On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey reacts to Sidney Crosby’s contract extension with the Penguins. How much pressure does it put on GM Kyle Dubas and coach Mike Sullivan to get back in the NHL’s Stanley Cup playoffs and win? Do additions including Cody Glass, Blake Lizotte and Kevin Hayes make the supporting cast around Crosby and fellow starts Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin better? And what are the consequences if the Penguins struggle and miss the playoffs again in 2025?
Jason tackles those questions, plus Oneil Cruz’s shift to center field for the Pirates. Are some fans overreacting to his early mistakes? And are the overall results actually promising for manager Derek Shelton and GM Ben Cherington?
