playoffs. The two hosts waste no time getting into it as they preview the game and what you should hopefully expect (though this game is always unpredictable). They get into the Penguins' struggles as of late and what needs to be cleaned up during these final 11 games heading into the playoffs, plus Hunter flips that back for the Rangers before they go into their deadline acquisitions. Both Jon and Hunter discuss how much Rakell has meant to the Penguins since he was acquired from the Ducks before we switch gears to how the new Rangers have fared in the lineup so far. After that, they touch on an under-the-radar player that could make an impact during the game before offering up their predictions for what will happen (No, Hunter isn't jinxing this one).

The Pittsburgh Penguins drop another one to the Colorado Avalanche and that's...OK. No, really!

The Pittsburgh Penguins weren't able to take down the Colorado Avalanche again as they fell, 6-4. Hunter goes over why it was a fine performance for the Penguins, but that some of their biggest issues came up yet again against a great team. Was this Tristan Jarry's worst performance of the year? Hunter analyzes some of the goals that he gave up (namely the third and fourth ones) and looks at how this could've been a different game had he made those saves. He also breaks down some of the defensive lapses that we saw from the Penguins, notably on the second goal from Marcus Pettersson. He looks at how this kind of defensive effort isn't going to keep him playing when the games matter most while then pivoting to the lack of finishing. After that, Hunter does look at the positives from this performance and what the Penguins still need to correct going into Thursday's showdown against the New York Rangers.

The Pittsburgh Penguins drop another one to the Colorado Avalanche and that's...OK. No, really!

The Pittsburgh Penguins weren't able to take down the Colorado Avalanche again as they fell, 6-4. Hunter goes over why it was a fine performance for the Penguins, but that some of their biggest issues came up yet again against a great team. Was this Tristan Jarry's worst performance of the year? Hunter analyzes some of the goals that he gave up (namely the third and fourth ones) and looks at how this could've been a different game had he made those saves. He also breaks down some of the defensive lapses that we saw from the Penguins, notably on the second goal from Marcus Pettersson.

What do the Penguins have to do on Tuesday to come out on top?

The Pittsburgh Penguins dropped a tough one on Saturday to the Colorado Avalanche over the weekend but there was still A LOT to like from a Penguins perspective. Hunter goes into what impressed him about how the team played, plus how the Penguins can fix their mistakes on Tuesday when these two teams meet again. He then goes into some of the missed chances that the Penguins had and how those affected the game in a big way. After that, he touches on how Tristan Jarry could've played the second goal a bit better, even though it's being a little bit picky. He then sends a message to a part of the Penguins fanbase as they were freaking out over this loss like they just lost to the Arizona Coyotes. He covers a lot of topics in that message, including how this "championship or bust" mentality is too much at times considering what the Penguins have already accomplished in the salary cap era. Finally, he ends the show with some practice and injury notes and details how the Penguins can clinch a playoff spot as early as this coming weekend. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Pittsburgh Penguins are one resilient bunch!

What a win by the Pittsburgh Penguins! They played perhaps in one of hockey's best games of the year against the Minnesota Wild that could be a Stanley Cup Final preview if both teams are able to go on runs! Hunter touches on how this game had a playoff feel to it and commends the Penguins for staying in it, despite the game looking bad at times. He especially praises the team for weathering the storm in the third period after Kaprizov tied it and how they dominated play for the latter half of that period. He also gets into Rickard Rakell continuing to make an impact in more than one way. What's jumping out that he didn't do a lot of in Anaheim? Is he a very mini-version of Patric Hornqvist, but with a better shot? He also gives his thoughts on Jason Zucker and how he was looking before he got knocked out by a dirty hit. WHat's his prognosis looking like? Is there a positive update? Hunter provides what info he can as there hasn't been much said from HCMS before breaking down Geno's OT winner. After he breaks that goal down, he looks at Casey DeSmith's performance and how it was another step in the right direction before dumping on the officials (it was bad for both sides).

A Penguins-Wild preview with Seth Toupal of Locked On Wild!

The Pittsburgh Penguins and Minnesota Wild are set to square off for the second and final time this season on Thursday night! Hunter and Seth preview this game in this special crossover episode as both teams have been among the league's best this season. They started off the show with some talk about the Penguins (which will please the listeners here, of course) and how they've been a perfectly kept secret around the league. Hunter goes into the numbers which have been strong all year long, plus what's given them so much success so far. We then go into the Wild in the second segment and catch everyone up on how they've been doing as of late. Are they a dark horse to come out of the Western Conference? What has this winning streak told Seth about the team? How does he feel about the MAF deal?

Do the Penguins want to shoot the puck a bit more?!?!

The Pittsburgh Penguins dropped a tough one to the New York Rangers on Tuesday night as they passed up A LOT of opportunities. Hunter has Nick Zararis of The Upperbowl GM podcast join the show to recap this game and everything that happened. The two start with the chances the Penguins had and why they overpassed so much. Were they respecting Shesterkin too much? Why was there so much Harlem Globetrotter passing and trying to find the perfect play? Hunter explains why less is sometimes more, as evidenced by the two goals that the Penguins scored. They also touch on why this was a "meh" performance from both teams, plus how Brian Dumoulin continues to have a poor season. He had a couple of brutal plays in this game and Hunter tries to break them down the best he can. He also goes into why the Rangers seem to be a lot more patient than usual and gives Nick the floor to weigh in on that. After that, they both touch on how confident they are in how a best of seven series would go against these two teams and how close they really are two each other.

A historical game for the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday!

The Pittsburgh Penguins made a lot of history on Sunday against the Detroit Red Wings! Hunter starts off the show by going into all the history the Penguins made, including the 11 goals, Evgeni Malkin's game-winning goal, and a whole lot more. He then gets into how the game was closer than it looked, but goaltending made a massive difference yet again. He also brings up Teddy Blueger's outstanding game and how the penalty kill continues to improve as he's in. Is Blueger a top-five PKer in the league? Hunter ponders that question and backs it up with some stats and notes, before getting into Jeff Carter and a small turnaround that he's had the last couple of games. He also touches on Brian Boyle and how he was able to play a good game before getting to the new guy: Rickard Rakell! He got his first goal as a Penguin and it was a BEAUTY! He looks at how physical he's been since coming over, plus had a lineup discussion as Jason Zucker is nearing a return from his hernia. Who comes out when he and McGinn are ready to go? Is Rodrigues' spot safe? He looks at the numbers for him, especially on the top line, but also looks at the lack of production that could be his downfall.

Worst loss of the year for the Pittsburgh Penguins...

The Pittsburgh Penguins were flat-out not ready to play tonight and that's being kind. In this episode, Hunter rips the team a little bit for this unacceptable effort while also focusing on the big picture. Sometimes, good teams beat good teams and you have a crappy night. He goes into what went wrong during those first five minutes of the first period and when he really knew the game was over. Was it after the third goal? Was it when the Penguins couldn't score on a double minor penalty late in the first? He also touches on some of the power play failures during that time, and why dumping the puck in on Shesterkin wasn't the greatest idea, especially with how good he is at playing the puck. He does give two positives to this game though: Kasperi Kapanen and Jeff Carter! Kapanen continues his stellar play the last couple of weeks and if he can keep that up down the stretch, that's another weapon that can be used for the Penguins. He also praises Carter for getting a goal when his legs weren't there and makes a promise to the listeners that the Pens will unlikely have a game like that again. He also gives some perspective on why the team is still fine and will have to respond on Sunday before previewing that game against Detroit. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Previewing Penguins-Rangers with Rachel Nones!

The Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers are set to square off for the second time this season and that means it's time for a Rangers guest to come on the show. Rachel Nones of The Hockey Writers joins the show for the first time to preview Friday night's massive matchup. They go into the Rangers season since the last time these two teams played and what's changed. Were their moves at the deadline good enough? How has Shesterkin been since that game? They also go into what's been driving the Rangers' success this season (shouldn't be a shock), plus how Gerard Gallant has played into the Rangers' success. He also asks Rachel about what adjustments Chris Kreider made over the season to break out in a big way, plus get into some three keys for the game.

The Pittsburgh Penguins get a point and that's...totally fine

The Pittsburgh Penguins didn't bring their best and well, we all saw what happens when they don't do that. They dropped their second of the year to the Buffalo Sabres in a shootout, 4-3. The Penguins didn't deserve a point in this one and Hunter makes sure to jam that point home to everyone at the top of the show. But the fact that they did, shows that this is a damn good team. He goes into the goals that were scored and how rare it is for the three main core players to all score in the same game, but the team still lost. He also touches on the goals against and how those situations can be avoided in the future, plus goes into some players who the teams need more out of right now, especially Brian Dumoulin. WHat's been troubling him? How can he get his mojo back? Does he need to sit for a few games? Hunter also analyzes Casey DeSmith's performance in both regulation/overtime, and then the shootout as he made himself look way too small. He also pleads the Penguins to try and be less boring in shootouts going forward, even if they mean nothing come playoff time. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

An utter dominant performance tonight by the Pittsburgh Penguins!

The Pittsburgh Penguins made sure to show up, even though they were playing a team lower than them in the standings. They came, they saw, and they conquered on Tuesday night as they took down the Jackets, 5-1. Hunter starts off the show by going into how no one should've been worried going into the second period due to how the team started out in the first period. He then goes into the goals that were scored in the second period and it all started with Big Z! Sure it was an empty-netter, but he got the train rolling. Hunter continues to praise the depth scoring for showing up, before shouting out Sidney Crosby for more ELITE play. His pass to Jake Guentzel gets broken down, plus he also set Guentzel up for another goal after it was credited to him. Hunter then marvels at how Evgeni Malkin played, especially with that rip in the third period. He also gives his thoughts on how Kapanen is starting to string together some strong performances before giving his thoughts on how Rickard Rakell played.

Your Pittsburgh Penguins Trade Deadline Recap with Jesse Marshall!

The trade deadline has come and gone and Hunter is back with another edition of the Locked On Penguins podcast with Jesse Marshall of The Athletic! NOTE: This is the live version that went onto the Youtube page earlier. They go into the breaking news right out of the gate as the team decided to trade for Rickard Rakell. Did the Penguins make the right move to trade for Rakell? They then get the breaking news of the return while recording, which always makes for something pretty damn fun. Jesse and Hunter both give their thoughts on the player before discussing he's worth the four assets that the team gave up. They then touch on where he slots into the lineup and what the fourth line should look like now that Simon and ZAR are gone. Finally, they get into how the Penguins stack up to the other teams in the Eastern Conference before wrapping up. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Pittsburgh Penguins get back in the win column over the St. Louis Blues!

The Pittsburgh Penguins dominated yet again, and this time they came away with the win! Hunter starts the show off by touching on how impressive this performance was, considering how good the Blues have been this season. He goes into the numbers and shows how they backed up the eye test with the Penguins peppering Ville Husso all night long. However, he also does warn the Penguins about the one main thing he's concerned about going into the playoffs. He then goes into the shootout and how Bryan Rust became the hero again, while also shouting out Tristan Jarry for his efforts. He's been a completely different player in the shootout as the season has gone on. He also praises Kasperi Kapanen for a great performance and why this is hopefully a step in the right direction, while also complimenting Mike Matheson's efforts yet again.

The Penguins have stayed out of some early trade action...for now

Trades are finally starting! There were three deals on Wednesday and Hunter breaks them down to start the show and how they can impact the Penguins moving forward. He again shot down the Ben Chiarot rumors as nothing short of nonsense since no one meaningful was reporting them. He also confirmed how much he got on the trade market and wonders what that could bean for Pettersson, Marino, or even Dumoulin this summer. He also breaks down the Jarnkrok trade and why the Penguins should aim higher than him. After that, he previews Thursday's matchup against the Blues and brings up some keys to how the Penguins can win. Should there also be any lineup adjustments? Hunter gets into that as well before touching on Sid and Geno getting more ice time together, and how Jeff Carter's leadership may hopefully get Kapanen on the right track.

Penguins play great, but Juuse Saros was NUTS

The Pittsburgh Penguins played OUTSTANDING on Tuesday, but in truth, they got goalie'd. Hunter starts the show out by looking at the underlying numbers from tonight and how certain lines did. He also goes over the full team stats and looks at how this is a complete outlier from how teams usually win in these situations. After that, he praises Saros as he's having a tremendous year in Nashville and how that team reminds him of the Rangers in a little twisted way. He also breaks down Nashville's goals and what led to them being scores, especially the first one. Was it the doomed face off? Was it Dominik Simon that lost his man on the left side of the ice? He also didn't like how Casey DeSmith played the third goal, which basically put the game out of reach. He also goes in on the power play and the issues that the unit is facing and then wraps up the show by debunking some Ben Chiarot rumors. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Penguins continue to beat the great teams!

The Pittsburgh Penguins became winners again on Sunday as they took down the Carolina Hurricanes. Hunter starts out the show by touching on the key points from Sunday's game and he starts with the Penguins' pretty bad third period. He speaks about how the team was able to overcome an onslaught from Carolina and how sometimes, you simply just have to win ugly. He brings up Tristan Jarry's stellar play and how he bailed the team out on numerous occasions. After that, Hunter shouts out the depth scoring for showing up yet again after Ron Hextall called them out just a few days prior. Can those players get back to where they were earlier in the season? How will the team fare against Carolina in the playoffs? He then looks at the latest Penguins trade rumors with the Canucks and if a deal makes sense. Which player does Hunter prefer? Can there be a match? Finally, Hunter previews Tuesday's matchup against Nashville as the tough schedule continues. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

A MASSIVE home win for the Pittsburgh Penguins!

What a statement win by the Pittsburgh Penguins! Hunter has a full game recap ready to go for this one and he starts out by touching on the depth scoring returning when it needed to most. He first goes into Mike Matheson's goal and how he was able to make quite the impact with this return. He breaks down the goal and then touches on how he can't be the defenseman that gets shipped out if the team makes a trade. He then breaks down Mark Friedman's goal and how he continues to impress with this small sample size. Is he able to step into a larger role if a defenseman is moved? How high up in the lineup should he be able to play? He also shouts out Tristan Jarry for holding down the fort after the couple of goals that Vegas scored in the second. He also touches on Valtteri Puustinen's debut and how he should continue to get more of a look, plus has some listener takeaways to end the show.

Are the Penguins going to scratch Kasperi Kapanen?

Kasperi Kapanen might have reached the point of no return for the Pittsburgh Penguins. He looks to be scratched for tomorrow's game against Las Vegas and Hunter discusses whether this is the right thing to do. Could a trade be coming? Hunter also weighs that possibility while also looking at the Penguins' recent callup. That's right, Valtteri Puustinen was called up by the Penguins today in a move that shocked some people, including Hunter. Could he be replacing Kapanen in the lineup? Where should the team slot him in if he does get some ice time? Could this be the final thing the team does before making a trade? Hunter then previews Friday's game against the Golden Knights and how they match up against the Penguins, plus some keys to how the Penguins win. He then closes the show with some updates on Kris Letang's contract talks as there may hopefully be a deal done soon. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The hot stove is heating up for the Pittsburgh Penguins...

Hunter is back with a jam-packed episode of Locked On Penguins and there is A LOT to get to. He starts by offering his takeaways of the game against the Panthers from Tuesday night and how the Penguins actually looked pretty good. He then gets to Kris Letang's mistakes and how those cost the Penguins a shot towards the end of the game. That said, it's probably an outlier. He goes into the numbers and how the Pens went toe-to-toe with a juggernaut and then goes into how the team tied the game for a brief period in the second period. What about the Penguins makes them never out of a game? He gets to that as well, before going into the hot stove. Does it make sense for the Penguins to trade Marino and Rodrigues for Boeser? Is now the time to sell high on Marino? What about Garland for Marino? Would that make more sense? All that, plus the Penguins' struggles at home, coming up on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

The hot stove is heating up for the Pittsburgh Penguins...

