Podcast appearances and mentions of Sidney Crosby

Dustin Nielson and Joaquin Gage are back in the studio with plenty of meat on the bone. Today, they are transitioning from the chaotic offseason rumour mill straight into concrete dates, planning their road trips, and diving deep into a generational hockey nostalgia trip.    On Today's Show: The 84-Game Era Returns: The NHL has officially unleashed its massive 1,344-game regular-season schedule! With the league officially re-expanding to an 84-game slate and starting a bit earlier on September 29th, Dusty and Gager spend a massive chunk of the show circling key dates on the calendar. From the opening night showdown at Rogers Place against Manny Malhotra's Canucks to the brutal mid-winter road trips, the holiday home-stands, and the final stretch to the playoffs—the boys break down the strength of schedule and map out the Oilers' blueprint to the postseason. The Ultimate Oilers "What-If" Matrix: Grab a box of tissues or prepare to get your blood boiling. The boys are opening up the ultimate sliding-doors cabinet in Edmonton franchise history. They debate the massive, course-altering questions that still haunt the City of Champions: What if Chris Pronger never demanded a trade out of town, keeping the championship window open? What if Peter Pocklington's wallet was fat enough to keep Wayne Gretzky, or keep the 1990 dynasty core together before they got stripped for parts? What if the Oilers actually drafted local Alberta phenom Shane Doan (or Jarome Iginla) at the 1995 draft instead of Steve Kelly? What if the Ducks landed Sidney Crosby in the 2005 draft?   2 Guys & a Goalie is presented by GS Construction!

Dr. Tom "The Scientist" Haberstroh, Pulitzer Prize Winner Amin Elhassan... and producer Anthony Mayes wonder if a strike lands in the head area, does it leave a mark? Will LeBron announce his next team at Fanatics Fest this week? Or wait til after the world cup? Or will he continue to keep the whole world right where he wants them: in the cuck chair. Bruce Arthur of the Toronto Star makes his triumphant return to discuss The Neverending Story of Kawhi Leonard, the trade back to the Raptors that was put on hold, how much the salary cap landscape has shifted in only a year and a bunch of references to Sidney Crosby cuz, yknow, Canada. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Illuminati YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Basketball Illuminati is now part of the Count The Dings Network. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Count The Dings Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to support the show, get ad free episodes and exclusive content at⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/countthedings⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ILLUMINATI MERCH HAS RETURNED⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Check it out here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/CTDMERCH⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Basketball Illuminati!

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?

The Brewers made a trade today, acquiring Lance McCullers from the Astros. McCullers hasn't done much of anything in 5 years, but we're sure he will become a great pitcher again because that's how things work in Milwaukee. Poni had 3 names at the ready for the Pirates to target, all left-handed pitchers, heading into the trade deadline. The most attractive name was Robbie Ray, which could cost a pair of prospects, neither of which being in the MLB's Top 100. Is it worth looking into Kyle Freeland, who has been horrible for the Rockies? When was the last time the Pirates didn't have a player play in the All Star Game?

Josh Yohe joins the program to discuss the Pittsburgh Penguins. Jesse and Victor ask about pros Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Bryan Rust, Egor Chinakhov, Rickard Rakell, Justin Brazeau, Tommy Novak, Elmer Soderblom, Ben Kindel, Rutger McGroarty, Erik Karlsson, Kris Letang,  Arturs Silovs, Sergei Murashov, and Joel Blomqvist. In Cat's instincts, Cat Silverman of InGoal magazine joins to discuss prospect goalies Sergei Murashov, Joel Blomqvist, and Gabriel D'Aigle. In the dynasty dig, we break down William Horcoff, Harrison Brunicke, and Joona Vaisanen with the help of reports from FHL lead scout Tony and polls from NHL Rank King Mason Black.Have a listen!

Dom DiTommaso in again for The Early Morning Show! Dom says that a golden opportunity has been presented to Ben Cherington. Stan Savran was apparently a fan of Glee. Dom details a new website that he loves. And should the Penguins try and get Connor Bedard?

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!

A historic night at PNC Park and for Ryan O'Hearn as the Bucco joined the rare 10 RBI Club in the 12-4 win over the Braves. O'Hearn started his night with a Grand Slam followed by a pair of 3-run home runs. It is, at worst, on the medal stand of single-game performances in Pirates history. Where does it rank? We heard from Ryan O'Hearn after last night's game that is among the greatest single-game performances in team history. He said his helmet will be going to Cooperstown. Is the ‘Green Weenie' going to make a comeback? 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?

Serena Williams at age 44 is coming back to tennis. What are the greatest comebacks in Pittsburgh sports history? Mario Lemieux is obviously No. 1 after 3.5 years in retirement. 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. 

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: What are the greatest comebacks in Pittsburgh sports history? Mario Lemieux is obviously No. 1 after 3.5 years in retirement. Mario put up 76 points in 43 games.

