“When Things Go Missing” NYR@PIT 03/12/23

Daylight savings time is no fun for anyone, except plants. Even that, a pseudo-scientific “fact” we just came up with, is probably not something you’d want to toss into the middle of a 10 yr old’s birthday party in hopes of stoking joy levels. Oh, right: Hockey. Your Penguins ran up the score against the Flyers yesterday, shortly before today’s visiting Rangers came from behind to beat Buffalo in OT. That sets us all up for a mutual back-half of respective back-to-backs, doesn’t it? Word has it it’s our #1 goal, Tristan Jarry, about 180 feet down the ice from Jaroslav Halak, New York’s backup. Ryan Lindgren is still out for the Rangers, while Ryan Poehling hasn’t been spotted in the PIT lineup for ...some time. Nick Bonino has gone missing with a [insert yucky sounding word] kidney, giving us - well, literally nothing except - an episode title.

JEFF TAYLOR + JORDAN DEFIGIO

The only explanation for Thursday night's game is that we're living in the twilight zone. How many late-game leads will this Penguins team give up? Jordan and Jeff are exhausted by it, and there just isn't much else to say. They talk about superheroes, the freaking Islanders, and poor mom Stephanie in this lead-up to the Pens' afternoon game against the Philadelphia Flyers.

JEFF TAYLOR + JORDAN DEFIGIO

The Pens mounted a hefty comeback against the Blue Jackets on Tuesday night, but your co-hosts aren’t sold. If they’re really serious about marching Mount Doom and destroying the ring once and for all (making a deep run at the Stanley Cup), they need to win this game against the Isles in regulation. Jeff Taylor and Jordan DeFigio discuss all that and more!

“A Conversation With Seth Rorabaugh” CBJ@PIT 03/07/23

TribLive.com’s Seth Rorabaugh (@sethrorabaugh) stops by to chat Penguins hockey with Jordan and Jeff. It’s a big one at PPG Paints Arena tonight as the Pens look to take advantage of the “lowly” Blue Jackets… of course, we all know how “that” usually goes in this sport. Expect the Jackets to play above their pay grade tonight in Pittsburgh; hopefully the Pens can band together and stave off what will likely be an upstart onslaught.

“Unholy Ghosts: Return Of Nick Bonino” PIT@FLA 03/04/23

Jordan calls into the show from the road, as she tours for the release of her new single, ‘Unholy Ghosts.’ Click below to hear the song, which debuted last night on 105.9theX FM!! As your co-hosts celebrate a four game win streak and look forward to good things from Granlund/Bonino/Kulikov,  they also decide Ron Hextall is decidedly NOT off the hook. His performance as GM was truly fireable, and a successful postseason run by the Pens would be a truly magnificent ‘in-spite-of’ act, one that will have emanated from the locker room and most definitely not the front office. Jeff has a very specific idea of what the next Pittsburgh Penguins bobblehead giveaway should be, and that about sums up the episode. Enjoy, listeners, and Let’s Go Pens as they take on the Cats tonight in Sunrise, Florida.

“CPR Dummy” PIT@TBL 03/02/23

Ron has really done it this time. He needs to go, but in the meantime, we’re all stuck with the havoc he’s wreaked. Can Sid, Geno, and Tanger ‘flex’ and lead this team to a 17th consecutive playoff berth in spite of their inept, potentially loyalty-bereft GM? Jordan DeFigio and Jeff Taylor opine on the aforementioned… AND MORE!

“Second Coming of Penguins Jesus” or “Tank For Nela (Lopušanová)” PIT@NSH 02/28/23

Just prior to posting this episode, Brock McGinn and Mark Friedman were placed on waivers. Coupled up with St. Louis’s claiming of Kasperi Kapanen’s contract over the weekend, the Penguins will soon find themselves with a fair bit of cap space to play with. Last night, Jeff and Jordan were joined by none other than @PenguinsJesus, the omni-present Twitter user and whisperer of myriad Penguins-Hockey-related truths. We had a great time talking Pittsburgh Hockey, we hope you enjoy the conversation!

“In Good Hands” TBL@PIT 02/26/23

In St. Louis yesterday afternoon, the Penguins managed to steal an overtime win, despite surrendering another late-game lead. New father, Marcus Pettersson scored a dad-strength goal in the third period before the Pens allowed a Justin Faulk equalizer with less than three minutes remaining in the third frame. Like the Pens, the Lightning are coming into tonight’s matchup having played a game yesterday, so we figure to see a battle of backup goalies. To follow up yesterday’s victory with one on their home ice would be a much-needed boost for this backsliding Pittsburgh squad, no doubt. Jordan and Jeff wax on the merits of doom-think - if that’s a thing - and the episode kicks off with a fantastic goal call from friend-of-the-show, the Penguins Radio Network’s Josh Getzoff.

“The Point Of No Return: A Conversation With Jay Caufield” EDM@PIT 02/23/23

A two-time Stanley Cup Champion with the ’91 and ’92 Pittsburgh Penguins, Jay Caufield sits down with Jeff and Jordan for a full conversation. Ahead of tonight’s tilt against the Edmonton Oilers, we learn about Jay’s early hockey career, and how a phone call from Craig Patrick changed his life forever. He received other phone calls of great consequence, one of which came in the summer of 2000 when his old teammate, a fella named Mario Lemieux rang Jay up about a crazy idea he was having. To wrap it up, we all weigh in on the current Penguins squad and what we think about their path down the stretch of the 2022-2023 NHL campaign.
