Whew, that was another tough one. Hunter is joined by Phil from Islanders Twitter to recap another stunning Penguins loss to the Islanders as they blew another third period lead to them. Hunter goes over how more bad goaltending and sloppy defensive play doomed the Penguins yet again as they continue to find new ways to lose. He looks at how Jarry was out to lunch on the last two goals and why he’s got to have those, despite it being his first game back. He then looks at what the turning point of the game was while Phil gives his input. The answer may even surprise you. Hunter also details why it’s time for Ron Hextall to get out of his dungeon to make this team better as the trade deadline is approaching very quickly. No, this team is not going to sell, especially after the front office went all in during the offseason. The two also discuss the outlooks for each team as we head down the stretch as the Islanders are going to be without Barzal for a bit while the Penguins have been anything but consistent. Are the odds of the Penguins missing the playoffs going up? What needs to change to get this thing turned around? All that, plus a lot more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Bringing Hextall and Burke in has been a total DISASTER! I strongly believe the old Army saying " Attitude Reflects Leadership." If the Front office has the attitude of making the TEAM a PRIORITY instead of a 9 to 5 paycheck, we may not be where we are.
I don't think this team will make the playoffs.
All good points. This Pens team sucks. No heart, no grit. If we didn't sign Carter and Kapanen, we'd have 6 mil to play with. Unfortunately I'm seeing why Hextall got fired in Philadelphia
Yea it really is a mess right now.
Our defense is just flat out pathetic! We need to trade Kapanen and bring in some REAL defense. Doumolin just doesn't have it anymore. We also need a legit #2 goalie.
This game was just like the Playoffs Jarry played like crap turned the puck over at a crucial time allowing a terrible goal!! This year's team is TRASH!!!
.No bottom 6
. Inconsistent goaltending
. GM that’s to quite
. Sully can only do so much with this team
Wow Penguins are a joke seriously looking to trade Petry you just traded a better player that has a cheaper salary in Matheson now have Petry and want tp trade him too?? FIRE Hextall no wonder Philly got rid of him he is a joke!!! He failed once and is failing again. He is like Joe Biden asleep at the wheel!!!
