The Penguins dropped consecutive games to the Carolina Hurricanes and Winnipeg Jets and there's a similar theme between those losses. Patrick and Hunter begin the episode talking about the slog that was the loss to the Hurricanes and how a combination of poor defensive play and a lack of patience led to an uninspired loss. Then, they began the Western Canada swing in Winnipeg where the team played extremely well in the offensive zone but was a disaster in the defensive zone. They discuss what has to change in their system and how without competent defensive play, this team won't go very far. Finally, the vaunted swing through Western Canada continues this week with matchups against the Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, and Vancouver Canucks.
