    Pittsburgh Penguins Hockey At The Center Of The Sun 07/22/25

    In the style of what fictional Chief Of Staff to POTUS, Leo McGarry (played by the great, late John Spencer) once called “Big Block Of Cheese Day,” Jordan and Jeff have gathered up a whole slew of random Pittsburgh Penguins ‘news’ items for YOU, the listener. And in the way that only your esteemed co-hosts can, these bits and pieces of chum are tossed into otherwise hockey-less Summer waters, tiding Yinz over until our next episode drops. Speaking of chum… don’t sleep on the Labor Day weekend cinematic run of JAWS!

    Mario Lemieux’s Hockey Clock 07/16/25

    Renewed media buzz has gathered steam around the potential reacquisition of the Pittsburgh Penguins by the Lemieux/Burkle/Morehouse ownership group. Kris Letang’s summer workout videos have surfaced and they’re - of course - completely insane and sweat-inducing. Erik Karlsson still seems somewhat un-trade-able, in spite of a significant increase in the NHL’s salary cap. The Canucks goalie Arturs Silovs has been traded to your Pittsburgh Penguins - and it could be a game changer for the Pens: more on that NEXT episode.

    In Bryan Rust We Trust - or - FTLOG Kyle Dubas: Please Do Not Trade Bryan Rust

    With the 2025 NHL Entry Draft (June 27-28) just barely in our rearview mirrors and free agency upon us (July 1st), Jeff Taylor and Jordan DeFigio wax hockey about what binds Pittsburgh Penguins fans together - a love of the game, a deep appreciation what Sidney Patrick Crosby has given this town - and hockey fans around the world, and the stark realization that we are in for a stinker of a 2025-2026 regular season campaign.

    Commiserate and ponder with us, as we all - listeners included - head into a much-needed national holiday weekend. Stay cool, friends, and stay safe.
