  • 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.
