Womp womp, the Pens are out of the playoffs and Kristie, Danielle and Kelsey have A LOT to say. But before they touch on the pens, they continue the conversation about the BLM movement and how players are contributing to the anti-racist work in hockey. Then they move onto the mess that is going on in Pittsburgh, contracts are not being renewed, questions from the front office and a ton of personnel questions for next season. Even with crashing and burning in the play in round, the pens did themselves no favors as the 1st round pick goes to the NYR. The group discusses that, touch on the playoffs and what series they will keep an eye on.

In today’s episode we discuss the recent articles about the ongoing abuse in Junior and Youth Hockey in North America. This unfortunately is not a new topic, however, within the past two weeks, multiple athletes have come forward with their stories and the trauma they experienced within their programs and leagues. We examine the power dynamics in hockey, the isolation from family and friends and other contributors to this toxic culture. Then we provide some realistic systematic changes and safety nets to put in place to keep these children safe.

The Penguins are NOT good and we apologize for saying they might be! In today's episode, we recap all of the trade deadline moves and figure out who were the winners and losers of the day. Did Nashville really forget it the deadline was on Monday? The Stars did... nothing? And of course the Metro got deeper. We talk about the Leafs, EBUGs and how NHL GM's may try and ruin it. Lastly we scream about the Pens. We look for a top defensive pair out of the defense we have left, wonder if ZAR is what kept this team afloat and look at the new guys.

They gang is back together and had a fun time recording this episode. We try to sort through the mess that was the Biz/Carcillo drama with a side of Jeremy Roenick bs and of course give our opinions on the situations. As well as look at that recent(ish) trades that happened before the trade deadline, which has us asking what is going on with the Jets and Leafs? Question if the Stars and Canucks are serious playoff contenders and look at who we'd like to see them add at the deadline. We wrap up with the Pens, like we always do. We look at their recent trade, what happens when they actually get healthy (lol) and admit, there is something special about this team.
