The Penguins will face their first true test of the season when they head to Florida to take on the defending champion Panthers. Patrick and Hunter begin the show by taking a look at the defending champion Panthers, who the Penguins will take on in Sunrise tonight. They run down the roster, and despite a slower start, the champions are still a very formidable foe. (0:00) Then, they turn their attention back to the Penguins, who they will need to lean on to get another unexpected victory, what the coaching staff will need to be ready for, and who could draw back into the lineup to make a statement? (13:07) Finally, it’s time to answer the question on the minds of many Penguins fans: is this team actually good or is this just a mirage? While it’s been fun, it very well could be real because a lot of the fundamentals are very good early on. (23:47)

i think they play like this and keep in playoff position toward end of December then yeah there legit
And also don’t forget nhl ranked pens top 5 schedule and in October and also they have not play back to back games also
Question ya gotta ask yourself is, if they are still winning in December is, shit we should have gotten rid of Sullivan years ago
Also don’t forget a lot team in east haveing slow start like lightning sens ,rangers and maple leafs and so on like I said if pens keep playing like this toward end of December while there in playoffs spots then yea there for real
I'm undecided… Do I make the 2 hr drive after work to catch this game? Tickets are wicked cheap
“How bout that effin save?!” Jarry to Marchand
Love the idea of kids line. Novak on 2nd not so much lol. Wish it wasn't more expensive to watch Wilkes Barre than the Pens. I'd love to follow them as well…shame. Going to be an interesting year.
Nice episode! Liked that you brought up them being “for real.” That’s something I’m wrestling with. I want to believe so hard that this team is turning the corner, but it’s hard with how the last bunch of seasons we’ve had have gone. I’m just trying to remain optimistic and taking it game by game. Tonight will 100% be a big test. Fingers crossed!!
You don't have crystal balls?….my boys are quite sensitive to be honest…not crystal, but at my age I could use an athletic supporter.
Oh wait, I'm not an athlete, so I'm the athletic supporter.
Clifton is a liability. I know we are giving him a chance to prove himself but not to happy with his play. Penalty lead to a goal and Florida momentum and it doesn’t look like he’s playing hard at all…on a better note KINDEL FOR THE CADLER!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! SIDNEY CROSBY, WOOOOOOOOOOOO! CONNOR DEWAR! TRISTIAN JARRY! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Fun game to watch. Pens got outplayed badly in the 2nd and 3rd periods but vintage sidney crosby game and jarry standing on his head got the victory. Bob wasnt very good in this game. The dewar goal he gave up was weak. 6-2 now with blue jackets coming to town on saturday
I followed you guys on insta just a minute ago.
You guys and this team are really my saving grace right now, as I am also a Vikings fan and it is hell! 😄 🤣 😂
We don't know if we can say for certain that the goalies will be swapping every game, but if that's the plan for now I think it's a perfect fit for Jarry. I feel Jarry's biggest issue in net is himself and I don't think he has confidence in himself. Last year's tough love wasn't helping him feel confident in his role, just anxious about losing his spot or getting a more permanent position in WB.
This year, a bad game doesn't seem to have too much fallout. I know it's early, but like, a bad game isn't going to get you to lose your spot. You know you'll be on the bench the next game. That's how it was planned before the puck was even dropped. You get a game to wash off a bad performance and you can feel confident that you'll be starting the next game.
Idk if that's the plan or idea behind this goalie rotation, but whatever it is, it seems to be working!