Hunter is back with a jam-packed episode of Locked On Penguins and there is A LOT to get to. He starts by offering his takeaways of the game against the Panthers from Tuesday night and how the Penguins actually looked pretty good. He then gets to Kris Letang's mistakes and how those cost the Penguins a shot towards the end of the game. That said, it's probably an outlier. He goes into the numbers and how the Pens went toe-to-toe with a juggernaut and then goes into how the team tied the game for a brief period in the second period. What about the Penguins makes them never out of a game? He gets to that as well, before going into the hot stove. Does it make sense for the Penguins to trade Marino and Rodrigues for Boeser? Is now the time to sell high on Marino? What about Garland for Marino? Would that make more sense? All that, plus the Penguins' struggles at home, coming up on this episode of Locked On Penguins.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Penguins-Panthers preview, plus thoughts on Brian Burke's comments

The Pittsburgh Penguins are back in action on Tuesday night as the Florida Panthers come to town for the second and final time this season! Hunter starts off the show by reminding the listeners how the first two meetings went before diving into how this third one could go. He goes into Florida's lines and what makes them so deadly this season, plus breaks down how Bobrovsky has been able to rebounds this season. He then pushes for Jonathan Huberdeau to get more Hart Trophy love while also breaking down how the Penguins can win another game against a tough team. After that, he goes into some practice notes and breaks down how important Teddy Blueger will be on the fourth line. He explains how it's now or never for ZAR to start producing offensively with Blueger back and how HCMS may use that line going forward. Finally. Hunter breaks down Brian Burke's comments to the media and why it could make sense for the Penguins to be a bit quiet at the trade deadline.

The Penguins get 3/4 points, but get hosed by the officials...

The Pittsburgh Penguins have ended their back-to-back getting 3/4 points, though it was overshadowed by the officials. Hunter starts out the show by touching on how great the game was and how these teams need to meet in the playoffs for a seven-game series. He then gets to the elephant in the room about the NHL's officiating and how it ruined the end of the game. He dives into the Letang/Trocheck situation and how the refs should've called both guys off or none at all. He then squashes the rumors that the "Pens get all the calls" before diving into Casey DeSmith's play. Has he earned his job back? Does the team need a backup goaltender at the deadline? Hunter also breaks down the first period with both goals and how Crosby continues to be a machine. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Now, was THAT the win of the season for the Pittsburgh Penguins?

Utter DOMINATION by the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight! Hunter dives into perhaps the game of the year by the Penguins as they were ready right from the jump. He breaks down Heinen's goal and how it was all started by Evgeni Malkin as he was a menace all night. He also touches on the play of Kasperi Kapanen on that goal as he made one of the finest decisions he's made all year. After that, he gets to how this is the blueprint for the Penguins to go on a Stanley Cup run, plus gets into Geno's revenge on Bellemare. It was 'The Shift Pt. 2" for Geno and all it needed was a vintage slapshot like we all saw against the Philadelphia Flyers. Hunter also gives his thoughts on Mark Friedman and how he continues to be a lunatic, plus ponders the question if the Lightning have a problem against the Penguins. Of course, the show ends with the listener takeaway segment before previewing what's to come on Friday. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Pittsburgh Penguins are about to be tested...

The Pittsburgh Penguins are set to be back in action on Thursday as they have a date with the defending champs! Hunter previews that matchup a bit later in the show and first starts out the show with some prospect talk! Where will Frasca and Gauthier play for the rest of the season?

Hunter answers all of those questions before previewing Thursday's matchup against the Lightning and then going into some trade options from the Sabres! The Penguins sent two scouts to look at their game against the Leafs on Wednesday. Is Tage Thompson an option? What about Olofsson? Jeff Skinner?

The Penguins own the Blue Jackets...yet again!

The Penguins just continue to own the Columbus Blue Jackets! Hunter starts off today's episode with an explanation about why Crosby's goal stood while clowning himself along the way since he had it wrong at the start. He touches on how Elvis initiated the contact at the start and how Crosby had nowhere to go while trying to score. After that, he gets into why this was a massive weekend for the team as they got a much-needed 4/4 points. Evgeni Malkin continued his hot streak and Hunter notes that he looks fully back for the first time since the early portions of last season. Casey DeSmith also had a great start and is finally turning the corner. Is it enough to win the backup job past the deadline?

Worst loss of the season for the Penguins? You bet...

Woof! The Pittsburgh Penguins got blasted by the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night as nothing positive came from the game.

That said, he does get into what went wrong for the Penguins and he starts with the defensive zone coverage. He lays into Marcus Pettersson and John Marino, plus Evan Rodrigues for how bad they were during that span in the first period.

Tristan Jarry becomes a Penguins legend, plus who could the Penguins go after at the deadline?

It's an off day but again, the content never stops there with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Hunter first brings up Brad Marchand's statement and how Tristan Jarry is now a legend in Pittsburgh. Is there any way out of it for Marchand? He also explains why it's great that Bettman upheld the suspension since he hasn't done a lot right lately in a swath of other areas. After that, Hunter brings up the idea of a small play-in for the NHL (8 vs 9, 7 vs 10) and if that makes sense since the NBA does it. Finally, Hunter does a small trade deadline primer and looks at some of the options for the Penguins as it's coming up quickly. How aggressive should the team be? Who or what should be in play?

Sometimes, you don't have it and that doomed the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight

Thursday night turned into one of those games for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Hunter starts off the show by touching on how the team needs to throw this one into the trash. They started out slow and aside from a few minutes in the first period, they didn't have it. He breaks down the goals against and touches on how all of the defensemen need to be a lot better, especially Kris Letang. He goes into how Letang screwed up big-time on two of the goals but also makes sure to say that this won't be the norm moving forward. He then brings up the new lines and how they fared tonight. Should Geno's line stick together? What about Kapanen with Rodrigues? After that, he does a small preview for Sunday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes as that promises to be a thriller.

Sidney Crosby gets his 500th, plus the Penguins win!

Well, it was poetic! Sidney Crosby scored his 500th career NHL goal on Tuesday night and of course, it was against the Philadelphia Flyers. That's where Hunter starts today's show as he walks everyone through the goal and how it was so vintage. It came from his spot, in his house, against the team he's hated for almost two decades. Hunter also explains why it couldn't have been scripted better while also going into how much he continues to mean to this organization. How many goals does Sid have left? Hunter also weighs that question before getting to Kris Letang's OT winner. He explains how it was a great hockey IQ play that a lot of other players wouldn't have done in that situation and how he was the best player on the ice. He then goes into Casey DeSmith's continued struggles and why the team HAS to go get a goalie, plus how the comeback was fully started. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Another win for the Penguins, plus will Sidney Crosby get his 500th against the Flyers?

The Pittsburgh Penguins win again! They took down the New Jersey Devils on Sunday afternoon with a 4-2 win in a game where the Penguins were the better team. Hunter begins the show with a shoutout to Mike Matheson as he continues to play his tail off. How is he continuing to have the best season of his career? Should he get more minutes? He also goes into some of the underlying numbers before switching over to Bryan Rust. Hunter explains how this is a player who the Penguins may not be able to let walk. How can the team create enough cap space to sign him? Will the contract likely age well? After that, Hunter touches on Brian Boyle and how he's continuing to prove him and everyone else wrong. Should he be in the playoff starting lineup? How has he been able to do this on a consistent basis?

Time for the New Jersey Devils, plus who should the Penguins want to play in the playoffs?

Happy Friday! Evgeni Malkin is back again for the Penguins based on line rushes and that's where Hunter starts today's show. He goes into who was sent down and who is likely to come out of the lineup for him on Sunday.

The Penguins win again! Hunter recaps the 2-0 shutout win over the Ottawa Senators and he makes sure to shout out Matt Murray during the opening of the show. Hunter praises him for being the main reason this game was close, while also appreciating what he's done for this franchise in their history. He then breaks down the Jeff Carter game-winner and how that came to be, plus touches on Casey DeSmith. He had a second straight stellar start for the Penguins, this one resulting in a shut-out.

Brad Marchand gets his, what's next for the Penguins?

Happy Wednesday! It was another busy day for the Pittsburgh Penguins as Hunter first gives his immediate thoughts on the Brad Marchand suspension. He touches on how it's not as long as it should be and then pivots to how the NHL should have sent a message. Hunter also goes into the idea that the Penguins should've responded, but how it goes against what Mike Sullivan wants. The Penguins were undisciplined during the Byslma days and everyone wanted them to clean up their act, now that they don't retaliate, do people want them to?

The Penguins are back on Tuesday against the Bruins!

The All-Star Break is over which means the Pittsburgh Penguins are back. Hunter starts the show off with the unfortunate news about Evgeni Malkin as he's now in COVID protocol. How long will he likely be out? Who will take his place in the lineup? He then ponders the thought of rookie Valtteri Puustinen a legit shot in the lineup. Hunter explains how it can't hurt due to how the team knows what it has in Dominik Simon, plus Zohorna hasn't impressed THAT much this season. He breaks down Puustinen's game a bit before doing a full preview against the Bruins. Is this team being overlooked? Before last year, when was the last time the team won in Boston?

The Penguins are back on Tuesday against the Bruins!

The All-Star Break is over which means the Pittsburgh Penguins are back. Hunter starts the show off with the unfortunate news about Evgeni Malkin as he's now in COVID protocol. How long will he likely be out? Who will take his place in the lineup? He then ponders the thought of rookie Valtteri Puustinen a legit shot in the lineup. Hunter explains how it can't hurt due to how the team knows what it has in Dominik Simon, plus Zohorna hasn't impressed THAT much this season. He breaks down Puustinen's game a bit before doing a full preview against the Bruins. Is this team being overlooked? Before last year, when was the last time the team won in Boston? How can the Penguins break them down?

Jake Guentzel came oh so close...plus more Penguins All-Star Weekend thoughts

The All-Star weekend is here and that means Jake Guentzel and Tristan Jarry got to participate in the Skills Competition. Hunter gets into Guentzel doing the accuracy shooting and how close he was to winning it. Would he have beaten Aho if he had made that last one on the first try? He also touches on how the world got to see just good Guentzel is at those close-range shots and how far he's come. He also talks about Tristan Jarry and how he didn't come close to winning the saves competition before giving his thoughts on the event as a whole. Should a couple of the new events come back? Was one of them rigged? He then speaks about Gary Bettman's press conference and why his answer on the Blackhawks was so troubling, plus gives some BOLD predictions for the second half of the season.

The All-Star break couldn't have come at a better time for the Penguins...

It's now a 4th straight loss for the Penguins but a rest couldn't have come at a better time. Hunter starts off this episode with what went wrong for the Penguins. Kasperi Kapanen continues his poor play as Hunter breaks down that final sequence in overtime. How should've Kapanen played that better? What should happen next with him? He also touches on the poor defensive play in front of the net while also saying how the Penguins deserved a better fate with how they played. How has the power play been able to click? Hunter does a deep dive on what makes that unit go, plus how they're taking advantage of all these penalty-killing units. Other topics discussed: Was that Caps disallowed goal goaltender interference? How could Crosby have played Orlov's OT goal better? How can the team keep Bryan Rust long-term?

The Penguins contract extensions have begun!

Jeff Carter has been signed for two more years and Hunter gives his thought on the move as he starts by saying it makes a lot of sense in multiple ways. He goes into how this shows that the Penguins are not planning on rebuilding anytime soon, plus how Geno and Letang are still in good shape. Hunter also brings up the point where the team doesn't have to continually waste assets to replace Nick Bonino. He then gets into some of the listener's reactions and answers some questions, plus does a full game preview for Thursday against Seattle and also looks ahead to Detroit on Friday.

Sidney Crosby is closing in on ANOTHER milestone...

It was a slow start for the Penguins but they notched another win on Tuesday night against the Arizona Coyotes. Hunter starts the show with the biggest storyline and that has to be Brian Boyle. He may be up for Goal of the Year at the end of the season with how he was able to score between the legs. What's driving his success this season? Is he going to be playing every game down the stretch? Hunter then gets to Sidney Crosby's unbelievable night as he's inching closer to 500 goals. How many more can he get up to? We can't forget about his play on Bryan Rust's goal either as he did a vintage pass. Other topics discussed: Bryan Rust's season and why more people should be speaking about it, another memorable Kris Letang game, Brock McGinn getting to double digits, and so much more.

The Penguins win again...but it comes at a cost

Another day, another win for the Pittsburgh Penguins! Hunter recaps Sunday's game against the Winnipeg Jets and how it was a tale of two halves. The Penguins stunk in the first two periods, but then rallied in the third and overtime to win in a shootout. Hunter first touches on how the Penguins can limit the 2-on-1's moving forward, plus how a slow start shouldn't have been surprising due to how this looked to be a "scheduled loss." He also touches on Tristan Jarry's performance and how he's gotten better at breakaways and odd-man rushes, plus starts the #JarryforVezina campaign. Finally, Hunter speaks on some of Winnipeg's dirty hits, Sid's shootout winner, Kapanen's resurgence, and a whole lot more. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

What can't Sidney Crosby do at this point?

Make it four in a row for the Penguins! They went to Columbus for the first time in two years and took down the Blue Jackets 5-2 thanks to Sidney Crosby's heroics. Before that talk takes place, Hunter starts with the goaltending subject as it was another horrific night for Casey DeSmith. Should Ron Hextall make a move now? Who should he go over if he does? Was Sullivan pulling DeSmith a message to Hextall? Hunter gets into those questions before diving into SId's hat trick and breaking it all down. He goes into each goal and why they were each very Sidney Crosby-like goals. He also touches on how Bryan Rust had a pass that was perhaps more important than some may think on one of the goals, plus how Mike Matheson continues to prove everyone wrong.

Not the Penguins best performance, but they keep winning...

It wasn't pretty but the Penguins got the job done over the Ottawa Senators. Hunter is back with a full game preview and starts the episode off with some negative thoughts as the Penguins weren't close to their A-game. What do the Penguins need to do better moving forward? Is the front of the net area becoming a problem? He also notes how great Ottawa's young players looked tonight as they stole the show, especially Josh Norris. He also gives his thoughts on Dominik Simon's goal of his career, plus how Mike Matheson continues his stellar campaign. Is this the best hockey he's played so far? Plus was this Kris Letang's worst performance of the season? Hunter goes into that discussion as well as he was definitely spirited but that doesn't mean he played well.

A fully healthy Penguins lineup? Is this allowed?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are fully healthy! Yes, you read that right. All players have returned from COVID protocol and there are no injuries to any of the regulars. Hunter first touches on that in the first segment and what the top 12 should look like once Mike Sullivan deems it fit for Heinen and Aston-Reese to officially return. Could there be some changes along the way? If Sullivan does make some changes, what will they be? Hunter also touches on that before previewing Thursday's game against the Senators. Was this team always destined to be bad again? Will Matt Murray get the start? He also speaks about Murray and why he deserves to get a rocking ovation since this could be the first time he's at PPG since the trade (if he shows up since he's sick).

Could there be some changes along the way? If Sullivan does make some changes, what will they be? Hunter also touches on that before previewing Thursday's game against the Senators. Was this team always destined to be bad again? Will Matt Murray get the start? He also speaks about Murray and why he deserves to get a rocking ovation since this could be the first time he's at PPG since the trade (if he shows up since he's sick).

The Penguins are still winning, despite a drop in play!

The Penguins will finally conclude their long Western swing on Monday night in Las Vegas, but first, they got a gigantic win against the Sharks on Saturday. Hunter goes into his biggest takeaways from that game and it starts with how the team is able to win, despite not playing their best. He touches on how Louis Domingue basically stole that game, plus argues for him to get more starts. Could he be the answer at backup? Could the team not have to look for a trade? Sidney Crosby also woke up from a small slumber and Hunter breaks down the OT winner and how he was able to make that play. Is a breakout (goal-wise) coming from him? From there, he previews Monday night's matchup against Las Vegas and also talks about how the top 8 teams in the conference are virtually locked in. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Evgeni Malkin comes back with a VENGEANCE for the Penguins

Happy Wednesday! Hunter is back with a full game recap of the Penguins-Ducks game from Tuesday night and it all starts with Evgeni Malkin. Hunter goes into how he was flying right from the puck drop, including how this was the best he's looked in quite some time while also dunking on the people who said he should've traded or mess up the structure. Who should be his linemates moving forward? Hunter also touches on the brilliance of Sidney Crosby yet again after he jumped about 10 feet into the air for a goal. Other topics discussed: Should Tristan Jarry be top 3 for the Vezina? Which backup goalies should the team go after? Should the team trade its first-rounder for a forward?

