This 5-day break is MUCH NEEDED for the Pittsburgh Penguins...

Happy Monday! The Penguins are off for the next few days, but I promise you that the content DOES NOT stop there. Hunter starts the show with the depressing news about Tristan Jarry and how he was this close to writing his redemption story. Is there a chance that he's back for the postseason? Hunter ponders that as he will likely do nothing for the time being before switching gears to Casey DeSmith. Is he good enough to win the Penguins a playoff series? Hunter weighs the pros and cons of that as it's highly likely he's going to start at least part of the Penguins' first-round series. He then shouts out Danton Heinen for his tremendous season after setting a career-high in goals and how that wicked release has done wonders for him this year. Anytime you can get close to 20 goals from a depth player, you're doing something right. Hunter then pivots to the game as a whole and why the Penguins' slow starts continue to be an issue. He explains what the Penguins need to do in order to not give up goals in these situations before hammering them for their brutal 6-on-5 effort again (this is becoming a theme). Finally, he ends the show by explaining just how big this break is and what he's looking for from the team down the stretch.
