  • 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.

Culture from the cradle
Q: Why not have Yevgeny Malkin play with Sidney Crosby, and how would that affect the lineup?
The host discusses potential line combinations, considering Gino on the wing and pairing him with Crosby, while also weighing other players like Chinakov and Raquel, and explains that the best fit is not necessarily the most obvious one but the one that maintains balance and pressure.
Grateful for Dan Muse
Q: Where could the Penguins relocate their AHL affiliate if Wilkes-Barre Scranton loses it?
The host lays out a cautious, analytical view of potential locations, weighing proximity, airport access, economics, and impact on local fan bases, while acknowledging no definite plans exist.
Rutger roars!
Q: Rutger McGroarty, Tristan Brose, Ville Koivonen, Owen Pickering, they're young, but they just don't explode. Do you agree with that?
The host agrees that while the prospects are young and have room to develop, their current impact is incremental rather than explosive, emphasizing how development and fit within the Penguins' system will determine their eventual breakout impact.
Chinakhov at risk?
Q: Today's J1Q comes from Bill. He says, DK, who out of the Corps will retire first?
Bill's question leads to a discussion of retirement timelines for Crosby, Malkin, and Letang, with Crosby seeming likely to play longest, Malkin aiming for another year, and Letang possibly reducing minutes or stepping back, all while considering long-term health and legacy.
Old beats young?
Q: What were the overall takeaways from the Wilkes-Barre Scranton playoff run for the Penguins' prospects and future in Pittsburgh?
The host notes that despite injuries and older players, the younger prospects gained valuable experience, showed potential, and earned a durable foundation for future NHL opportunities, while acknowledging some players didn't prove they were ready for top NHL minutes yet.