What could the Penguins lines look like when healthy?

It's Friday but that still means another episode of Locked On Penguins. For this episode, Hunter is welcomed back by Doug Glattke and there are no shortages of topics to discuss. They first discuss Kris Letang and what a season he's having. Could he get Norris consideration? Is his contract price only going up? Is he the most important player to re-sign during the season? The conversation then shifts to Evgeni Malkin and his impending return. Who should be his linemates? They also discuss how he's not going to mess up the "structure" while also bringing up the PP. With Geno coming aboard, who comes off the top unit? They also preview the game against Dallas on Saturday while doing a quick look ahead to next week's schedule, and a whole lot more.

Penguins down Flyers 6-2 to make it TEN IN A ROW

MAKE IT TEN! Hunter is back to recap another win for the Penguins and it's getting close to being the same old story. Bryan Rust continues his torrid pace with seven goals in his last three games and Jake Guentzel also hasn't missed a beat at all. He remains hot and Hunter recaps both their goals and what led to them, especially the first Rust one. He also gets into Kris Letang: Should he be a Norris finalist this season? What's driving this strong play? After that, he touches on Rodrigues' goal and how he took Carter Hart's soul. What's been driving his overall play too? Other topics discussed: How can this team go all the way? Is Sidney Crosby all the way back still? How great was Brian Boyle's goal? Is the power play starting to heat up?

Some good Penguins news with a lot of bad Penguins news...

It's always a busy Monday for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Hunter recaps the news on the team as they have once again been hit by COVID. Who is now in the protocols? Which players will have to step up in their absence? Hunter also goes into if the protocols could be changing now that the CDC has changed some guidelines. Could asymptomatic players come back a bit sooner than symptomatic players? Will the NHL follow what the NBA is doing? Evgeni Malkin and Bryan Rust are also nearing their returns, but who's will be first? Could we see Malkin on Sid's wing to start out a little bit? Which players from the first wave of callups will likely be in Friday's lineup? All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Will the Penguins play at all next week?

Merry Christmas! Hunter recaps a small newsy Friday around the NHL as the league has paused for another day.

Will this help all of their injured players? He goes into that as well before touching on Mike Sullivan in the second segment. How hard is his system to play against? Does it speak volumes that the team still fully listens to him after all of these years? How much of his footprints are on this team? Finally, Hunter ends with some playoff talk and ponders the thought that most teams that are currently in it likely will be at the end of the season.

Can we learn to respect both Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin?

It's another late-night one! Hunter is back with a fresh episode on the Pittsburgh Penguins. He first goes into a deep preview on the Sabres...was the falling off expected? Is Tage Thompson turning into a Penguins killer? How has Kyle Okposo been able to rewind the clock? Hunter then touches on Kasperi Kapanen and how he's been able to turn it around. Was regression to the mean always the likeliest of scenarios? Does this turnaround coincide with how good his underlying numbers have been? He then discusses Jason Zucker's play and what the team should do with him before ending the show with a rant about how the DC media needs to stop dragging Crosby down when Ovechkin does something great.

He goes into his biggest takeaways of this game and it has to begin with Evan Rodrigues. He touches on what he's on pace for after another outstanding game, before then going into the full Mike Matheson experience. Is this what everyone should expect from him on a nightly basis? Hunter also brings up Kris Letang after another strong performance and touches on the Pierre Lebrun report about a contract extension. Should Letang get another long-term one? What's the sweet spot for a contract for him? He also speaks about the power-play woes, Tristan Jarry, Kasperi Kapanen, and a whole lot more.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

How good can this Penguins team be?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are back streaking. That's now four wins in a row as they're sitting comfortably in a playoff spot. Hunter recaps the game against the Anaheim Ducks as it wasn't the prettiest win, but it got the job done. He touches on Brock McGinn and how he continues to have a stellar season for Pittsburgh. Does he have more of an offensive pulse than Tanev? He also touches on Casey DeSmith and how he's turning his season around. Does the team not need to trade for a backup anymore? How will this help Jarry the rest of the way? Hunter then gives his thoughts on Jim Rutherford's comments on Monday before doing a small preview of the Habs game on Tuesday.

The Penguins finally change up the lines!

Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan finally did it. He has changed up the second line after it badly struggled again on Wednesday night against the Oilers.

He also reacts to Drew O'Connor likely getting another shot as he was playing well early in the season. After that, Hunter does a full preview for the Canucks matchup and focuses on how Pittsburgh can win the game, plus how badly Jim Benning has bungled the team. Finally, Hunter touches on the Monday matchup against Seattle and how the Penguins should still be kicking themselves over that decision on Jared McCann. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Penguins still can't finish, which leads to a 5-2 loss

A third straight loss is never good but Hunter is here to break it all down. He starts by touching on the lack of finishing ability and old take exposing himself before anyone else does.

He then goes into Brian Dumoulin and what went wrong on those two goals against, plus how Kris Letang needed to defend Zach Hyman better on the game's opening goal.

Lots of news for the Pittsburgh Penguins on Cyber Monday!

The Pittsburgh Penguins were in all the headlines on Monday! Hunter first touches on a couple of takeaways from Saturday's loss against the Montreal Canadiens. Is there any reason to be concerned moving forward? Was that just another case of getting goalie'd? He also goes into Evan Rodrigues and dives into some numbers from him this season. How has he been able to be one of the best players in hockey? Should he be on the top line even when Rust comes back? After that, Hunter goes into some injury updates as Geno looks to be getting closer. What is the updated timetable? He also does a short Flames preview before touching on the Penguins announcing the sale with Fenway Sports Group. Is Ron Burkle still going to remain with the team? What changes will take place, if any?

Tristan Jarry gets some much-needed redemption, Penguins win 1-0 over Islanders

That's five in a row for the Penguins! Hunter recaps the Penguins 1-0 win over the Islanders on Friday night and he starts off with how well the team played. Pittsburgh skated New York off the rink and got chances all game and if it weren't for Sorokin, this could've been worse. He goes into the underlying numbers of the game and how Pittsburgh dominated throughout before getting into Kasperi Kapanen. He also touches on Tristan Jarry and how he continues to play well and makes the case that Team Canada could come calling if he keeps this up. Also discussed: Was anyone surprised by the Islanders' 4th line antics in the third? Is Evan Rodrigues making the decision for Rust's new contract easier? Should Sid start to deke more?

Is everyone done panicking about the Pittsburgh Penguins?

The Penguins swept that Canadian road trip and look to be back! Hunter recaps Pittsburgh's 3-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets where it was a classic case of not how you start, but how you finish. He goes into the team defense and how it's been a night and day changed since Sullivan came back. What changed? Is the team being more aggressive with the lead? He then gets into Evan Rodrigues and how he continues to be a nightmare for other teams this season. He argues why he should never come out of the lineup, plus ponders if he should be elevated. He also touches on Tristan Jarry and how he had another stellar performance. Will the team need a better backup for him though? Hunter knows that Jarry will need some rest sooner rather than later. Other topics discussed: When will Sid start producing some more? Is Jake making everyone spend their money on milkshakes? What's been the main difference with Heinen this season?

Can the Penguins sweep this road trip?

Well, well, well. The Pittsburgh Penguins aren't dead just yet! Hunter recaps the Penguins' ginormous 2-0 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday night as it was everything they needed. He goes into that while it was boring, Toronto didn't do a lot offensively in the high-danger areas. Is that the blueprint going forward? Was it a testament to how great of a coach Mike Sullivan is? He also touches on Jake Guentzel and the hot streak that he's on. Was this always expected from Jake? He then ponders on Jason Zucker and whether he's still having a great season, despite the goals drying up. Is it still good when he's making excellent passes like the one to Jeff Carter? Also, discussed: When is that special announcement coming? How are the Jets better this year than previously anticipated? Has Brock McGinn turned the corner?

A Penguins shootout win? Is that allowed?

A shootout win for the Penguins? Yep! The Pittsburgh Penguins got a ginormous win on Thursday night and they now have 6/8 points in their last 4 games. Hunter recaps the game and starts with his biggest storyline which is...well Tristan Jarry. He's been the team MVP this season and put it all together in this one to stop 3 out of 4 in the shootout. He also goes into Evan Rodrigues and how folks continue to eat crow on him as he's been stellar as ever. What's been driving that? He also discusses Kris Letang's outstanding play on Blueger's opening goal, and what it should remind the fanbase of. Also, discussed: When will some reinforcements return? What was better about the PP? Should this be the last shootout the team plays? What's the road ahead? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Penguins couldn't comeback, drop a 3-2 thriller to the Blackhawks

Well, it wasn't meant to be as the Penguins dropped a thriller in this one to Chicago, 3-2. Hunter recaps the loss against Chicago and goes into what went wrong, especially during the first two periods.

He also gets into what's plaguing the power play as he begs the team to start taking better quality shots and have better puck movement.

A special Locked On Wild/Locked On Penguins to preview this matchup!

As promised, we have a special crossover with Seth Toupal of Locked On Wild to preview this matchup against the Penguins! The two get into how both teams have done this season as it starts with the Penguins COVID situation. Is anyone close to returning? How has Pittsburgh been able to have a lot of success this season? The tables then turn to Minnesota as Seth goes into Kirill Kaprizov's "slow" start and how Joel Erikkson Ek has played this season. They also get into how stingy Minnesota's defense has been this season (and for the last several) before ending on what the keys will be for each team to win this one.

The Penguins need to do better with that written statement from today...

Today's start to the episode is a bit different as Hunter goes into the allegations against the Pittsburgh Penguins organizations, namely Clark Donatelli, Billy Guerin, Mario, and Ron Burkle. He shares his thoughts on the statement the team made and why 1 big part of it should've been scrapped or changed since it came out wrong. He also goes into how serious these allegations are and how bad it can potentially be for the organization if a lot more comes to light than what's out there. Other topics discussed in this episode: A full preview against the Flyers on Thursday. What's making them go this year? Has Cam Atkinson made Hunter eat a bit of crow? A deep dive into Marcus Pettersson's season thus far. Just how good are his numbers? What's been the secret sauce for his best start to the season of his career?

What needs to stop for the Penguins to start winning again? Well... A LOT

It's 3 losses in a row and the sky is burning for the Pittsburgh Penguins. At least that's what some folks are saying. In this episode, Hunter goes over a few big moments from the game against the Devils, including the horrendous officiating which gave NJ the game. He also goes over how Sid was not great, to say the least, though that's likely going to regress in the future. Are POJ and Marino going to be paired up together soon? Based on line rushes during Monday's practice, it seems that way, though Hunter explains some pros and cons to that pairing. Also, discussed: When will Kris Letang make his return?

Another stinker by the Penguins...well Jacob Markstrom made it that way. Hunter starts the episode off by shouting out Jack Bushman from Locked On Blackhawks as he's done an incredible job covering the latest awful situation there before going into the team getting goalie'd.

Lightning strikes as the Penguins fall, 5-1

It was bound to happen at some point. The Pittsburgh Penguins fell to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night and with that, dropped their first regulation game of the season. Hunter recaps the full game, starting with the play of both goaltenders. That's where the game was lost for the Penguins as sometimes you run into the goalie who's the best on the planet. He also goes into how the team played overall, as Evan Rodrigues and Jason Zucker really stood out. Other topics discussed: How NHL officials inserted themselves into a game yet again, why Tampa Bay was so mad out of the gate, Kasperi Kapanen's struggles, Drew O'Connor's strong play, and why no fan should be mad at this start.

Is it too early for Mike Sullivan to be coach of the year?

What a win for your Pittsburgh Penguins! Mike Sullivan has everyone bought in and it showed in that 7-1 drubbing of the Maple Leafs. Hunter spends his first segment touching on Sullivan and how he may have already won the Jack Adams with how the team is playing. He then compares the Leafs to the Penguins and shares some lessons that the Leafs could learn from Pittsburgh after they got humiliated in that game. After that, Hunter goes into his top performers of the game and it has to start with Drew O'Connor. Has he fully played his way into the lineup? What about Evan Rodrigues? He scored his first goal of the season and did a great job centering Jake Guentzel. Hunter also updates the numbers on Tristan Jarry, plus shares some big updates from practice as Sidney Crosby gets closer to a return. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Good news on Tristan Jarry & Sid returns to practice!

The team is almost done from being off but the Penguins got some much-needed updates on Friday! First, Sidney Crosby practiced with the team and provided an update on his injury. When is he expected back? How long has he been dealing with the injury? Hunter also goes over Malkin back onto the ice in full equipment and thinks about when he could be back. Tristan Jarry is also back as he had a false positive test. After that, Hunter does a full preview into the matchup against Toronto as he looks into what's made them so tough this year & also shouts out Jason Spezza as well. Finally, he ends the show with thoughts on the Blueger line and how it has the potential to be one of the best bottom 6 lines in hockey. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

COVID keeps ravaging the team...

Never a dull moment with the Penguins, huh? Doug Glattke joins the show again to touch on the state of the team, but of course, the two have to start with the big news of the day: Jarry and Carter are placed on the COVID list and will be out for the foreseeable future. Can the team rely on Casey DeSmith to steal some games? How far can Rodrigues go as the top-line center? Doug also thinks that the wingers will do most of the heavy lifting before the two transition to the play of Jarry and Marino. What's different about both of them this year? Can it be sustained? Also brought up: Kasperi Kapanen's struggles (what's causing them?), what the lines should look like going forward, the road ahead, and much more! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Should Kapanen be moved up to Sid's line when he's back?

It's an off day, but when has that ever meant the content stops? Well, it doesn't and Hunter first touches on Tristan Jarry and how great he's been this season. He dives into more of the stats to show it, plus sends a message to some of the fanbase to support him more as he tries and get back on track. He also shouts out Kris Letang again after another tremendous performance and goes into some of his numbers as well. After that, we have a mailbag segment that includes: Should Kapanen be promoted when Sid returns? How should the lines shake out? Should "Seek and Destroy" still be the Penguins song coming onto the ice? All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Has Tristan Jarry's redemption started?

Well, it wasn't the Penguins' night but that doesn't mean there weren't a lot of positives to take out of this game. Hunter first touches on Tristan Jarry and how great he's been to start the season. He explains why it's okay to be objective about him despite his recent playoff failure and how he's been the team's best player to start the season. He also goes into the Teddy Blueger line as they had a night to remember, plus how John Marino looks like a different player. What has changed for him? He also dives into his numbers with Pettersson. Also touched on: Matheson's tough debut, Kapanen's struggles, Kris Letang playing like a top 5 defenseman, and Mike Lange's amazing ceremony. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

A dream start thus far? That's right!

Sure it's late on a Monday but it's never too late to talk about a game from Saturday, right? That's exactly what Hunter does in this episode as the Penguins are off to a roaring start. He touches on Danton Heinen's continued hot streak and what's driving it. He also loves how MAF got lit up for 4 goals and sends a strong message to any fan who was rooting for the team to lose just for Fleury to get a win. Also discussed in this episode: Was that game just the beginning for Jason Zucker? What differences are in Jarry's game thus far? Should O'Connor be in the lineup when the team is healthy? How Brock McGinn answered the bell after being called out. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! BetOnline AG There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust. Betonline.ag!

Could Sid be back sooner rather than later?

