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!).

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 Karl ..read more

The Pittsburgh Penguins have some important restricted free agents this summer and Hunter and Pat are here to give their thoughts on which ones to bring back. They start with PO Joseph after he had a great end to the season. Does that warrant a roster spot heading into next season? Where would he fit if he were to come back? They then analyze Emil Bemstrom's season and if he showed management enough to warrant coming back for another season. After that, they dive into other free agents, such as Jack St. Ivany (which should be a no-brainer) and Sam Poulin. Hunter and Pat then look at which play ..read more
