The Penguins split a weekend back-to-back but the focus was more on the debut of two prospects! Marshall Mondays return this week as Jesse Marshall of The Athletic joins Patrick and Hunter to discuss the loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets as well as the debut of defenseman Owen Pickering. Then, Patrick and Hunter discuss the shootout win to the San Jose Sharks and how that game pretty much sums up the Penguins’ season to this point. Finally, they close out the show by talking about how the Penguins no-showed just 24 hours earlier against Columbus.

Patrick…. Looks like you want to look like “Rustache.”😂
Is the problem, communication between the players?
Hunter! I was at this game it was so fantastic I had the best time of my current life this weekend in Pittsburgh!! Go Penguins!! And pittsburgh people seem pretty neat by the way
8:44 this is definitely something i've noticed too, i've literally said in my head that same thought, they play like 5 or 6 year olds when they first play hockey or soccer, it's a pack of players going after the puck, nobody covering the danger areas.
I'm getting tired of seeing Mike Sullivan chewing gum on the bench.
"Picks" was outstanding considering it was his first game & he's playing with a D-crew in shambles. He & VP have smarts & knack for the game. I think VP is going to surprise many as he's creative, hard working & has maturity/wisdom which sets him apart from many that age (far ahead of Rutger in this regard). Bonehead Bunting robbed Geno of a highlight reel goal but at least he is improving overall. Hunter predicted 30 and me 25+ goals for Bunts. Still time to get in the ballpark of those numbers if that second line remains together. Third line looks like they're gelling. Keep them together! Correct Nieto does look like an NHLer. Need his speed and energy right now. Beau is starting to piece together a very solid year….looks like a nice return at the deadline is coming. Raks is getting a lot of bad luck the last few weeks. Robbed at least a dozen times by the netminder or the post. Still playing well but he needs to get one to go in. Shea and Matt G need to vanish….cannot win with those types. So glad Graves was out of the lineup. Those two next please. This Tampa game is crucial. We cannot get blown out again.
Hunter I was thinking about you while watching Mikael Granlund score vs the Pens. The new guy did good today.
It seems like Dubas didn't even watch any Bruins game tape from last season to check in on Matt Grzylcek before making his decision to sign him. How Dubas couldn't scout Matt G before signing him is insane. Bad sign for Dubas.
This is all coaching. Even a premier veteran talent like Crosby is said to seek coaching of what he does so clearly everyone else should be accepting of it. Neither Sullivan nor Quinn, the "defense specialist," clearly have the answer if they can't execute what is noted obviously by a podcaster. I don't know who out there is the answer but there HAS to be a better choice at coaching.
The penguins will be lucky if they win 1 of the 3 games this week. With the start of this season being as bad as it has, i think they should just tank for a high pick. They wont because of sid and geno but it would be the best thing for present and future of this team
The 3rd Columbus goal that broke the 2-2 tie on Friday night was the goal that Karlsson got caught pinching without a forward covering for him that turned into a 3-on-1. Karlsson also gave little-to-no effort to get back because why would he. The Columbus broadcast did a great job isolating on Karlsson and just how bad he was on the play. So I'm not sure I would blame Jarry or any goalie for giving up a goal on a 3-on-1. My takeaway … this team cannot win with Erik Karlsson on the blueline.
Talked with Jesse this summer about Pickering. I was very critical of him. I still am somewhat as it was just one game. But wow I am so impressed at how in just a dozen or so WBS games he has managed to change his play style COMPLETELY. I thought that would take a couple seasons😂. That speeds up his progression A LOT in my opinion. Glad the coaching staff didn’t view him as some puck moving or offensive guy. His strengths are much better used in his current role?/style of play. Which Jesse told me at the time and I respectfully didn’t agree. Kudos!
Do you know who I am? I'm Owen Pickering!
I listened to this today and enjoyed it. But laughed at Hunter's praise of the three on thee OT play. Having been depressed by last night's collapse against the Lightning.
I live in Columbus (still a Pens fan) and was at the game last Friday. Even with them mixed results since, they definitely played better at home than they did here in Columbus. That was tough to watch.