Sidney Crosby is back skating but it's in an even better way now. He has 2 hands on his stick and he's shooting the puck soooooooo what gives? Hunter explains when he sees him start practicing with the team, plus when he'll likely make his regular-season debut. He also goes over what line combinations you'll see in the preseason game against Detroit and who will have to stand out to get a roster spot. Is this Brian Boyle's last chance? Hunter then goes over what Mike Sullivan said to the media on Thursday as the last preseason game will be a dress rehearsal. Is that the right move? Should the team instead be resting players? All that, plus some thoughts on Team USA and ESPN's new intermission show idea, on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Drew O'Connor has heard our slander and doesn't care

It's a late-night one but would hockey really be back without this? Hunter starts the show by recapping the Penguins preseason win over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night and who stood out.

Hunter also assesses Casey DeSmith's play before then turning to Thursday evening's game against the Detroit Red Wings. He breaks down the lineup you should be expected to see and predicts who will have a strong showing. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

A second preseason game? Why yes, let's do it!

Happy Friday! Hunter previews the Penguins matchup against the Buffalo Sabres tonight as they'll play in their second preseason game.

How will Casey DeSmith be in his first game back? After that, Hunter goes into the practice groups and why it's disappointing for a select few players to be left off before clamoring for the listeners to subscribe to ESPN+ if you're out of the market.

Preseason overreactions? You bet.

The first preseason game is in the books, and yes, Hunter is overreacting. He starts the show by touching on the positives from the game. Does POJ deserve to be on the team? Should he be in the top 6 after last night's performance? He also touches on Poulin and Legare as they had great performances as well. What else do they need to do to make the team? Danton Heinen also had a good night, is that a sign of things to come. After that, he gets to the negative. Is Tristan Jarry's performance a cause for concern? What about Chad Ruhwedel with his quest to be the No. 6? All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

A mini Olympic Preview with Doug Glattke!

An old guest returns to the show as Doug Glattke from TheForechecking TV checks in and gives his players that he's looking to see impress in training camp. Does he think Radim Zohorna could steal a spot? Is Will Reilly on track for a good showing? What about Niclas Almari? Hunter also asks Doug what he expects from the team this season.

Finally, the 2 then do a small Olympic Preview as all of the NHL players will be going back. Is Sweden underrated coming in? What does he expect Team USA to do? Is anyone beating Canada?

Season 3 time? Season 3 time

Season 3 of this podcast is out as we are back to daily episodes! Hunter starts out the show with some BOLD predictions for this season, and 3 of them (1 of them being a bonus) involve players with what Hunter thinks they're going to do. Could they be a bit too outlandish after what happened last season? Where does Hunter have the Penguins finishing Metro wise this season? After that, he recaps development camp as JD Forest spoke to the media to wrap it all up. Who was he impressed by? Could Cam Lee be a sneaky choice to make the team out of camp? What about Josh Maniscalco? After that, Hunter goes over the training camp roster and adds some thoughts on some of the players that were invited, which include Sam Lafferty as he's just never been able to put it together.

Who's going to impress in development camp?

It's the last week of the offseason...at least for this show! Hunter starts this episode off with a Tyler Bozak update as he has signed back with the St.Louis Blues. What does this mean moving forward? Is the 4C job now Brian Boyle's to lose? After that, he focuses on the development camp roster and who stands out on it as that camp this weekend. Who has the best chance of making the roster this season? Is Valtteri Puustinen the most underrated player in that group? Hunter also focuses on the TNT roster that came out today about their broadcast lineup and then ends the show on a funny tweet that he saw earlier on Tuesday. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Those Tyler Bozak rumors are heating up

It's a late-night one, but sometimes those are the best! Hunter starts the show with some more Tyler Bozak news as Elliotte Friedman has now linked him to the Penguins. When is the decision coming? What could the contract look like? Will he play when the team is fully healthy? He then gets into his Team USA roster and yes, it includes Jake Guentzel. But where does he slot in? Is this the best team the country has had in years? What players are left off? Finally, Hunter ends the show with some 3rd jersey talk and when that announcement will be coming.

Sign Tyler Bozak to replace Sid for a bit?

There's never a boring day with this franchise. Hunter dives into the latest news as Sidney Crosby will miss all of training camp and likely the first week of the regular season as he underwent wrist surgery. Why did the team wait until now? Was there any good logic in doing so? Hunter then goes into how the tea will proceed from here and what the center depth will look like for camp and start the regular season. First-line Jeff Carter? Third-line center Evan Rodrigues? After that, he shares his thoughts on both PTO's as Boyle looks to have a great shot at making the team. Could he play his way into an every-night role? What's the ceiling for Bartkowski? Finally, the show ends with Hunter pleading for Ron Hextall to sign Tyler Bozak as extra center depth. He can still play & then some.

Mark Friedman is gonna get his shot

In the final episode of the week, Hunter first touches on the Penguins latest move as Louis Domingue comes into the organization on a 2-way deal. Is there a path to him playing on the roster this season? Is he likely to be the starter at WBS over Lindberg? How has he played throughout his career. Hunter then brings up Mark Friedman as he may have the inside edge on that 6th defensive spot going into training camp. It may not be what's best for the team, but he's always been Hextall's guy and that could weigh a lot on Sullivan. Who has the better numbers between Ruhwedel and Friedman? Should there be some games split between them? The show then ends with some thoughts on the Islanders signings and how that pertains to the Penguins, plus the NHL releasing their COVID protocols for next season.

How much would you pay for Tomas Hertl?

Is that some trade rumors as I hear? There's been some Tomas Hertl trade chatter throughout the day on Tuesday and Hunter touches on it with how this would be a slam dunk acquisition for the Penguins. As always, the trick is...what would the Penguins have to give up, and could they make it work? He puts together some monstrous trade proposals for Hertl as they'd be worth it with how the team is gunning for another championship to end the Sid & Geno era. Before that though, Hunter gets into the Penguins Fan Survey results that came out today and how his votes compared to some of the others. He then dissects the biggest eye-opener which was how a lot of fans would prefer to keep Matheson's contract over Pettersson. Why is that? Does Matheson get a pass for some things because he's only been here for a year? Or do fans not like Pettersson due to him not being "flashy?" Finally, Hunter ends the show with some Bet Online stuff as the Penguins points odd were released for this season. Should you bet the over or under? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

How much do you trust the front office?

We're that much closer to training camp! But first, Hunter touches on some Penguins-related items that came out in recent articles and it starts with their prospect system. Corey Pronman of The Athletic tweeted his article out on ranking the Pens prospects and of course, they're down at 31. Hunter explains that's the price you pay when you win 3 championships but then disagrees with some of the rankings. Is Hallander better suited for the NHL than Poulin? Who is more likely to make an immediate impact in the near future? Are both goalie prospects underrated here? After that, Hunter goes into Dom's front office voting list article and shares his thoughts on what some fans said about the new regime. Has this offseason left a bit more to be desired? Should there be a concern with where the team is going? Hunter then ponders how this offseason would've gone with JR still in charge and then ends the show with some offer sheet talk!

How big of a role should Evan Rodrigues have?

1 month from training camp! The long offseason is slowly getting smaller, but as usual, the content doesn't stop there. In this episode, Hunter first touches on Kris Letang and how he made Locked On NHL's top 50 player list. He brings up the stats from this past season and also from a lot of prior seasons to show just how good he's been each and every year with the Penguins. Hunter also argues why he was fully snubbed from the Norris in 2013 as he was actually better than PK Subban that season. After that, Hunter spends a segment on Evan Rodrigues and how he seems to be getting slept on by a lot of fans this season. What kind of bigger role could he have on the team? Is this the season he finally scores double-digit goals? What line makes the most sense? All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

One more crossover for this week...

It's the week of crossovers as Hunter brings on another face of the Locked On Network onto Locked On Penguins! Jay Forster of Locked On Blue Jackets comes onto the show for the first time to first touch on the Locked On NHL's Top 50 player list and how both franchises got shafted. We first start with Evgeni Malkin and the insanity of him not making it. Should one bad year be the difference? The focus then turns to Zach Werenski and how he was left off as a snub as well. After that, the hosts talk about the Pens-Jackets rivalry as a whole and where it stands today. With the Jackets not expected to be good again next year, will they still come in waves to see them play Pittsburgh? Where does CBJ rank on the list of Penguins rivals? Does Jay expect the Jackets to make some noise next season? What's his favorite Pens-CBJ memory? All that, plus much more on this special crossover episode of Locked On Penguins.

Some Philadelphia Flyers talk? You bet!

After almost 2 years of doing this podcast, Hunter has never done a crossover with the Flyers host...until now. That's right, Rachel Donner of Locked On Flyers joins the show to talk about the other team across the state. What were her thoughts on all of the moves this offseason? Is Chuck Fletcher right to bet on Ristolainen to turn his career around? Was last season the start of Carter Hart's demise or will he bounce back this season? What are realistic expectations for Philly? Rachel also asks Hunter about the Penguins, including: How have we all enjoyed the Ron Hextall experience? Has he done enough to make them a contender going into this season? What else could still be done, even during the season? All that, plus much more on this special episode of Locked On Penguins.

Some Philadelphia Flyers talk? You bet!

After almost 2 years of doing this podcast, Hunter has never done a crossover with the Flyers host...until now. That's right, Rachel Donner of Locked On Flyers joins the show to talk about the other team across the state. What were her thoughts on all of the moves this offseason? Is Chuck Fletcher right to bet on Ristolainen to turn his career around? Was last season the start of Carter Hart's demise or will he bounce back this season? What are realistic expectations for Philly? Rachel also asks Hunter about the Penguins, including: How have we all enjoyed the Ron Hextall experience? Has he done enough to make them a contender going into this season? What else could still be done, even during the season? All that, plus much more on this special episode of Locked On Penguins.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AGThere is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust. Betonline.ag!

What was your favorite Lundqvist moment?

Hunter starts off today's show with an ode to Henri Lundqvist as he's not only the best goaltender of the generation but a top 5 goaltender of all time. He discusses all the great moments between him and the Penguins and how the tables turned on that night in 2016 when the "Baby Stuff" happened. Hunter also goes into a sort of "What If?" scenario for the Penguins as that series in 2014 would qualify. How different would the franchise be if Hank didn't steal that game? After that, he goes into Danton Heinen a bit more and why he seems like someone who could break out this offseason. What is Hunter's prediction for him? Will he get time on Malkin's wing? Will he produce more than McGinn? Finally, we go around the league with some news on the Arizona Coyotes, EA NHL 22, Jake Guentzel's marriage, and much more. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

How can John Marino regain his form?

After a small hiatus, Hunter is back with a fresh episode of Locked On Penguins and as usual, there are no shortages of topics to discuss. Hunter starts with the first front-office hire and how it's a good idea to bring an agent into the fold who knows the salary cap. Does he take the place from Jason Botterill? Or is it a little bit of Sam Ventura's role, except with no data in? Hunter then also touches on the advertisement news and which company should have an ad on the Penguins jerseys. Is it Sheetz? Finally, Hunter does get to John Marino and how the Penguins can get him back to his old self. Does he need to play with Pettersson full-time? What type of deployment should he get? He also discusses Jeff Carter going into next season and why some fans should temper their expectations with him. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Mike Lange isn't just Penguins royalty, he's HOCKEY royalty...

Today's episode starts with a heartfelt tribute to Mike Lange after he announced his retirement earlier this week. Hunter goes over what made Mike truly special as it was almost as if you could see the game with your eyes closed while he was calling it. He also discusses how Mike was almost everyone's childhood in this fanbase, especially when it comes to so many fans growing up with him in the 90s, plus over a decade later with everyone growing up with Sid and Geno. Where does he rank in a Penguins Mt. Rushmore? How great was he away from the rink? Hunter also discusses those two points before moving to ZAR's new contract. Was it a fair price or a bit of a bargain? Is it likely he walks next season? Who should play next to him and Blueger? Finally, Hunter issues a dire warning to the Penguins fanbase as a Locked On NHL Top 50 players list is about to go out and yes, Geno will somehow not be on there.

Crossover special with Locked on Wild!

Today's episode of Locked On Penguins is a special crossover. Seth Toupal of Locked On Wild joins the show to touch on both teams as former Penguins assistant general manager Billy Guerin has been pretty dang busy this offseason. Hunter brings up the Parise and Suter buy-outs and if Seth agreed on both of those decisions, plus what he's thought has been the best move from the Wild thus far. Seth also touches on the Jack Eichel sweepstakes and if Minnesota should still be in on that, despite limited cap space. With all that said, there's still plenty of Penguins content on this show as Seth asks Hunter what his favorite move has been this offseason (sorry Brock). The two also bring up where they think each team is positioned in their respective divisions going into next season and if there are any more moves coming as well.

Brock McGinn joins the show for some good times!

After teasing it for about a week, it finally has happened: Hunter is joined by the newest Pittsburgh Penguin Brock McGinn on this special episode of Locked On Penguins. The two touch on a multitude of topics, including how Pittsburgh stood out to him the most in free agency and what else he's looking forward to doing there besides play. Hunter also brings up his time in Carolina and if there's any potential for some storm surge moments to come to Pittsburgh. Could Brock convince Sid and Geno about doing it? Also discussed: What retired player did Brock wish he could've played against that's not one of the Big 4? What’s something the average fan watching on tv or in person doesn’t realize about his role in-game? Does he have any superstitions?

Radim Zohorna has re-signed with the Penguins and Hunter shares his thoughts on that move and what it means not just for this season, but for the season after as well. Is he on track to 100% make the team next season? Could he inch his way onto this year's team, despite all the moves at forward? He also discusses Chad Ruhwedel going into next season and how he's the easy choice for the No. 6 spot. The fans need to just let Cody Ceci go. After that, a discussion about Bryan Rust's next deal takes place. What would Hunter realistically pay him? Should the Penguins walk if his ask is over $6M per? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Danton Heinen to replace Jared McCann?

It's a late-night one, but sometimes, that's what has to happen. In the first segment, Hunter breaks down the Danton Heinen signing as the Penguins went bargain shopping after getting Brock McGinn. Where does he see him slotting into the lineup? Could there be a fit with Jeff Carter? Is there a real shot he gets his scoring touch back? He also discusses what's next for the Penguins offseason. Is this likely it? Could a goalie trade still be coming at some point? Should they consider dumping Mike Matheson's salary? Hunter also touches on notes around the league and how the New York Rangers seem to be taking major steps back this offseason. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Brock McGinn come on down...

Happy Free Agent Frenzy day! The Penguins did end up making a couple of moves and Hunter is joined by Mad Chad from his show with Eddie to break it all down. They first start with the Brock McGinn contract as that one came out of nowhere. Is he seen as Brandon Tanev's replacement? Is the term a bit too long? Does he have more offensive potential? They then touch on Simon and Evan Rodrigues coming back and wonder if Rodrigues over Gaudreau was the right call. After that, they go into what work is still left to be done this offseason. Which goalie could they trade for? Do they still need another top 9 winger? Is Mark Friedman Ceci's replacement? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

A MAF reunion? I say YES

What's that? A Marc-Andre Fleury reunion, you say? That's right! Hunter starts the show by going full hypocrite mode and explains why this is the perfect opportunity for the Penguins to reunite with Marc-Andre Fleury. He also explains how a three-way trade could work to get the cap even lower for the Penguins, but even half would do. Would the dynamic with Jarry be weird? Can the Pens bet on him to be as good this season? He also discusses how he's the best bet of any of the available goaltenders right now. After that, Hunter previews free agency tomorrow and makes a prediction on how active the Penguins will be, plus if it makes sense to sign Zach Parise.

Welcome to a wild week...

Welcome to free agency and we have a whole lot to unpack in this episode. Hunter first starts off with some fresh Penguins news as Mike Sullivan has been named Team USA"s coach for the Winter Olympics in 2022. What type of team is he likely to build? Can they potentially steal the gold medal from Canada? He also discusses ZAR getting his qualifying offer and what that means going forward. What will his contract likely be? After that, Hunter goes into all of the goalie talk as that is the Penguins No. 1 priority this week. Are they fully interested in Kuemper? Does Mrazek make more sense than Ullmark? What about Braden Holtby? He also discusses Brandon Saad & how great of a fit he would be. What contract would Hunter give him? All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Welcome to a wild week...

