Locked On Penguins - Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Penguins

A new month(and day) will always mean another episode of Locked On Penguins. The Penguins had one giant win against the Islanders on Saturday before playing their worst game of the season on Sunday. It was very much #onbrand for them this year as it's been the story of the season. In this episode, Hunter touches on the play of Kris Letang and how he's playing his finest hockey of the season, plus how Jared McCann makes a huge difference while he's in this lineup. He also touches on both the special team units and what he would do to fix them. Is Brian Dumoulin the key to get that unit back? Who should QB the PP? Finally, we have the listener takeaways segment for both games this weekend before a huge week against the Philadelphia Flyers!

The Pittsburgh Penguins lost in one of the worst ways tonight as Kris Letang broke his stick on the PK and Hunter is back to tell everyone not to get freaked out about it. Sometimes, that's just hockey. He touches on the great games from Brandon Tanev, Jake Guentzel, and Tristan Jarry as this is now Jarry's 6th straight great start. He also touches on the struggles of the 4th line and why a trade may need to be made as soon as tomorrow to get some help down there, despite Jared McCann on his way back. Should Drew O'Conner be sent down to WBS? What about Mark Jankowski? Finally, we have the always fun listener takeaways segment as they get to share their thoughts on the game!

Just because it's not a game day doesn't mean there can't be a lot of Penguins news! Ron Hextall made his first move as Penguins GM today and it came courtesy of the Flyers! Hextall claimed defenseman Mark Friedman off waivers from them and Hunter goes into what that means moving forward with the Penguins defense. Is Juuso Riikola on his way out? Is it the right move to have PO Joseph not play for a bit? Hunter then has a mailbag segment for the first time in a couple of months and touches on a number of topics, including what Hextall's first trade should be and what pens skater would be the best goalie. Finally, in the last segment, Hunter makes his case for why the Penguins WILL still finish 2nd in the East division at the end of the season.

That's 5 wins in 6 games for the Pittsburgh Penguins and they seem to be hitting their stride at the right time. Hunter breaks down the latest 3-2 win for Pittsburgh over Washington, including the strong play of Teddy Blueger. How has he been able to get so much better offensively from last year to this year? He also touches on Kapanen and what a response game he had after being benched against the Islanders during parts of the last game. Hunter also gets into the play of the power play, as it continues to improve, as well as Tristan Jarry's stellar start again. Finally, we get the listener takeaways segment as a way to bring the fans into the conversation!

There's a whole lot to cover when it comes to the Pittsburgh Penguins these days, isn't there? Hunter starts the show off by talking about Sidney Crosby's 1,000th game and how much he's meant to him and so many fans in this fanbase thus far, and how he's exceeded all expectations. He also gets into his favorite moment from Sid so far (it's a decade ago), before getting to the game against the Islanders. In the recap, Hunter offers a ton of praise for Kris Letang, who had his best game of the season. If that continues, it would change the outlook of this team tremendously. He also touches on Tristan Jarry's performance and how he's getting back to last season's form. What is he doing differently? Finally, the third segment has the always outstanding listener takeaways!

The Penguins bounced back in a huge way on Thursday night with a 4-1 win over the Islanders and for once...Hunter has nothing to complain about. The game was just that good from the Penguins as it was the first time all season that they didn't trail in one. Mike Matheson played his best game of his career and Hunter goes in-depth about what made it so good, including his "shot to himself" which led to Teddy Blueger's goal. He also touches on Cody Ceci's continued excellence, Jarry's strong play again, and then has the listener takeaways segment at the end as always!

The Penguins were lifeless in a game again...just as it looked like they were going to turn a corner. Hunter is here to talk all about it, including some hard truths about Kris Letang and where this could be headed with the Penguins. He also touches on the improved play of Tristan Jarry and how he shouldn't be credited as the main reason they lost tonight. Other points Hunter touches on: Who should the Pens trade for to upgrade their "fourth" line? Should the team move Zucker down the lineup? Same issues plaguing Geno? All that, plus the listener takeaways, on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

The Penguins have not only won two in a row...but they got a power-play goal and a multi-goal lead in the same game! Pittsburgh won their third straight game over Washington and got to 7-5-1 on the season. Hunter recaps the game, starting with the Tanev line and how it's much better than a "competent fourth line." He also dissects how the power-play was able to break through and talks up Bryan Rust as he's been on a heater. Hunter also talks about the play of Mike Matheson and Cody Ceci as they're playing their best hockey right now, especially Ceci. After that, he gets into Jarry's play and how he slammed the door in the third period. Finally, the third segment brings back listener takeaways from the win!

The Penguins scratched out a win by the skin of their teeth tonight as they beat the New York Islanders in a shootout, 4-3. The main reason for it? Evgeni Malkin. He came alive during the end of the third period with his third goal of the season, which sent the game to OT. Is this the start of things to come? Hunter dissects his game more and why he needs to still start shooting. Hunter also talks about Mike Matheson, and how he had his best game of the season. Cody Ceci continued to shine, plus how dominant is the Crosby line currently? Don't miss the listener takeaways as well for the last segment, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.
