Pingvinerna är i Sverige 11/13/25The Penguins are indeed In Sweden, even when said in English.Jeff Taylor and Jordan DeFigio talk through the Pittsburgh Penguins’ recent, inevitable “cooling-off,” following one of the hottest starts the NHL has seen this season. Most recently, the team has gone on a tepid 1-3-1 run, during which time they generally continued to play well. Results matter, though and over the past five games the Penguins have mostly failed at gaining two points on a given night.Sergei Murashov’s stellar NHL debut - a loss on home ice to the LA Kings - was as promising a preview of the young Russian goaltender’s NHL career as a serious hockey fan could have hoped for. Jordan and Jeff discuss the Pens’ recent back-to-back matchups against the Devils and Kings, with a special focus on Murashov’s performance.

Cody Hodgson and The RYR-1 Foundation 11/11/25Diagnosed in 2016 with RYR-1-related malignant hyperthermia, Cody Hodgson’s promising NHL playing career was cut short when the effects of his disease made it impossible for him to push his body to the extent necessary in pro hockey. However, what initially looked like a major setback gave way to a very different, equally powerful calling. Now an active ambassador for the Pittsburgh, PA-based RYR-1 Foundation, Hodgson is precisely the kind of figure in the hockey world that our production staff loves connecting with.With mobile recording gear in tow, our producer and co-host, Jeff Taylor recently joined the RYR-1 Foundation in Pittsburgh for their 10th anniversary conference. A handful of in-depth interviews were conducted that day, including with former NHL’er Cody Hodgson himself, as well as Toronto-based anesthesiologist Dr. Sheila Riazi, Hodgson’s diagnosing physician.
