Locked On Penguins - Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Penguins

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? Hunter discusses that, plus a whole lot more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Woof! The Pittsburgh Penguins got blasted by the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night as nothing positive came from the game. Hunter starts off the show with a message to the fanbase since it was the time of overreactions. He touches on how the team is just in a slump and why it should turn around sooner or later. 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. Hunter also discusses how the Penguins weren't forechecking at all and how Tristan Jarry not standing on his head is oftentimes the norm since that's how goaltending is. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

The Penguins are in the midst of a long break, but there's still plenty of content to go around. Hunter first starts Tuesday's show with some practice notes and how Teddy Blueger is getting closer to a return. He touches on how he's been almost irreplaceable this season with how great he is at both ends of the ice. Who should come out of the lineup for him? Does it matter between Simon and Boyle? He then touches on some other practice tidbits before previewing Thursday's contest against New Jersey. He looks at what the Devils' lines will look like and who to look out for again, while also speaking about who they may have on the trade block. After that, he gets to some trade targets. Should the team go after Phil Kessel? Hunter shares his case, plus also looks at Rakell from Anaheim, Joe Pavelski, Conor Garland, and many more.

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

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