  • Will the Real Pittsburgh Penguins Please Stand Up?

    While football owns the headlines, it's also hockey season in the Pittsburgh area. Mike Asti is joined by Jesse Marshall of The Athletic and McKeens Hockey to dissect the Penguins early season confusion.

    Are the real Penguins more the team that was red hot and winning the first week of the season or the team now in the midst of a losing streak? What can be done to fix their issues? Is it insulting that Sidney Crosby is so far down most oddsmakers lists for MVP or does it just signify the end of his era in the NHL? They even talk the polarizing perception of Evgeni Malkin.