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.

Hour 1: Poni thinks he found proof in last night's Pirates game that Don Kelly is not a good manager. Should Paul Skenes not be an All-Star this year? And Tyler Kennedy joins the show to preview the Penguins' upcoming offseason moves. Hour 2: Poni and Dom argue over Ben Roethlisberger and Terry Bradshaw's all-time quarterback rank. Is it possible the Steelers don't extend Joey Porter Jr.? And Mike Florio joins the show to break down the Brendan Sorsby situation. Hour 3: Aditi Kinkhabwala joins the show to weigh in on the Brendan Sorsby situation. Is there going to be an alien invasion at a World Cup game tonight? And Dianna Russini's salary at The Athletic has been released, and Dom has thoughts. Hour 4: Poni and Dom debate who the greatest quarterback in Steelers history is. Dom has a trip to Cedar Point on Friday, but wonders if he'll be allowed in the park. And an ESPN analyst was involved in a car crash earlier this week.

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!

Donny Football joins the show for the next couple hours! Callas drinks a THC drink on the air. Dorin recounts his trip to Kennywood yesterday. And Dan Muse joins the show to talk about his first season with the Penguins!

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: It is nothing short of remarkable to see Jordan Staal, Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang still playing at a high level. Staal became the oldest player in NHL history to win the Conn Smythe. Do you have jumper cables in your car? Is it time to move on from Marcell Ozuna? Does Henry Davis need to go to AAA?

It is nothing short of remarkable to see Jordan Staal, Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang still playing at a high level. Staal became the oldest player in NHL history to win the Conn Smythe. Carolina won the Stanley Cup. Carolina won with a journeyman goaltender and don't have a generational star player but are a great team. Paul Skenes is not a big part of the Pirates problems, but he's not helping. Do you have jumper cables in your car? 

The Stanley Cup Final is well under way and there have been some big comebacks. Will Mitch Marner drive a dagger into Leafs Fans' hearts and win the Conn Smythe? Are the games super exciting or mind-numbingly boring with fits of excitement in between.

Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. Should the Penguins look into the Dylan Larkin availability? TK thinks it's odd that so many players that won gold with Team USA want out of their current situation. Tyler doesn't think it takes much convincing for guys to want to play with Sidney Crosby because at this point, most of the league has watched Sid their entire lives. The guys laughed about Joe Thornton walking around downtown Pittsburgh back when the Penguins and Sharks were facing off in the Stanley Cup Final. TK talked about Jordan Staal having a monster series as the Hurricanes try to win their first cup in 20 years.

Poni doesn't think Don Kelly showed enough fire last night after the Pirates were blown out at PNC Park, which included a disastrous 7th inning. The Dodgers scored TEN times to blow the game wide open and would win it, 12-3. For 6 innings, it was competitive, in front of a big Tuesday crowd in Pittsburgh. Is Kelly just another version of Derek Shelton or is there something hidden in there? Marcell Ozuna failed another challenge last night and he was thrown out on a play that nearly every other player in baseball history would have run out for a base hit. Does he know what a strike is anymore? And can he actually out-run the entire Fan staff? Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. Should the Penguins look into the Dylan Larkin availability?

Hour 1: Joe and Dom explain the Morgan Wallen concert controversy from over the weekend. Should Paul Skenes become the Pirates DH? And how much would Pirates World Series tickets cost? Hour 2: Dan Zangrilli joins the guys in-studio for a heated Pirates debate. Are the Chiefs about to go back to the Super Bowl this year? And Dom says Caleb Williams might become the best QB in the NFL this fall. Hour 3: Dom calls out a Pittsburgh media member over a tweet from this weekend. Joe thinks Sidney Crosby should request a trade to the Sharks. And is Shaquille O'Neal a top-three NBA player ever? Hour 4: Joe and Dom share stories from their golf outing yesterday. Is it a problem that the Pirates had to use an opener for Bubba Chandler this weekend? And is Bohemian Rhapsody an overrated song?

What is the most annoying fan stereotype in sports? Joe says Sidney Crosby should request a trade to the Sharks to help the Penguins. A caller wants the Hall of Fame to reevaluate who they let in. And Brandon Lowe was a hero yesterday!

He also talks about Sidney Crosby walking away empty-handed from World Championships, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins falling behind to Toronto, and previews the 2026 Stanley Cup Final between the Hurricanes and Golden Knights.

Stanley Cup Champion Tyler Kennedy joined the show. TK has gout. TK thinks it's a great thing that Evgeni Malkin is back. Malkin is still very productive and is a good mentor. Malkin was still a point per game guy. If Malkin plays a full season, could he have 75 points?? TK thinks Sidney Crosby may have had a say, but the decision to bring back Malkin had to be up to Kyle Dubas.

