You can't script that Penguins win any better, right?

You really can't script it any better. Evgeni Malkin, on his night, gets the shootout winner to propel the Penguins to victory and the crowd went absolutely NUTS. Hunter starts off the show with that moment as Malkin deked Dan Vladar out of his sockets for the winner and then threw his stick into the crowd. He looks at how this was just a perfect day and a perfect evening for everyone to celebrate his accomplishments over the first 1,000 games of his NHL career. He goes into the ceremony and how it really moved him, plus how he continues to defy his age with how he looks on the ice. After that, he looks at the game overall as the Penguins played a very sound 45 minutes and did just enough in the shootout to come away with the win. He praises the team's defending as it's been much better over the last couple of weeks and gives examples of how the net-front defense in particular was much better. He also analyzes how the Penguins were able to beat the Flames at their own game since Darryl Sutter LOVES low-event hockey, plus shouts out some players individually for some strong performances. Finally, Hunter gets to some listener takeaways as some of the listeners had a couple of fascinating things to say. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.
