  • Great way to stay up to date with the Pens

    As someone who doesn’t have cable or basically any way to watch the Pens, DK’s daily shot has been a great way for me to stay up to date with the Pens. The length of the episodes is really convenient and love Dejan’s takes. Keep up the good work!

  • My go to for the Pens

    As someone formerly of Pittsburgh, but now living somewhere in the midst of Flyers-Rangers-Devils country, this has become my daily go to for keeping track of the Pens. I’ve looked for and tried some other pods, but this is by far the best dedicated one to the Pens.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Just one spot?
Q: Today's J1Q comes from Dean Yelitz, who says, DK, after listening to your recent episode about Dylan Koyvanen, my question is, where was the Penguins' development staff last summer?
The host argues the development staff should have been monitoring Koyvanen and that the decision not to have him in the opening night roster reflected a broader issue with development oversight and accountability.
If Rust's traded ...
Q: Today's J1Q comes from Eddie who says, DK, can you please share what were the specific skills that Ben Kendall showed last summer and into training camp that convinced management that he was ready to play every day at the NHL level as an 18 year old rookie.
The host explains Kendall showed strong on-ice awareness, vision, and a sharp shot during development camp, but notes binding factors like bulk, NHL-level conditioning, and readiness for the NHL were not yet in place; the overall takeaway is that Kendall needed more physical development and time to adapt to top-tier competition, which he then pursued by training intensely to be ready for the following season.
What IS McGroarty?
Q: Is Kyle Dubas counting on Caleb Jones for left defense this year?
The host implies uncertainty and suggests the team may not rely on Jones for long-term stability, leaning toward other defensemen being more suitable. The answer is framed as skepticism rather than a firm yes.
Musings on Muse
Q: What is the likelihood of finding a top-pairing, left-handed defenseman for the Penguins, given the current rosters around the league?
The host suggests that while it's difficult to identify a definitive top-left defender on any single roster, the team should remain open to moves and consider players who fit a long-term defensive pairing over quick fixes, recognizing that market dynamics and conversations between teams can change availability.
What happened?
Q: Would you like to see the Penguins make a move for the Hurricanes left-handed defenseman Alexander Nekishian?
Yes, I'd consider adding Nekishian if it fits the Penguins' cap space and roster needs, and if taking on the contract doesn't force sacrificing core players or too much future flexibility. It's about balancing immediate value with long-term payroll health.
