Locked On Penguins - Daily Podcast On The 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.

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.

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.

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. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On 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.

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.

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.

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.
