The Pittsburgh Penguins got back in the win column with a 4-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens and Hunter and Pat recap the game to start the show, They first shout out Tristan Jarry for his performance after he delivered another gem. They marvel at his consistency throughout the season and how he came up with a lot of timely saves before shouting out Kris Letang. Yes, he had a bad turnover early in the game but he still played like a man on a mission afterwards. After that, they analyze the performances of Drew O’Connor and Valtteri Puustinen before shouting out Erik Karlsson for a strong game. In the second segment, they then break down the Emil Bemstrom trade and how he fits the Penguins as a player. They also look at the condition of the sixth-round pick and how it’s not as big of a deal as people are making it out to be. Finally, they preview Sunday’s massive matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Hope Puustinen can keep this up more than a few games. He looked really dangerous tonight. If he can do this all next season he might be a 15g 40+ points player
Outside of 2021 playoffs and 2 months of last season, Jarry has been solid his whole career and people disrespect him constantly
Say no to Puusty being sent down…
the way your gonna change dubas mind is to win the rest of games before deadline
For once I don't really have any complaints, the Pens were pretty solid tonight. I guess if I were to nitpick I don't like Matthew Phillips' game, he's listed at 5'8 but I seriously think that's exaggerated. He looks like he's like 5'3, and he gets knocked off the puck very easily. I'm not really liking that waiver claim so far.
He did score 10 goals in 8 ahl games this year
Let's hope that sully will let the docs, pustis, and puljarvi play their way to success the rest of this season. Sitting pusti in the third after one mistake was a typical sully move with young players. Yet he plays Phillips in the top 6 and doesn't remove Harkin from the line up after 0 points. His coaching is inconsistent with these roster decisions, why not jp replace Harkin for some size and offensive push for the 4th line.
People that have criticized Erik Karlsson this year, have not watched the games. He has been solid. Has he had some bad games, sure, but for most of the season, he's been terrific. Outside of the PP struggles, which falls on the unit as a whole.
He's at 41 points right now and he'll probably end up in the 55 maybe 60 point range, if he can go on a tear, which is near his average for his career. Also very quietly, he's a +9 on the season.
EK has been a net positive and certainly better than if they kept Petry and Granlund (ugh).
My biggest issue all along with Dubas' strategy was that he went into the offseason saying that he didn't need to add any offense to the bottom 6 because the top 6 could carry the offense. Creating two 4th lines for the bottom 6 didn't make much sense then, and it has clearly been a misjudgment as it has played out. And this has in turn had an impact on Karlsson (as well as Petts and Letang) in terms of overall production because being out there with the current bottom 6 … not to mention Rakell and Smith going MIA in the top 6 … has without question taken away from their assist totals because the forwards simply cannot score.
Alex Nylander is a top 6 type of player that isn't good enough to be a top 6 liner in the NHL. To get a probable roster player in return is a big W for the Pens.
I’m not sure it’s him, or just his presence, but when Noel Acciari is injured, this team looks totally disconnected. It seems like his spark on the PK is always vital to get this team going sometimes. Just an observation.
Nice
I’ll say it now EK,Jarry,Acciari
They are all unappreciated
You want to talk about someone who throws piss missiles Puusty is the man
I heard from a Columbus fan that Bemstrom's got wheels and a cannon for a shot but just doesn't use it often enough. Sounds like modern day Kapanen to me.
love the podcasts always listen hopefully the pens can get back on track
Everyone complaining about a supposed down year for EK65, meanwhile he's 11th in the league in D-man scoring… Like, pay attention people! And yes, Hunter, he'd have at least 10 more points if the PP didn't suck..