Welcome to free agency and we have a whole lot to unpack in this episode. Hunter first starts off with some fresh Penguins news as Mike Sullivan has been named Team USA"s coach for the Winter Olympics in 2022. What type of team is he likely to build? Can they potentially steal the gold medal from Canada? He also discusses ZAR getting his qualifying offer and what that means going forward. What will his contract likely be? After that, Hunter goes into all of the goalie talk as that is the Penguins No. 1 priority this week. Are they fully interested in Kuemper? Does Mrazek make more sense than Ullmark? What about Braden Holtby? He also discusses Brandon Saad & how great of a fit he would be. What contract would Hunter give him? All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BetOnline AGThere is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust. Betonline.ag!

Whole lot of trades today...will Ron Hextall wake up or stay patient?

Silly season has arrived peeps! Before Hunter gets into that, he discusses the Penguins' schedule for next season and some key dates for their matchups against rival teams, Do they not see the Rangers till the second half? What are also his top 5 arenas for wanting to go see a game? When are the classic Western California trips and Western Canada trips? After that, he goes into all the ridiculous deals that were made on Friday and how two of the Penguins' biggest rivals got worse today. Surely the Penguins could get a good return for Pettersson, right? He also explains why everyone needs to never complain about Kris Letang's contract again after seeing the latest Seth Jones one. Finally, Hunter goes into what you should likely expect this weekend from Pittsburgh. Will a certain player be traded? Will they try to get into the 2nd round? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Why it's a GOOD thing Brandon Tanev was picked...

The Seattle Kraken have taken a player from the Pittsburgh Penguins and yes, it's a fan favorite. Hunter goes all into the Brandon Tanev pick from a lot of angles, but first explains why it's great for the team since it gives Pittsburgh a lot of cap space. It's also a player that can be replaced the easiest in free agency since he's on the 4th line. Who should they look to for replacing him? After that, Hunter gets to some listener ideas for using the cap space wisely. Does a Pettersson for Dadonov trade work? Does a trade for John Gibson look more likely now?

Jared McCann's gone...now what?

Hunter is joined by Josh Yohe on this special episode of Locked On Penguins and again, there's no shortage of topics to discuss. They first bring up the Jared McCann trade and why the optics behind it didn't make a lot of sense. Why couldn't they have left him exposed and just lost one player instead of two? Are the Penguins valuing the wrong things with protecting Blueger over him? They then switch to the goaltending discussion as none of this matters without good goaltending. Is it more likely to see them make a trade for one? Who could be their top target? They also discuss moving out more salary, if they could sign a forward in free agency, and a whole lot more!

Let's not galaxy brain the McCann situation...

With the Expansion Draft just days away, we finally have a potential look at what the Penguins are planning to do protection-wise. Or do we? Hunter explains why it would be a full galaxy brain situation to leave McCann unprotected but not Tanev. Why is McCann way more valuable than Tanev? He also explains how it doesn't matter which third defenseman is protected since Seattle likely won't take one of them (unless it's somehow Cody Ceci). After that, Hunter goes into YOUR protected lists that you sent into the Locked On Penguins Twitter account. Which one does Hunter agree with the most?

Is it right to expose Kasperi Kapanen?

We finally have some Pittsburgh Penguins news. They signed Teddy Blueger back today on a team-friendly two-year deal and that's what Hunter starts with on the show today! He analyzes the deal from many perspectives and speculates if this could be related to the expansion draft. Are the Penguins now thinking of protecting all four of their centers in case Geno might not be ready? Who then gets the last spot between McCann and Kapanen? He also wonders if how easily the team could replace Kapanen if he is selected by the Kraken. After that, he gets to some notes around the league, including the sad news about Shea Weber moving forward. He also brings up another interesting UFA option in Ryan Getzlaf. Would he chase a cup in Pittsburgh? Does the signing make sense after his struggle from this season? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Move some cap for Ryan Suter?

We're really into the roots of the offseason now! The Wild bought out Zach Parise and Ryan Suter today and Hunter touches on that in the first segment and how it could impact the Penguins. Should they pursue one (or both) of them? What would Ryan Suter bring to the lineup? He also talks about Chris Driedger and how much money he's looking for on his next deal. Does it make sense to pair him with Tristan Jarry next season? Would it be too much money added to their cap? He also discusses the possibility of signing Kyle Palmieri from the New York Islanders. Would he be looking for a more lucrative offer? Which version of Palmieri this year more accurately portrays him? All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Should The Penguins make a run at Tomas Tatar?

Lots have happened across the NHL the last few days and Hunter is here to break it all down! He first starts with the Duncan Keith trade and how the Edmonton Oilers are continuing to not know how to build around Connor McDavid. How long will it be till he asks out? What other weird moves could be coming? He also touches on the Pierre McGuire hire from the Ottawa Senators and how this is sure to go badly. Will he actually embrace analytics? Could he take over for Dorion, who has one year left on his contract? Finally, Hunter touches on a free agent target for the Penguins, another from the Montreal Canadiens.

How similar are the Lightning and Penguins back-to-backs?

The Lightning have made history! In the first segment, Hunter recaps the Stanley Cup Final and what lessons can be taken from it, especially when it comes to the Pittsburgh Penguins going into next season. Do you actually need elite goaltending? Is the modern NHL going towards all speed and skill for 4 lines? Hunter also discusses Nikita Kucherov's press conference and why there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. We've needed a hockey personality for a long time and we finally got it! After that, there's a special crossover with Adam Denker of Locked On Lightning as the two discuss Tampa's run and how it compares to the Penguins cup runs. What was similar between the two?

How hard will it be to replace ZAR?

No ocean for this one, sorry peeps. There's still some good content to get to in the latest episode of Locked On Penguins and it includes Zach Aston-Reese's season review! Before that though, Hunter dives into Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final and what went wrong for the Tampa Bay Lightning. How on earth was Montreal able to kill off that four-minute minor? Does the series get past tonight's game? Was it still a lousy decision to not dress JK or Tatar? After that, Hunter does get into ZAR's season and looks at how dominant he was defensively. Would he be the hardest of the three to replace from the fourth line? Is he the engine that makes that line go? Finally, the show ends with some interesting but fun mailbag questions!

Have we reached the end for Cody Ceci?

Happy First Day of July! We're still going strong this month with episodes every weekday and there are no shortages of topics to discuss today. Hunter brings up a Rob Rossi quote from the Penguins subreddit as it looks like Ron Hextall wants to bring in a new goalie. Which one makes the most sense? Is there a favorite that they should go after? Hunter weighs in with his top two before changing course to the defense. Hextall confirmed that they'd have to move money to sign Cody Ceci but does that make sense? Is it better to have Chad Ruhwedel at his spot? What about POJ?

After the crossover of a lifetime on Monday, it's just Hunter for Tuesday, which shouldn't be a bad thing. He starts the show by talking about ESPN's announcement for their hockey coverage this coming season. Are there any bad names on there? Who will be their No. 1 team throughout the season? Are the networks moving away from the shock jock analysts? He answers all of those before touching on Jared McCann, who was a hot topic of discussion on Penguins Twitter today. What should his next contract look like? Is there legit worry for him going into next season?

The crossover of the century!

We finally have the crossover that I'm sure many of you are waiting for. Zachary Smith and Tyler Weeks of AroundThe412 join Hunter in this very special episode of Locked On Penguins and they talk about everything regarding the team at this moment. They first start out with Marc-Andre Fleury and how those talks have ramped up the last few days in the fanbase. Does it make sense to bring MAF back? How would it even happen? They then get into a big talk about expansion as Tyler and Zach share their lists on the show, and yes they're different. They also touch on free agency and which goalie they'd go after to help Tristan Jarry, plus who do they think is picked in expansion? And is Tyler really expecting Montreal to win the Stanley Cup?

Brandon Saad: Come on home?

An old friend to come home to Pittsburgh? Yep, that's what we're discussing in this first segment for Locked On Penguins. Hunter discusses the possibility of bringing Brandon Saad back to Pittsburgh after he grew up in the city and if it makes sense. What would a contract likely look like? What's the highest the Penguins would go for him? After that, Hunter gets into Jason Zucker's season from hell and how his numbers lined up to the eye test. Should we expect more of the same next season? What needs to happen for him to get back to his level before this season? Finally, Hunter discusses that crazy Islanders-Lightning Game 6, and Dave Hakstol being hired by Seattle as their first head coach. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Is it Matthew Tkachuk szn?

It's surely a special episode today. After some Matthew Tkachuk rumors swirled last night, Hunter talks about how perfect of a fit it would be with the Penguins, especially after what Ron Hextall said during his end-of-season press conference. What would it cost to get him? Does it make sense to include Sam Poulin in a deal for him? Hunter also wonders about the contract, where Tkachuk has just one year left at $7M. After that, he gets into a potential ZAR replacement in Joel Armia and what he would bring to the lineup. Was this year a bit of a fluke or is it a sign of things to come? What kind of contract would he likely get? To wrap it up, Hunter recaps Bolts-Islanders Game 5 and wonders if this is the end for the Nassau Coliseum (finally). Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

NHL Officiating has reached peak levels of bad

We're approaching 300 episodes for the Locked On Penguins podcast and the fun definitely doesn't stop there. Hunter brings the heat to start today's episode with a long rant on NHL Officiating, especially after the gong show we saw last night in Vegas-Montreal. What can the league do moving forward to stop this? Do the officials need to be made available to the media after the game? Will this stop the growth of the sport in a way? Those are all questions Hunter tackles, plus he gives his take on whether it was the right call to go to Robin Lehner in Game 4. After that, he recaps Kasperi Kapanen's season and why some fans need to be wary of him going into next season. Where will the regression likely stem from? Finally, we get to more expansion talk as Hunter brings up who he thinks Penguins management will prioritize for the protected list and how this could open up some interesting cap-related questions this offseason.

More expansion draft talk, plus a sneaky potential bottom-six add for this offseason!

Even though there's not a lot of news surrounding the Penguins, the content doesn't stop. Hunter first touches on an article from The Athletic that came out this morning about an expansion mock draft and who the writers have from the Penguins leaving. Are two of them the best-case scenario for the Penguins? Who would Seattle also take if it came down to Blueger or ZAR? He then gets into a potential savvy bottom-six add...(he's from Montreal). After that, it's Bryan Rust's season review. Was he one of the more dominant players in the playoffs? Should we expect a trade with him this offseason? What makes the most sense going into this huge year for the core? Finally, Hunter gives a rant on the GM of the Year Award and why it's a total sham. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Jake Guentzel's season review, plus some Norris thoughts...

Did Mike Vellucci really almost get hired? Hunter explains Elliotte Friedman's report in 31 thoughts as the Blue Jackets interviewed him twice before going in-house for their coaching hire. Would it have been a big blow to Pittsburgh? Hunter also explains that as well, plus where that replacement hire would've came from if he left. He also gets into some talk about the Norris Trophy and how Victor Hedman shouldn't anywhere near the top three. Did none of the writers pay attention this season? Finally, it's Jake Guentzel's season review. How good was he in the playoffs? What are expectations for him next season? Will his playoff scoring come around again?

Carter or Blueger for that last protected spot?

The Expansion Draft is coming up quickly and there have been more updates as to who the Penguins could protect. Before that comes up though, Hunter gets into his thoughts on the Jack Adams Award and how it's a disgrace that Mike Sullivan wasn't nominated. What has the award actually become? Will Sullivan ever get the respect he deserves? After that, Hunter gets into the expansion draft talk and what he would do with that last spot between Blueger and Carter. Would Seattle even take Carter if he was available? Are the Pens gonna protect Mark Friedman as the third defenseman?

Should Sid have been nominated for the Hart? Does it even matter?

Sidney Crosby wasn't nominated for the Hart Trophy today but as the title says, does it even matter? Hunter gives his answer for what his ballot would've been, even though Sid had no chance of winning the award, thanks to Connor McDavid's insane season. Before that though, Hunter recaps Evgeni Malkin's season and how it looked to be more of a huge outlier than a sign of things to come. He goes into the numbers, plus some of Geno's best moments of the season before providing a prediction for next season. Also touched on: What makes this Islanders run actually go?

Starting the season reviews with the obvious...

The season reviews are here! Hunter starts you off right with a review of Sidney Crosby's season and how he continues to tear it up. He goes into the numbers from Natural Stat Trick and hockeyviz to show what he did this year, as well as the playoffs. What's the expectation for Sid next season? Will he be a point-per-game player again? Could he crack 40 goals? Hunter ponders on both, but not before he goes into the NHL Awards and his thoughts on the finalists so far. Did Victor Hedman really deserve to be a finalist for the Norris? Who should win the Selke? Is it Vasilevskiy for the Vezina over Flower?

Can we stop with the Evgeni Malkin discourse?

Happy first Monday episode of June! It's time for some hard truth's about...Evgeni Malkin. Hunter explains why he's tired of all this weird hate that goes his way, even though he's one of the four best players in the team's history. He also talks about how he's never going anywhere, especially with an NMC, and how long his next contract will be. After that, he talks about Frederik Anderson as a goalie option for next year. Is he the best of the free agent crop to tag team with Jarry? What does a contract for him look like? Finally, we go around the league and he gives thoughts on the four playoff series' still going and how they'll shake out. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Ron Hextall is saying all the right things!

Ron Hextall didn't pull a Jim Rutherford at his end-of-season press conference and Hunter is THRILLED about it. He goes into what Hextall said about this season and the series against the Islanders, plus what he's looking for in the offseason. How can the Penguins accomplish getting tougher and getting some size into the lineup? Who are some options in free agency? Hunter also explains why it's the right call from Hextall to bring back most of the team next season, while also improving around the edges. After that, he gets into some Brian Burke comments from the last few days before finishing the episode calling out the people defending Mark Scheifele for no reason.

It's long time listener, first time guest szn

Another day, another guest on an episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast, and today, that's Wesley Uhler from ESPN Pittsburgh. They go all into the Penguins' loss against the Islanders as Wes gives his opinion on what the team should do in goal for next season. SHould Brian Rust be dangled for a good package? Wes wonders about that as he's almost been a 30 goal scorer two years in a row. What would be a realistic return would he be? And why wouldn't you want to pay him his next contract? They also touch on Mike Sullivan and why it's a no-brainer for him to come back for at least another season. Finally, they talk about what Hextall has to do this offseason to improve the team around the edges as there will definitely be some changes made. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

What's going on with NHL officiating?

A new month, heck a new weekday, also means another episode of the Locked On Penguins. Hunter is joined by Jeff from Penguins Twitter (radimzahorna is his @) as they chat everything from Penguins offseason goals to NHL officiating. Does Jeff see PO Joseph on the team full time? Who does he see them protecting in the expansion draft? Does he still have faith in Tristan Jarry? After that, they get into the take about NHL officiating and how Jeff thinks it's ruining the sport. What does he want to see moving forward? Has it been benefiting lesser-skilled teams this season? Finally, they touch on the David & Sarah Ayers tweets and why they were wrong to go at Danny from The Pens Blog. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Locker clean out day came way too early

The last episode of this week deals with another upsetting thing...locker room cleanouts. Hunter touches on what the players said, namely Kris Letang, as he wants to retire with Crosby and Malkin as Penguins for life. Bryan Rust also gave an interesting answer on his future with the team as he's one year out from being a UFA. Could he be on the trade block this summer? Was Marcus Pettersson happy with his game? Hunter also touches on Elliotte Friedman's 31 thoughts podcast where he talks about the Pens...does he foresee big shakeups? Does he think they'll add a veteran goalie? Finally, the show ends with some Mike Sullivan talk as he should start to be on the hot seat for next season, but not fired yet. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Well, that happened...now what?

I am sad to report to you all that yes, the Pittsburgh Penguins season has come to an end. In this episode, Hunter goes in on Tristan Jarry as this was a flashback to Marc-Andre Fleury's meltdowns from 2010, 2012, and 2013. Is there a way for him to be back on this team next season, let alone start? He also discusses the one and only reason why Pittsburgh lost this series, in case it wasn't obvious. Also discussed: Should Mike Sullivan be on the hot seat? What tweaks does this team need? Who are some goaltending options for next season?

