Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan talks with referee Chris Rooney during the first period of an NHL hockey game against the Calgary Flames in Pittsburgh, Monday, Nov. 25, 2019. The Penguins won in overtime 3-2.

Much like Santa Claus, Brian Metzer and I are all over the map on Christmas Eve.

Yes, we get into our weekly Penguins chat, as always on a Tuesday. We talk goaltending. The state of the Pens’ health. And their current standing in the Metro Division.

Also, we look at the upcoming home-and-home series against the Nashville Predators.

But, don’t be stunned as we dive into Eddie Vedder, his sports legacy, the new Seattle franchise, Mario Lemieux’s first shift goal versus the “Immaculate Reception,” and the new “Star Wars” movie.

Don’t tell me you didn’t get enough on your plate in this Christmas feast of a podcast.

I mean, it’s not “A Christmas Story” Chinese food buffet. But it’s good.

Man, I haven’t seen a duck get treated that harshly since….well….Sunday against the Jets.

Listen: Tim Benz and Brian Metzer discuss all things Penguins at the Christmas break, plus some thoughts on Eddie Vedder and Seattle sports
