Locked On Penguins - Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Penguins

The Penguins will have a chance to grab four huge points this weekend when they face the Columbus Blue Jackets and Toronto Maple Leafs. Patrick Damp is flying solo today as Hunter Hodies enjoys a much-needed day off this holiday weekend. Patrick begins the show, previewing the Friday night showdown with the Blue Jackets, a team that is reeling, having lost three straight and four of their last five. The Penguins need to take advantage of a team that is struggling, especially in their division. Tristan Jarry returns to the net after a strong performance against Buffalo, and the big guns need to be the X-factor against Columbus. (0:00) Then, the Penguins return home on Saturday night for a rematch with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Much like Columbus, Toronto has been struggling as of late, and a solid 60-minute effort against the Leafs could be just what the doctor ordered for the Penguins before a hectic December schedule. The Penguins will have to play all three periods and shut down the Leafs' top talent, so can they do it? (12:13) Finally, it's another Fan Take Friday! Patrick answers questions about trades, playoff position, and Dan Muse's lineup decisions as of late.

The Penguins are back in the win column as they held on to get a big win over the Sabres on Thanksgiving Eve! Patrick and Hunter bring you a quick recap of the Penguins' 4-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres at PPG Paints Arena. They start with the good: Tristan Jarry was rock solid in his return from injury, Bryan Rust was able to respond to a potentially game-altering goal by the Sabres, and the Penguins shut the door when they needed to. (0:00) Then, it's time to get into some of the bad. The Penguins, once again, were unable to play a full 60 minutes, surrendered yet another third-period lead, and just haven't been getting enough contributions from the full lineup.

Tristan Broz has officially been recalled by the Pittsburgh Penguins, and head coach Dan Muse confirmed he will debut on Wednesday night! While exciting, Patrick and Hunter start the show discussing the goaltending situation and how Tristan Jarry is inching closer to a return, which means that Sergei Murashov is likely to be sent back down to the AHL in the coming days. They talk about how, while it would be nice to see Murashov continue to get NHL action, it's probably best for his development to get a starter's workload with the Baby Penguins. (0:00) Next, Hunter gives his impressions from practice at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex, and how we saw a shuffling of the forward lines, and what that could mean for the Penguins moving forward. (13:51) Finally, it's time to talk about the kids. They get into Broz's recall, what he has to do to stick with the big club, and his amazing comments not long after being recalled.

After back-to-back scratches in Anaheim, it appears 21-year-old defenseman Pavel Mintyukov could be on the market, so should the Penguins go for it? Hunter and Patrick begin the show discussing potential deals the Penguins could offer the Anaheim Ducks for 21-year-old, first-round pick Pavel Mintyukov, but will those potential deals be enough to pry him out of Orange County? (0:00) Next, with some extra time off, the Penguins are shifting their practice focus to things like 3-on-3 overtime and the shootout. While it may seem minuscule, with so much time on their hands, refining a part of their game they have struggled with in recent years is the right move. (12:14) Finally, comments from defenseman Ryan Graves about his role and expectations this year have many asking: Are the players throwing some shade at the former head coach?

Patrick and Hunter begin the show by breaking down the Penguins' roster moves on Tuesday, including calling up Sam Poulin, placing Ville Koviunen on injured reserve, and waiving Phillip Tomasino.

The Penguins' trip to Sweden did not get off to a good start, somehow getting a point, but it was an unacceptable effort. Patrick and Hunter begin the show recapping the Friday afternoon game against the Nashville Predators. They talk about the 2-1 overtime loss, and how the Penguins were lucky to even get a point, as the team did not look ready to play, and paid for it.

(0:00) The good news, however, is the Penguins will get a second crack at the Predators on Sunday. They discuss what the Penguins need to do to get themselves back on track and respond to Friday's awful loss. (12:45) Finally, forward David Kampf has been released by the Toronto Maple Leafs, and being that he's a Kyle Dubas guy, should the Penguins take a flier on the bottom-six forward?

As the Penguins operate with an eye toward the future, the emergence of Ben Kindel, Sergei Murashov, and Harrison Brunicke, the future might be here sooner than expected. Patrick and Hunter are joined once again by a good friend of the show, Kelsey Surmacz of The Hockey News, to discuss the future of the Pittsburgh Penguins. While the team is transitioning to the next era of hockey, the sudden emergence of Ben Kindel, Sergei Murashov, and, to an extent, Harrison Brunicke, that next era might be here sooner rather than later. They begin with what's going on with Brunicke, should he stay, can he go down to Wilkes-Barre, and what is best for the next phase of his development. (0:00) Then, Sergei Murashov made his NHL debut this past week. What exactly is his ceiling? Will he remain in Pittsburgh or head back to the AHL? They give their takes on that, as well as how much of a surprise Kindel has been this early in his career. (15:42) Finally, just because Kelsey is here, doesn't mean we're skipping Warrior Helmet Wednesday! They give their picks for MVP of the week!

Hunter and Patrick begin the show recapping what was a great effort by the Penguins against the Devils in Newark, only to be negated by another poor effort in the shootout.

The Pittsburgh Penguins will welcome the Washington Capitals to Pittsburgh for the first of three meetings this season on Thursday. Hunter and Patrick begin the show by previewing the matchup and what the Penguins can do to get back in the win column. They also go over some of the lineup notes for this game to discuss why so many people need to calm down about Sergei Murashov not starting. Despite the hype, not throwing Murashov right into the fire is probably the best move for his long-term development. Finally, they take a look around the NHL at some of the more underrated storylines from the first month of the season!Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!RugietVisit https://rugiet.com/LOCKEDONNHL to get 15% off your first order.GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHL for $20 off your first purchase.

(0:00) Then, they get some more answers as to what the lineup will look like moving forward, as Hunter gives us his notes from practice.

The Penguins played a perfect 40 minutes, then a disastrous 20 minutes, on Monday night in Toronto. Hunter and Patrick begin the show by reacting to the Penguins completely blowing a 3-0 lead to the Maple Leafs in a matter of just about 10 minutes (1:20). They get into whether or not this was a one-off or the start of a bad trend, who is to blame, and what this means moving forward (6:26). However, it wasn’t all negative as rookie Ben Kindel continued his ascent by scoring two goals and commanding the best line on the Penguins (12:00). Lastly, it’s decision time for Harrison Brunicke. Should the Penguins keep him up after nine games, or should he be sent back to juniors? (25:10).Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!RugietVisit https://rugiet.com/LOCKEDONNHL to get 15% off your first order.GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHL for $20 off your first purchase.

The Penguins had their first "bad luck" game of the season, falling to the Winnipeg Jets 5-2 over the weekend. Patrick and Hunter begin the show discussing the Penguins' loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday, and while the score made it look bad, it was more of a bad luck loss where nothing seemed to go right for the Penguins. They also talk about the play of Harrison Brunicke, who while still very promising, has one glaring weakness that could spell the end of his nine-game tryout (0:00). Then, they get you ready for the final game of this Penguins' road trip, which will conclude against the Toronto Maple Leafs, a team that while still talented, has struggled out of the gate. They get into what the Penguins need to do against the Leafs to get back into the win column. (12:38) Finally, the Penguins' challenging two weeks will conclude soon, but not before they face the likes of the Washington Capitals, New Jersey Devils, and Los Angeles Kings. For the Penguins, it's a week to prove that they may be better than many thought, and to make a statement.
