Locked On Penguins - Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Penguins

The Pittsburgh Penguins are back in the driver's seat! Hunter starts the show by recapping a massive Monday around the NHL as the Penguins are back in control of their playoff destiny with everything to play for., He goes into how the New York Islanders completely no-showed against the Washington Capitals while the Florida Panthers also lost in overtime to the Toronto Maple Leafs. It's all going to come down to...yep, beating the two worst teams in the league! Hunter then previews Tuesday's game against the Chicago Blackhawks, which SHOULD be a gimme game considering how bad the Blackhawks are and how they're going to be playing in this game on virtually no rest. He looks at just how bad their roster is and even compliments them for the tank job that they are pulling off right now for Bedard. Hunter then gives his keys for the Penguins to take care of business before finishing the show with some more good news. Which injured players are likely to come back against the Hawks? Is Drew O'Connor recovering nicely? All of that, plus how it's time to see what this team is made of, is on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

The final week of the regular season is upon us as the Pittsburgh Penguins failed to gain any ground over the weekend. They're still 1 point back of the Islanders and Panthers as they have the most manageable remaining schedule of the three teams. The show starts with Hunter looking at how the Penguins played on Saturday and how they showed that same desperation and urgency while again also admitting that they shouldn't even be in this situation. He also discusses how Tristan Jarry has finally turned it around a bit when the Penguins have needed him to, plus how the core has been the main reason they're even fighting for a playoff spot. After that, the focus shifts to the Islanders as they have an easy schedule for their final two games but anything is possible. Gil touches on how Ilya Sorokin has carried them since Mathew Barzal went down and how the Islanders have gotten back to basics since Lane Lambert is out of the Barry Trotz coaching tree. Finally, the two get Armando's thoughts on the Panthers as they've been riding high and Armando explains how Alex Lyon continues to impress. He also analyzes how the Panthers have been able to rattle off this winning streak while also getting a bit antsy since their next two games are against two very good teams. All that, plus much more is on this special crossover episode of Locked On Penguins.

It's crunch time, baby! Hunter starts the show by previewing Saturday's massive matchup against the Detroit Red Wings as they really do have no room for error right now. They NEED to win out, plus get a little bit of help along the way. Hunter looks at what he wants to see from the Penguins right when the puck is dropped on Saturday afternoon and why the special teams also need to be a lot better than they were a week and a half ago. He especially says it for the PK as it gave up another costly goal late in a game when the Penguins could've used a point. He also focuses on Tristan Jarry and why he will have the chance to start in this game since Casey DeSmith wasn't very good in the previous two meetings against them. He also has a big Crosby guarantee for this one since the Captain has been a little bit off toward the end of the season. After that, Hunter discusses why the Penguins shouldn't even be in this situation right now with how many blown leads they've had this season before ending the show with a couple of injury updates, plus what's the likeliest outcome for help when it comes to the Islanders and the Panthers. BUCKLE UP, HOCKEY FANS!

The Pittsburgh Penguins got a massive win against the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night and Hunter wants to start the show by looking at the urgency and desperation they showed in this game. From the drop of the puck, Hunter sensed that the Penguins knew their season was potentially on the line tonight, and boy, did they play like it. He loves how they came out after they got flattened in Newark on Tuesday and were rewarded with a goal in a dominant first period. Hunter analyzes how Kris Letang could full Marc-Andre Fleury with that shot before the Penguins got rewarded even more in the middle frame thanks to Rickard Rakell's blast. Hunter looks at how it looked like an Alex Ovechkin goal from the left circle as he continues to be stellar for the Penguins. After that, Hunter praises Tristan Jarry for a good performance as the Penguins will need to rely on him in these final three games if they want to extend their playoff streak to 17 seasons. He then analyzes how strong of a game Brian Dumoulin had as he now has a new career-high in points and had a beautiful zone entry that led to a goal. Finally, he discusses why fans SHOULD want this team to get into the playoffs even if it would only be for a week or two. All that, plus much more is on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

How...how is that the kind of performance that the Pittsburgh Penguins put out with everything on the line? Hunter starts the show trying his best to answer that question as the Penguins no-showed one of their most important games of the season on Tuesday night. They were done for at the drop of the puck as they looked a step slow. Right out of the gate, that was all it took. He discusses how the Devils' speed was giving them fits and why they made poor decisions with the puck whenever they got it. You simply cannot play like that when you're in a playoff race, especially when you have a game in hand on a team in front of you in the standings. After that, Hunter looks at how Hextall's fingerprints continue to be all over this roster with how Mikael Granlund and especially Jeff Petry looked. He analyzes how Petry played some atrocious defense throughout the game and why he made a terrible pinch that led to Dawson Mercer's first goal of the game. He then still wonders what Hextall saw in Granlund as he struggled at both ends of the ice and po0nders at how good this team could be if it actually had depth since the Penguins now have SIX different 20-goal scorers this season. Finally, Hunter looks ahead to the final four games for the Penguins, Islanders, and Panthers, and argues that every game now is a must-win, especially with their schedules.

