  • 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.

Is this Kyle Dubas’ wish?
Q: DK isn't the elephant in the room that player development has been a massive failure. Billy Coivin in trade has been a bust. What's your take on the development pipeline?
The development pipeline has had mixed results, with some players like Kindle succeeding, but overall there are concerns about depth and consistency across the left side of the defense, and about how much the front office and development staff are contributing to long-term success as opposed to short-term fixes.
Normalcy on the horizon?
Q: What is Kyle Dubas and or Dan Muse not seeing in Elmer Soderblom, and is he the next trade candidate?
The host suggests that Soderblom may not fit the team's current system, echoing speculation that he could be traded, while acknowledging there are reasons they may still value him, and contrasts this with their handling of Hollander.
What's that laugher mean?
Q: Today's J1Q comes from Bob, who says, 'the thing that stood out to me about the game in Philadelphia was the movement in the offensive zone.'
The host confirms that the team showed notable offensive movement and connects it to individual and collective execution, noting how this movement could translate into sustained success as the season progresses, while warning not to overstate early results.
Do right by Ben Kindel
Q: What could improve Kindel's situation according to the host?
Placing Kindel with a line of other skilled players to maximize his offensive and defensive contributions, and potentially reshuffling the left side defense to create better opportunities and balance.
Best long-term youngsters?
Q: Jerry says DK Thomas Galvis sounds talented but 168 pounds, he's going to be dead in a month. What are your thoughts on his frame and projection?
Galvis is small but shows notable resilience and tangible on-ice talent; while weight is a factor, his speed and competing mindset, plus the coaching and development around him, could allow him to fill out and contribute if he continues to grow and stay healthy. We should monitor his progression through the season and watch how he handles higher-level competition.
