Primanti's dropped off sandwiches and pickle bread today! The NHL released its schedule yesterday and a couple of hours later, MLB released its schedule. We were stunned baseball announced its schedule on the same day as the NHL. They announced it months before they usually do and we don't even know if there will be baseball in 2027.

Tyler Kennedy thinks the NHL is "watering the product down' with the schedule by going to 84 games. He thinks teams will rest players and more injuries will occur. TK thinks there will be "load management" in the NHL now with 84 games.

Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. It took Anthony Mantha 2 weeks to sign with someone and that team was the New Jersey Devils. It was for less term and money than we expected, maybe due to his disappearing act in the playoffs. What is the Penguins' free agent strategy and how they are playing things with their young players? Is Jason Robertson still a possibility? TK had a cup of coffee with the Devils, so they wanted his scouting report on how Mantha may enjoy it (or not). The guys joked about the Alex Ovechkin diet. Does that make you appreciate his greatness more? Could we get any good Sidney Crosby drinking stories out of TK?

Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill react to the Maple Leafs' 2026-27 season opener officially being set. Toronto will kick off the new campaign at Scotiabank Arena on September 29 against the Montreal Canadiens. The boys also weigh in on the Detroit Red Wings moving on from Steve Yzerman as general manager.They then discuss Brandon Pridham officially joining the Pittsburgh Penguins, where he'll reunite with former Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas. The move comes nearly two months after Toronto parted ways with Pridham on May 17, ending his 12-year run with the organization. The conversation continues with reports linking the Maple Leafs to former Bruins executive Evan Gold. After 11 years in Boston, the Toronto native is moving on, and according to The Boston Globe's Kevin Dupont, there were hints over the weekend that Gold could be headed to Toronto's front office.Plus, former NHL goaltender and longtime broadcaster Darren Pang stops by to discuss Sergei Bobrovsky, the Maple Leafs' busy offseason, and why he believes there's plenty of reason for optimism heading into the 2026-27 season.

Could the Stars trade Jason Robertson to the Pittsburgh Penguins? Gavin Spittle and Sean Shapiro propose a trade scenario that would benefit both teams. In 2028, some big names in the NHL will be free agents. Why haven't teams signed some of these big-name free agents yet? Will Connor Hellebuyck stay in Winnipeg?

