With the dust settled on the Penguins Stanley Cup, Mike Asti and Pittsburgh media extraordinaire Rob Rossi join forces. You know him from Trib Total Media, WPXI, and CBS Radio's 93.7 The Fan. You may hate him. You may love him. Either way, you react to him.

Asti and Rossi talk, heel to heel, on everything post Stanley Cup: Crosby and Malkin's legacy, the Conn Smythe voting, and the asinine roller coaster ride that led the Pens to claim the 4th championship in franchise history. Also, the Pirates are now front and center in Pittsburgh. What will be the life of the Buccos the rest of the summer?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are the 2016 Stanley Cup champions. Keep repeating that to yourself and smiling. After an asinine roller coaster of a season for the ages, the Penguins have managed to bring Lord Stanley back to Pittsburgh.

Mike Asti and Nick Case wrap up the memorable year that was for the Penguins.

Just how did this team, out of the playoff race mid-season, win the 4th Stanley Cup in franchise history? Where do they go from here? Can they repeat? What does the short off-season hold? What is Fleury's future? How wide is the window to win more titles during the Crosby/Malkin era? Did Kessel get screwed out of the Conn Smythe? Mike and Nick also put this year in proper perspective and compare where this team ranks among the other 3 Penguin Stanley Cup winners.

Another season of radio gold is in the books on the PensInitiative airwaves and the Radio: PI Podcast Network!

As Pittsburgh was ready to explode with joy, the Sharks were on a mission to silence a celebrating city and get the Penguins back on an airplane. Well, San Jose accomplished that mission. The only way for the Penguins to lift the cup on home ice for the first time ever and a Pittsburgh sports team to win a championship in Pittsburgh, is to do it in a game 7.

Did the Sharks just simply take advantage of a bad night for Murray? Is the Penguins version of the Conn Smythe race now down to only two, Crosby and Kessel? Has Malkin officially silenced his critics?

Mike Asti keeps the radio gold train going with another post game show on the PensInitiative airwaves.

From Metallica performing the National Anthem, to both teams feeling like it's a necessary win, game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final had everything you want in a big game. After another win, the Penguins now sit one more from claiming the fourth Stanley Cup in franchise history.

Mike Asti hits the PensInitiative airwaves and delivers another victory of his own.

What triggered Malkin's eruption? Did Letang have his best game of the series? Despite generating more shots, why are the Sharks still struggling so much?

Mike Asti recaps game 2 while bringing the noise on the PensInitiative airwaves. How much has Phil Kessel meant to the Pens this postseason? Is Jones standing on his head the equalizer for San Jose? What can the Sharks do to climb back in this series at home? Despite the stats not always showing it, what are Crosby and Malkin doing to create offense for others? Why did the score not dictate how well the Penguins played?

The Penguins are in pursuit of the NHL's version of gold, the Stanley Cup, and Mike Asti brings you his version of gold, radio gold!

It wasn't pretty, but the Penguins did what they had to do to win a Stanley Cup Final game. Pittsburgh jumped on the Sharks early, held on through a tough stretch, and were able to ignite late. After game 1, the Pens lead the series 1-0.
