    I love this show. I love the content. I love the people. I just wish they would put the video version of this podcast on Apple Podcasts as well. Especially with the new features.

  • Need new hosts

    It’s nice to get Penguins news nearly everyday BUT these guys need to go. Hunter has been awful for as long as he’s been on here. The other guy, slightly better but not much. Stereotypical yinzers

  • If this show isn’t consistent then…

    They get a bad first game and no show? Then good second night?? No show ..It can’t be a good podcast if it’s not extremely up to date and after every game.

Penguins set for a weekend BACK-TO-BACK against CBJ and DAL!

Penguins set for a weekend BACK-TO-BACK against CBJ and DAL!
Q: If there was ever a get-right game, it's tonight in Columbus.

Ville Koivunen COMES UP CLUTCH in Penguins overtime winner!
Q: So, Hunter, let's begin with Saturday night's matchup against the Preds.
Hunter Hodies describes Saros's exceptional goaltending, Pittsburgh's territorial advantage and strong defensive effort, and Arturs Silovs's solid performance in the Penguins' overtime victory.
Ville Koivunen COMES UP CLUTCH in Penguins overtime winner!
Q: Do you think part of the reason Nashville was unable to get a victory on Saturday night is because they were kept up too late on Friday by all the sounds coming from your wedding?
Hunter Hodies jokes that Juuse Saros was locked in despite the wedding, and recalls seeing Saros and Ryan O'Reilly in the hotel lobby. He then praises Saros's performance in the game.
Penguins get BACK IN THE WIN COLUMN with a 4-0 victory over Florida!
Q: So is he tanking the team so he can start the rebuild or what? And how is that going to work when he still has Crosby, Malkin and LaTang?
Damp says the rebuild is already underway but is not a traditional teardown. He compares the approach to Washington's strategy of keeping franchise players while moving other assets and adding draft capital.