Tampa Bay Game 6 flashbacks for tonight?

Here we are again: The Pittsburgh Penguins face elimination against the New York Islanders. Pittsburgh will try to win their first elimination game in three years tonight, at their house of horrors: The Nassau Coliseum. In honor of this game, Hunter brings on Mad Chad from the 412 Sports Talk podcast to preview the game and to talk everything about this series. Is it really just down to goaltending for this series? Has this been Kris Letang's best play since the 2016 playoffs? If they bow out here or on Friday, should they go get a veteran goaltender in the offseason? The two also touch on what the Pens need to do tonight to extend this series back to Pittsburgh, and a whole lot more. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Some serious Jaroslav Halak vibes...

Hunter somehow recorded an episode after last night's debacle against the New York Islanders and yes...it wasn't pretty in the slightest. He starts by talking about Tristan Jarry and how he has cost them this series as it's unlikely that the Penguins come back from this deflated loss. He also goes into how luck has played a huge factor in this series and how it always does when it comes to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. If the Penguins do play like this again, could they send it back to Pittsburgh? Hunter also tells people to stop going after the core as they've been great in this series (especially Crosby and Letang). Other topics: Is this it for Tristan Jarry if Pittsburgh loses this series? Should there be any big changes next season? What needs to happen to beat Sorokin? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! BetOnline AG There is only 1 place that has you covered and 1 place we trust.

Looking ahead to Game 4 and a potential Islander goalie change...

In this special episode of Locked On Penguins, Hunter brings on a couple of special guests, Nick Horwat and Nick Brlansky of the Tip of The Iceburgh podcast. The three talk more in-depth about the age last night, including that wild third period. What were their thoughts on the Islanders starting up some scrums? Was that Kelly Sutherland's worst officiating job of his career? After that, they get into Brandon Tanev's goal and how he's been a man on a mission since his comeback. Is this Kris Letang's best play since the 2016 postseason? Could he be a Conn Smythe candidate if the Penguins go deep into the playoffs. They also preview Game 4 on Saturday as the Islanders are considering a goalie change. Is Sorokin going to give them some life? All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

No matter what the Islanders do, the Penguins just play...

It's a late-night episode but there's a whole lot to get to when it comes to the Pittsburgh Penguins. After all, they are not boring. Hunter starts off by talking about the great start the Penguins had as they dominated play for the first 15 minutes and got a goal from ZAR. The Islanders were definitely going to make a push (and they did) before Jeff Carter and Jason Zucker answered the bell. After that, Hunter talks about the Islanders' play in the third period and how they tried to goon it up because it was their last resort. The Penguins obviously responded and then some. Hunter brings up the second Carter goal, plus how Brandon Tanev has become a folk hero in the town. Also: How was Tristan Jarry's performance overall? Is this the best hockey Kris Letang has played since 2016? What play did Sid make to save the game? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Now that's more like it! It's a series now...

The Pittsburgh Penguins respond! The series now tied at one game apiece and Hunter is back to recap everything about Game 2. He first touches on the opening period and how Pittsburgh had the right "shoot first" mentality as Varlamov got his first start. Bryan Rust opened the scoring or "Big Game Bryan" as Hunter likes to call him, followed by Jeff Carter, who continues to make certain people look foolish. He also touches on the bounce-back from Tristan Jarry as he did what he's done all year after a bad outing. Also: Just how good have the Pens been against Barzal and Eberle? Do the Penguins have the best 4th line in hockey? What's the likeliest scenario to come from these next 2 games? All that, plus much more on today's episode. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

It's one game but let's get some saves!

The Pittsburgh Penguins dropped Game 1 against the New York Islanders but Hunter's here to tell you that nothing is lost...yet. Hunter goes over the positives to start the episode and there are a whole bunch of them, including the play of Sidney Crosby. He was ready to go right at the start of the game and didn't let up until the end. Will he continue to win his matchup against Pulock and Pelech? He also touches on the great play from Kris Letang and how Kapanen continues to be opportunistic. Of course, there was the loss and all of it falls on Tristan Jarry. What went wrong with the goals he gave up? Should we expect a bounce-back on Tuesday. Finally, Hunter welcomes Andy MacNeil from VSiNLive onto the show to talk NHL betting and what the lines are looking like for the game tomorrow, and a whole lot more.

Can the Penguins get a little bit of vengeance?

Part 2 of a two-part crossover with Locked On Islanders is here! In this episode, Hunter and Gill go all into the matchups. Who will Barry Trotz put out against the Sidney Crosby line? Gil also gets into the BBB line that the Islanders have and how it's been one of the more underrated lines in hockey this season. Who will Mike Sullivan put out there against them? What can the Penguins exploit in the Islanders matchup? Is there anything that concerns Gil in matching up with Pittsburgh? The two also then get to their predictions for the series and I'm sure Penguins fans will like Hunter's but hate Gil's. It's showtime, peeps! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

As promised, today's episode of Locked On Penguins is a special one as Jesse Marshall of The Athletic comes onto the show to preview Penguins vs Islanders.

They also talk about other matchups, such as what line Jesse sees going up against Barzal and vice versa with Trotz against the Crosby line.

Playoffs? We talkin about playoffs?

Today's a bit of a longer episode but at long last, Nick Zararis joins the show again to preview the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs as half of the matchups have been set. The two start with the Central and the Battle of Florida before heading over to the Carolina series. Does Florida have a chance to upset the champs, even without Ekblad? Who else, other than Juuse Saros, could will Nashville to a historic upset. They then go to the East Division and talk about how Boston-Washington will be the best series of the first round overall, before briefly touching on Penguins-Islanders. After that, they do the West division and if we don't get Colorado-Vegas in the second round, there may not be a God. Finally, they wrap up the episode with the North as everyone's hoping to see Matthews against McDavid in the second round and preview that division. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Who do you want to play in the opening round?

Are you playoff ready? The Pittsburgh Penguins certainly are after they locked up their first division title in seven years. Hunter recaps that achievement and how the Penguins proved a lot of doubters wrong by winning this division after so many people picked them to miss the playoffs. He also makes his case for why Mike Sullivan should win the Jack Adams Trophy as this was his finest coaching job since 2016. He also recaps the Penguins last win against the Sabres and how that's the kind of defensive performance they'll need if they want to go deep in the playoffs. Also: What is the preferred matchup between Boston and New York? Does Sidney Crosby have an actual chance at the Hart? What did Hunter get right and wrong during the season?

One win away from home ice...

Is everyone ready to stop harping on Jeff Carter? He had his first four-goal game of his career with the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night as they inched closer to getting at least one round of home ice. Hunter recaps the game and first touches on Carter, who's been the best Penguins third line center since Nick Bonino. Does he do everything that he used to? Or Jordan Staal? He also discusses Tristan Jarry's performance and how he'll likely shake this off going into the playoffs. Also: How dominant were the underlying numbers for this performance? He also assesses the play of Jared McCann and looks at how the Penguins can clinch the division with one game left. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

A bit of payback, plus thoughts on the extra stuff!

There's never a boring day with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Hunter recaps their bounce-back win against the Flyers as they got some payback. He starts with the play of Sidney Crosby and why he needs to stop criticizing him, even if it's only a little bit. He terrorized the FLyers again last night and led the way with the bounce-back. He also touches on Geno's game and why even though he was a bit hesitant, he settled in nicely and banked a couple more points. The big discussion comes after this as people have started to compare the Crosby/Konency incident to the Wilson situation. Hunter tells the listeners why this isn't even close to the case, while also advocating that both Sid and TK deserve to be fined for what happened. Finally, what's the potential reason as to why Mark Friedman is hated so much by the Flyers? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

WE HAVE THE MEATS!!

With the division title looming, the Pittsburgh Penguins did the one thing they couldn't do on Monday night and that's lose to a bad team in the Philadelphia Flyers. The Penguins didn't have it from the opening puck drop as Hunter recaps what went wrong last night. He starts with the defensive play as they were giving up way too many chances through the first 2 periods, plus how they were way too flat. He also talks about Sidney Crosby and what his theory is behind Sid'd mediocre play even though he scored a goal last night. Jason Zucker also got on the score sheet but is it the right call to have him play with Malkin and Kapanen? Should POJ be in for Mark Friedman moving forward? Finally, Hunter ends the show with a long Tom Wilson rant and begs the NHL to actually do something about his antics moving forward. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Kasperi Kapanen was on bath salts on Thursday

The Pittsburgh Penguins are back on the winning side and what a win it was. Hunter breaks down the dramatic win against the Washington Capitals on Thursday as he starts by touching on Kasperi Kapanen and the game he had. What famous goal from a former Penguin player did his third-period goal remind Hunter of? He also talks about Freddy Gaudreau and how he's the obvious choice to come into the lineup if Evan Rodrigues is hurt when Malkin and Tanev return. Also in this episode: Who was responsible for Tom Wilson's tying goal? Who was the real hero of the OT goal? And yes, Bryan Rust needs to be more selfish.

Onto the next one!

It wasn't the Pittsburgh Penguins' night for a change and Hunter dives into their latest setback to tell you why. He goes into the top players struggling as they got caved in all night long and couldn't generate anything offensively. He also gets into why this was exactly the reason he wants nothing to do with the Bruins in the first round of the playoffs as Rask was also outstanding. Besides that, Hunter touches on Jeff Carter and how he continues his strong play with another goal tonight. Finally, will Geno be back on Thursday? And how dominant was Cody Ceci again?

They're a Stanley Cup Contender now...

There's a whole lot to get to for this episode as the Pittsburgh Penguins have been on quite a roll these last ten games and it continued this weekend. The Penguins got both wins against the Devils and Bruins, and Hunter explains why the win on Sunday showed that the Penguins are a true Stanley Cup contender this year. He talks about the way they defended the front of the net, plus how they only allowed 2 high-danger chances for the entire game. After that, he gets into the power-play talk and if Malkin should be on his own unit when he comes back. Also, are the Bruins still the worst matchup for Pittsburgh? Is it smart for Mike Sullivan to put Crosby out against Bergeron? What's the latest on the NHL's new TV deal? All that, plus much more on this new episode of Locked On Penguins.

That response should send a message to the rest of the league...

The Pittsburgh Penguins had a response and then some on Thursday night against the New Jersey Devils as they blew them out and defended hard in the third period. Hunter recaps the game in this episode and touches on a multitude of topics, including Sidney Crosby and the Hart discussion. Should he be the favorite for the award? Where does he have him finishing for it? He also touches on Teddy Blueger and why he needs to be protected at all costs in summer, and get a healthy raise. Also, what does a Cody Ceci extension look like with how his play has been? Finally, Hunter talks about Tristan Jarry and how his coach was fully in his corner, which shows that he'll be the playoff starter.

The real truth about last night's craziness...

The Pittsburgh Penguins are never boring, as so many have said. Hunter is back to recap the ridiculous 7-6 victory from the Penguins on Tuesday night and starts with the positives. One of them is that Evan Rodrigues continues to show that he should be a lock to play in the playoffs as his playmaking ability has been on full display. He also touches on Mike Matheson and how these last couple of weeks have been not total team chaos as we've seen from him for most of this season. After that, he goes into the real truth about what happened last night and how Tristan Jarry needs a bit of the reset. What should the goaltending rotation be for the next few games? Was Kris Letang as bad as many people said he was? All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Losing one game against the Sabres? SEASON'S OVER!!

After not having an episode on Friday, Hunter is back on Monday to recap both of the Pittsburgh Penguins games this weekend as they had a split against the Buffalo Sabres. It was their first loss against the Sabres this season (they're now 5-1 against them) and on cue, the fanbase freaked out. Hunter explains why this team is a playoff lock while also talking about what needs to be cleaned up. What are the problems plaguing the PK still? Is Tristan Jarry being too aggressive playing the puck? He also talks about Jason Zucker's performance and teases an upcoming segment about him as he's been a hot topic within the fanbase. All that, plus talk on the power-play, Jared McCann, and much more on this latest episode of Locked On Penguins.

9/10 times they win this one...

The Pittsburgh Penguins may have lost but trust me, it's not doom and gloom folks. Hunter recaps the game in the newest episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast and talks about Jeff Carter's debut, and why he hopes a lot of people are starting to eat some crow on the deal. He also touches on Sid's outstanding goal after he got the stick from the bench and why it was a peak Penguins game with how a struggling goaltender stood on his head to win the game. Also touched on: Kris Letang's excellence, Brian Dumoulin's continued good play, Jarry's strong game, despite getting owned in the shootout, and so much more! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Thoughts on Carter's new line, plus Flyers game preview!

A lot has transpired since the last episode as we finally get to see where the Pittsburgh Penguins have Jeff Carter in practice. Is him at center the most sense going forward? Hunter also tells some fans to calm down since Zucker was practicing on his off-wing and that it's only going to be a temporary thing until some injured players come back. He then previews Thursday night's game against the Flyers and tells the listeners how it all went wrong for them (while trying not to laugh, of course). After that, he touches on how the Penguins almost got Travis Zajac and why that made sense, while also talking about the Canucks situation and why they shouldn't finish their season.

Who's ready for some Jeff Carter?

It's a late episode but an episode nonetheless as the trade deadline has passed. To start, Hunter has Locked On Kings host Sarah Avampato on the podcast to talk about the Jeff Carter deal and what his pros and cons are. What's the best position for him? Can he still skate and contribute? How is she coping with the loss of a two-time Cup Champ? Hunter also goes into some of the data surrounding Carter before transitioning to thoughts on the rest of the deadline, including that awful Taylor Hall deal and why GM's continue to be so confusing. He also touches on the Anthony Mantha deal before recapping Pittsburgh's win against the Devils on Sunday. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Another test passed!

It's a small test, but a test nonetheless as the Pittsburgh Penguins took down the New Jersey Devils on Friday night 6-4. There probably could've been more goals but hey, 10 goals in one game is definitely something to celebrate. In this episode, Hunter recaps the game and begs Mike Sullivan to keep Jared McCann on the top PP unit even when Evgeni Malkin comes back. Who comes off in that scenario? What would PP2 look like if it happened? Hunter answers that, plus talks about the improved play of Casey DeSmith and how there's going to be an interesting decision come playoff time between the 2 goalies. Who should start? Finally, he talks about the impending trade deadline and if the Pens will indeed make a move. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Back on the right track with another game looming!

The Pittsburgh Penguins snapped their two-game losing streak on Thursday night as they defeated the New York Rangers 5-2 to get two crucial points in the standings. Hunter recaps the game as Radim Zohorna continues his strong play with an outstanding move on his second goal. Has he played his way into a permanent role? Or is he still behind Freddy Gaudreau, who continues to look great as well? He also touches on Evan Rodrigues and why he's a perfect fit for a bottom six role after struggling out of the gate. Finally, he previews the game against New Jersey on Friday while also talking about some uncharacteristic play from Sidney Crosby lately. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Expect a bounce-back from the Penguins tomorrow? Nick Zararis discusses

It's been almost 24 hours since the Pittsburgh Penguins got embarrassed by the New York Rangers but the content doesn't stop there. Hunter is joined again by Nick Zararis to break down the game a bit more and what his thoughts were after watching it all. He brings up the point that teams tend to go away from their game after giving up the first goal just a minute into a game as after that, a snowball effect occurred. They then get into Adam Fox for the Norris as Nick tries to convince the listeners why he should win the award over Makar and McAvoy. Finally, Nick gives his thoughts on whether the Penguins get come out of the East Division and what they should add at the deadline. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

No reason for deep concern...yet

The Pittsburgh Penguins may have just suffered one of their worst losses of the season but the sky isn't falling. Hunter explains why a lot of the loss tonight is mainly on some bad luck and how the goaltending wasn't bailing them out for just the second game in the last month to month and a half. He gets into the underlying numbers and how one-sided the game was, despite the score and also focuses on some positives, which included the great play of Jared McCann and Jake Guentzel. After that, Hunter destroys the Penguins penalty-killing unit and how bad it's been before getting to a couple listener takeaways to end the show! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

A Philadelphia Flyers trade target emerges

After a couple of days off, Hunter is back with another episode on the Locked On Penguins podcast and there's quite a bit to get to. He starts off by talking about the Penguins first win in Boston in 7 years from Thursday's game. He touches on the play of Casey DeSmith, and ponders the question if he should be the starter in the playoffs when they come around in 5 weeks. Hunter also touches on Zach Aston-Reese notching his 8th goal of the season to continue his offensive prowess, while Mike Matheson gave everyone the true Matheson experience. After that game, he recaps Saturday's setback while sending a message to everyone who thinks that Crosby "embellished" at the end of the game. Plus: Does Scott Laughton make a lot of sense to Pittsburgh? All that, plus talk on McCann and Ceci, in this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Can I interest anyone in Dustin Brown?

