This show is presented by FanDuel. What went wrong for the Penguins in Sin City? Why were they so prone to silly mistakes that they've been able to avoid for the most part this season? Are they trending downward during this tough road trip down the stretch? Has anyone stepped up in the absences of Sidney Crosby (injured) and Evgeni Malkin (suspended)? Who NEEDS to step up? And when might Crosby be back? King tackles those topics and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This show is presented by FanDuel. What did that overtime win, capped off by Tommy Novak's goal, mean for the Penguins' season at large?

There is an excitement in the Pirates clubhouse and have a lot of guys that embody the blue-collar aspect of Pittsburgh. Mangum has an exciting style of play with speed and defense the backbone of it. Evgeni Malkin was ejected from the game last night against Buffalo. Joe compared it to a rock fight. Joe thinks people need to relax with the Malkin talk and him snapping has nothing to do with his contract.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: Dan Muse spoke on Evgeni Malkin's penalty and the goalie interference penalty. Would you trade Stuart Skinner? We would, if the Penguins can acquire a second. The Pirates said goodbye, for now, to Andrew McCutchen. Joe thinks that McCutchen should have a statue.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: Sean Gentille thinks that Evgeni Malkin will be suspended three games for his high stick on Rasmus Dahlin. He thinks there is a 66.6% chance that Evgeni Malkin comes back. Sean thinks that Ben Kindel's full potential is a really good, valuable player as a No. 2 center. The Bechtold Breakdown - The Pirates said thank you and good luck to Andrew McCutchen.

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey: Pirates outfielder Jake Mangum joined the show! There is excitement in the Pirates clubhouse and have a lot of guys that embody the blue-collar aspect of Don Kelly and Pittsburgh. Mangum has an exciting style of play with speed and defense the backbone of it. Would you make a big move at the NHL trade deadline?

In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson react to the Penguins' 5-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday. March 6, 2026, 6:00 Hour

We are 1 hour away from the NHL Trade Deadline. The Penguins have yet to make a move. Will they? Is it a failure on the part of Kyle Dubas if they stand pat? Could a small move pay big dividends the way some of the others have for Dubas this season? We also reacted to the Evgeni Malkin play from last night that could end up in suspension and Sidney Crosby practicing today. Would you rather the Penguins make a splashy buy or a splashy sell? The guys are OK if a little deal is made. BREAKING: The Penguins have acquired Elmer Soderblom from the Red Wings for a 3rd round pick. Elmer is a massive human – 6'8, 252 pounds, but has just 3 points all season. Steelers insider Nick Farabaugh from Penn Live dot com joined the show for some Fair Game w/ Farabaugh. Nick doesn't expect us to know the answer to the QB question on Monday, but maybe by the end of next week. Who is dictating terms here? Nick said the Steelers probably won't offer Aaron Rodgers anything until he makes it clear that he wants to play. What will the contract look like for Malik Willis and is it too steep for the Steelers? Nick thinks Omar Khan and Mike McCarthy are in lockstep here and they want Rodgers back. Nick thinks the Steelers will add 2 WR in free agency and 2-3 in the draft. He expects them to make a signing ‘pretty early' into free agency on Monday, but doesn't expect it to be a ‘big' name right away. Nick thinks the WR on the trade market are likely too rich for the Steelers to make a play on. Jalen Tolbert is a name Nick mentioned – citing his ties to McCarthy from Dallas. Nick doesn't think the Steelers are going to be too aggressive in pursuit of Kenneth Walker, but expects them to be active in the secondary RB market.

Nicholas "Harry" Callas reacts to C Evgeni Malkin being ejected in Thursday's loss to the Buffalo Sabres. Also, are you sad that OF Andrew McCutchen signed a minor-league contract with another team?

Jeff Marek and the Daily Faceoff crew continue their NHL Trade Deadline coverage with breaking news, trade reactions, and deeper analysis from around the league.

With the deadline clock ticking, the panel breaks down the strategy, pressure, and ripple effects shaping one of the busiest days on the NHL calendar.Presented by bet365, GMC, Tim Horton's Hosted on Acast.

The NHL trade deadline is tomorrow at 3 p.m. What should the Penguins do? Andrew McCutchen has signed a minor-league deal with the Texas Rangers. Evgeni Malkin has been playing very well for the Penguins, but questions remain about his contract.

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani, Joe Starkey, and Tyler Kennedy: The NHL trade deadline is tomorrow at 3 p.m. What should the Penguins do? Andrew McCutchen has signed a minor-league deal with the Texas Rangers. Evgeni Malkin has been playing very well for the Penguins, but questions remain about his contract. Tyler Kennedy thinks the template needs to be like Egor Chinakhov and acquire a young player who needs a big change of scenery.

