    Josh and Corey are great. Joe isn’t my cup of tea to say the least.

  • So close to 5 stars

    Would easily be 5 stars if Bartnick wasn’t so brutal. Week after week he proves himself to be an absolute donkey. If only Pittsburgh had a team that tries to make the playoffs only to get immediately bounced every year…

  • Yohe’s good. Everything else needs to improve

    Very obvious it’s early in the evolution of this pod, so there’s going to be room for improvement. The hosting needs to be sharper with smoother transitions and teeing up topics for the panel. Joe (poor man’s Marc Maron) is problematic. He’s trying to do his best mark madden impression, which doesn’t work, and making uninformed comments. I don’t think calling an organization woke for hiring a female assistant coach (check her resume, it’s similar to male hockey coaches) while suggesting Boudreau... more

  • Unlistenable

    I like Josh Yohe and Cory Tucek and they know there stuff when it comes to all things Pittsburgh Penguins and the NHL, but jeez is Joe Bartnick awful. He provides very ignorant takes about hockey, has a grating voice and is always putting down certain teams based on their market size or whatever or not their Canadian. I’m sorry but I don’t listening to a podcast clearly designed for the average bro and knuckle dragger very compelling audio. Not worth the listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2FT129 - What's wrong with the Penguins?
Q: What are your thoughts on the goaltending?
Miroslav has looked strong overall, but there was a notable leaky goal early in a critical moment; the rookie goalkeeper will face tough tests ahead, and mental resilience plus sharp defensive support will determine how he handles the tougher road games.
2FT128 - Penguins Season Opener & Predictions
Q: Will the Penguins make the playoffs this season?
The hosts disagree; one predicts they will miss the playoffs due to age and division depth, while the other remains cautiously optimistic, citing depth and potential improvement in net, resulting in a belief they could still contend depending on goaltending and maturity of younger players.
2FT128 - Penguins Season Opener & Predictions
Q: What are you looking forward to most this season?
The guest highlights the potential impact of Sir Game Hirschov and the goaltending could improve, with optimism tied to Carlson's presence and the young players like Kendall stepping up, signaling a deeper roster than in previous years.
2FT126 - Jim Rutherford Joins the Show
Q: What was the moment that signaled the team's transformation under Mike Sullivan?
Rutherford explains that Sullivan brought energy from Wilkes-Barre, established a system with the top players, and built chemistry and work ethic, which, by mid-season, showed the team had real long-run potential.
2FT126 - Jim Rutherford Joins the Show
Q: How would you describe your relationship with Marc-Andre Fleury and going into the Hall of Fame with him?
Rutherford shares a deep respect and friendship with Fleury, noting his character and leadership. He recounts supporting Fleury during tough times, helping him move to Vegas when needed, and emphasizes Fleury's loyalty and impact on the team and his son.
