The Penguins got their first shutout of the 2024-25 campaign against a struggling Nashville Predators squad and looked pretty good in the process. Patrick and Hunter break down the Penguins’ Saturday night victory over the Predators and how, once again, this team continues to be consistently inconsistent. Then, they dive deeper into Friday’s late-night trade that sent Marcus Pettersson and Drew O’Connor to the Vancouver Canucks. They discuss what the trade means for the Penguins’ future plans, how the new players fit in, and what could come next. Finally, with three games to go before the 4 Nations Face-Off break, the Penguins have a big test in front of them with games against New Jersey, the Rangers, and Philadelphia. They get you set for those games.

I'm getting tired of seeing Mike Sullivan chewing gum on the bench.
There is absolutely no way the Predators had 14 High Danger Chances. I looked that up too and was stunned. This 2-0 felt different because there was never a time where the lead felt like it was in jeopardy. Honestly when the Penguins went up 2-0, I was relaxed because Nashville was doing zero all night long. Yes they aren't good, but neither were the Ducks, Kraken, or Sharks and look what happened there.
Also, I really liked that second line with Cody Glass, Michael Bunting, and Danton Heinen I thought gelled pretty well together, despite not getting any practice time and they generated a couple of good scoring chances. Also my hot take, Danton Heinen is going to get a goal before the Penguins finish up Saturday and go on their two week break, he did have a couple of good looks on Saturday, he's going to get one in these next three games.
I'm skeptical, but what if graves and vinny create a solid third pair. They both have size. Vinny has the physicality and graves was miscast as a stay at home defenser and is probably better at moving the puck. Stranger things have happened and it would be great for both of them to play well and increase their values for the future. Again let's see what happens hahhahah
Raks just got his chance in the 4 nations face off. And he is replacing William Karlsson
Tomasino"s healthy scratches are due to his game on the defensive side of the puck and what he's been asked to do there
So what does this mean for the next game given how consistently inconsistent the pens are?! 🐧😂
On a plus note, it makes worth watching pens games just to track Crosby milestones 🫶
Let’s go pens 🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧
there gonna flipt hem both
SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT TEAM SWEDEN AND Rickard Rakell.
Seriously shut up about Rust and the Olympics and 4 Nations.
No Nils Hoglander, Dakota Joshua, Keifer Sherwood, or prospects Elias Pettersson dman or Tom Willander.
You didn't mention Hoglander, Joshua, or Sherwood. Competent role players and 3rd and 4th liners not welcome. Live Nieto.
Danton Heinen has numbers similar to Nils Hoglander's best season.
Jim Rutherford did this same type of deal for Jordan Staal when he was Canes GM.