We are 1 day away from the NHL Trade Deadline as the surprise Penguins are all of the sudden a buyer. But how big of one? Will the Pens go after someone as notable as Vincent Trocheck? We may see Kyle Dubas take it slow and not go overboard, even though the Pens need center help. Shane Wright was a name we broached – a center with the Kraken that is freshly 22-years-old and had 44 points last season. What should the Penguins do with Evgeni Malkin? The guys think it only makes sense to re-sign Geno after the season if he plays well and helps this team make it to the playoffs. Did Kyle Dubas already have another plan in his mind about Malkin before the Penguins season played out? Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray could foresee Aaron Rodgers giving the Steelers an answer off-the-record like he did last year as this thing could string out for another year. Ray admitted that some of Rodgers' comments yesterday made the situation a little bit more ‘murky.' Ray doesn't expect this to be a question mark until June again this time around. Ray isn't sure how likely it is that any of the outside free agents would come in and be the Steelers QB. Ray talked about the chances Will Howard and Mason Rudolph have to steer the ship. Ray reminded the guys that they will not give Howard the keys without having seen him in any game action. The guys noted that Jacoby Brissett, despite a 1-11 record last season, had numbers eerily similar to Rodgers in 2025. Ray thinks Kenneth Gainwell will explore his market in free agency after winning team MVP. Chris gave Ray some WR names to pick from and he chose Romeo Doubs, thinking he'd be around $15M/year player. How much would the Steelers have to offer Calvin Austin to get him back? Ray said the versatility of Jalen Ramsey allows the Steelers to explore multiple avenues when it comes to the defensive backfield this offseason. Which WR is the best in this draft? Ray is surprised there wasn't more news around Carnell Tate running a 4.52 40-yard dash. Ray thinks WR is the first move the Steelers make on Monday, either via trade or free agency.

We waited with bated breath as Aaron Rodgers was being set to join The Pat McAfee Show. Donny was tasked with collecting the Q & A between the guys on the show and Rodgers. Is he coming back? Is he retiring? Is he going to test the market? Has Aaron Rodgers said anything? The guys took their guesses on what Rodgers will do. Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. On the heels of the Aaron Rodgers interview, TK said confidently that Sidney Crosby will play hockey into his 40s. Tyler thinks the waiting game Kyle Dubas will play with Evgeni Malkin and his contract is the smart move to focus on the rest of this season. With the trade deadline looming, is Dubas going to stand pat? TK thinks there will be moves to improve the team, but isn't sure if it will be a sizable acquisition like Vincent Trocheck. TK thinks Trocheck could be swayed into the hometown thing and playing for the team he grew up watching.

In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson discuss how much love the city of Pittsburgh has for C Evgeni Malkin. Also, do the Penguins need to make anymore trades? March 3, 2026, 6:00 Hour

The Penguins have earned 5 of 6 points since the return from the Olympics and without Sidney Crosby in the lineup. The trade deadline is upon us as NHL teams gear up for Friday to make the final big moves to their roster. The Pens will get Sid back in about a month, but should they add and should it be a notable piece? Poni made the push for Vincent Trocheck, the local product, that should be available on a bad Rangers team. Chris wasn't going for it and got made when Poni kept pointing out that Trocheck is ‘from here.' Are the Penguins too far ahead on their timeline to make this big of a move? Trocheck was great in the game on Saturday – a come-from-behind effort from the Rangers over the Penguins. Can he turn this team into a Stanley Cup contender? Should the Penguins trade for Vincent Trocheck? PM Team Sports Court w/ our friends from Edgar Snyder & Associates. The guys played a little game of ‘Defend or Prosecute' when it comes to various subjects in Pittsburgh sports. Should the Steelers draft a QB? Should the Steelers move to a dome stadium? Should the Penguins extend Evgeni Malkin? Should Paul Skenes pitch in the World Baseball Classic? Should Pitt fire Jeff Capel at season's end?

You Don't Say Shutout 03/03/26 Almost anything goes in ice hockey - but you never, EVER, under any circumstances …say the word ‘shutout' if your goalie hasn't let up a goal and there's still hockey left to play in the game. The Pittsburgh Penguins are on a roll coming out of the Olympic break, garnering points in the Eastern Conference standings in all of their three games since. With the Boston Bruins on the slate for tonight, let's keep rooting on the Black and Gold - the ones from Pittsburgh, now… - and BEAT BOSTON.

In this episode of Tip of the Ice-Burgh, Nick Belsky and Nick Horwat break down the latest developments surrounding Evgeni Malkin's contract situation with the Penguins — and what it could mean for Pittsburgh's future. With NHL Trade Deadline week officially here, the guys dive into the hottest rumors already linked to the Penguins and identify additional impact targets who could fuel a serious playoff push. Don't miss it! Check out our latest episodes

Stanley Cup Champion, Penguins analyst Jay Caufield joined the show. Kyle Dubas deserves a ton of credit for this season. He thinks Sunday's victory against Vegas was a huge statement. Jay is very hesitant to make a huge move because of how the players and staff have worked together. Evgeni Malkin has deserved the chance to come back next season!

