Mario put up 76 points in 43 games. Joe thinks it was the biggest story he's ever covered. Sidney Crosby coming back from concussions. James Harrison retired and came back to the Steelers. Rod Woodson returned from a torn ACL to play in the Super Bowl. James Conner coming back from battling cancer was incredible.

Where are we with ownership? The Hoffmann's are taking over with the sun setting. The Hoffmann Family is welcoming back Mario Lemieux and Bob expects the Hoffmann's to put Mario in a "prominent position" and the welcome mat out. We are near the end of the Sidney Crosby era. The Penguins don't have prospects who are going to be stars. There are a ton of ifs.
The Hoffmann's said they want Mario Lemieux involved. Tyler Kennedy joins and thinks the Hoffmann's hit the presser out of the park. TK has new teeth at Cranberry Dental! He also has new hair! Joe is willing to give up a first round pick and Ben Kindel for Jason Robertson. NHL players are more in control of where they want to go. TK thinks it's good for the NHL. Many players are leaving Canada to play in warmer weather and also no state tax.
Geoff Hoffmann is hopeful that Mario Lemieux will be involved with the Penguins. Jeff Hathhorn said that Lemieux doesn't want to be involved day-to-day but wants to feel welcome at games and come when he wants. Mario disappeared with Fenway. Geoff Hoffmann said this is not an investment and they will do everything for the Penguins to win in Pittsburgh.
Hour 4 with Joe Starkey and Jeff Hathhorn: Geoff Hoffmann is hopeful that Mario Lemieux will be involved with the Penguins. Jeff said that Lemieux doesn't want to be involved day-to-day but wants to feel welcome at games and come when he wants. Mario disappeared with Fenway. Geoff Hoffmann said this is not an investment and they will do everything for the Penguins to win in Pittsburgh. Jeff Hathhorn thinks Kyle Dubas is going to try and be active to acquire a star. Jeff thinks the Pirates need two bullpen arms
Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Where are we with ownership? The Hoffmann's are taking over with the sun setting. The Hoffmann Family is welcoming back Mario Lemieux and Bob expects the Hoffmann's to put Mario in a "prominent position" and the welcome mat out. Pens fans want to see the group involved, but hands off and not overstepping.
We were introduced to the Hoffmann family today as they spoke for the first time to the media since becoming the official owners of the Penguins. What were our thoughts hearing from the new leaders of the Penguins? It sounds like this group is going to give Kyle Dubas a lot of power. When will he make his next big move? A small one was made earlier today. Another positive point for the new Penguins owners – they want Mario Lemieux to be involved. Donny Football Debrief – What is going on at McKeesport?
The Penguins have been officially sold to the Hoffmann's. The deal is for about $1.75 billion from Fenway Sports Group to the Hoffmann Family of Companies. How should we remember FSG? We remember how they alienated Mario Lemieux and the Hoffmann's are going to bring him back. FSG left the Penguins better than they found it. Poni suggested giving up Ben Kindel and a first-round pick for Jason Robertson.
Tyler Kennedy joins the show to talk about possible trades the Penguins could make in the upcoming weeks, if the Pens would have to give up Ben Kindel in a blockbuster move, what direction Mario Lemieux will want the Penguins to take, and more!
The Pittsburgh Penguins legend gives his thoughts on the situation surrounding the Fenway Sports Group and what caused them to sell the team.
The Penguins are officially being sold to the Hoffmann Family. This is new hope. Mario Lemieux could also be a part of the ownership group. Poni thinks we are closer to big moves for the Penguins than the Pirates. Dan Kingerski thinks Jason Robertson checks every box for Kyle Dubas.
Hour 1 with Andrew Fillipponi: The Penguins are officially being sold to the Hoffmann Family. This is new hope. Mario Lemieux could also be a part of the ownership group. Poni thinks we are closer to big moves for the Penguins than the Pirates. Dan Kingerski thinks Jason Robertson checks every box for Kyle Dubas. Dallas has a problem with cap space and Kyle Dubas is looking for a star. PM Team Sports Court - The NFL has denied Brendan Sorsby the right to be in the NFL Supplemental Draft this season.