The Boston Bruins exceeded expectations during the 2025-26 season, rebounding from one of the worst campaigns in franchise history to earn the second Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. Although their postseason ended with a six-game first-round loss to the Buffalo Sabres, Boston's dramatic turnaround under first-year head coach Marco Sturm restored optimism throughout the organization. Neil Smith and Vic Morren examine how the Bruins rediscovered their identity, why several players enjoyed career-best seasons, and whether this surprising success is sustainable heading into another critical offseason for General Manager Don Sweeney.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] The Bruins return to the Stanley Cup Playoffs after finishing as the second Wild Card team in the Eastern Conference before falling to Buffalo in six games. Neil and Vic revisit Boston's dismal 2024-25 season, which included the fewest goals in the Eastern Conference, one of the league's worst goal differentials, poor special teams, Jeremy Swayman's struggles, and the departure of longtime captain Brad Marchand.[00:01:00] Despite modest offseason additions that included Victor Arvidsson, Tanner Jeannot, and Sean Kuraly, along with the hiring of first-time NHL head coach Marco Sturm, expectations remained low entering the season. Neil explains why few believed Boston would be anything more than David Pastrnak carrying an otherwise rebuilding roster.[00:02:00] Marco Sturm quickly changes the culture. Boston improves dramatically defensively while becoming one of the NHL's best home teams. Offensively, the Bruins score 50 more goals than the previous season as Morgan Geekie, Pavel Zacha, Charlie McAvoy, Victor Arvidsson, Casey Mittelstadt, Fraser Minten, Marat Khusnutdinov, and several newcomers enjoy breakout or career-best seasons.[00:04:00] The discussion turns to Boston's vastly improved blue line. Jonathan Aspirot emerges as an unexpected contributor, Mason Lohrei makes a remarkable turnaround from minus-43 to plus-17, and Nikita Zadorov develops into the physical defensive presence the Bruins had hoped for after signing him.[00:05:00] While Boston's power play jumps from 29th to ninth in the NHL, the penalty kill remains a concern. Neil explains that the larger issue isn't simply killing penalties but avoiding unnecessary trips to the penalty box after the Bruins finished as the league's most frequently penalized team.[00:06:00] Neil and Vic discuss how Boston appeared to regain its trademark identity despite losing Brad Marchand at the previous trade deadline. Don Sweeney, heavily criticized one year earlier, now receives credit for many of the offseason and in-season moves that helped fuel Boston's unexpected playoff run.[00:06:45] Attention shifts to the offseason. The Bruins enter the 2026 NHL Draft with seven selections, including three fourth-round picks, while continuing to benefit from previous trades involving Charlie Coyle, Jeffrey Viel, and Lucas Reichel. Boston also prepares to welcome highly regarded prospect James Hagens for his first full NHL season.[00:07:30] Free agency presents relatively few challenges. Victor Arvidsson headlines the unrestricted free agents after a bounce-back season, while Lucas Reichel and Jordan Harris top the restricted free agent list. Neil believes re-signing Arvidsson should be one of Don Sweeney's highest priorities.[00:08:00] Neil emphasizes that Boston's biggest objective moving forward is injecting more youth into the lineup while remaining competitive. James Hagens represents an important first step, but the Bruins must continue balancing veteran leadership with younger talent to sustain long-term success.[00:09:00] The episode concludes by comparing Boston's surprising season to recent campaigns by the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins, where numerous players enjoyed career years before regression followed. Neil and Vic debate whether Boston's breakout performances from Morgan Geekie, Pavel Zacha, Charlie McAvoy, and others represent a sustainable foundation or a difficult act to repeat in 2026-27.

Jeff Hatthorn joins the show! Does Jeff have hope that the Pirates make the playoffs? He believes they can make it especially if Paul Skenes pitches better in the second half. He also points out that Braxton Ashcraft is entering uncharted territory regarding innings pitched. Jeff also says he does not care what it costs for someone like Josh Hader or Aroldis Chapman because everything else on the team is there. Who is more likely to be cut: Roman Wilson or Mason Rudolph? Status quo on everything related to Jason Robertson. Could the Penguins offer sheet Connor Bedard?

Who wants to be smarter than a plumber? South Side Jake apologizes for missing last week's show. I got a hockey question wrong. The guys get one question right. The MLB had the youngest player ever drafted who then actually played for the Pirates in the 1979 season.

He was selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 1992 National Hockey League Draft and went on to play with both them and the Minnesota Wild. Along the way in his professional hockey career, he also played for Cleveland and Kansas City of the International Hockey League and Syracuse, Adirondack, and Worcester of the American Hockey League. He also played two seasons in Switzerland. In 1996 he won a bronze medal playing for Team USA at the world championships in Austria. He had played his college hockey at the University of Minnesota and in his senior season there won the Hobey Baker Award, given to the most outstanding collegiate hockey player in the NCAA. Prior to his time as a Golden Gopher, he had been named Minnesota Mr. Hockey as the most outstanding senior high school hockey player in that state.

On this episode of Tip of the Ice-Burgh, Nick Belsky breaks down his trade tiers for several potential late-summer trade targets for the Pittsburgh Penguins. He also explains why defenseman Owen Pickering could be poised for a much bigger role in 2026-27 and questions whether there's still a place for forward Justin Brazeau after the best season of his career—tune in!   Check out our latest episodes

Amidst the Jason Robertson speculation, one NHL insider believes the Pittsburgh Penguins could be a good landing spot for Canucks' forward Elias Pettersson.    Check out our latest episodes

On this episode of Tip of the Ice-Burgh, Nick Belsky breaks down whether Sidney Crosby can return to the 100-point plateau during the 2026-27 season. He also reacts to an NHL insider naming the Pittsburgh Penguins as a potential landing spot for Canucks center Elias Pettersson and reveals his updated Top 10 Penguins prospects rankings following the 2026 NHL Draft and Development Camp—tune in! Check out our latest episodes

The Anaheim Ducks MATCHED Leo Carlson's contract offer from Philadelphia and signed him to a five year deal, worth $18 million! Joe thinks this is a way for the Penguins to bring in a star and would try to acquire Connor Bedard.

