Penguins lose to Anaheim, showing the same inconsistency

We've got one preseason game left against the Sabres, and it's the final shot for many of the Penguins' young players to make their mark! Hunter and Patrick begin the show by breaking down the Penguins' preseason finale roster, which will feature plenty of the young players who have had a strong camp. Will they make the team or is this just one last look for the management and coaching staff? (0:00) Then, the Penguins got some good news on Friday as Kevin Hayes and Rutger McGroarty were back on the ice in limited capacities. They also look at how all six players placed on waivers on Thursday cleared and will be sent back to the AHL (12:37). Finally, it's a Friday, and that means it's Fan Take Friday, they react to some hot takes about the upcoming season, the prospects, and so much more!

Hunter and Patrick begin the show discussing another preseason victory for the Penguins, and how it was powered by the prospects and young players.

Patrick and Hunter begin the show looking at the roster for tonight's preseason matchup against the Buffalo Sabres, and how the opening night roster is coming down to the wire with only a few spots remaining, and several prospects still making the case to stay in the NHL. (0:00) Then, it's time once again to talk about the goalies. While Joel Blomqvist's injury has sort of solidified who is going to play where, does Sergei Murashov deserve more of a shot to play in the big league, or does he need more development time in the AHL?

Hunter and Patrick begin the show talking about the rise of Benjamin Kindel, who was outstanding in Detroit on Monday. The question now is, what to do with him? While he may not be ready for full-time NHL action, does he deserve a nine-game tryout? (3:20).

The Penguins lost their second preseason game, but that doesn't mean it was all negative. Hunter and Patrick begin the show discussing the play of 2025 first-round pick Ben Kindel (1:30), and how another strong outing could continue his time at training camp with the big club. They also break down the play of newly-acquired goaltender Arturs Silovs (7:17), who had an up-and-down game. Along with Kindel, a couple of other prospects had worthwhile performances on Wednesday night. Finally, the Penguins have only made two cuts so far (22:00), and the reason could be so that the young players can see the kind of culture Marc-Andre Fleury, Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang have built in Pittsburgh.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monarch MoneyTake control of your finances with Monarch Money.
