The Pittsburgh Penguins went 1-1 against the Rangers and Flyers this weekend despite missing some top players and Hunter and Patrick take a look back at how they were able to do it. They start with the win over the Rangers and discuss how gutsy of a performance that was. They dive into how they pushed the Rangers around for 40 minutes and while they hardly had the puck in the third period, they still defended their butts off. They analyze the big goals from that game, especially from Rickard Rakell, before diving into Saturday’s loss against the Flyers. They touch on how the Penguins dominated that game but didn’t get the result they wanted before ending the show with some thoughts and analysis on the Penguins adding defenseman Vladislav Kolyachonok off waivers.

I'm getting tired of seeing Mike Sullivan chewing gum on the bench.
You like Varner to the pens??
After 43 missed that shot, i said aloud, you know what happens when you have multiple golden chances and dont score and the other team has no shots, down 2-1 becomes down 3-1… I left the room, came back to the TV and it was 3-1! Never fails… Hockey…😂😂😂
I partly wouldn't mind seeing them keep the pick. But i trust the KD. He gets a lot of criticism…not all deserved
Would Rust+Rakell+Graves+draft pick(s) = Zegras+Solberg work out?
I REALLY don't want Racks to leave!! 🫣
Honestly I have no idea who Kolyachonok is, but looking at numbers it seems like he already might be their best LHD option
Gonna miss pens hockey 🐧 🏒 for next 2 weeks, let’s go pens 🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧
I’m 17 days away from living my dream to go visit Pittsburgh and watch some home ice hockey I’m hoping for some good hockey it’s all I’m asking for lol I also get to watch a former team mate back in peewee year of hockey Justin Brazeau on Boston
Hoping we can flip that NYR 1st rd pick for Mason McTavish 🫣
Vladislav Kolyachonok was a 2nd round pick. I assume he'll fill in for Grzelcyk when Grzelcyk is traded at the deadline. We'll see.
Guys, I loved the effort this team showed over the weekend. They showed me something. They aren’t a cup contender or playoff team, but they still have pride and a lot of heart.
Like you said, they could’ve easily rolled over and packed it in this past weekend, given what they were missing, but they didn’t. They played their asses off in New York and Philadelphia.
For the last half of the season, that’s what I wanna see. I want to see that fiery competitiveness from this team for the rest of the season. If anything, it shows me they still have pride and they haven’t quit on themselves or their head coach. Also, the way they were semi trapping both the Rangers and flyers I want to see more of that. That was some of the best defensive hockey I’ve seen this team play in probably a few seasons.
So proud of pens effort in both games. 2 bad bounces resulted in 2 goals for philly. I understood what blomqvist was trying to do and unfortunately it bounced off the flyers player right into the net. Even the flyers 3rd goal went off acciari stick, changed direction and in. I didn't think blomqvist was horrible. Missing crosby's 58 pts, rust's 20 goals and geno, just didnt have the firepower to get it done. Dont know much about vladislav. Hoping he can become a decent player
