Casey DeSmith and the top line CARRIED the Penguins to that win!

The Pittsburgh Penguins got the win on Tuesday night, but it hardly came easy. Hunter starts the show out by praising Casey DeSmith for his performance as he was busy right from the opening faceoff. He goes into how his active stick, plus his movement really shined in this one, plus how he looked a lot more aggressive compared to normal. He analyzes some of the saves that he was able to make and how the Penguins got some strong goaltending from him not just in this game, but in two of his prior three starts as well. After that, Hunter looks at how great the top line performed as Sidney Crosby was the best player on the ice. He analyzes the first Jake Guentzel goal as the two took a play right out of the Tampa Bay Lightning's playbook from 2011. Oh, I bet you know that one. He then touches on how it seems like Jake Guentzel is having a "down year" eye test wise but when you look at the numbers, he's still having good production. Why is that? Does something still seem amiss about him? Finally, Hunter goes into a brutal coaching blunder from David Quinn toward the late stages of this contest and then slams the team for still looking broken. All of that, plus a look ahead to the schedule, is on this episode of Locked On Penguins.
