Everyone ready for these last five Penguins games?
It was a mixed weekend for the Pittsburgh Penguins but in the end, they ended it still in a playoff spot. Hunter starts the show by discussing Kris Letang's legacy and how it was never certain that he would get to 1,000 games. He also discusses his favorite moments that Letang has been a part of in franchise history and why he will go down as the best defenseman in franchise history. He even makes an easy case of why Letang belongs in the Hockey Hall of Fame when it's all said and done due to how underrated he's been throughout his career. After that, Hunter analyzes how the Penguins took down the Flyers and why that was a must-win with everything at stake. He praises Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust for getting the team going after a slow start, plus how Casey DeSmith turned in one of his finest starts of the season when they needed it most. He even praises Mikael Granlund for making a neat play when the game got close late in the third period, which sprung Ryan Poehling for the putaway goal. After that, he quickly discusses the fallout of the Bruins loss and why the Penguins would be in even better shape had they just gotten a point out of that game. He looks at where it all went wrong and ponders the thought of some changes to the assistant coaches if the special teams continue to be this bad. Finally, Hunter previews what's to come this week as it's about to get very stressful in this city.
