Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas spoke this weekend about when he wants to have a new coach in place. Hunter and Patrick discuss his comments on his now June 1 deadline for hiring a new coach, who is in the running, and how the process has gone so far. Is there a favorite for the gig? Then, they review the seasons of Matt Nieto and Noel Acciari and discuss their future with the Penguins before ending the show with their picks for the Eastern and Western Conference Finals.

I'd prefer Kirk Muller to the field, prefer being an intentional lottery team until 2028, and prefer to create a new identity for the team.
The new delusional leafs fan theory is that Dubas paid Tavares way too much and that set a precedent that they the leafs have to overpay their core and that’s why Marner and Nylander and Matthews are all overpaid and it’s ruined the team. So yes they still think it’s Dubas’ fault.
I hear ya both on Edmonton/Florida rematch. I do think Florida will go but I think Dallas will take Edmonton in 7. Again very very close series but I give the nod to Big D. Thanks guys and I always enjoy the show!!
Mitch Love was my choice the minute Mike Sullivan was shown the door and my opinion hasn't changed. Checks all the boxes Dubas looking for + I think he's a very smart hockey guy. BTW, how could people be saying this is rushed – when teams hire a coach before interviewing anyone? (i.e. Rags)
Mitch got the Love!!
are you saying pete debore will not be 10-0 in game 7 ???/
I was always against those signings back in KDs 1st year. I thought the core should have been surrounded by younger, energetic players that make them harder to play against. Not responsible, vet players. It didnt surprise me what transpired up until now, because to me. It was plain as day.