It's a late-night one but that's par for the course for the Locked On Pittsburgh Penguins podcast. Hunter talks about a multitude of topics in this latest episode, including Brian Burke's comments to Mike DeFabo earlier today. Is Ron Hextall going to go through with those plans? Do the Penguins actually need to get bigger and more physical? Hunter also lays out another trade target that can actually play and contribute that's a big body if the Pens want to go after him. He then touches on a preview against the Bruins before also starting the #SidForSelke campaign. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Out-Islandering the Islanders sure is fun

The Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Islanders at their own game on Monday night and it was sure a sight to see. Hunter goes into the defensive clinic that the Penguins put up in the third period and wonders if this can happen each game in the playoffs if these two teams meet again. He also gets into John Marino's sensational performance and why it was premature to write off his long-term struggles just a few weeks into the season. Jared McCann also stayed hot, are the underlying numbers backing up his campaign thus far? Hunter also talks about the inconsistent officiating and why "reffing to the score" needs to vanish from the league. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Getting closer to "contender" category

What a win it was for the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night. They get to 5-2 on the year against the New York Islanders and Hunter is back to break it all down for everyone. He starts with the play of Freddy Gaudreau, who's been a sensation ever since he joined the lineup. What's impressing Hunter the most about his game? Does he deserve a spot as the 12th forward? He also goes in de[th about Bryan Rust and the season he's having, plus makes a push for the team to extend him NOW. After that, there's praise for Sidney Crosby, and especially Kris Letang as he continues to fire on all cylinders. Finally, can this team beat the Islanders in a playoff series now?

Let's have a talk on "deterrence"

Although the Pittsburgh Penguins were not in action on Friday, the content doesn't stop there. Hunter starts off this episode by talking about the "need" for toughness and why the Penguins don't need to go down that road again, especially the last time they did this with Ryan Reaves. Does it really deter anything when players go after Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, or Kris Letang? He then gets into more trade talk now that Eric Staal has been dealt to the Canadians and brings up two players who may not cost a lot going into this trade deadline. Hint: Both are in Nashville. Finally, Hunter brings up the poll he released on the Twitter page and says who he'd rather face if the playoffs started right now. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Mark Donk at it again!!

As the title says, the Pittsburgh Penguins got a contribution from another "Mark Donk" on Thursday evening. That's right, Radim Zohorna scored the opening goal for the Penguins on his first shot in the first period of his first NHL game. Is that the first of many like a certain someone who did this in 2017? It had to be asked. Hunter then breaks down the Penguins 4-0 win in full as Sidney Crosby notched his 1300th overall point. How many would he likely have if not for the concussions? He also touches on the play of Casey DeSmith as he continues to excel. What about his game has changed drastically in the last 2 years? After that, the listener takeaways come back for a segment before Hunter previews the road ahead for Pittsburgh. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Back on track...at a cost

The Pittsburgh Penguins got back on track on Wednesday night with a 5-2 win against the Buffalo Sabres. Hunter recaps the game as Pittsburgh also got to 13-2-1 on home ice this season and starts with some Frederick Gaudreau love. Should he be a regular in the lineup once this team gets healthy? He also touches on Crosby's goal and which goal throughout his career that it reminded him of. After that, Hunter goes into a rant about the league's officiating and why it shouldn't stop there with Tim Peel before finishing with thoughts on Brian Burke's comments to Josh Yohe earlier in the day.

Is there cause for concern with these last 3 games?

The Pittsburgh Penguins dropped two of three to New Jersey over the last few days and of course, the fanbase is a bit worried. Is Hunter concerned with the team's level of play dropping a bit? Or do they need to just keep treading water until the team gets healthier? He has his answer during this episode, plus praises Sidney Crosby for these last three games as he was the team's best player. He also gets into the Penguins goaltending and some numbers that show elite the tandem of DeSmith and Jarry have been as of late. Finally, he touches on the play of Kris Letang as he continues to excel and as always, some Brian Dumoulin praise. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

What's the latest on Malkin & more with Josh Yohe!

Just before the Pittsburgh Penguins take on the New Jersey Devils, Hunter brings on Josh Yohe from The Athletic to talk about everything that's going around the team as of late. He starts with the Malkin injury and Josh explains what he's been hearing about the injury as the team just placed him on IR. After that, they talk trades as the deadline looms. Is the team interested in Eric Staal? Could Anthony Mantha from the Red Wings make a lot of sense? They also touch on the outstanding play of Brian Dumoulin, and where Jared McCann slots in once he returns this weekend in New Jersey. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Can we figure out what a clean hit is please?

The Pittsburgh Penguins winning streak has come to an end but there's no reason to be super upset about it. Hunter recaps the Penguins latest 2-1 setback to the Boston Bruins as they were playing with 10 forwards for most of the evening. He talks about how the Penguins had the better high-danger chances and the better scoring-chances at all situations, despite losing the game. He also goes into Geno's injury and how you'll probably never see the likes of Sam Lafferty on the ice for a 6-on-5 in the final minute ever again. Of course, the elephant in the room is also mentioned as Hunter has a strong message for NHL officiating and how inconsistent it is. Finally, the episode ends with some listener trade proposals as the trade deadline is under a month away! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Going streaking one game at a time!

In this late-night episode of Locked On Penguins, Hunter dissects the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-1 win over the Boston Bruins to get their sixth straight win on the season. He starts off by talking about Tristan Jarry and the continued high level of play we're seeing from him. Is this the best we've seen him play for his career? How much longer can he sustain this? Could he make a run for the Vezina? He also looks at the improved special teams play, as both units were crucial in the Penguins win, before going to some Geno talk. After that, he looks at what Hextall & Burke need to do to make sure that this team can make a fair run for it with how they're playing right now. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Hockey's back on ESPN!

ESPN has officially announced that they have purchased half of the NHL's TV rights deal for the next 7 years and Hunter breaks all of that down in the first segment of today's episode. What does this mean for the league moving forward? How many games will they get per season? Who should be the number 1 P-B-P person and color commentator? He also previews the Penguins game against the Sabres on Thursday as Pittsburgh will finally get their shot to beat up on them (as the rest of the division has). Finally, he looks at Eric Staal as a potential trade candidate while also going over more individual thoughts on Tuesday's game. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Holding on for dear life as Nick Zararis joins the show again!

The Pittsburgh Penguins win again! They got their fourth win in five games on Tuesday night against the New York Rangers and have now jumped to 3rd in the East Division standings. Hunter brings Nick Zararis back onto the show to discuss everything about this game, including that third period. Tristan Jarry stood on his head and Hunter breaks down just how good he's been in his last 11 starts. They then get into some Rangers talk as Kakko and Lafreniere haven't been world-beaters yet. Is Nick worried about that? They also touch on the continued great play of Kasperi Kapanen and Evgeni Malkin before going into the ESPN talk. In what ways will they have to get this TV deal right? Who should they hire to do the play-by-play and color commentary? All that, plus much more on this latest episode! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

It's safe to say Evgeni Malkin is BACK

After the Pittsburgh Penguins lost in embarrassing fashion, they responded with perhaps their 2 best and biggest wins of the season. They got 4 points on the weekend which vaulted them back into a playoff spot and Hunter is here to talk all about it. He first touches on the Flyers game and how that was as close to a must-win as you can get. He touches on Geno, and how he's fully back, plus some big-time Jared McCann praise. He also talks about how it may be time for Mike Matheson to take a seat, plus how great Kapanen has been on Malkin's wing this season. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

We have now found the worst loss of the season

After their best performance of the season, the Penguins go ahead and do...that. Yes, that means it's their worst performance, bar none. Hunter goes into all of it and even calls back the old Michel Therrien rant which is 100% valid for this team. What needs to happen to the Matheson-Marino pairing? Should Matheson just play forward now anyway? He also gets into more of the defensive zone coverage as no one on the roster has a clue on how to defend the net-front. He then touches on more special teams struggles and even talks about Mike Sullivan as it may look like he's losing the team a bit. When is he going to off on the team and stop saying the same things?

Best performance of the season with Sid out especially?

2 massive points by the Penguins last night and Hunter is here to tell all of you why it was their finest performance of the season. Just how great were they in their own defensive zone at 5V5? Even the penalty kill got to go five-for-five in this game and set the tone right out of the gate. He also talks about Tristan Jarry's continued excellence and how he's turned his game completely around. Was this Evgeni Malkin's best game yet too? What about Kasperi Kapanen, and what's his ideal place in this lineup? He also then provides injury updates, and touches on GMJR's weird quote on a podcast before doing the listener takeaways!

Geoff from thepensblog returns!

After losing the original episode on Friday, Hunter and Geoff re-recorded for today and there's no shortage of topics to touch on. They first touch on the big news of the day, as Sidney Crosby will be out for Tuesday's game against the Flyers due to being on the COVID-19 list. Are we going to see the Guentzel-Malkin-Rust line reunited? Who plays with McCann as he steps into the 2C role? Is this the biggest week of the season to date? After that, Hunter asks Geoff about the special teams and what he's noticing about both units as they continue to struggle. What does the PK need to do better? What do the numbers say about the PP in the last nine games? Finally, Hunter gets into some trade talk as the Penguins definitely have some needs that need addressed.

One step forward, two steps back again

A new month(and day) will always mean another episode of Locked On Penguins. The Penguins had one giant win against the Islanders on Saturday before playing their worst game of the season on Sunday. It was very much #onbrand for them this year as it's been the story of the season. In this episode, Hunter touches on the play of Kris Letang and how he's playing his finest hockey of the season, plus how Jared McCann makes a huge difference while he's in this lineup. He also touches on both the special team units and what he would do to fix them. Is Brian Dumoulin the key to get that unit back? Who should QB the PP?

Hockey truly is the dumbest sport sometimes

The Pittsburgh Penguins lost in one of the worst ways tonight as Kris Letang broke his stick on the PK and Hunter is back to tell everyone not to get freaked out about it. Sometimes, that's just hockey. He touches on the great games from Brandon Tanev, Jake Guentzel, and Tristan Jarry as this is now Jarry's 6th straight great start. He also touches on the struggles of the 4th line and why a trade may need to be made as soon as tomorrow to get some help down there, despite Jared McCann on his way back. Should Drew O'Conner be sent down to WBS? What about Mark Jankowski? Finally, we have the always fun listener takeaways segment as they get to share their thoughts on the game!

Ron Hextall is already tormenting the Flyers!

Just because it's not a game day doesn't mean there can't be a lot of Penguins news! Ron Hextall made his first move as Penguins GM today and it came courtesy of the Flyers! Hextall claimed defenseman Mark Friedman off waivers from them and Hunter goes into what that means moving forward with the Penguins defense. Is Juuso Riikola on his way out? Is it the right move to have PO Joseph not play for a bit? Hunter then has a mailbag segment for the first time in a couple of months and touches on a number of topics, including what Hextall's first trade should be and what pens skater would be the best goalie. Finally, in the last segment, Hunter makes his case for why the Penguins WILL still finish 2nd in the East division at the end of the season. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

He also touches on Kapanen and what a response game he had after being benched against the Islanders during parts of the last game. Hunter also gets into the play of the power play, as it continues to improve, as well as Tristan Jarry's stellar start again.

If Tristan Jarry is back, this changes EVERYTHING

There's a whole lot to cover when it comes to the Pittsburgh Penguins these days, isn't there? Hunter starts the show off by talking about Sidney Crosby's 1,000th game and how much he's meant to him and so many fans in this fanbase thus far, and how he's exceeded all expectations. He also gets into his favorite moment from Sid so far (it's a decade ago), before getting to the game against the Islanders. In the recap, Hunter offers a ton of praise for Kris Letang, who had his best game of the season. If that continues, it would change the outlook of this team tremendously. He also touches on Tristan Jarry's performance and how he's getting back to last season's form. What is he doing differently? Finally, the third segment has the always outstanding listener takeaways!

A game with no complaints is allowed, right?

The Penguins bounced back in a huge way on Thursday night with a 4-1 win over the Islanders and for once...Hunter has nothing to complain about. The game was just that good from the Penguins as it was the first time all season that they didn't trail in one. Mike Matheson played his best game of his career and Hunter goes in-depth about what made it so good, including his "shot to himself" which led to Teddy Blueger's goal. He also touches on Cody Ceci's continued excellence, Jarry's strong play again, and then has the listener takeaways segment at the end as always! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Penguins were lifeless in a game again...just as it looked like they were going to turn a corner.

He also touches on the improved play of Tristan Jarry and how he shouldn't be credited as the main reason they lost tonight.

Is this the start of a turnaround?

The Penguins have not only won two in a row...but they got a power-play goal and a multi-goal lead in the same game! Pittsburgh won their third straight game over Washington and got to 7-5-1 on the season. Hunter recaps the game, starting with the Tanev line and how it's much better than a "competent fourth line." He also dissects how the power-play was able to break through and talks up Bryan Rust as he's been on a heater. Hunter also talks about the play of Mike Matheson and Cody Ceci as they're playing their best hockey right now, especially Ceci. After that, he gets into Jarry's play and how he slammed the door in the third period. Finally, the third segment brings back listener takeaways from the win! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Slam dunk GM hire...but what about Brian Burke?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are never boring, that much we know. Today, they announced two massive hires for the organization as Ron Hextall has been named general manager and Brian Burke is the President of Hockey Ops. Hunter dissects both moves and starts with Hextall as that's a slam dunk. What kind of general manager will likely be with the Penguins? Does he have it in him to be more aggressive? Hunter then gets into the Burke hire and if he's going to be involved with the day-to-day operations or mainly just be an advisor. If it's the advisor, the move will likely be a lot better since Hextall will have free reign to do what he wants. Finally, Hunter gets to the listener's takeaways for both of these moves.

The Penguins dropped another heartbreaker, and again, were the better team in their second straight loss. Hunter gets into all of it for this episode and talks about Tristan Jarry's failed attempt to make a timely save the most. It's only 11 games, but this team just hasn't gotten one big save when they need it most, especially as they're closing in on at least a point. He also touches on Cody Ceci's continued strong play, plus breaks down Matheson and Letang as they had horrific showings.

An update on the GM search situation!

After an unexpected day off, Hunter is back with more Penguins content and this time, it's to update the GM search, as well as some practice updates. Hunter goes through some of the candidates who have already interviewed for the job and who are expected to interview. He discusses Kevin Weekes, as this may just be an interview where he can dip his toes into it. Is there an opportunity for him to blow the team away though? Hunter then gets into who his top 3 choices would be, and yes it includes Ron Hextall, who famously chased Robbie Brown around the ice after a goal. He also gets into the John Ferguson Jr. interview before closing with thoughts on Gillis and Futa.

The power play blows it...again

The Penguins split their latest two games against the New York Rangers, despite deserving to win both of them. Sidney Crosby got the game-winner on Saturday night while Jason Zucker was the lone scorer in Monday night's 3-1 loss. Hunter talks about both games in this episode, and talks about both the positives and negatives? Should people start looking at the Kapanen trade a bit differently? Should Casey DeSmith get more starts? He then gets into the power-play and all the ugly surrounding it. Should Geno be taken off the top unit? He also explains just how little they're shooting on the unit and why if this continues, this may cost them a playoff spot. Finally, Hunter gets to the listener takeaways for the last segment.

