The Pittsburgh Penguins got a massive point against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night and Hunter and Pat are here to discuss it. They analyze how the Penguins played a very fine game against the Leafs and how they may have deserved a better fate. They look at the way they started and how the Malkin line was on fire throughout this game. They then dive into Mike Sullivan’s error in overtime with starting Lars Eller over Evgeni Malkin. They also discuss the power play and how it got the looks, but not the result before diving into Erik Karlsson’s continued strong play. Finally, they wrap the show with a discussion about who to root for in tonight’s games.

I’d rather Detroit win because then we get a better chance at metro 3 which is a bit of a better spot
Get rid of 3 on 3 ot and shootouts
It's sad that we're celebrating going 0-5 but they didn't give up a SHG 😂
The OT call by sully was crazy 🫣! Why not put out the the best 3 players on the ice to start . I would put out letang karlson and Bryan rust!? If Sid was out then go with Rust or malkin!
Hey guys, who do you feel is the Pens biggest threat in the Metro?? Great job as always 👏 👍🏻.
92 might be the memory to spark it. 🐐
Doc deserved a goal the way hes been playi g and going to the net. Bunting had set an example for the rest of the team for net front success. Its awesome. Something to build on even if we dont make the playoffs.
If you are going to go conservative in ot, then use the dragon on defense, not karls and kill time until skate is reafy to go or then throw malkin and bunting when we have possession.
Just scoreboard watching the Caps vs Red Wings. And NYI vs Rangers. And the Flyers vs Habs. Need a clean win by the Rangers and Habs. Don't want a 3 point game in OT/SO for the Caps vs Red Wings. Pens will need a clean win in their next game vs the Red Wings. Pens will need a clean win vs NYI in their last game. The Pens now have playoff intensity led by 87, Bunting-Geno-Rackell and EK65 (+Ned). Let's hope they keep it up and it translates into wins.
Love Hunter’s passion. The Rank rant was great! (You’re correct.)
I want the red wings to be in reg then we beat the Red Wings on Thursday
I'm a sicko like you and watch both hahahahaha!
Before I even watch. I’m giving that L to Sullivan. WHY THE HECK do you put Eller, DOC, and Karlsson out in OT to start it?! DOC I’m fine with. I would have at least had Sid with DOC and letang. Obvious choice would have been Rust and Sid. That was beyond ridiculous. But, big getting that 1 point at least in a game we looked dead in the water in for the last 30 mins. We NEED to beat the red wings.
Keep in mind the Pens are 0-5 in OT this season when Crosby is on the ice. The OT they played in Colorado they started with Crosby-Rust-Letang … and Drouin scored before the Pens ever had a single possession. And the last time they actually won in OT it was Eller-Smith-Karlsson on the ice. We can play the "Sullivan should've played …" game all we want, but there are no good options for 3-on-3 on this current roster.
Oh boy, the anxiety grows as the days go on. It’s great to have exciting meaningful hockey, but I honestly would rather have the playoff spot locked up already. Let’s see how things pan out in the next few weeks for the penguins and the opponents.
Bunting has been the winger Geno has needed for a few years now. If the Penguins can somehow get Jake Guentzel back in the offseason, Kyle Dubas will look like a genius for letting Carolina borrow him for a cup run in exchange. Plus, now we're getting to see DOC's potential, and it's been really fun to see.
Correct me if I’m wrong but shouldn’t we all be heavy rooting for the red wings? If wings win in regulation we are 2 points back from them and still play them and we would own the tiebreaker so we would pass them with a reg win on Thursday even if they win tonight. Also Detroit only has 1 way in as the caps have 2 we don’t want as much competition for that metro spot. Unless my math is off it seems like if Philly isles and caps lose later in reg we control our fate
After watching, I have to agree that even with Sid having skate issues to start OT, why the hell do you still have eller and doc out there to start it?! You have EVGENI FREAKING MALKIN, Geno Machino, I AM SCORE, who is on a tear, and Michael Bunting playing great, but you decide on freaking eller and doc?!? Has to be one of the worst coaching decisions I’ve seen from Sullivan in a very long time tbh. Mind boggling. ALSO.. Auston’s goal was weak as hell. Easy save. And the OT winner, another weak goal between the legs! Stick a freaking poke check out for once! He’s right in front and you just sit on your knees in the net and let him stick handle right in front of you and open your legs for an easy goal. These are the kind of saves we absolutely need. I understand he made some 10 bell saves earlier; but these two would have been routine saves. Just so frustrating. I hope we can put together 4 amazing games down the stretch here and get into the playoffs and see what can happen.
One last thing, man our power play was looking great most of the time this game. Surprised we didn’t get a pp goal honestly. We were actually moving the puck so well for once. I love the set up with the bumper guy in the middle.
