Friend of the show, Matt Kass joins me on the podcast today. Matt is a big Devils fan, a digital copywriter for FOCO, and serves as team reporter for the PHF’s Metropolitan Riveters. Kass and I are also former dek hockey linemates, so it’s always a blast to reconnect and talk puck.

“Don’t Take It Too Hard” DET@PIT 12/28/22

The Isles thumped the Penguins last night on the Island, but it’s a Hockey Night… IN PITTSBURGH!!! …so there’s no time to sit around and brood. GMSY’s Red Wings are in the Burgh and they’re hungry for Penguin Blood, coming as they are, off a 7-4 victory over Jon Cooper and the Bolts exactly one week ago today. It’s up to the Pengweeno’s to shake the Elmont Frost off THEIR flightless wings ..and bear down on tonight’s visiting ones (Wings, that is). I predict the Russian Bear will get on the scoring sheet tonight. How about you?

“Sparky: Leftover Mascot” PIT@NYI 12/27/22

Islanders mascot, Sparky The Dragon can’t seem make up his mind which team he wants to root for …at least that USED to be the case, when Sparky served as the mascot for the New York Dragons of Arena Football fame. The NHL’s New York Islanders, though unable to come up with their own mascot idea, have remained a thorn in the collective sides of the Pittsburgh Penguins Hockey Club. Brock Nelson looks to make his return following a brief stint on the IR, and he’s been red-hot of late. So, for that matter, has Sidney Patrick Crosby, the two veteran centermen with 35 (Crosby) and 34 (Nelson) points on the season, respectively.

“To Beat The Weather” CAR@PIT 12/22/22

Coming off an emotionally charged, thrilling victory over rival New York (Rangers), the Penguins have one concern as they head into their Christmas break: There’s weather - Hurricanes, to be specific - passing through the easternmost Ohio River Valley and the NHL’s Allegheny County Hockey Club are hoping to beat it …as they head home for the holidays.

“Weirdo Magicians: A PIT-v-NYR Conv. with Hockey Shaman Nick Spagnolo” NYR@PIT 12/20/22

Nick Spagnolo is a Hockey Shaman. He may be the first of his kind, but he definitely won’t be the last. Nick’s a big Rangers fan and stopped by Fly Penguins Fly Game-Day Podcast to share some of his tremendous hockey knowledge - as it pertains to tonight’s big rematch between the Pengweenos and New York County, NY’s Original Six NHL franchise. We talk Sidney Crosby, Jacob Trouba, and of course (because why wouldn’t we)… Alex Ovechkin’s quest to break Gretzky’s goal-scoring record.

“I’ll show YOU Penguin Steaks” PIT@BUF 12/09/22

It’s a 5:00pm EST puck drop today as your Penguins take on the Canes in Raleigh. We like that Stormy the Ice Hog was born in ‘The Sty;’ we do NOT like his brazen talk of ‘penguin steaks’ being his favorite food dish. No. We. Do. Not. Sid Crosby continues his epic point-scoring insanity, and Evgeni Malkin was up on skates in yesterday’s practice …despite taking a massively powerful 87-slapper to the knee in a victory over Florida the other day. Let’s see if the Penguins can solve ‘Koochie,’ the Carolina backup who tonight will go between the pipes for Rod-The-Bod & Co. ... Casey DeSmith is your Penguin net-minder today, and Phil Bourque is a new dad! Congrats to the ‘Ole 29er and his family. :)

“A Conversation With Richard Cole” PIT@FLA 12/15/22

My dear friend, Richard Cole (long-time ice hockey goaltender, British ex-pat, and Pens fan since the mid-eighties) is BACK on Fly Penguins Fly. We discuss the fact that Chad Ruhwedel is an automaton with an interchangeable battery, the likelihood that the Penguins will rally and unseat the disappointing Panthers tonight,
