Was this the nail in the coffin for the Penguins after another embarrassing loss?

The Pittsburgh Penguins are back in action on Friday night against the Florida Panthers and it's an opportunity to get two massive points. Hunter and Pat start the show by recapping the small AHL trade that Kyle Dubas made on Thursday and what it means for the team before previewing Friday night's game against the Panthers. They look at how they can get these two points and slow down Florida's top players since they've been red hot this year. After that, they preview Saturday night's game against the Montreal Canadiens and slam the NHL's Department of Player Safety for being too soft on Brendan Gallagher after his dirty hit on Thursday night. They discuss why this is a problem that's not going away anytime soon before giving the keys to beating the Canadiens. Finally, they analyze whether this is the biggest weekend of the season and the opportunity this team has with the games in hand.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

The Pittsburgh Penguins continue to be off but the Locked On Penguins podcast is not. To start the show, Hunter and Pat dive into Jesse Puljujarvi's recent play in Wilkes-Barre and whether he will get a contract with the big club. They wonder if he deserves a chance to show what he can do in the NHL again while Hunter argues that he'd rather see him on Geno's line than Colin White. They then look at Sam Poulin's game as of late and whether he deserves a call-up. Who would he replace? They also discuss that before looking ahead to the offseason and what changes should be coming. Both Hunter and Pat give their analysis on what Dubas could do over the summer to turn this team around since they're not going to rebuild for as long as Sidney Crosby continues to be on the team. After that, they look at the future of PO Joseph and what his future with the Penguins is.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

The Pittsburgh Penguins don't play on Wednesday but there's still plenty to discuss regarding this team. Hunter and Pat first start with some practice notes and how the Penguins appeared to not change much for this session. They analyze whether that's a good thing or a bad thing as their next game is still a couple of days away. What would they have done if they were Mike Sullivan? After that, they look at players who need to step up if this team wants to find its winning ways again and no, they aren't just players in the bottom six. Hunter even has someone who isn't a player in this category! Finally, they end the show with Warrior Helmet Wednesday and the choice should be fairly obvious.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.
