When the Pittsburgh Penguins signed Lars Eller, Hunter and Patrick didn't have high expectations but he certainly had a very solid season as their third-line center. They do his season in review and look at what he can do next year. Does he still need some help on his line? Can fans expect him to score 15 goals again? After that, the guys talk about some more UFA candidates they would like to see the Penguins take a run at in order to bolster the team's depth, especially up front. Who are some of those forwards? Are any of them "dream signings?" Finally, the two discuss how the Penguins have a slim chance of moving up in the NHL Draft since the lottery is tonight before the Warrior Helmet makes a surprise appearance on Tuesday for the MVP of the first round of the playoffs.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

It's time for another season review and this time, Hunter and Pat discuss Bryan Rust. They look back at his excellent season and break down what went right for him. They also look at the numbers and how he contributed most of his work at 5-on-5 before pondering if he deserves an "A" on his sweater every night. They then look at if he can continue this heading into next year even though he'll be a bit older. After that, they look at some bounce-back candidates for next season, including Rickard Rakell and maybe even Noel Acciari. Finally, they discuss their second-round playoff picks and look at how Wheeling is doing in the Kelly Cup Playoffs. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

The Pittsburgh Penguins made a big announcement on Friday, announcing the firing of Todd Reirden. Hunter and Pat start the show by breaking down the firing and how the Penguins had no choice but to do this. They analyze how badly the power play was (yet again) and discuss how this could make some of the core a bit uncomfortable, (which is good!). After that, they discuss how this should put the "rift" rumors between Sullivan and Dubas to bed. They then look at who could replace Reirden on the bench, including Jay Woodcroft. Hunter details what he was great at during his time in Edmonton and how he coached up a really good power play before he got let go. Pat then gives another option for who the Penguins could bring in before they end the show with some playoff talk.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

Is there a chance that the Pittsburgh Penguins find a trade partner for Tristan Jarry out west? After seeing the Los Angeles Kings lose to the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday night, Hunter and Patrick believe that the Kings could be a destination to send Jarry this offseason. They look at how it makes sense for the Kings because of their goaltending situation and how Rob Blake hasn't shied away from making big moves to help the team. They also look at how that move would help the Penguins moving forward before looking back on a polarizing season for the team's big offseason acquisition, Erik Karlsson. They discuss how he had a season of highs and lows and give their take on whether he'll be better next year. finally, they tackle the biggest question surrounding the organization...is it time for a rebuild?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

The rumors just won't stop when it comes to Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan going to the New Jersey Devils, so Hunter and Patrick address those rumors. Then, they look back on what was an up-and-down year for defenseman Kris Letang. Finally, could free agency be the way they find Letang a new full-time partner?

The Pittsburgh Penguins made a couple of signings on Monday and that's where Hunter and Pat start Tuesday's show. They dive into Sam Poulin and how this is probably his last chance to make an impact at the NHL level. They then discuss the signing of Filip Larsson and what role he could have with the organization. Is he expected to start in WBS? What does this mean for Joel Blomqvist? After that, they analyze Sidney Crosby's season in review and what could be next for him. Should everyone expect him to be a PPG player again next year? Is there anything for him to work on this offseason?

The Pittsburgh Penguins made some changes to their AHL team on Sunday after Wilkes-Barre lost in the opening round of the AHL Playoffs and Hunter and Pat are here to discuss it. They start with how WBS had a very disappointing end to the season and how it shouldn't be a surprise that Jason Spezza and Kyle Dubas made some changes since WBS should've won this series. Hunter and Pat look at what type of coach Spezza and Dubas will look for down in WBS before looking at what this means for Mike Sullivan heading into next season. After that, they discuss Wheeling advancing to Round 2 of the ECHL Playoffs before ending the show with some thoughts about the Stanley Cup Playoffs.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.
