The Pittsburgh Penguins are officially done after back-to-back losses to the Stars and Avalanche, and both Hunter and Pat are here to discuss what went wrong. They start with the game against the Dallas Stars and how the Penguins let a good start go to waste. They go into how Michael Bunting got things going before the team became fragile again after the Stars got a couple of goals. They analyze how the Penguins power play could take a couple of lessons from the Stars one before looking at how Tristan Jarry wasn’t good enough when he needed to be. After that, they recap the 4-0 blown lead to the Colorado Avalanche and discuss how the team wilted after a very strong first half of the game. They look at how the team wasted Sidney Crosby’s vintage performance and how this loss is the cherry on top for this season. They look at how things got started for the Penguins before they wilted, plus how the goaltending was also not good enough. Finally, they have a full discussion about the March goaltending to end the show and if this raises questions about Jarry for next year.

It’s going to be so awkward on Tuesday night.
At this point i am hoping for a good top 3 lottery pick. Celebrini would speed up a retool though.
Most of the Stars goals were lucky bounces. On on the 4th goal…that was one heck of defensive effort from EK😂..i don’t know what that was?
This weekend 🤮🤬……How many goals will Jake score Tuesday night? 🤔🤣😂
Pens definitely need a more consistent goalie. But yeah, there are other issues. Sounds a lot like the Steelers 😆.
On a semi-related note, SynonymForWet might be the best Twitter name I've heard.
Why did the refs stop Ned from coming back into the game after being checked out?? That pile of Shit Jarry stopped 4 of 5 shots thats pathetic!!
Benn not Pavelski scoring 2 goals in second when the Pens collapsed
I have no idea how they can bring Sullivan back next season, yet it sure seems like they're going to. Coaches get fired all the time for way less than how bad the Pens are. His postgame comments after the Avs game were really frustrating. "We competed hard." Uhh you blew a 4-0 lead Mike.
To be honest I was watching this game at my sisters yesterday and when it was 4-0 I turned to my dad and said, they’ll find a way to blow it. Sure enough here we are.
Honestly, this team is making Kyle Dubas job this coming offseason so easy, if I were him this team hasn’t given me one reason on why it shouldn’t have the plug pulled and just be blown up completely.
I’m not even mad.
Sid proved he can still control a game.
Kids are starting to get some experience.
Bunting and Puljujärvi are showing they can fit in here and make a difference.
ANNDD… seasons lost and they should be getting a top 10 pick. What’s the point in winning and coming up short🤷♂️
It is interesting getting the opposition's perspective. I watched the Stars broadcast on Friday … my two favorite Daryl Reaugh quotes during the game. LOL
— "The Stars haven't had this much room through the neutral zone all season"
— "I guess the Pens power play is trying to pass the puck in to the net" (that was during the 2nd period power play)
Trade Crosby to Edmonton for a first and a second! The rebuild is found in the draft 5 year plan to be a contender again. Good luck Pens take a forward with the pick, preferably a center. 🎭
I'm a Colorado fan who works at Ball arena & I agree with everything you said.You guys did a fair job of giving us credit-but also rightly hammering your team.When you blow 4 goal lead its mostly on you.I wasnt surprised the Pens played well-I work a few feet from where the visiting bus unloads,& watching them about 45 minutes before puck drop-messing around with a soccer bal.
I had a bad feeling,& after how that game started only confirmed my greatest fears.They seemed very loose,& confident.You cant always tell-sometimes I think a team looks tight or loose & it doesnt play out.And I dont get to see every visiting nhl or nba team warm up-but maybe 25% of the time. sometimes its seems you can get little indications.
However-the 1 thing I'd disagree with is-the Avs wouldn't have tapped out-no game is ever over with this team.Maybe had it got to 5-0,but we knew theyd make a run at least-they almost always do-especially at home where they have the best home record in hockey.We blew 4-0 lead in Arizona around Christmas,& lost in OT. We had a 1 goal lead with 45 seconds left in Nashville…AND DIDNT EVEN GET TO OT-ALLOWED 2 GOALS!
But on the flip side-Avs are the best 3rd period team in the nhl-last I checked.And we are definitely the best comeback team in the NHL. Have overcome several 3 goal defecits-TWICE in Dallas we were down 3 goals in the 3rd.Came back to win once in regulation,& once in OT. Those 2 games very well might determine the Central turns out.And multiple goal defecits are seemingly nothing to this team.But as Mckinnon said-they also blow tons of leads themselves.
on the bright side, top ten pick probable
Once we gave them their first goal I told my wife we were going to lose 5-4. I wish I had put a bet on that right after their first goal. 😅
Thank you for not making copeium content.
Coach plays minor league hockey but was blessed with so many great players. U gotta play defensive at times
They don’t hit they aren’t physical at Al on defense it hurts
Goalies to slide to square up it’s always a blocker sideways vs towards the area
Peterson is soft, letange isn’t him
All season I have waited for a Pens D man to throw at body check at their blue line , well maybe next year. Pens need Crosby and Bunting and start over again .
Maybe Sully wants to be gone🤔, when you are up 4-0 you dont defend, you pour it on, why wasnt a time out called @ 4-2?