Welcome in to this episode of Next on the Tee, where golf legends live and your game gets better. This week, I've got three terrific guests that I have the privilege of sharing with you. They share great stories, valuable golf insights, and tips that can help you play better and enjoy the game even more. Leading off is PGA Professional and PGA TOUR Champions player Rob Labritz. Rob takes us inside one of America's most iconic major championship venues, Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, and shares his thoughts on what players will face at the upcoming U.S. Open. He also discusses his experiences playing legendary courses around the world, including Old Head Golf Links in Ireland, golf in Australia, and Oakmont Country Club. Plus, Rob reveals a simple yet highly effective putting drill designed to help golfers make more of those pressure-packed 4-to-6-foot putts that can make or break a round. Next, renowned sports psychologist and "The Confidence Doctor" Dr. Bob Winters returns to discuss one of the most overlooked aspects of golf performance: happiness on the golf course. Drawing inspiration from LPGA legend Nancy Lopez, Dr. Bob shares powerful mental game strategies for maintaining a positive attitude, managing frustration, and enjoying the game regardless of your score. If you've ever struggled with keeping your confidence after a bad shot or rough stretch of holes, this segment is really going to help... Rounding out the show is former NHL star and five-time American Century Classic winner Dan Quinn. Dan shares stories from his friendship with hockey legend Mario Lemieux, memories of playing Oakmont, and why Shinnecock Hills remains his favorite golf course. He also discusses the growing Pro Tour, where former professional athletes compete at a high level, and gives his thoughts on the Stanley Cup Finals. Whether you're looking for golf instruction, putting tips, mental game coaching, U.S. Open insights, Champions Tour stories, golf course recommendations, or behind-the-scenes conversations with athletes who love the game, this episode delivers it all. #NextOnTheTee #GolfPodcast #GolfLife #GolfTips #GolfInstruction #USOpen #USOpenGolf #ShinnecockHills #PGATourChampions #RobLabritz #GolfMentalGame #GolfPsychology #DrBobWinters #PuttingTips #GolfPerformance #GolfConfidence #NancyLopez #OakmontCountryClub #OldHeadGolfLinks #DanQuinn #MarioLemieux #CelebrityGolf #AmericanCenturyChampionship #TheProTour #GolfFans #GolfCommunity #GolfNews #GolfTalk #GolfersOfInstagram #GolfAddict

