Penguins Head Coach Mike Sullivan tapped to lead Team USA

Happy Friday! Hunter and Pat are back for another episode of the show and this time they start with the UFA goaltender market and if there are a couple of Alex Nedeljkovic type options out there in case Joel Blomqvist isn't ready. They discuss two options that are set to hit the market that probably won't be that expensive if that's the road they choose before diving into a player that's in the trade rumors yet again: Jakob Chychrun. After having interest in him last yar, should the Penguins re-engage those talks, albeit with a different management group? They dive into how dangerous the Penguins top four would look like if they could swing a deal and also detail how this could be a "hockey trade" not a "futures trade. Finally, they discuss where it has all gone wrong for the Oilers as they face a sweep at the hands of the Panthers.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

According to certain insiders, Patrik Laine wants a change of scenery, so could he be a fit with the Pittsburgh Penguins? Patrick and Hunter discuss that, what a trade would look like, and if the Blue Jackets would be willing to send a player like Laine to a division rival. Next, they have some fun and put the 1991, 1992, 2009, 2016, and 2017 champions up against one another to determine who is the champion of all champions. Finally, it's game three of the Stanley Cup Final tonight, the boys give their thoughts on how the Panthers can take a chokehold on the series or how Edmonton can claw back. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

You've got even more questions, Hunter and Patrick have even more answers! They answer the rest of your mailbag questions, about everything from possible UFA targets, trade ideas, and even what player we'd love to have on the Penguins from a rival team. They also get a question about a potential meetup for Locked On Penguins listeners and maybe even doing a live show at some point. After that, they reminisce about June 12th - a day in Penguins history that saw them win two of their five Stanley Cup Championships. They give some great stories on what they were doing during the game and the joy they felt when the final whistle blew. All that, plus much more is on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

We've got some news! The Pittsburgh Penguins, according to a report from Arthur Staple, are hiring David Quinn to replace Todd Reirden on Mike Sullivan's staff. Hunter and Patrick discuss what this hiring means, why they have reportedly landed on Quinn as a replacement, and if he can help the power play. They also discuss how Quinn can help Erik Karlsson after Karlsson had the best season of his career under him during the 2022-23 season. They look at if he can unleash Karlsson a bit more on the power play and also whether he can help some of the younger players. Finally, the two discuss Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final and how the Florida Panthers smothered the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night. They also look at how Evan Rodrigues continues to play his tail off for the Panthers after a two-goal performance and how the Penguins continue to look foolish for letting him go. All of that, plus much more, is on this episode of Locked On Penguins.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

During the NHL Combine, Penguins President of Hockey Operations Kyle Dubas spoke about what he plans to do this summer. Patrick and Hunter discuss what Dubas said, how the plan could work, and what fans could expect to see this summer as the efforts to reshape this roster get underway. As part of that plan, they get into how trades might look, who they could target, and more. Finally, they check in on the Stanley Cup Final where the Florida Panthers were able to steal the first game from the Edmonton Oilers.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

They try to answer what Kyle Dubas and Co. will do in net and whether Taylor Gauthier will start the season in WBS. They also try to predict if Joel Blomqvist is ready before diving into some prospect talk. They answer which prospects could be ready for the season, and also discuss the 2024 NHL Draft. Hunter teases a player that's going to be on his Penguins-specific draft board and how he could be available in the second round. They also discuss what the biggest needs should be for Kyle Dubas this offseason before answering some fun questions to end the show, including our favorite Penguins memories, what some of our other favorite sports are, and so much more.

We've still got about a month to go until free agency, but there are some gems the Penguins could look to sign this summer. Patrick and Hunter look at a couple of options, including a former third-overall pick. Then, with the news that a new, still unnamed Amazon documentary will follow several NHL stars this fall, who would they pick from the Penguins to be highlighted in such a documentary? Finally, the show wraps up with some sort-of news regarding the Penguins goaltending situation this summer.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

It was a rather unimpressive Penguins' tenure for Emil Bemstrom, and on this episode, Hunter and Patrick discuss how he performed, whether they should bring him back, and what comes next. He's the final player in the season in review series (already!) and they look at what he provided the team and what he lacked during his 24-game tenure. They also applaud Dubas for at least trying something new with a younger player before the deadline. After that, they bring back "what they'd fix about the NHL" and today, it's about ESPN and TNT! They discuss how ESPN and TNT have done so far and whether the former should replace its top play-by-play announcer.  Pat also brings up a new idea for airing games during the season before Hunter gives a small idea for TNT, even though the network has been better than ESPN. Finally, we have to discuss it...11 years ago today, the Penguins suffered one of their most painful playoff losses of the Crosby era.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

While we still wait for the Stanley Cup Final, the Penguins had some news on Tuesday regarding the status of goaltender Tristan Jarry and whether or not he'll remain with the club into next season. Patrick and Hunter discuss that, what a Jarry trade could look like, as well as some other updates regarding the Penguins' broadcast teams. Next, three CHL standouts were signed to AHL-level deals and they'll join Wilkes-Barre/Scranton next season. What does that mean for organizational depth and what is their ceiling? Finally, forget analysis and all that - the boys tell you who they are rooting for in the Stanley Cup Final.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Happy June! We're getting closer to moves being made and that's where Hunter and Patrick start Monday's show. They discuss how the offseason can finally get underway for most teams and what Kyle Dubas's first order of business should be. Hunter dives into why it should be a move for a third line center since he sees that as their biggest need for next season. Pat goes in a little bit of a different direction as he thinks Dubas will trade a player off the current team for the first move in June. They then dive into how active of an offseason this will probably be around the league with the cap going up before moving on for more Brayden Yager content. They analyze how his season came to an end over the weekend and how he took a massive step in his development during the season. Finally, they preview the Stanley Cup Final and give their picks for the big series.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.
