TSN Hockey Analyst Mike Johnson joined OverDrive to discuss Sidney Crosby playing for Canada at the IIHF, Evgeni Malkin's future with the Penguins, Auston Matthews' future with the Maple Leafs, if Gavin McKenna's arrival would change his viewpoint on the team, the Sabres' lineup changes for Game 4 against the Canadiens and more.
John Perrotto discusses the Pirates good start, if the team is good enough to make the playoffs, how good Konnor Griffin can be, is Cruz inching closer to reaching his potential, the job that Don Kelly has done in his first year, the three greatest Pirates of all-time (Wagner, Clemente, Waner), what is Henry Davis' future? Kyle Dubas spoke today and it certainly sounds like Malkin will be back. How does Malkin's situation compare to Aaron Rodgers and Andrew McCutchen. Did the fans help shape the decision to likely bring him back? Callers are happy to bring back Geno. What would the Pens look like if they kept Jake Guentzel.

Kyle Dubas held his end-of-season press conference today and the big question & answer was in regard to the future of Evgeni Malkin. Is that the smartest move by the Penguins right now? He was still a point per game player this past season and really isn't blocking an abundance of young talent since he made the move from center to wing. All along it felt like the tea leaves were saying the Penguins wouldn't bring him back, but today made fans and media feel as if their goal was to have Malkin run it back. Do fans want the Penguins to bring back Evgeni Malkin? Does Kyle Dubas have something up his sleeve this offseason? Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz joined the show. Ferentz is a Western PA guy and would also know better than anyone about the recent Steelers draft picks that played for him at Iowa. Kirk jokingly advised Gennings Dunker to not eat any fish he catches in The Mon. Kirk talked about the emergence of Hawkeyes that have gotten drafted by the Steelers in recent years. Kirk said he has a ton of respect for the Steelers organization. The guys had Kirk breakdown the vibe of Dunker, with the red mullet and personality so fitting to be an offensive lineman. He said Dunker is much smarter than he looks and very wise to the game. Kirk raved about Dunker as a teammate and person. Kirk things Dunker is a good fit to start his NFL career at guard and maybe move to tackle, what he played at Iowa, later in his career. The Steelers also drafted Kaden Wetjen, the return specialist – what can he bring to the Steelers? Kirk said Wetjen was a walk-on that turned into a star with the Hawkeyes, emerging as one of the best return men in the Big 10. The Steelers drafted Kaleb Johnson in 2025, the former Iowa RB, who failed to make much of an impact as a rookie. Kirk said Johnson didn't start fast with Iowa, but finished his career extremely strong. He said Johnson had some focus issues his first few seasons in college, but was ‘wired in' for his final year. Chris made sure to ask Kirk about the Iowa victory over Penn State nearly 20 years ago with the Hawkeyes beating the Nittany Lions 6-4 at Beaver Stadium. Going back to his Pittsburgh roots, Kirk talked about the 1979 Pirates, his favorite childhood team. Kirk talked about the origin of the Iowa uniforms and why they match the Steelers.

Tyler Kennedy joins the show! There is a report out there from Dave Pagnotta saying a one year, $5 million deal asking price and would be surprised if he wasn't a Penguin.

Jesse Marshall from The Athletic comes on The Fan Hotline to address how the Penguins should handle Evgeni Malkin this offseason with Adam Crowley.
A man dressed as a penguin is protesting that the Pens re-sign Evgeni Malkin. If Malkin is not re-signed, what does this mean for the Penguins' future? Dan Kingerski says bringing Malkin back for one more year would serve as a farewell. Poni and I both think Malkin will play with Ovechkin in Washington if the Penguins don't re-sign him.
The Steelers are apparently getting fed up with Aaron Rodgers not signing yet. Why hasn't the old quarterback signed a contract with the Steelers yet? Why haven't the Steelers publicly stated they have no problem waiting for him? They have two quarterbacks who have never played in the NFL before and Mason Rudolph. They should be able to admit they're okay with waiting for him. A pompous caller named Brian chimes in on the Steelers and mis-pronounces Troy Fautanu's name multiple times.

Pirates broadcaster Bob Walk joined the show. Bubba Chandler's command has not been good and the walks have driven his pitch count up. Bob thinks Chandler tries to do too much and needs to take a breath. Bob said he was uptight on the mound and needed to make it simpler. Bob questions how good the offense actually is and thinks that Henry Davis needs to AT LEAST hit .215. Evgeni Malkin said it seems like Kyle Dubas wants "new blood" with the Penguins. Malkin wants one more year in the NHL.

Evgeni Malkin said it seems like Kyle Dubas wants "new blood" with the Penguins. Malkin wants one more year in the NHL. We hear from Kris Letang.
The Philadelphia Flyers closed out the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 6 OT, capping a surprisingly solid “bridge year” for Pittsburgh’s aging core, with Evgeni Malkin expressing interest in returning at 40 and Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang also expected back. Philly, meanwhile, nearly let a 3–0 series slip but got a great performance from goalie Dan Vladar leading to Cam York’s eventual winner, though a tough matchup with the Carolina Hurricanes awaits. The Montreal Canadiens moved within one win of eliminating the Tampa Bay Lightning thanks to Alex Texier’s Game 5 winner and stellar goaltending from Jakub Dobes, while Brendan Gallagher made an immediate impact in his playoff debut, setting up a raucous Game 6 at the Bell Centre. Out West, Brett Howden scored a shorthanded double-OT winner to give the Vegas Golden Knights a 3–2 edge over Utah in a series where goaltending has been uncertain at best, and at times, chaotic. The Edmonton Oilers face elimination on the road against the Anaheim Ducks in Game 6, needing early pressure on Dostal, but also the consistency they’ve lacked all season. The Minnesota Wild have an opportunity at home to eliminate the Dallas Stars behind Jesper Wallstedt and their heavy-minute defenders, who are proving to be a difficult matchup.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Post-Gazette Penguins insider King Jemison and sports columnist Noah Hiles break down the team's season-ending Game 6 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers from Xfinity Mobile Arena and look at where the team goes from here. This show is presented by FanDuel. Why didn't the Penguins emerge victorious in a game when they played well? Did Arturs Silovs cement himself as the Penguins' goalie of the future? Were they undone by resting key players down the stretch? Would the series have turned out differently if they played like that the whole time? And what is next for the team's Big Three of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang? Our duo tackles those topics and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