Do the Penguins have their eyes on Elias Pettersson? That could be their new target if the Jason Robertson sweepstakes fall through. One problem… the Poni scuttlebutt isn't good. He got a message from someone around the Canucks that gave a pretty horrid review of Pettersson and his overall attitude. This sounds like a situation the Penguins should just stay away from.

For the second consecutive summer, Kyle Dubas has significantly shuffled his defense core, but could the current group be the one the kicks off the season for the Pittsburgh Penguins?   Check out our latest episodes

Ryan O'Hearn put together one of the best games in Pirates and MLB history with three home runs and a Pirate record 10 RBIs. What's the greatest individual performance you've ever seen in person? Bob and Lisa were at the game where Mario Lemieux scored five goals five different ways. Ben Roethlisberger throwing for 500 yards in back to back games. What are the best individual performances in Pittsburgh sports history?

Pitt historian Sam Sciullo joined the show. Sam was at the game that Tony Dorsett ran for 303 yards against Notre Dame. Penguins historian Paul Steigerwald joined the show. Steigy was on the broadcast with Mike Lange when Mario Lemieux scored five goals five ways. Steigy said you could tell early in a game if Mario was on his elite game and doing something special. Mario Lemieux has 49 shorthanded goals. Jeff Patton of Baseball Card Castle joined the show.

Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. Jason Robertson reportedly wants to play with his brother, who the Penguins traded for and signed last week. But just because the Penguins have Nicholas Robertson that doesn't guarantee them to get Jason. At this stage, it will require a trade and the Stars could be looking for a massive haul. If the move requires Ben Kindel going back, should that be a hold up? The Pens have been linked to Elias Pettersson, who has a few 30-goal seasons under his belt. Is Pittsburgh still an attractive place to play thanks to Sidney Crosby?

Two big fish remain on the table for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Would it be better for them to try and trade for Dallas Stars winger Jason Robertson? Or to sign Connor Bedard to a historic offer sheet?   Check out our latest episodes

The Penguins signed forward Egor Chinakhov to a three-year contract worth $6.25 million per season. Joe thinks it's a fair deal. Arturs Silovs is back on a one-year deal. Joe thinks the Penguins have a real chance to get Connor Bedard on an offer sheet. The Penguins would have to give up four first-round picks. The Flyers offered Leo Carlson a contract that would make them trade four first-round picks. 

On this episode of Tip of the Ice-Burgh, Nick Belsky and Nick Horwat react to the Pittsburgh Penguins' flurry of RFA signings on Sunday night, highlighted by the major re-signings of Arturs Silovs and Egor Chinakhov. The guys also debate whether the Penguins are actually finished adding to their blue line this offseason and discuss whether Kyle Dubas could jump into an already chaotic offer-sheet season—tune in!

A Bechtold Breakdown! World Cup, NHL Super Teams, and Andrew McCutchen's career is not over yet!

Are the Penguins still looking at Jason Robertson? Penguins fans are still obsessed with Ben Kindel and would not part with him for Robertson. What have the Penguins done so far this offseason? Has it moved the needle at all? Anthony Mantha has not signed anywhere yet. Ryan Shea got a bag from the Edmonton Oilers. Was it too much for a player who just played his first full season in the NHL?