A hockey fan in Nova Scotia gave Tyler Kennedy all of his hockey cards. TK once traded hockey sticks with Evgeni Malkin! TK will give Austin a signed Sidney Crosby jersey if he grows out his mustache until Christmas. Who will play the longest and who retires first: Crosby, Malkin, Letang, or Alexander Ovechkin? 

On this episode of Tip of the Ice-Burgh, Nick Belsky and Nick Horwat recap Rickard Rakell's under-the-radar season in 2025-26, and discuss what the future might look like for the Swedish forward.

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey and Tyler Kennedy: Stanley Cup Champion Tyler Kennedy joined the show. Josh Yohe talked to Sidney Crosby and Sid said he'd like to play as long as he can. Yohe suggested five years and Sid said "that would be nice." This is good news for the Penguins. Have the Penguins passed the threshold for a full rebuild?

Sidney Crosby told Josh Yohe that he wants to play multiple years. This is good news for the Penguins. Have the Penguins passed the threshold for a full rebuild? Tyler Kennedy thinks it would take years to come back from a full rebuild. The Penguins don't have their next face of the franchise after Sidney Crosby and is concerning. Would Sidney Crosby be fine with taking a couple steps back to take a couple steps forward?

In this episode of It Happened To Me, we explore clinical neurology, how the brain and nervous system function, what happens when things go wrong, and how recovery and adaptation are possible even after injury or chronic neurological challenges. Our guest is Dr. David Traster, a clinical neurologist and educator who has spent nearly two decades working with patients experiencing complex neurological conditions. His background as an athlete and personal trainer, combined with his own experiences navigating injury and chronic health issues, shaped his interest in helping people improve function through neurological recovery. Dr. Traster has advanced training in concussion, dizziness and vertigo, movement disorders, autonomic nervous system conditions, and childhood developmental disorders. His work focuses on helping patients improve function through neurorehabilitation and targeted exercises, without relying solely on drugs or surgery. In Part 1 of this conversation, Dr. Traster explains what clinical neurology really means and how it differs from the traditional view of neurology as diagnosis, medication, or surgery alone. He shares his own experience as a high-level basketball player whose life changed after a surgery led to years of unexplained symptoms, eventually resulting in a Lyme disease diagnosis. That personal journey shaped how he listens to patients whose symptoms do not fit neatly into a diagnosis. The conversation also explores how the brain responds to injury, including concussion and traumatic brain injury. Dr. Traster explains why recovery often requires more than rest and time, and how targeted exercises involving vision, balance, eye movement, vestibular rehabilitation, and cognitive therapy can help retrain specific brain pathways. Cathy and Dr. Traster also discuss how this approach may apply to patients living with rare or genetic conditions. While neurorehabilitation may not cure an underlying condition, Dr. Traster explains that improving function, balance, movement, and quality of life can still be meaningful and powerful for patients. Dr. Traster also provides a clear explanation of neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to change, strengthen, and reorganize through repeated activity. Dr. Traster breaks down why “brain cells that fire together wire together,” and how learning, movement, repetition, and targeted practice can support healing and adaptation. In This Episode, We Discuss: What clinical neurology is and how it differs from traditional neurology Why the brain may need functional and physics-based approaches, not only chemical interventions Dr. Traster's personal experience with chronic illness, delayed diagnosis, and Lyme disease How being dismissed medically shaped his empathy for patients Why neurological symptoms like dizziness, brain fog, and balance issues can be misunderstood How concussion recovery can involve targeted brain rehabilitation The role of vision, balance, vestibular rehab, eye movement therapy, and cognitive exercises How neurorehabilitation may support patients with genetic or rare conditions Why function and quality of life matter, even when a condition cannot be cured What neuroplasticity means in simple terms How learning, repetition, and practice help strengthen brain connections About Dr. David Traster Dr. David Traster is a clinical neurologist and educator with nearly two decades of experience working with patients experiencing complex neurological conditions. His background as an athlete and personal trainer, along with his own experience navigating injury and chronic health challenges, shaped his approach to neurological recovery and rehabilitation. Dr. Traster has advanced training in concussion, dizziness and vertigo, movement disorders, autonomic nervous system conditions, and childhood developmental disorders.

David is at Disney World, and Rose is in Guatemala, so Roy and Ethan are holding it down in the studio for this edition of The Hockey Show. The two discuss the Islanders' late-season coaching change, letting Patrick Roy go in favor of Peter DeBoer, before diving into the thrilling playoff races in both conferences that could come down to the final day of the regular season. This week's guest is Dave Dameshek, who joins the show to tell Roy and Ethan a story, but ends up yammering at them for much longer than planned about the Pittsburgh Penguins. He also wants to know why people hate Sidney Crosby and ends up in a screaming match with Ethan about it. It's basically Dan's dream edition of The Hockey Show. Learn more about your ad choices.
