Podcasts about Evgeni Malkin

No. 2 is DeJuan Blair scoring 22 points and grabbing 23 rebounds against Hasheem Thabeet and No. 1 UConn. He flipped Thabeet on a rebound and recorded the most rebounds in a Pitt game in 40+ years. Who is No. 1? South Side Jake mentions Penguins-Hurricanes with Evgeni Malkin's hat trick. 

TK shares how Evgeni Malkin fought Craig Adams at practice. Sidney Crosby pulled TK aside after a game when Sid wanted the puck in the last five minutes and Crosby had a personable, good conversation that stuck with him. "There's no better town in the USA to be a sports athlete than Pittsburgh."

It's been very quiet with the Penguins. TK thinks Gavin McKenna is "a game changer." But it would be a rough season if the Penguins get rid of Bryan Rust or Rickard Rakell. Kyle Dubas thinks Evgeni Malkin might be the most underrated player in NHL history. 

Happy 38th Birthday to Sidney Crosby 08/07/25There are two things about Sidney Crosby's birthday which every Penguins fan knows by heart. For one, the date of our Captain's arrival on Earth is emblazoned on Crosby's back-and-shoulders, any time he skates for the Pittsburgh Penguins: “8/7.” Secondly, Sid's birthday means that training camp is just around the corner, signaling an encouraging “midpoint” in an otherwise mundane summer offseason.Special thanks to Espresso A Mano, Pittsburgh's finest coffee roasters and cafe, for partnering with Fly Penguins Fly podcast.

We debate who should flank Evgeni Malkin this season and what the ideal second line could look like. (1:50) Then, which Penguins prospects are ready to take the next step and make their NHL debuts? We break down the most likely names and their chances of sticking (14:40). Plus, Mario Lemieux's ownership group continues its push — we dig into what their ongoing pursuit could mean for the future of the franchise (31:28). Check out our latest episodes

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to react to the hot topics in Pittsburgh sports this week. Should Steelers GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin make an exception to their rule of not negotiating contracts with players during training camp and into the season when it comes to T.J. Watt? Or should they stick to their guns as he reportedly seeks a contract that would take him to his age 36 season? Is there still time to trade him? And would that defeat the purpose of signing veterans like Aaron Rodgers and trading for names like DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith? And are there any lessons we can learn from the Le'Veon Bell contract holdout close to a decade ago? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks some hockey. What should we make of Penguins GM Kyle Dubas' moves so far this NHL offseason? Does the deal for goalie Arturs Silovs signal big moves coming with Tristan Jarry and/or Erik Karlsson? Should the team tank for a chance to draft Gavin McKenna? Or give Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang a chance for one more Stanley Cup run together? And what should we make of reports that Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle are looking to re-assume ownership of the club? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Then in the third segment, airing on the PG's Pirates YouTube channel, the guys tackle the hot topics surrounding the club this week. Should GM Ben Cherington be allowed to trade big names like Mitch Keller, Bryan Reynolds and Ke'Bryan Hayes while his future is in question? Or should Bob Nutting limit his options for deals to players on expiring contracts like Tommy Pham, Andrew Heaney and Isiah Kiner-Falefa? What should we make of Reynolds' continued struggles? Was Seth Hernandez a good top pick in the MLB draft? Where does Oneil Cruz go from here after his MLB Home Run Derby performance? And how seriously should we take Konnor Griffin as a prospect?

Mario Lemieux's Hockey Clock 07/16/25Renewed media buzz has gathered steam around the potential reacquisition of the Pittsburgh Penguins by the Lemieux/Burkle/Morehouse ownership group. Kris Letang's summer workout videos have surfaced and they're - of course - completely insane and sweat-inducing. Erik Karlsson still seems somewhat un-trade-able, in spite of a significant increase in the NHL's salary cap. The Canucks goalie Arturs Silovs has been traded to your Pittsburgh Penguins - and it could be a game changer for the Pens: more on that NEXT episode.Special thanks to Espresso A Mano, Pittsburgh's finest coffee roasters and cafe, for partnering with Fly Penguins Fly podcast.

Are the Penguins really trying to compete, or are they tanking? Rod Woodson thinks Jalen Ramsey can play safety. Sean Gentille joins the show to discuss the Penguins plan.

In Bryan Rust We Trust - or - FTLOG Kyle Dubas: Please Do Not Trade Bryan RustWith the 2025 NHL Entry Draft (June 27-28) just barely in our rearview mirrors and free agency upon us (July 1st), Jeff Taylor and Jordan DeFigio wax hockey about what binds Pittsburgh Penguins fans together - a love of the game, a deep appreciation what Sidney Patrick Crosby has given this town - and hockey fans around the world, and the stark realization that we are in for a stinker of a 2025-2026 regular season campaign. Commiserate and ponder with us, as we all - listeners included - head into a much-needed national holiday weekend. Stay cool, friends, and stay safe.Special thanks to Espresso A Mano, Pittsburgh's finest coffee roasters and cafe, for partnering with Fly Penguins Fly podcast.

