The NHL and IIHF announced the first six players for the countries headed to the 2026 Winter Olympics, and Sidney Crosby will once again represent Team Canada. Hunter and Patrick begin the Tuesday edition of Locked On Penguins, talking about how it’s no surprise that Crosby was one of the first six players named and how this might be his final Olympic Games as a player. Then, they look at the rest of the first six rosters and how this can be one of the best Olympic hockey tournaments of all time. Finally, they preview Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final and react to the Penguins re-signing Joona Koppanen to a one-year deal.

If he is still playing in 2030 no way in hell will they not give him the C regardless of what his on ice role is. Don't think mcdavid would even accept it if sid was on the team.
9:00 Sid reminds me of what Roy Williams said about Michael Jordan in The Last Dance: “[he] was the only guy who could ever turn it on and off…and he never frickin’ turned it off.”
While Rust has an outside shot of being 22nd skater because it’s Sully and Guerin, I can see a world where he isn’t. The US has so much talent that it’s gonna be tough to argue for Rust. Eichel, Matthews, Hughes, Tuch, Guentzel, Connor, M. Tkachuk, B. Tkachuk, Robertson, Keller, Larkin, Thompson, DeBrincat, Boeser, Cooley, Beniers, Miller, Caufield, Knies. That’s 19 forwards alone. And they will probably take 8-9 defenseman. So you’re looking at 13-14 forwards tops. Do you think Rust is a top 14 forward out of those names? I don’t think so. But I’m excited for team USA and to see the team they put together. I’d assume the 3 goalies will be Helly, Oettinger, and Swayman. Defense should be Q. Hughes, Fox, McAvoy, Hutson, Sanderson, Werenski, Slavin, Faber and L. Hughes.
I'm down with koop!!
Sid is the GOAT
Don’t forget Clayton Keller for Team USA. Probably the top player that wasn’t on the 4 Nations roster
Hunter, no need to apologize man. You both give us so so much, and trust me I really appreciate your podcast! You make a very odd mistake…..so what!? God bless, Victor from Canada 🇨🇦