It was a mixed weekend for the Pittsburgh Penguins but in the end, they ended it still in a playoff spot. Hunter starts the show by discussing Kris Letang's legacy and how it was never certain that he would get to 1,000 games. He also discusses his favorite moments that Letang has been a part of in franchise history and why he will go down as the best defenseman in franchise history. He even makes an easy case of why Letang belongs in the Hockey Hall of Fame when it's all said and done due to how underrated he's been throughout his career. After that, Hunter analyzes how the Penguins took down the Flyers and why that was a must-win with everything at stake. He praises Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust for getting the team going after a slow start, plus how Casey DeSmith turned in one of his finest starts of the season when they needed it most. He even praises Mikael Granlund for making a neat play when the game got close late in the third period, which sprung Ryan Poehling for the putaway goal. After that, he quickly discusses the fallout of the Bruins loss and why the Penguins would be in even better shape had they just gotten a point out of that game. He looks at where it all went wrong and ponders the thought of some changes to the assistant coaches if the special teams continue to be this bad. Finally, Hunter previews what's to come this week as it's about to get very stressful in this city.

The Pittsburgh Penguins FINALLY got a shutout win on Thursday night as they made it look easy against the Nashville Predators. To start the show, Hunter touches on how the Penguins defended at a very high level and why they needed to show that they can win games like this during this time of year. It doesn't matter who the opponent is. If you can't win a close game like this, even when you're outplaying the other team, then you won't go far in the playoffs. Hunter analyzes how the Penguins' breakouts were super crisp and why outside of a couple of unfortunate bounces, they were able to get the puck back with ease in the defensive zone. After that, he praises both Jason Zucker and Jake Guentzel for their goals as they continue to stay hot as the season winds down. Hunter even compliments Brian Dumoulin for one heck of a curl & drag move that he made to set up Zucker's goal. He then looks at how Tristan Jarry was stellar in the net and why they will need him to play like that in most of their final games if they want to make the dance yet again. Finally, Hunter ends the show with a look ahead to this weekend as it has the potential to be quite the spectacle at PPG Paints Arena.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have another big one on tap on Thursday against the Nashville Predators and Hunter starts the show by previewing that matchup. He discusses how the Predators are severely banged up going into this game and why the Penguins can't afford to leave points off the table against a team that doesn't have any of their top forwards playing. He gives a few keys for the Penguins to bounce back before discussing Mikael Granlund and why he's kinda just...been there through his first 13 games as a Penguin. He analyzes why he isn't a good fit for the Penguins after passing on numerous prime scoring chances on Tuesday night and why he needs to be shooting a lot more. He also looks at why the criticism shouldn't be directed at him but should be at the GM for adding a pass-first player to a team that has very few finishers. Finally, Hunter discusses what the Penguins should do in goal for the game against the Predators, plus why their top priority should be trying to get a very good goaltender at the end of this season, especially if they don't trust Jarry.

Another tied game late in the third period and another regulation loss! It's been a theme for the Pittsburgh Penguins over the last week and change, and it came up again on Tuesday night. Hunter starts the show by touching on the turning point, and yes, it's Rust's late penalty. He analyzes why there was no reason for him to even high-stick Seider in that situation and harps on the team for continuing not to play good situational hockey. He even goes back to last week when the same thing happened against the Dallas Stars and the Ottawa Senators and the Penguins didn't come away with any points. Where would they be if they had gotten at least a point in those games and this one? He then slams the team for another poor start in a game that is very important before discussing why Casey DeSmith wasn't good enough when they needed him to be. He also goes into the power play and why both units provided a spark and also discusses why Drew O'Connor has been the secret ingredient to getting the fourth line going over the past week. All that, plus much more is on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

This team can never win a game the easy way, huh? Hunter starts this episode with an ode to Evgeni Malkin as he delivered one of the goals of the season for the Pittsburgh Penguins. He analyzes how it was vintage Malkin when he wanted the puck at the end of the game and then made no mistake with it when he fired it blocker side. Hunter also looks at how terrible of a giveaway it was from Anthony Mantha and why you can't do that when an all-time great is on the ice. Hunter then touches on how loud PPG was since he was there to see it and why this felt like a playoff atmosphere for the first time all season. After that, Hunter brings up the depth scoring and why it came up super clutch on the first two goals since the big guns weren't able to finish their chances...yet. He praises Ryan Poehling for being one of the team's best depth players while also wondering where in the heck that version of Chad Ruhwedel has been all season. Hunter then brings up Jake Guentzel and why he continues to have a very underappreciated season before wondering why this team cannot hold a lead. Is it because they get too tight? Do they want to run and gun throughout every game? Finally, he discusses why this win was so big standings-wise before previewing what's to come on Tuesday when the Penguins play the Detroit Red Wings.