Hour 1: Jeff Passan slammed Bob Nutting and his perception around baseball yesterday. Which show at the station would win a Fan golf outing? And an NHL insider makes a chilling prediction for the Penguins. Hour 2: The Pomp & Joe Show got into a heated argument yesterday over Barry Bonds. Is Pittsburgh about to make a bid for a major sporting event? And is Dom the Mariano Rivera of grilling? Hour 3: Chris Carter joins the show to talk all things Steelers! Justin Tucker has been suspended by the NFL. And did Dom take another shot at Austin Bechtold? Hour 4: Noah Hiles joins the show in-studio for the whole hour! How important is it to be a good hang? Is Ben Cherington up to something big ahead of the trade deadline? And which Pirates will get traded before the deadline?

The Post-Gazette's Adam Bittner and Jason Mackey size up the NFL free agent wide receiver market now that Aaron Rodgers is officially in the fold for the Steelers as QB. Should GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin be targeting Amari Cooper as one of the biggest names remaining? Allen Lazard as one of Rodgers' personal favorites? Or could they still convince Keenan Allen to come to Pittsburgh to play alongside names like DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson and Robert Woods? Our duo tackles those topics, as well as Jason's column on why Rodgers is the most important person in Pittsburgh sports right now. Then the guys pivot to hockey ahead of the NHL draft later this week. Should GM Kyle Dubas look to trade up? Or hold onto both of his first-round picks? Could he move draft capital to add firepower around Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang? Move out bad contracts to guys Erk Karlsson, Ryan Graves and Tristan Jarry? Or could names like Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust be on the trade block? Then in the third segment, airing on the PG's Pirates YouTube channel, Adam and Jason analyze recent hot streaks for players including Spencer Horwitz and Nick Gonzales. Are they sustainable in the long run or just the latest flashes in the plan? Could those two guys preserve GM Ben Cherington's job by playing well? What should manager Don Kelly do with the struggling Oneil Cruz? Why is Bubba Chandler having trouble in the minors? And should Andrew McCutchen have a roster spot with this team next year if he continues to perform?

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: James Palmer is hearing there is a chance T.J. Watt gets over $40 million from the Steelers. Paying Watt over $40 million is extravagant. Do the Steelers need to sign Watt before Parsons? Jay Glazer thinks Tomlin-Rodgers is a 'perfect match.' Joe included Sidney Crosby, Ben Roethlisberger, Evgeni Malkin, Andrew McCutchen, Troy Polamalu

Joe included Sidney Crosby, Ben Roethlisberger, Evgeni Malkin, Andrew McCutchen, Troy Polamalu. McCutchen is one of only three players in Pittsburgh this century to win an MVP. Malkin won Rookie of the Year, MVP, two scoring titles, playoff MVP, and three Stanley Cups. Mario Lemieux is the only other Pittsburgh sports athlete to win Rookie of the Year, MVP, and playoff MVP.

Joe Starkey said yesterday that Evgeni Malkin is more talented than Sidney Crosby. Crowley says Malkin is the closest thing we had since Mario Lemieux. Pat compares this to Tiger-Jack. Where does Jaromir Jagr factor into this?

Hour 3: Did Crowley laugh at an inappropriate time during the show? Who is the better all-time player, Sidney Crosby or Evgeni Malkin? And Dorin hosts Quiz Intern Dom.

Hour 1: Are the Pirates about to trade some stars before the deadline? Paul Skenes was pulled after only four innings yesterday. And the guys turn the show into an opportunity to listen to their favorite songs. Hour 2: Is this Pirates season the most disappointing first-half in Pittsburgh sports history? Do the producers at The Fan get along? And why hasn't Penn State produced a franchise NFL QB recently? Hour 3: Did Crowley laugh at an inappropriate time during the show? Who will have had the better career start, Najee Harris or Kaleb Johnson? And Dorin hosts Quiz Intern Dom. Hour 4: Who has been the most disappointing Pirate this season? The NHL is expanding its regular season. And Jeff Hathhorn joins the show to talk about everything going on with the Pirates and Steelers.

