Despite the loss, the Penguins can still take some positives away from it!

The Pittsburgh Penguins dropped a close one on Thursday night, but that doesn't mean it's the end of the world. Hunter starts the show by getting into the shootout and why the Penguins fell victim in this one. He looks at why it's time for Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin to potentially be replaced in future shootouts since they don't seem to care about actually making moves to score. Hunter gives his dream top three that Mike Sullivan should go with, especially since those three players actually make moves. He then slams the NHL for allowing Evgeny Kuznetsov to get away with the move that he uses since it's a total cop-out move from the EA Sports NHL game. He looks at how it's just not fair to any goaltender that goes up against it and why it could lead to shootouts getting washed altogether. After that, Hunter praises Casey DeSmith for his performance and how he was able to bounce back in a big way. Is that the norm for him going forward? How can he stay more consistent? Finally, Hunter ends the show with a discussion about the 4th line and how the Penguins have found something with Poehling, DOC, and Heinen. He then looks at how it can get even better once Josh Archibald is ready to return. All of that, plus much more, is on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast.
