The big breaking news of the day is Sidney Crosby being out for ‘at least’ 4 weeks after the lower-body injury suffered last week in the Olympics. Does this ruin the Penguins’ season? Historically, Evgeni Malkin has stepped up big when Crosby has been absent, but can he do that at 39? One of our biggest fans, and a massive Penguins fan, told us he was ‘spiraling’ with this news. For as fun as this season has been and as fun as the US winning a gold medal was – was it all worth it? The guys don’t think we should just accept the fact that the Olympics could very well cost the Penguins a playoff spot.

Was Sidney Crosby really that close to playing in the Gold Medal game?

Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. TK reacted to the news of Sidney Crosby being out for ‘at least’ a month as the Penguins pursue a playoff spot. Tyler expects Evgeni Malkin to step up, even at 39-years-old, like he has done in the past without Sid. He thinks Kyle Dubas will be aggressive as the trade deadline approaches. Dubas made another trade TK liked yesterday, moving on from one defenseman to acquire another. Tyler said it’s very good that Geno got this time off because he’s at the age where that is necessary in the middle of the season. Tyler admitted he would give Jack Hughes a standing ovation tomorrow night if he was at the game. TK told us a wild story about an injury he suffered off-the-ice during his career that he had to slyly lie about.