Rob Rossi joins to talk ALL about the GM situation!

The Athletic's Rob Rossi comes back on the Locked On Penguins podcast for one of the longest episodes yet. Hunter asks Rob all about the GM situation and what really went into Jim Rutherford resigning. How many times did he actually tell the organization that he was leaving? Was he trying to make a trade right before he left? They also get into the shortlist and how high of a chance each of the five have of getting a job. Would it really be that weird seeing Ron Hextall as the GM? Is Colorado going to let Chris MacFarland interview for the position? Does he expect one of Chiarelli, Pierre, or Tallon to GM? They also get into some other options, such as Mike Gillis, whose application was leaked on Twitter a few nights ago. All that, plus much more on this special Saturday episode of Locked On Penguins.

Truly nothing to write home about this one...

The Penguins played their worst game of the season in Boston on Thursday night. With that, Hunter is still back with another episode to talk about the game and what went wrong.

He also gets into two big positives of the night and why P-O Joseph needs to stay in the lineup full-time even when the other defenders get healthy.

Evgeni Malkin: The walking meme?

The Penguins winning streak is gone but there were still positives to take out of this game (despite a meme happening in overtime). Pittsburgh salvaged a point even when things looked dire and even had multiple chances to win in that period. Hunter breaks it all down, including how Jason Zucker and Kasperi Kapanen had their best games of the season. Tristan Jarry also looks locked in as he's had 3 great games in a row and is in no rush to give the net back. Hunter also touches on Brad Marchand's "tripping" call and why it should've been 4-on-4 before getting to Evgeni Malkin going full Chris Kunitz on a 2-on-0.

Hunter breaks down which of his issues have gotten worse as he continues to look lost. Tristan Jarry also bounced back again nicely, plus Hunter gets to the listener takeaways from the game.

Crossover special with Locked On Rangers...can the Penguins keep it going?

With two massive games against the Rangers coming up, Hunter joins Jon Chik of Locked On Rangers for a special crossover to preview these games. They both touch on how their respected teams are doing, as Artemi Panarin continues to be lights out, as does Pavel Buchnevich. Hunter then gets into the obligatory Jack Johnson question and asks Jon just how bad he's been in only four games. Should the Penguins put a tribute video up for him to show his worst plays of the last two years? They also make predictions for these two games, as Hunter thinks this could be the moment when both Bryan Rust and Jason Zucker break out of their funks.

The cat is finally out of the bag!

The Penguins have finally notched their first win of the season and it couldn't have come at a better time. Pittsburgh needed it in the worst way as they got to 1-2 on the season and Hunter is here to break it all down for you. He starts with the goal scorers from the game as three Penguins got their first goal of the season, and none was better than Marcus Pettersson's. Hunter also goes into the defensive clinic the Penguins put on and explains why Chad Ruhwedel shouldn't come out of the lineup again. There were also some negatives with the game: What's wrong with Geno? And what needs to be done to fix this struggling power play? Finally, Hunter gets into the goalie conversation and why it was the easy call to start DeSmith and why he needs to start moving forward if that's how he'll play.

It's Casey DeSmith time...at least for Sunday

The Penguins have dropped to 0-2 on the season but Hunter is still here to go over everything that happened with this game. The Penguins tried to roar back after going down 3-0 but it just wasn't enough with Carter Hart slamming the door shut. Some of the big talking points in this episode include: Evgeni Malkin as he's just on a different planet. When should some fans start to worry about him? Hunter also sets the record straight with what led to the Flyers 4th goal as it was Tanev's terrible pass, not Letang jumping into the rush that caused it. Also, is it time to sit Jarry for a bit? And finally, can this Penguins third line be one of the best third lines in hockey? All that, plus much more in this episode.

Who is the 5th best Penguin player in franchise history?

In the 200th episode of this podcast (somehow), Hunter welcomes back Doug Glattke to talk a bunch about the team, including his thoughts on the realignment and how he thinks the Penguins would do in that new division. Where does he have them finishing? Should the NHL also just scrap the January 13th idea and do something Super Bowl weekend? It would give the league more time to figure some stuff out and not have to rush everything out. After that, the two touch on Brandon Tanev's season in review and they differ on him as a player a bit. What does Tanev still need to work on? How can he fully justify that contract?

The two then go into the new realigned divisions and just how big of a blood bath the East one is going to be. Outside of Boston, who's the next best team? Does he have the Rangers getting in? Where does Hunter have the Penguins finishing? After that, they get into the other divisions and make some more predictions. Should the Leafs run away with Canada's division? Who wins the Pacific?

Should the Penguins play some games outdoors?

We are starting to get some NHL season updates as the league and players association have started to talk again. What does this mean for the season? And how many games are they discussing? Hunter touches on those, plus how many back-to-backs could be on the horizon for some teams, including the Penguins. Hunter also touches on why the league and PA just need to figure out these economic issues and to stop playing cat and mouse. After that, Hunter goes into Evgeni Malkin's season review and looks at just how great he was. Would he have won the Hart trophy if the season somehow ended in December? Just how good were his underlying numbers and why was there a big change? Finally, the Penguins have been linked to playing some games outside this coming season so Hunter looks at which stadium would make more sense. Would it also be better in terms of getting fans in?

What was the best Penguins game from this past regular season?

We're back with more episodes this week and the player season reviews continue today with defenseman Marcus Pettersson. Was there a bit of a sophomore slump for him? Was he their best defenseman in the players numbers wise? What are some reasonable expectations for him going into next season? Hunter discusses that with his pairing of John Marino and then looks back at the Penguins best game of the regular season. It ended up being that wild game against the Vancouver Canucks when the Penguins were down 6-3 in the third period and won 8-6. Hunter discusses that game, plus ponders some other thoughts: Would Jake Guentzel have been a 45-50 goal scorer had he not been hurt and without the pandemic? Just how good was Geno during that run? He then ends the show with a new mask from Tristan Jarry and an imminent announcement coming from Adidas on the Penguins reverse retro jersey. Learn more about your ad choices.

What are the most haunted and spookiest moments in Penguins history?

Canada officially announced their roster for the World Junior Championships and one very notable Pittsburgh Penguin player has officially made it. That would be Samuel Poulin, who's projected to be in the top six of their lineup. Is that tournament almost like a tryout for him to see if he can play on the Penguins this season? Hunter discusses that, plus just how stacked Team Canada is, going into these World Juniors. Could the Rangers send Alexis Lafreniere or even Kaapo Kakko over? There's the possibility of that as well. After that, since it's Halloween eve, Hunter goes into some of the most haunted moments in Penguins history. Which playoff series losses are up there? Which trade (or trades) still haunt Penguins fans to this day? All that, plus many more haunted plays on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Stay away from Dale Tallon!

Now we're doing Dale Tallon rumors? Rob Rossi of The Athletic reported on Tuesday that the Penguins are interested in bringing Tallon into their front office alongside Jim Rutherford and Hunter explains why that's just an awful idea. He's not a good general manager (never was to begin with) and he's also being investigated by the NHL for using a racial slur inside the bubble. Hunter also explains that with the hiring of Trevor Daley, it would just be a slap to the face with it. After that, Hunter gets into the AHL's announcement of starting their season February 5th. Is the NHL likely to fall suit as January 1st doesn't look likely? How many games will the schedule likely be? Finally, Hunter talks about some free agents that still haven't signed. Is there a fit on the team for Mikael Granlund? Does Erik Haula makes some sense? All that, plus much more on this latest episode. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!  Rock Auto Amazing selection.

Is there a big organizational shift underway with the firing of Jason Karmanos?

The Penguins finally did a couple things that Hunter can talk about and he brings back Tyler (iFishyHD) from Penguins twitter to get his opinions about them as well. What are his thoughts on the Karmanos firing? Is Jason Botterill going to be back? The two then get into some potential big theories behind these moves...one of them being if this was ownership mandated? Is this the start of the Penguins going fully into an analytics front office? Has Mario removed one of the "Yes Men" from Jim's staff like Jim did to Mike Sullivan's coaching staff? After that, the two also talk about the Cody Ceci signing, plus a long discussion towards the end about the EA NHL game franchise and what changes need to be made.

Let's go around the league with some signings today...

There was finally some news around the league today after a bunch of slow days and Hunter starts breaking it down with the loss of Dominik Simon to the Calgary Flames. Was it surprising to see Simon go to Calgary for league minimum? Should the Penguins have signed him instead of someone like Evan Rodrigues to fill a depth role? Hunter ponders that, even though Simon is great analytically with a poor shooting percentage. Besides that, Hunter breaks down the other signings that happened today with Denis Gurianov to Connor Brown, and even Dmitry Kulikov. After that, Hunter looks at some quotes from Jim Rutherford to Seth Rorabaugh from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and questions what he and his hockey operations look at when they see a player like Cody Ceci.

Who will be the first AHL call-up when the injury bug hits?

Some more of these "reverse retro" jerseys have been leaked after the Penguins one was and Hunter is here to give his thoughts on them and if more are potentially coming. How bad do the Flyers and Golden Knights one's look? Are the Capitals going to bring back the "screaming eagle" in red this time? There's also the potential that these are only worn for just a couple select games but as more get rumored, Hunter will be here to react to them. Hunter also talks about watching some video on Cody Ceci on Youtube and detailing some of the weaknesses in his game and if they're truly fixable. Finally, Hunter talks about some potential AHL call-ups for the Penguins next season when injuries happen. Could Sam Miletic get his first call-up? What about Phil Varone?

Jim Rutherford just can't help himself

Cody Ceci was of course signed over the weekend by the Pittsburgh Penguins and Hunter is here to break it all down as he's going to be the number six defenseman heading into the season. What is his ceiling for just a one year contract? Is there any part of his game that can actually improve at this stage of his career? Hunter goes over that, and also explains how he would be easier to bench if he plays bad as he's on just a one-year deal and barely even making above $1M for next season. After that, Hunter talks about the rumored new jersey that's coming to the Penguins next season and why they should just stick to the regular black diagonal Pittsburgh jerseys. Having them in white just wouldn't feel right, plus could the Robo Penguin make a return at some point. Finally, Hunter pays tribute to Mike "Doc" Emrick, who announced his broadcasting retirement earlier today. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Now wishing for a Tampa Bay like third line...

Rumors about Marc-Andre Fleury continue to be talked about on social media and in articles and Hunter is here to tell you all that there is no reason for this reunion to happen. He talks about how the Penguins would be foolish to waste assets, whether that be prospects or players, to bring him back in a position where he wouldn't even be an upgrade for them. Plus, when is the only time they should ever even think about bringing him back? Hunter answers that, then goes into why Jim Rutherford should've waited out the market a little bit more. Pittsburgh could've had Jesper Fast for $2M per year or even Craig Smith for $3.1M per if they would've moved just a little bit of salary out. Hunter also adjusts his free agency grade a bit after those contracts came out. Finally, in the last segment, he goes around the league and talk about some of the other signings and how some bad teams have gotten better! Learn more about your ad choices.

Grading the Penguins moves on free agent frenzy!

Free Agent Frenzy got off to a slower start than normal, but despite that, the Pittsburgh Penguins still made some moves. Hunter gives his thoughts on the Penguins bringing back Evan Rodrigues, and the newcomer Mark Jankowski as those were the only two signings for the Penguins today.

Hunter ponders those questions, plus talks about what the lineup will look like now with those additions. Next, he goes around the league and gives his thoughts on some other signings, including Jack Johnson to the New York Rangers and Justin Schultz to the Washington Capitals.

Your Pittsburgh Penguins free agency primer!

It's the night before free agent frenzy which means it's time to talk some free agents! Hunter is back with another episode of Locked On Penguins and he first brings up some listener's free agent ideas that he was tweeted at today and if some of these players are good fits. Is Anthony Duclair a pipe dream. Would Troy Stecher be a good fit on the right side? Could Alexander Wennberg regain his form here? These are all questions Hunter ponders before moving to Rob Rossi and Josh Yohe's article on The Athletic where they wrote about what they've been hearing going into tomorrow. Hunter touches on some of it, including why there's no need to bring Marc-Andre Fleury back. Finally, Hunter ends the show by talking about forward Jesper Fast and how he would be the PERFECT signing for the Penguins bottom-six.

Happy Trails, Matt Murray

Another Pittsburgh Penguins trade was announced today and we finally got the Matt Murray deal as he's been dealt to the Ottawa Senators. The Penguins got a second round pick, plus Jonathan Gruden in the deal and Hunter is here to break it all down. Was this the best the Penguins could've hoped for here? Plus, Hunter also has a message for a portion of Penguins fans who treated Murray badly over his tenure here. After that, Hunter gets into the Penguins second-round selection as they took goaltender Joel Blomqvist. What's the scouting report on him? Was it fine to take a goaltender there and not a forward or defenseman? Finally, Hunter then goes into what's next for the team as free agency draws near and talks about a potential bottom six target. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!  Rock Auto Amazing selection.

What can the Penguins learn from Tampa Bay's Stanley Cup win?

With the NHL season over and Tampa Bay winning the Stanley Cup, it doesn't mean this podcast stops rolling. Hunter is back with another episode and touches on what the Pittsburgh Penguins, specifically general manager Jim Rutherford, can learn from the Lightning winning the Stanley Cup. He talks about how the Penguins just need to keep adding pieces and addressing their weaknesses to just go make another run at a Stanley Cup, just like how the Lightning did. What other kinds of trades should they look for as well. He also touches on some more line combinations for next season in the next segment. Is Sam Poulin ready to make the team? If so, where is his best fit in the lineup? Finally, he talks about what the NHL can do for next season with potential hybrid bubbles or just regular travel to arenas with no fans (or some fans) in them.

Starting to come around just a tad on the trade...

The Patric Hornqvist deal is still the main storyline going around with the Penguins and Hunter is back to talk about it, and how he's feeling a bit better about the deal a few days later. How much of an upgrade could Matheson-Ruhwedel be despite not having Hornqvist? What are some other areas Matheson needs to work on for this game? Hunter answers both of those questions, plus talks about the Stanley Cup Final as the NHL season is just about to wrap up. To end the episode, Hunter touches on the Marc Staal trade and how there could be something similar with Jack Johnson as the Penguins would have to send a sweetener for a team to take him. Could they take a lesser return for Matt Murray if they attach Johnson to him? All that, plus more on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Learn more about your ad choices.

Is this finally the end of the Jack Johnson era?

With the day after the Patric Hornqvist trade, Hunter touches on more of Mike Matheson and what changes he needs to make to his game so that he can be successful during his tenure in Pittsburgh. Are there too many turnovers in his game? What does he need to do in the defensive zone better? Hunter answers those after looking at some of his film through some videos on Twitter, plus is Matheson taking Jack Johnson's spot? Jim Rutherford today said Matheson would be on the third pairing if there was a game which means Johnson would be competing with Chad Ruhwedel so what's the Penguins next move there?

What exactly is Jim Rutherford's plan?

The Patric Hornqvist deal became official today and Hunter brings on Cam Easton (NotThatFehr) from Pittsburgh Penguins twitter onto the show again to break it down with him and get his thoughts on the deal. They talk about how great of a player Patric Hornqvist was and how even though it made sense to move him, it's still going to sting for quite awhile. They also breakdown the logjam on the left side of their defense as they have too many layers there now. Who's on their way out? Would GMJR dare trade Brian Dumoulin and make the team even worse? Both are questions they try to answer, and they also look at what Matheson and Sceviour will bring to the team, especially Matheson's ability to lead the breakout and gain the offensive zone.

Talking about an underrated RFA bottom six target

Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette had a story about some third line center targets go live today and Hunter breaks down some of the targets in that article, most notably Philip Danault and Chris Tierney. Hunter explains how Danault would be a great fit but the cost to acquire would be too much, while also talking about Tierney and how underrated he is at this point in his career.

He then goes into the Conference Final matchups and how Dallas was able to advance to the Stanley Cup Final, plus how Tampa just needs to finally finish the job and meet them there.
