As well as use Dom Luszczyszyn’s predictions ranking to support or rebuke our claims.

Kristie and Danielle are back and this time with a Guest! We are joined by Taylor Haase of DK Pittsburgh Sports. Taylor is a writer who covers a lot of the Penguins prospects from the Wheeling Nailers and WBS Penguins who else is better to talk about the Penguins future?! We go over everything that the Penguins have done in the offseason and look to the future to see how it all might fit in the 2020-2021 season. 

Note:  At the start of the episode Danielle and Kristie talk about the sexual assault allegations against former members of the WBS Penguins coaching staff. If you do not want to listen to that please take care of yourself and skip to 13:30  where we begin our conversation with Taylor.

We have dates, we have news and a new episode! The NHL dropped a ton of info on the 20-21 season, so Danielle and Kristie are here to give a primer of the new season. From training camp to the 56 game condensed season and even the playoff structure. They even released the expansion draft date, the regular draft and free agency! The girls discuss the players still available, the fact that ads might be on players helmets and how that will help the NHL. As well as weigh the pros and cons of having fans in arenas.

In today’s episode, apparently NHL owners can’t or more correctly, chose not to read the two month old CBA, so the start of the 2020-2021 season could be delayed. Danielle and Kristie try to figure out why the NHLPA always seems to fold in these negotiations. As well as discuss new NHL hiring's and the good, bad and teams that should redo their reverse retro jerseys. And because 2020 continues to suck, they also discuss Jake Paul vs Evander Kane.

Today’s episode is exciting, Hannah joins the show to discuss everything going on around the NHL. We’re switching up the format and decided to touch on some Penguins topics first by welcoming back Trevor Daley and trying to figure out what’s going on in the front office. Then we move on to a lengthy discussion of Mitchell Miller, the Arizona Coyotes and why hockey culture will never allow teams to get it right. Then we wrap up with a game, Love Island: Hockey Free Agent Edition. A special thanks to Hannah for joining us and as always talk to us @Wheres_my_stick!

*** Sidenote: the first 10 minutes of Hannah’s audio got cut out (mostly the Pens stuff, we edited it as much as we could, but still felt like we had a really good convo about the Miller situation, a fun game and wanted to keep the Daley stuff in. Sorry for any confusion!

A lot has happened since we last recorded, there is a new Stanley Cup Champ, the Pens signed another left handed, not so great Dman and we are now in to trade rumors part of the off season. The NHL had no positive test in the bubble, but that doesn't mean there were no complaints. The Pens are making some questionable moves, we give our thoughts on which is the worst. Is Henrik Lundqvist the Swedish Patrick Sharp? Should the Jets trade Laine? Jack Eichel to the Rangers? We talk about all this and more in this week's episode!

The NHL and it’s players had to face their second test after many promised to listen, learn and be a part of change. We discussed how they messed up while the whole world was watching, the NHL schucked the responsibility on the players and with that responsibility some players stepped up more than others. This past week we saw first hand why it’s important for people and players of color to be in the room, during these conversations and if the NHL or it’s players want to actually be a part of change, why they must demand it.
