A week off for the Penguins doesn’t mean a week off for Brian Metzer of the Penguins Radio Network. He joins us for his weekly hockey chat even though the Penguins are continuing their break until Friday.
Brian gives us his thoughts on the All-Star weekend and breakout media star Alex Letang.
He also has some predictions about which teams will emerge hot after the break.
We look at some of the long-term issues facing the team once they resume play against Philadelphia. One of them is how the defense gets realigned when — or if — the entire blueline ever gets healthy at the same time.
The goalie rotation will be interesting to watch once the puck drops again, especially with so many crucial games against Eastern Conference foes.
We’ll have our eyes on the trade market over the next few weeks. There may be extra benefits to acquiring a winger beyond just replacing Jake Guentzel. We dive deeper into that theory.
And we debate the merits of Fraggle Rock, Cobra Kai, and Elisabeth Shue.