Should T.J. Watt be in our top five Pittsburgh athletes of the past 25 years? Watt should be a 3x Defensive Player of the Year. We would have to bump Andrew McCutchen, Evgeni Malkin, or Troy Polamalu. Jeff Patton of Baseball Card Castle joined the show with a Nick Gonzales signed card for Starkey's Card of the Week.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise explains why he feels the Steelers, Penguins and Pirates can all learn valuable lessons from the Oklahoma City Thunder's run to an NBA championship this season. For the Steelers, he looks at the Thunder's willingness to deal star Paul George in exchange for current stars like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and wonders if GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin should be more willing to part with names like T.J. Watt, Minkah Fitzpatrick and Cam Heyward in pursuit of draft capital. On the Penguins front, he feels GM Kyle Dubas could benefit from a willingness to move on from Stanley Cup winners like Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang. And with regard to the Pirates, he sees a need for greater player development than the club has demonstrated under GM Ben Cherington.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to ponder some Steelers over/unders for the 2025 season. Will Aaron Rodgets surpass 3,200 yards and 22 touchdowns? Will either Jaylen Warren or Kaleb Johnson threaten the 1,000-yard mark? Can DK Metcalf get over the 1,000-yard threshold that's been a problem for Steelers receivers including George Pickens in recent years? And how many sacks will T.J. Watt record? Our duo tackles those questions, plus some Penguins topics. Can GM Kyle Dubas and new coach Dan Muse return this club to Stanley Cup caliber in short order? Or is there too big a gap with the back-to-back champion Florida Panthers right now? What should we make of conflicting reports about Evgeni Malkin's future? Will this season definitely be his last in the NHL? Or could he come back for another chance to win next to Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang? And how seriously should we take a potential sale of the team back to Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle? Then in the third segment, airing on the PG's Pirates YouTube channel, the guys talk about malaise that has set in after an encouraging early run from manager Don Kelly's team following Derek Shelton's firing. Are fans beginning to tune out? Why hasn't Ben Cherington made a move to salvage the season, as owner Bob Nutting had suggested might be possible? Could Ke'Bryan Hayes and Mitch Keller be among names that are moved before the trade deadline? Why hasn't Tommy Pham been cut yet? And did the Pirates miss an opportunity to create some must-see TV by matching up Paul Skenes and Tarik Skubal during a double header against the Detroit Tigers?

Jason Mackey joins the show to talk about why we didn't get Paul Skenes-Tarik Skubal today, if Connor McDavid could actually be a Penguin soon, if Evgeni Malkin retires after next season, the biggest Penguins move this offseason, and more!

Reflecting on seeing Brad Marchand win a Stanley Cup the season he was traded to the Florida Panthers, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson wonder if the Penguins should do the same with Evgeni Malkin.

Evgeni Malkin won't be playing in Pittsburgh passed the 2025-2026 NHL season and if the Penguins decide to recoup assets for their pending UFA, the Montreal Canadiens would be the perfect landing spot.

Steigerwald on Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle buying back the Penguins: "I don't see any other factors right now that would lead me to believe that's going to happen." All signs are pointing to this being Evgeni Malkin's final season. How much longer will Tommy Pham be here?

Paul Steigerwald remembers Steve Reich and the kindness he showed for people and always had time for others.

In this hour, Adam Crowley wonders whether or not the Steelers are a better team now than they were last season. Also, is Evgeni Malkin going to retire soon? June 17, 2025, 6:00 Hour

After reports about Evgeni Malkin considering retirement, Adam Crowley wonders how beneficial it would be if the Steelers were to trade him sometime before next season.

Adam Crowley discusses a report that suggests Evgeni Malkin is considering retiring from professional hockey soon.

It was reported that Evgeni Malkin will be playing his last year as a Pittsburgh Penguin. Poni says thank you for the years of service and championships, but it is okay that the Penguins want to move on. Poni says it won't make him sick to see him in another jersey.

Evgeni Malkin, Rob Rossi, and more

Rob Rossi joins the program. What does Rob think about the Josh Yohe report about Malkin leaving Pittsburgh after this season. He says that not only will Malkin leave, but so will Alex Ovechkin back to Russia. Poni and Rossi agree that this Penguins team has the potential to be one of the worst in the entire league this year. Good timing for the Gavin McKenna sweepstakes.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: According to Pens reporter Josh Yohe, Evgeni Malkin is reportedly not going to be back with the Penguins following the 2025-26 campaign when his contract is done. Andrew McCutchen said the baseballs are dying at the warning track and he asked the MLB about it and they said there's nothing they can do about it. We think the Florida Panthers will win the NBA Finals. Should T.J. McConnell plays more in the playoffs?

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: A recent national baseball story did not include Ben Cherington as someone on the hot seat. Buster Olney points to Seattle and Baltimore. We wonder if the GM is too comfortable. Can the Pirates trade part of their pitching to acquire a bat? When can you determine if a young guy can hit? Josh Yohe is reporting that the 2025-26 season will be Evgeni Malkin's last with the Penguins.

Evgeni Malkin is reportedly not going to be back with the Penguins following the 2025-26 campaign when his contract is done. Evgeni Malkin trivia. Austin does a decent job. The Pirates have 89 games left and Joe thinks if they add one star bat, they will be a .500 team the rest of the season. Andrew McCutchen said the baseballs are dying at the warning track and he asked the MLB about it and they said there's nothing they can do about it.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey and Penguins insider Matt Vensel react to the team's hiring of New York Rangers assistant Dan Muse as head coach, replacing Mike Sullivan, over names including Mitch Love and D.J. Smith. Did GM Kyle Dubas make the right choice? What can Muse do to lift veterans including Sidney Crosby, Kris Letang, Evgeni Malkin, Bryan Rust and Tristan Jarry? How can he help the development of young talents including Ville Koivunen, Rutger McGroarty and Sergei Murashov? And is he the guy who can get the franchise back to Stanley Cup contention? Or is he more of a bridge coach? Our duo tackles those questions and more.