Dan Kingerski reported that Kyle Dubas and Evgeni Malkin are supposed to meet this week to talk about next season. Dan doesn't really think the Penguins need significant additions. Dan doesn't think that Sergei Murashov would be as good as Stuart Skinner at the moment.

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now joined the show. Dan reported that Kyle Dubas and Evgeni Malkin are supposed to meet this week to talk about next season. Dan doesn't really think the Penguins need significant additions. Bubba Chandler has walked seven batters in three innings, should we be concerned about this? Joe is expecting growing pains with Chandler.

What does the future look like for Evgeni Malkin? Following Saturday's shootout loss, Geno shared with the media that he will not be going over contract stuff with Kyle Dubas and the Penguins until the offseason. What should happen? Is it as easy as a 2-year deal for the Penguins legend? It's hard to deny what Malkin has done this season after we thought this would be the swansong. A slew of topics from today's show. Makai Lemon reportedly ‘bombed' his interviews at the combine. Is he going to fall in the draft and/or be there for the Steelers at 21? Should the Steelers draft him?

One of the potential free agent signings may have his price coming down, which should have the Steelers interested. That player is Malik Willis. The QB was first rumored to be looking at $40M/year on the open market, but the latest from ESPN projected Willis at more of a 20-25 million dollar per year player, which changes the calculus a bit. That number would have him as the 20th highest-paid QB in football. Would you do that deal? Would you pay Malik Willlis $25M/year? NHL writer Sean Gentille from The Athletic joined the show. Sean said he would do nothing at the trade deadline if he was Kyle Dubas running the Penguins. He said they can act like they are a good team, but not a Stanley Cup contender. Sean anticipated the Penguins being a bad hockey team and they have been anything but. Why isn't Dan Muse the leader for the Jack Adams award for best coach? Sean thinks the Penguins can do something small like adding a right-handed defenseman to the fold. Sean said a big part of the Penguins success is a lot of the unknown, lottery ticket types, hitting across the board whether it be draft picks or free agent pickups. Sean expected guys like Anthony Mantha to be on the move at this point as the trade deadline approaches. Sean described the goaltending as ‘incredible' from Arturs Silovs and Stuart Skinner. Sean wants to pump the brakes on Sergei Murashov and let the current guys do their thing in the NHL. He said the potential is there and the excitement is there, but we have to slow our roll thinking he will be a slam-dunk everyday goalie. Sean thinks the Penguins should be open for business in the offseason with Evgeni Malkin because he is still a productive player, but he understands the ‘wait & see' method. How good has Egor Chinakhov been in Pittsburgh?

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson wonder if Evgeni Malkin can go back to the "good old days" and carry the Penguins while Sidney Crosby is out with injury. Also, should the Pens consider adding another center to bolster line depth?

In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson react to the development that Penguins' C Sidney Crosby will miss at least four weeks from the injury he sustained in the Olympics. Can we expect Evgeni Malkin to step up in his absence? February 26, 2026, 6:00 Hour

Sidney Crosby is going to miss, at minimum, the next four weeks. Jay thinks it's a big loss and the whole team needs to come together to overcome not having Sid in the lineup. Dan Muse has done a good job getting the best out of players, and this will be a real test. Jay thinks Evgeni Malkin has been on a mission to be great, but it's unrealistic that Malkin can carry the Penguins.

The big breaking news of the day is Sidney Crosby being out for ‘at least' 4 weeks after the lower-body injury suffered last week in the Olympics. Does this ruin the Penguins' season? Historically, Evgeni Malkin has stepped up big when Crosby has been absent, but can he do that at 39? One of our biggest fans, and a massive Penguins fan, told us he was ‘spiraling' with this news. For as fun as this season has been and as fun as the US winning a gold medal was – was it all worth it? The guys don't think we should just accept the fact that the Olympics could very well cost the Penguins a playoff spot.

Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. TK reacted to the news of Sidney Crosby being out for ‘at least' a month as the Penguins pursue a playoff spot. Tyler expects Evgeni Malkin to step up, even at 39-years-old, like he has done in the past without Sid. He thinks Kyle Dubas will be aggressive as the trade deadline approaches. Dubas made another trade TK liked yesterday, moving on from one defenseman to acquire another. Tyler said it's very good that Geno got this time off because he's at the age where that is necessary in the middle of the season. Tyler admitted he would give Jack Hughes a standing ovation tomorrow night if he was at the game. TK told us a wild story about an injury he suffered off-the-ice during his career that he had to slyly lie about.

Olympic Hangover 02/23/26 Sidney Crosby played well in the Milan Cortina Olympic prelims, then sustained a serious lower body injury in Team Canada's quarterfinal game against Czechia. Team USA ultimately won gold in dramatic OT fashion, with NJD's Jack Hughes netting the deciding tally. The Penguins are back in action on home ice, this Thursday against Hughes's NHL squad, followed by a Saturday visit to MSG and the reigning gold medal-winning HC, former PIT bench boss Mike Sullivan.
