Locked On Penguins - Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Penguins

It's the week of crossovers as Hunter brings on another face of the Locked On Network onto Locked On Penguins! Jay Forster of Locked On Blue Jackets comes onto the show for the first time to first touch on the Locked On NHL's Top 50 player list and how both franchises got shafted. We first start with Evgeni Malkin and the insanity of him not making it. Should one bad year be the difference? The focus then turns to Zach Werenski and how he was left off as a snub as well. After that, the hosts talk about the Pens-Jackets rivalry as a whole and where it stands today. With the Jackets not expected to be good again next year, will they still come in waves to see them play Pittsburgh? Where does CBJ rank on the list of Penguins rivals? Does Jay expect the Jackets to make some noise next season? What's his favorite Pens-CBJ memory? All that, plus much more on this special crossover episode of Locked On Penguins.

After almost 2 years of doing this podcast, Hunter has never done a crossover with the Flyers host...until now. That's right, Rachel Donner of Locked On Flyers joins the show to talk about the other team across the state. What were her thoughts on all of the moves this offseason? Is Chuck Fletcher right to bet on Ristolainen to turn his career around? Was last season the start of Carter Hart's demise or will he bounce back this season? What are realistic expectations for Philly? Rachel also asks Hunter about the Penguins, including: How have we all enjoyed the Ron Hextall experience? Has he done enough to make them a contender going into this season? What else could still be done, even during the season? All that, plus much more on this special episode of Locked On Penguins.

Hunter starts off today's show with an ode to Henri Lundqvist as he's not only the best goaltender of the generation but a top 5 goaltender of all time. He discusses all the great moments between him and the Penguins and how the tables turned on that night in 2016 when the "Baby Stuff" happened. Hunter also goes into a sort of "What If?" scenario for the Penguins as that series in 2014 would qualify. How different would the franchise be if Hank didn't steal that game? After that, he goes into Danton Heinen a bit more and why he seems like someone who could break out this offseason. What is Hunter's prediction for him? Will he get time on Malkin's wing? Will he produce more than McGinn? Finally, we go around the league with some news on the Arizona Coyotes, EA NHL 22, Jake Guentzel's marriage, and much more.

After a small hiatus, Hunter is back with a fresh episode of Locked On Penguins and as usual, there are no shortages of topics to discuss. Hunter starts with the first front-office hire and how it's a good idea to bring an agent into the fold who knows the salary cap. Does he take the place from Jason Botterill? Or is it a little bit of Sam Ventura's role, except with no data in? Hunter then also touches on the advertisement news and which company should have an ad on the Penguins jerseys. Is it Sheetz? Finally, Hunter does get to John Marino and how the Penguins can get him back to his old self. Does he need to play with Pettersson full-time? What type of deployment should he get? He also discusses Jeff Carter going into next season and why some fans should temper their expectations with him.

Today's episode starts with a heartfelt tribute to Mike Lange after he announced his retirement earlier this week. Hunter goes over what made Mike truly special as it was almost as if you could see the game with your eyes closed while he was calling it. He also discusses how Mike was almost everyone's childhood in this fanbase, especially when it comes to so many fans growing up with him in the 90s, plus over a decade later with everyone growing up with Sid and Geno. Where does he rank in a Penguins Mt. Rushmore? How great was he away from the rink? Hunter also discusses those two points before moving to ZAR's new contract. Was it a fair price or a bit of a bargain? Is it likely he walks next season? Who should play next to him and Blueger? Finally, Hunter issues a dire warning to the Penguins fanbase as a Locked On NHL Top 50 players list is about to go out and yes, Geno will somehow not be on there.

Today's episode of Locked On Penguins is a special crossover. Seth Toupal of Locked On Wild joins the show to touch on both teams as former Penguins assistant general manager Billy Guerin has been pretty dang busy this offseason. Hunter brings up the Parise and Suter buy-outs and if Seth agreed on both of those decisions, plus what he's thought has been the best move from the Wild thus far. Seth also touches on the Jack Eichel sweepstakes and if Minnesota should still be in on that, despite limited cap space. With all that said, there's still plenty of Penguins content on this show as Seth asks Hunter what his favorite move has been this offseason (sorry Brock). The two also bring up where they think each team is positioned in their respective divisions going into next season and if there are any more moves coming as well.

After teasing it for about a week, it finally has happened: Hunter is joined by the newest Pittsburgh Penguin Brock McGinn on this special episode of Locked On Penguins. The two touch on a multitude of topics, including how Pittsburgh stood out to him the most in free agency and what else he's looking forward to doing there besides play. Hunter also brings up his time in Carolina and if there's any potential for some storm surge moments to come to Pittsburgh. Could Brock convince Sid and Geno about doing it? Also discussed: What retired player did Brock wish he could've played against that's not one of the Big 4? What’s something the average fan watching on tv or in person doesn’t realize about his role in-game? Does he have any superstitions? All that, plus much more on this special episode of Locked On Penguins.

The first week of three episodes a week is here and we do have some Penguins news to start the show! Radim Zohorna has re-signed with the Penguins and Hunter shares his thoughts on that move and what it means not just for this season, but for the season after as well. Is he on track to 100% make the team next season? Could he inch his way onto this year's team, despite all the moves at forward? He also discusses Chad Ruhwedel going into next season and how he's the easy choice for the No. 6 spot. The fans need to just let Cody Ceci go. After that, a discussion about Bryan Rust's next deal takes place. What would Hunter realistically pay him? Should the Penguins walk if his ask is over $6M per?

It's a late-night one, but sometimes, that's what has to happen. In the first segment, Hunter breaks down the Danton Heinen signing as the Penguins went bargain shopping after getting Brock McGinn. Where does he see him slotting into the lineup? Could there be a fit with Jeff Carter? Is there a real shot he gets his scoring touch back? He also discusses what's next for the Penguins offseason. Is this likely it? Could a goalie trade still be coming at some point? Should they consider dumping Mike Matheson's salary? Hunter also touches on notes around the league and how the New York Rangers seem to be taking major steps back this offseason. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Happy Free Agent Frenzy day! The Penguins did end up making a couple of moves and Hunter is joined by Mad Chad from his show with Eddie to break it all down. They first start with the Brock McGinn contract as that one came out of nowhere. Is he seen as Brandon Tanev's replacement? Is the term a bit too long? Does he have more offensive potential? They then touch on Simon and Evan Rodrigues coming back and wonder if Rodrigues over Gaudreau was the right call. After that, they go into what work is still left to be done this offseason. Which goalie could they trade for? Do they still need another top 9 winger? Is Mark Friedman Ceci's replacement?
