    The Pittsburgh Penguins: Deep End of the Rebuild Pool 03/13/25

    Jordan DeFigio and Jeff Taylor convene to acknowledge that which is apparent: The Pittsburgh Penguins are currently deep in ‘rebuild mode,’ and it’s likely going to stay that way through the end of next (25-26) NHL season.

    It's Pride Night at PPG Paints Arena!! The Penguins host the St. Louis Blues this evening on Fifth Ave, and there's a chance - an outside one? - that you'll see some rainbow tape on the sticks of players like Bryan Rust, who in the past has been a bit of an ambassador for inclusivity in hockey.

    Multiple references are made to The Office (American edition), plus you’ll get to know the four newest acquisitions made by Pittsburgh’s front office: Kolyachonok, Timmins, Dewar, and Novak.

    Not mentioned on the podcast, but holy cow: Your admin had completely forgotten that Danton Heinen was a Penguin again! Ha.

    “Pittsburgh Penguins At The Trade Deadline” 03/04/25

    Sidney Crosby isn’t going anywhere. Neither are Evgeny Malkin or Bryan Rust. Erik Karlsson? If there’s a team with plenty of shutdown, stay-at-home defensemen and they’re looking for an offensive spark on the backend, …MAYBE??

    Jeff is up late (again) and we’re only ONE episode away from Jordan DeFigio rejoining our ranks after a well-deserved vacay.
