Welcome to the 2026-27 season, Rickard Rakell

What a nightmare of a weekend for the Penguins. @hunterhodies.bsky.social and I recap what went wrong and get you set for the road trip's finale in Utah. Come hang: youtu.be/XIQKhXM_zO0?...

It’s going to kill me for the rest of the season that VT lost to this Pitt team. They suck

I gave @kelseysurmacz4.bsky.social the night off and handled the recap last night. I discussed the continued special teams problems, Declan Carlile’s struggles, Sidney Crosby’s best game of the year, and so much more: thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

Takeaways: Penguins Can't Sustain Fast Start, Allow Five Unanswered Goals In 5-2 Loss To Avalanche

The Pittsburgh Penguins got off to a strong start before squandering it in a loss to the Colorado Avalanche.

The Penguins will play the third-highest-scoring team in the NHL tonight. Then, for their troubles, they'll turn around and play the highest-scoring team in the NHL on Saturday. @hunterhodies.bsky.social and I get you set for a weekend B2B. Come hang: youtu.be/tAxHoa1DRWg?...

Hearing a lifetime contract will be made official next Friday. The deal includes a full NMC.

Baseball won today and I am happy for it. The Dodgers fanbase reminds me of Man City’s.

Posted on the other website but: The power play especially killed them tonight, as did that fourth goal. You cannot allow that shot to go in, especially at a point when your team is taking over the game. It totally deflated them for the rest of the way.

You could tell something was coming for Sid after he scored that shootout goal on Saturday. I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes on a bit of a streak now.

The Penguins were awful on Friday and OK on Saturday, but Murashov and Silovs were great in both. @hunterhodies.bsky.social and I recap the weekend in a new Locked On Penguins. Come hang: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDyM...

Overall, that’s a nice weekend for the Penguins. Collected 3/4 points, even though they probably didn’t deserve the point on Friday. They carried the pace of play for most of the game and Silovs responded after Murashov’s great game last night. Let’s see if they build on it.

I have not seen the shooters pick corners like that in a shootout in a loooooong time. Even Crosby unleashed a laser there!

If you are out to eat and watching a video with max volume on at a table, you deserve to stub your toe every day for the next year.

I appreciate Muse changing up the shootout lineup, but those attempts were still dreadful. Murashov deserved better

JV mistakes killed them tonight. That was the difference. 4 of the Caps' 5 goals were gifted to them off inexcusable plays. The good news is that much of this is fixable, especially the slow starts

It's Ovechkin's final season, and we only get four more guaranteed Crosby-Ovi matchups. @hunterhodies.bsky.social and I preview the game, talk about all the history, and hand out our first warrior helmets of the season. Come hang: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaLh...

Penguins were sloppy, sleepy, and kinda shitty on Monday night. @hunterhodies.bsky.social and I recap the game, Sergei Murashov's season debut, and hand out our first shames of the year. YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC8F... Audio: lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/loc...

Should never have gotten to that point, but that’s a beautiful two-on-one from Malkin and Novak. Great stones to win that game.

The Crosby line had Caufield and Co. in the mud for the entire shift before Sam Girard finished the play off. BTW: What a start to the season for Girard. Looks way better so far

What a release by Declan Carlile

Why is Dobes going down like he gets head-shot sniped in Fortnite? It's every 5 seconds

That goal was scored because of Egor Chinakhov. Filthy keep at the blue line before Letang unleashed that clapper from the point, leading to that mess

Okay I have cleansed myself from last night’s loss. He missed it barely. Pens home opener is today. All is right in the world

Haven't been this nervous for a Virginia Tech football game in years. It's great to have this feeling back lol

We also just hit 5K subs on YouTube and are super grateful for everyone's support. Let's keep it rolling

The Penguins got some good news on the injury front on Friday as they get ready for a challenging home opener against a young, talented Habs squad. @hunterhodies.bsky.social and I get you set for Saturday's game. Come hang: youtu.be/Hm24HSAd7eg?...

That was a 60-minute beatdown. From the opening drop of the puck, the forecheck gave the Flyers fits, and they had no answer. Defensively, they took everything away and played a simple, crisp game. Great way to open the season for the Penguins.

A chili goal in Game 1 of the season? Yep, we are officially back.

Absolute domination in every single facet. They are kicking their asses.

So, so, so happy for Filip Hallander. Dude has worked his ass off to get back here and had a fantastic camp/preseason before making the roster. Great job to crash the net there after his great assist earlier.