Pomp and Joe 7-3 11 AM Hour

On this episode of Tip of the Ice-Burgh, Nick Belsky recaps the Pittsburgh Penguins' moves on the opening day of NHL free agency and explain why Kyle Dubas remained committed to the organization's long-term plan. He breaks down each signing, discuss why the Penguins avoided handing out risky long-term contracts, evaluate what the new additions bring to the roster, and examine what could still be ahead for Pittsburgh this offseason. Don't miss it! Check out our latest episodes

Tyler is hearing that the Stars are trying to keep Jason Robertson and not trade him. "I'm hearing he's staying in Dallas." The Stars are an older team. Nick Robertson has a high skillset and TK doesn't think trading for Nick was a way to bring Jason here. TK thinks the trade would be done.

The Capitals are re-signing Alex Ovechkin to a one-year deal. They traded for Alex Tuck and signed him to an eight-year deal and brought in Boone Jenner. Would you rather be the Capitals or Penguins? Bob thinks Crosby is going to play until he's 45. We hear from Pirates fans on Paul Skenes and the team losing. 

Paul Skenes' stretch is problematic! Will Jason Robertson come to Pittsburgh? Jason Spezza was asked about Robertson. The Penguins have clear interest and are lacking a star in their prime to build the team around. Jeff doesn't think Erik Karlsson will be on the team this season. Callas barely brushes his teeth!!

Adam Crowley, Dorin Dickerson and Pat Bostick react to the moves the Penguins have made so far this offseason, and they discuss how much they think GM Kyle Dubas should be trusted based on how he's done in his first few seasons with the team.

Stars reporter Robert Tiffin from Stars Thoughts dot com joined the show. Robert was here to give us the latest on what is happening with Jason Robertson. Robert said there are very few players that can score more than Robertson, so the price would be high in a trade, possibly including Bryan Rust along with a few 1st round picks. Robert doesn't know if Erik Karlsson back to Dallas would help the trade go through, but he does have some things in his favor. Robert expects Robertson to end up back in Dallas. Robert listed the number of teams that have been rejected by Robertson and/or the Stars so far. Percentage chance Robertson isn't a Star when next season begins? 20%.

A couple of topics tickled Poni's mind to start today's show. To start, he wants the Penguins to pick a lane. They should attack this free agency period as a rebuilding team or as a team that wants to go for the Stanley Cup. Are fans against the Penguins going after Jason Robertson? Can they do both at the same time? Poni also brought up the World Cup win for Team USA last night that came with controversy when one of their best players was given a red card early in the second half, which will also keep him out for the Round of 16 matchup against Belgium. He said for a country that isn't very into the sport, everyone became an expert with that call.

71 topics: 21-43, Joe Starkey and Austin Bechtold discuss Pittsburgh sports topics.

2. Harry Callas hasn't brushed his teeth since Saturday. 3. Has Jared Triolo earned some playing time? 4. Endy Rodriguez is now 0-14 against lefties 5. Why are there words with silent letters? 6. Billy Cook was in the lineup last night, why though? 7. Is Konnor Griffin the Pirates everyday leadoff hitter?

61. Fake or real tree? 62. Do the Pirates win a playoff series if they make it 63. Will JPJ be the highest paid corner? 64. Hot dogs or hambergers? 65. Are fireworks overrated? 66. Are drone shows better than fireworks?? 67. 7 potential All-Stars who could switch teams 68. Big Ben or Terry Bradshaw 69. Is Penn State going to Adidas helpful 70. Best college basketball coach at Pitt this century 71. Poni or Mueller

The Penguins have acquired Maple Leafs forward Nick Robertson, Jason Robertson's brother. Bubba Chandler had a good start until the seventh inning got away. Chandler has been the Pirates third best pitcher over the last few weeks. Mitch Keller is given too much confidence. Is this the biggest start of Paul Skenes' MLB career?

Jesse Marshall from The Athletic comes on The Fan Hotline to assess the trade that sent D Parker Wotherspoon to the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for D Kaedan Korczak with Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson.

The Penguins don't want to take Darnell Nurse's $9.25 million fully salary in a deal. Would you trade Rickard Rakell and two first round picks for Jason Robertson? Robertson wants $14 million.
