The Penguins returned to practice this week as the 4 Nations Face-Off comes to a close and they welcomed back two of their biggest contributors. Patrick and Hunter talk about the boost the team could get out of the break with the returns of Evgeni Malkin and Bryan Rust as well as the potential debut of defenseman Vladislav Kolyachonok. Then, it’s time to wax poetic about captain Sidney Crosby. A new feature in The Athletic spoke with several of Crosby’s Team Canada teammates both from the present and the past about what a player and a leader he has been. Finally, it’s Wednesday and that means it’s time for Patrick and Hunter to hand out their MVP of the week as part of Warrior Helmet Wednesday.

I'm getting tired of seeing Mike Sullivan chewing gum on the bench.
Stock up on the gum, kid. Because Fenway doesn’t fire coaches under contract.
It would be nice if bemstrom can make a little push at the nhl level. I like his shot and speed at times.
All of us here in Pittsburgh should be fortunate Sidney Crosby ended up with the Penguins. I never took one day or game of his career for granted at all none, and I hope no one else did either.
I like your pics for warrior helmet, Jake has been really good for Team USA, but you could also even give shoutouts to Mike Sullivan. I think he's done a really good job coaching this team and making his in game adjustments. The first game against Finland, he made a really nice adjustment putting both Tkachuk brothers with Jack Eichel, as that line absolutely cooked. You could also give shoutouts to Bill Guerin (former Penguin player and assistant GM) and his staff along with Mike Sullivan and his staff for the team they put together for this four nations faceoff. They did a really nice job with the team.
I expect Sidney Crosby to make an impact in some way tomorrow night. I absolutely love Sid, but can't root against Team USA tomorrow night.
Crosby has been a pleasure to watch his entire career. I saw the unfortunate news of Mike lange's passing and would like to rip Mike. You will be missed. He was a fabulous play by play announcer.