This weekend we welcome back Nicole Miller! We check out trailers for “Couture” and “Little Brother.” Then, it's properly preparing for comedy, the clothes of the 1950s, and mispronouncing the word “croissant.” Plus, we learn a little about Mario Lemieux, and discuss the surprising success of the Big Bang Theory spinoff shows. Oh, and Hilton didn't like Taskmaster.
Gang's back, Mad-town is Sad-town, and none of us can pick a Clark Cup series to save our lives. Drew, Sydney, and Peter run through a Clark Cup Playoff update, go over the USHL Phase I and Phase II Drafts, highlight a few recent commits and de-commits, and then yammer on for way too long about Mario Lemieux and the Q. Hope you enjoy.
Jeremy and David Chase kick off Episode 311 of Sports Cards Live with a full recap of the Sport Card Expo, including athlete interviews, stage appearances, late-night hobby hangs, and Jeremy's biggest pickup showcase yet. From Jackie Robinson game-used memorabilia to Mario Lemieux patches, Patrick Roy autos, Barry Sanders relics, Tiger Woods inserts, and vintage basketball, Jeremy shares the cards that followed him home from Toronto and explains why memorabilia cards have become a major focus of his collecting journey. Then Leighton Sheldon joins the show to explain why he missed Expo after getting pulled into a massive vintage collection deal featuring a complete 1964 Topps Baseball set built pack-by-pack in real time during the 1960s. The conversation turns into a hilarious debate over whether Leighton got “worked” by the seller, hobby priorities, old-school collectors, and the realities of chasing collections. The episode also features: Jeremy's Expo behind-the-scenes stories Hanging out with James Beckett in Toronto The impossible 1990 Pro Set Stanley Cup hologram pull David Chase launching his new show with Midlife Greg Thoughts on memorabilia cards, patches, and eye appeal The rise of hockey content creators and community podcasts Why certain vintage relic cards still feel undervalued
Tee Time For Pittsburgh 05/06/26 The Pittsburgh Penguins' 2025-26 campaign has come to an end. Eliminated in an overtime, Game 6 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, the Pens overachieved and bowed out early. No harm, no foul. We all got extra hockey, the organization generated some playoff revenue from tickets, concessions, and merch, and after a slow start, we were all treated to some thrilling hockey in Games three through six. Jeff and Jordan recap the season that was, discussing - among other things - Evgeni Malkin's future with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Game Six: Balboa Penguins Force Philly Return 04/29/26 No one saw any of this coming, so each shift we behold - with Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang together in the Stanley Cup Playoffs - is a gift to Penguins fans around the world. And yet we find ourselves riveted by the drama, as number eighty-seven and his scrappy, resilient team pushes through the reedy swamp of the most unlikely of comebacks. The Flyers, after jumping out to a three games to none lead, have stumbled while the Pens have surged. Former Calder Cup MVP and Penguins net minder Arturs Silovs stood tall in games four and five, and heretofore absent elements to the Penguins' postseason game: Depth scoring, Superstars getting going, just to name a couple, have arrived at either just the right moment …or a little bit too late. Either way, we're being treated to a classic. A Keystone State Battle to write home about. Tonight the Penguins visit Philadelphia for what will either be their storybook season's final tilt or, as some die-hard Penguins fans assert and hope: one more salvo in the name of a reverse sweep. Make no mistake: The Flyers faithful are sweating this game. Enjoy the podcast - Jeff and Jordan are back with you for some spirited Penguins hockey talk. Also, special thanks to Hunter and Jacob, a couple of newly minted hockey fans who came in through the ‘Heated Rivalry' side-entrance. Jeff met them at a local coffee shop, spotting them in some crisp, new Rakell / Crosby jerseys and simply had to ask them for a quick chat.

Dr. Beckett discusses the tricky definition of “GOAT,” arguing there can be more than one and that championships can be overemphasized, especially for great players on weak teams. Using examples like Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan vs. peers, Gretzky vs. Mario Lemieux, and Brady surpassing Montana, he explains how hobby demand and card prices often become logarithmic, with the top name far outpacing the “silver medal” tier. He urges collectors to be discerning buyers, consider individual accolades (top three MVP voting, All-Pro/All-NBA), and look for “near-GOATs” or players in the GOAT conversation rather than always chasing the apex at any price. He also notes the risks of unsustainable hype similar to rookie-card spikes, and how personal “my GOAT” narratives can drive collecting. 00:24 What Makes a GOAT 01:23 Winning vs Greatness 01:47 Rankings and Podiums 04:17 GOAT Talk for Collectors 08:19 Stats and Individual Accolades 09:54 Beyond the One True GOAT 11:27 Personal GOAT Stories 12:23 Pick Your Own GOAT
“X” Men 04/12/26 The Pittsburgh Penguins are going back to the Stanley Cup Playoffs!! Needless to say, Jordan and Jeff are beside themselves with unadulterated joy, personified by the sign-offs you'll hear at the conclusion of today's episode. Sidney, Kris, Evgeni, Erik, Bryan, and Ben all sat and rested their weary bones for yesterday's 6-3 loss to Ovechkin and the visiting Washington Capitals, but the big boys will PLAY today as the Caps make their final regular season home-ice appearance.

