It's our weekly Sided.co "Breakfast With Benz" hockey podcast with Brian Metzer of the Penguins Radio network.
Plenty of topics on the table this week.
• The Penguins were very spotty on that 2-3 west coast trip before the break. How come?
• How do the Pens currently compare to the rest of the Metro as they enjoy some downtime?
LISTEN: Tim Benz, Brian Metzer discuss Penguins' spotty West Coast road trip?
• I think Derick Brassard and Morgan Burnett are actually the same person. We'll see if Metz agrees.
• The Capitals are struggling, too. So that's fun.
• How worried should we be about Patric Hornqvist's concussions? Maybe Philadelphia's Wayne Simmonds can provide power forward depth at the trade deadline.
• Most importantly, the new Rival Sons album comes out Friday. And Greta Van Fleet was on "Saturday Night Live" this weekend.
