Welcome back for season 4! In today’s episode, Kristie and Danielle dust off the podcast equipment and jump right into discussing the latest BS from Evander Kane and what that means for the HDA and their credibility moving forward. Then they jump into some early season surprises such as Seattle not doing so well, neither is MTL and was Ristolainen the problem all along in Buffalo? They give their thoughts on the new TV deals and how games look on NHL on ESPN and TNT. Lastly, wrapping up with the Pens. Even though they are without a lot of key players, the team is holding their own thanks to the “next man up” mentality. Danielle and Kristie give credit where credit is due, as well as wonder what the Pens plan to do with Pierre Oliver Joseph.

In today’s episode, Danielle and Kristie follow up on the Covid drama in Vancouver, JT Miller speaking out and how that looks for the NHLPA. Keeping with that theme, they also discuss Robin Lehner’s comments to the media and how the NHL and NHLPA are treating the players behind closed doors. Since the last episode came out around the deadline, Kristie and Danielle take a look at the moves made in the Eastern Division and what that could mean for the Pens. Like always, they wrap up with some Pens talk, how the team is doing, some concerns and who they’d like to play in the playoffs.

We're back! This week, Danielle and Kristie talk about the NHL and Covid focusing on the outbreak in Vancouver and some possible ramifications of that for the North Division. At the time of recording it was not yet the trade deadline but there were still some trades to discuss! We also talk about what we want or don't want to see this trade deadline. Of Course we close it out with the Penguins who are still looking good and some key players are stepping up.

Kristie and Danielle are back and this time with a Guest! We are joined by Taylor Haase of DK Pittsburgh Sports. Taylor is a writer who covers a lot of the Penguins prospects from the Wheeling Nailers and WBS Penguins who else is better to talk about the Penguins future?! We go over everything that the Penguins have done in the offseason and look to the future to see how it all might fit in the 2020-2021 season. 

Note:  At the start of the episode Danielle and Kristie talk about the sexual assault allegations against former members of the WBS Penguins coaching staff. If you do not want to listen to that please take care of yourself and skip to 13:30  where we begin our conversation with Taylor. 

In today’s episode, apparently NHL owners can’t or more correctly, chose not to read the two month old CBA, so the start of the 2020-2021 season could be delayed. Danielle and Kristie try to figure out why the NHLPA always seems to fold in these negotiations. As well as discuss new NHL hiring's and the good, bad and teams that should redo their reverse retro jerseys. And because 2020 continues to suck, they also discuss Jake Paul vs Evander Kane.

We're back everyone and did we miss a lot! In this episode,  the girls discuss the playoffs, other shenanigans happening around the NHL (Kyle Dubas a Witch?) and of course whatever it is the Penguins have been doing. 

The NHL and it’s players had to face their second test after many promised to listen, learn and be a part of change. We discussed how they messed up while the whole world was watching, the NHL schucked the responsibility on the players and with that responsibility some players stepped up more than others. This past week we saw first hand why it’s important for people and players of color to be in the room, during these conversations and if the NHL or it’s players want to actually be a part of change, why they must demand it.

In today’s episode we discuss the recent articles about the ongoing abuse in Junior and Youth Hockey in North America. This unfortunately is not a new topic, however, within the past two weeks, multiple athletes have come forward with their stories and the trauma they experienced within their programs and leagues. We examine the power dynamics in hockey, the isolation from family and friends and other contributors to this toxic culture. Then we provide some realistic systematic changes and safety nets to put in place to keep these children safe.