Florida Men 04/02/26 Nothing says ice hockey like FLORIDA, as for the past two NHL seasons no hockey club has been more successful than the FLORIDA Panthers. And if it's Florida hockey yinz want, then you're in luck - the Penguins tonight kick off a three-game stint versus the Lightning and Panthers. Tonight's game versus the Bolts will be played in Tampa, with the Cats curling up in Pittsburgh for a back-to-back residency at PPG Paints Arena on Saturday and Sunday. The Tampa team looks pretty darned dangerous and it's never wise to count out a reigning Stanley Cup champ, regardless of (the Panthers' mounting) ongoing injuries. Here's a link to Luke Temple's "Florida," a favorite song of mine. - Jeff Taylorhttps://music.apple.com/us/album/florida/677360515?i=677360696 Very special thanks to Espresso A Mano, Pittsburgh's finest coffee roasters and cafe, for partnering with Fly Penguins Fly podcast.

Tyler was at the Mario Lemieux fantasy camp for the last few days. He is a little sluggish today. Tyler tells us some stories from the fantasy camp, at least ones that are safe for air. Who has worn the number 49 for the Penguins?
Lords Of The Shootout 03/27/26 As we've been saying for YEARS, the Pittsburgh Penguins are the Lords Of The Shootout, striking fear into the hearts of any opposing team's goaltender.. etc, etc. We kid, we kid. Back-to-back shootout victories for your Pittsburgh Penguins are of course unheard of and downright unexpected - but the Steel City's flagship hockey club managed the feat nonetheless, besting ace goaler, Linus Ullmark for a massive 2-point party in the capital of Canada. As of today's posting (Fri March 27, 2026) the Penguins are in sole possession of 2nd place in the Metropolitan division. The podcast you're listening to was recorded the day before said game, on the heels of two epic home losses to the NHL's top teams, Carolina and Colorado.

Joe thinks FSG are like emotionally removed parents that never connected with Mario Lemieux and the fan base. Austin isn't willing to give a rounding thank you to Fenway Sports Group, but thinks they do deserve credit. Joe thinks we should thank Fenway Sports Group for everything Kyle Dubas has done this year and not dwell on the past few years because the current and future are in good shape.

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.

Send JD a text message and be heard!On today's #podcast @ivangluck18 a #holocaust survivor 87 years young has a simple credo: love each other, always assist others to reach their goals and the good guys will win. When the Nazis came to Hungary they didn't care if Jewish people were reformed, conservative or orthodox. He has been a @nyrangers fan since immigrating to NYC and learned the game of #hockey which led to a tryout invitation from the @detroitredwings but instead chose faith and family over a potential @nhl career. Hockey taught him life lessons: a game of inches, teamwork, camaraderie and unity whether winning or losing. When you get knocked down you get back up. He practiced with the Jerusalem Capitals before the @theofficialiehl last year & @waynegretzky sent a message to the team and Mr. Gluck. At 67 he tried out for the Israeli baseball league. Ran the 100 yard dash and finished 7th out of 85. Was solid with the bat and glove too. He has spoken to students in Florida where he resides about the Holocaust and told me a great story where it led to a connection with the @flapanthers GM Bill Zito. His passion for life is infectious. We have both dealt with antisemitism and one time used his brains to show some bullies that polio was invented by a Jewish doctor, Dr. Jonas Salk. The fight was averted.All sports. One podcast. (even hockey) PODCAST LINK ON ITUNES: http://bit.ly/JDTSPODCAST
Wayne Gretzky joins Neil Smith and Vic Morren for the very first NHL Wraparound episode. The Great One discusses Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers' remarkable 22-3 turnaround in their last 25 games, Connor Bedard adapting after Brendan Smith's legal jaw-breaking hit, generational players from Bobby Orr through Sidney Crosby to Austin Matthews potentially reaching 800 goals, and Alex Ovechkin's chase of 894.

Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne are joined by NHL on Sportsnet host David Amber in-studio (0:26) to chat about general manager Bill Guerin turning the Minnesota Wild into a destination for NHL players with the bold move of trading for Quinn Hughes. Then, they discuss if Connor McDavid can surpass Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux in points per game in the regular season, whether Connor Bedard's injury could impact his spot on Team Canada, who would round out the Olympic roster, and the state of the Canadian NHL teams before the holiday break. Later, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee look at the St. Louis Blues roster and landing spots for some of their players, if Jordan Binnington can earn another big contract, and the Pittsburgh Penguins selling the franchise to the Hoffmann family.
