“Gong With The Wind” PIT@CBJ 04/13/23

04/13/23 • 46 min

Listeners, thanks for being with us in the 2022-2023 Pittsburgh Penguins regular season. Things didn’t turn out the way we’d all hoped, but it’s been a wild ride - one we’re glad we took. If it weren’t for YOU - yes, we mean YOU - then we’d just be talking out into the void. And that, to say nothing of the Penguins’ season coming to an untimely close, is a pretttttty dark thought to think. OK, folks: Let’s tune in and support these Pens, one last time, and root them on to defeat the presumed champs of the Conor Bedard Lottery (CBJ-CBL). Sidney Crosby. Evgeni Malkin. Kris Letang. Jake Guentzel. Bryan Rust. Jason Zucker. Rickard Rakell. These players put on a truly entertaining show this year, did they not? Of course, there are other fish who require frying, and those stories will play themselves out as the horn - and hopefully not the blackpowder cannon at Nationwide Arena - sounds for the final time tonight.

Enjoy this game, it’s the last Penguins game until mid-October of 2023. We’ll be back with off-season episodes, starting next week, on an official schedule which we’ll soon announce. More than anything, THANK YOU for joining us each game-day, as you have all season. Just like you, we can’t wait for a clean slate, and more regular season Penguins Hockey.

“Your Reality Changes” CHI@PIT 04/11/23

The Pittsburgh Penguins’ path to the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs is pretty simple: Win tonight. Beat the lowly Chicago Blackhawks and go from there. Sure, there’s one more regular season game in addition to tonight’s tilt versus the ‘Hawks, but can it possibly do the Pens’ players any good, to be thinking about a different game - the one against Columbus on Thursday - as they prepare for tonight’s matchup? The mission today: Tonight. Win tonight. If the Penguins can do that, they’ll go to sleep in a WC spot, ready to pounce on the Jackets and secure a 17th consecutive playoff berth. There are 60 minutes of Penguins Hockey separating the Pens from said ticket-to-the-dance. Here’s hoping they play those 60 minutes in a manner they’d be proud of.

“DING DONG: Ron Hextall + Co. Fired” 04/14/23

The Penguins drop their season finale to Columbus, 2-3 in extra time. There IS good news, however, if one chooses to see it that way. Ron Hextall has been fired and is now the *former* General Manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Chris Pryor, former Assistant GM to Hextall, has also been relieved of his position with the Penguins. Brian Burke, former President of Hockey Ops, was let go, as well. Jeff and Jordan rap about these “can jobs,” plus they opine on the flavor of cake which Jordan may well get into baking this evening, her tribute to the momentous occasion of Hexy’s jettisoning from the GM chair in Pittsburgh.
