Happy Monday! The Pittsburgh Penguins have been busy over the last few days and Hunter and Pat are here to catch you all up on the news. They first start with the game recap from Friday as the Penguins couldn’t get a result against the Florida Panthers. They analyze how the Penguins came out and played a couple of strong periods before not being able to play in the third. Why did they stop playing in the third? They give their reasons before crushing the PP yet again for not capitalizing on another opportunity late in a game. They then get into the Jesse Puljujarvi news and what it means for the team going forward. Is it a good signing? Is he going to get a contract after the FA PTO expires? Where does he fit? They analyze all of that before ending the show with a look at the week ahead.

Would you resign Jake ? I don’t think I would. A player of his size entering his 30’s makes me nervous. He’s taking a beating over his career
Sign Varana
sullivan still having a job baffles me, the only thing the same since the back to backs other than a handful of players is the coach, and every player that leaves does better when leaving lafferty is having a career year because he actually gets ice time if youre not in the penguins top 6 youre lucky to see 6 minutes a night unless on the pk
I think there is something wrong in the room. Think back to the end of last season when the had to beat Chicago to get into the play-offs. They wanted to win and Chicago wanted to lose and yet they still lost. They look worse now than they did last season.
I've been saying for 2 years that a Kasperi Kapanen for JP trade would of been great for the Oilers and Penguins.
Glad JP is here
They're tanking for a 1st-round pick, and they want to get rid of Dubas ASAP.
Can't stand looking at his helmet the glass don't cover the eyes it covers his forehead
I got to see Mario in person play a few games. UNREAL!!! He saw the ice like no one else. It definitely was a privilege. Great show Hunter/Patrick.
With Puljujarvi I get the feeling the Pens are very skeptical of his surgery. Like today they held him out of practice even though he's on a tryout, which I thought was odd. If a player is on a tryout wouldn't practices be super important? I don't know, guess we'll see if they sign him.
interesting that the pens let Pysyk out of his PTO and he signed with Calgary. I really thought (pre injury) that it meant the end of Ruhwedel being the 6th dman.
Sullivan just cannot help himself as he reverted back to his old ways and played carter for another game. He had 13 minutes against tampa and somehow got 17 minutes against FL. WHY? Its just ridiculous. Sullivans tell is having carter go over the boards the very next shift after a goal is scored. Everyone knows thats Sullys move. Thats why there are so many high danger shots right against right after a goal for.
The Pens' lack of effort, in games, has been an enigma, for years, now. Hell, the "no lead is safe" and "two goals is the worst lead to have" memes about the Pens, have been known since the 2018-19 season, maybe longer.
You could probably count, on one hand, the number of games that the Pens have dominated, from beginning to end, since the last time they won a playoff round.
