Podcast appearances and mentions of Tyler Kennedy

Mark is joined by Tyler Kennedy to start the hour. Noah HIles checks in from the World Cup in Philly, and we Ask Mark Anything! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy comes on The Fan Hotline to discuss what plans the team is likely to execute during the offseason with Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson.

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?

Could the Penguins acquire a top five draft pick? Joe proposes the Penguins trade Erik Karlsson and Rickard Rakell to a team like the Sharks for the second draft pick. Tyler Kennedy doesn't think Rutger McGroarty is fast enough to be a two-six. 

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani, Joe Starkey, and Tyler Kennedy: ordan Staal scored his first Stanley Cup Final goal since '09. TK wants to see some new teams make noise and helps the NHL, where the Golden Knights did a great job putting together the team. Could the Penguins acquire a top five draft pick?

Mark is joined by Tyler Kennedy to talk about Malkin's contract, Noah Hiles joins for some Bucco Banter, and we Ask Mark Anything! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 1 with Donny Football and Tyler Kennedy: 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? Did ownership want Evgeni Malkin back? A hockey fan in Nova Scotia gave Tyler Kennedy all of his hockey cards. TK once traded hockey sticks with Malkin!

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? 

A big win for the Buccos last night, beating the Cubs 12-1 at PNC Park. Another sharp start for Braxton Ashcraft, but is there about to be a problem? Is it a good problem to have? The Pirates have Jared Jones coming back to the rotation, but they have a slew of young arms that are on innings limits. 2 Pirates-Fan contributors have suggested Ashcraft being the man to the bullpen upon Jones' return. That seems like it would be a big much, considering Ashcraft has been the best starter on the team – even better than Paul Skenes. Marcell Ozuna continues to struggle, but the Pirates offense overall has been great. Imagine if this guy begins carrying his weight. Calls on the Pirates pitching predicament. HOCKEY TALK! We haven't heard from usual guest Tyler Kennedy in a few weeks, which has sparked concern about our show. It seems like a few team reporters were swerved by the Evgeni Malkin re-signing. Did ownership push Kyle Dubas to bring Geno back?

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?

TK faced a lot of backlash for proposing a trade for Vincent Trocheck involving a first-round pick and one of Will Horcoff or Bill Zonnon. TK is hearing Evgeni Malkin wants more than one year. He knows it's not about money, but it's about years.

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: TK faced a lot of backlash for proposing a trade for Vincent Trocheck involving a first-round pick and one of Will Horcoff or Bill Zonnon. TK is hearing Evgeni Malkin wants more than one year. He knows it's not about money, but it's about years. Tyler Kennedy thinks if Evgeni Malkin doesn't except one year, that the Penguins should let him walk and Malkin could end up in Washington or in Florida. 

Endy Rodriguez is 2-2 with a double and a two-run single. Tyler Kennedy told us that Evgeni Malkin wants to play two years, but Malkin has said one year. Jeff Hathhorn thinks there is a desire on both sides for one season. Alan Saunders is reporting the Steelers won't play on Christmas Eve or Day. 

Who should be the Penguins goalie next season? Quinn Hughes does not seem happy. Tyler Kennedy thinks if Evgeni Malkin doesn't except one year, that the Penguins should let him walk and Malkin could end up in Washington or in Florida.

Another gem from Paul Skenes as the Pirates beat the Rockies, 3-1 at PNC Park. Skenes tossed 8 scoreless innings for the second consecutive start and carried a no-hitter into the 7th inning. A footnote from the game is the lack of people in the crowd. There were only around 13k tickets sold and fewer than that in the building. It spurred comments about Pittsburgh being a ‘mediocre' baseball town from a retired Pittsburgh sports writer. Is he right? Is it a blackeye on the fans to not have a bigger number at the ballpark? The guys defended Pittsburghers on this one. The Pirates drew 31,000+ fans per game in 2015. Is Pittsburgh a good or lousy baseball town? Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. TK is a member at a local golf course that was rumored to be visited by Aaron Rodgers this weekend, but he didn't have confirmation on that. Will Evgeni Malkin be back? Does Kyle Dubas have something up his sleeve once we hit free agency? With how much power Sidney Crosby has over the organization, how does that factor into the offseason plans? TK told the guys to look out for Vincent Trocheck to be signed by the Penguins. Even at 33, TK said Trocheck does a lot of things that a championship team needs.

Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy comes on The Fan Hotline to discuss how GM Kyle Dubas might be feeling about how this season went ahead of the end-of-season press conference Dubas is scheduled to have on Tuesday.

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. TK says that he does not think Malkin will be a point per game player next season and $5 million would be a fair price. TK says he would be okay with letting Malkin walk and bringing in the new guard. TK says that he does not think Sid would be happy about letting Malkin walk but would ultimately understand it. 

Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy comes on The Fan Hotline to share his thoughts on what the Penguins should do this offseason with Evgeni Malkin with Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson.

Mark continues talking about the Penguins, talks about the Bucs as Skenes gets rocked by the Cardinals. Tyler Kennedy joins the show to talk about the Penguins See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Penguins dug themselves too big of a gap going down 3-0. TK thought it was a tale of two teams when the Penguins changed their line combinations. He doesn't think Game 6 was the final game for the Big 3. TK's theory on where Evgeni Malkin could go if he's not back.

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: The Penguins season is over after a 1-0 overtime loss to Philadelphia. Joe thinks the better team lost Game 6, but it took the Penguins too long to get into the series and they had no margin for error. TK doesn't think Game 6 was the final game for the Big 3. Tyler shares his theory on where Evgeni Malkin could go if he's not back with the Penguins next season.

Game 6 tonight in Philly after the Penguins have won back-to-back games to stretch the series to 6. Does it all end tonight? Donny called ‘Pens in 7' before Game 5. Poni got on board after that game. Chris thinks the fairytale falls short. Are they feeling the pressure in Philadelphia? Is there some doubt in Arturs Silovs? Sidney Crosby had the stare down working from the bench the other night. Would it sting less if the Penguins lost an OT classic? Are fans feeling the Penguins completing the comeback? Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. TK doesn't think the Penguins will get sucked into a fight tonight if things are jockeying early in the game. What's it like being in that mindset before a game like this? Tyler is happy to hear the Penguins were ‘all business' in their morning skate. He said if the Penguins win the game tonight, the series is over, and they will win it in 7. TK talked about the dirty tactics from the Flyers over the years. Are the Flyers a little bit distracted right now and is every player all-in?

In this hour, former Penguin Tyler Kennedy comes on with Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson to react to the latest developments in the NHL playoff series between the Penguins and the Philadelphia Flyers. April 28, 2026, 9:00 Hour

Mark talks about the Penguins needing more from the stars. Tyler Kennedy joins the show to break down game 3 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani, Joe Starkey, and Tyler Kennedy: Tyler thinks if the Penguins win one game in Philly that the series is going seven. TK thought it was dumb to play the stars in Washington. TK would replace Girard with Jack St. Ivany. The Penguins should have went back to the original lines from a few month ago way earlier. Jeff Patton of Baseball Card Castle joined the show.

Stanley Cup Champion Tyler Kennedy joined the show. TK doesn't think Sidney Crosby's lack of production is what's crushing the team. He thinks the Penguins are going to fight their way back in the conversation. Tyler thinks if the Penguins win one game in Philly that the series is going seven. TK thought it was dumb to play the stars in Washington. TK would replace Sam Girard with Jack St. Ivany.

Tyler Kennedy said that players would put tape on their helmets so that it doesn't fall off in a fight. Why have the Penguins been discombobulated? The Penguins should have went back to the original lines from a few month ago way earlier. Jeff Patton of Baseball Card Castle joined the show for Starkey's Card of the Week.

The Rangers topped the Pirates last night, but the biggest story didn't come from the game. Instead, it was from the comments made by Andrew McCutchen following it. Cutch is still clearly salty following his Pirates departure. Would the Pirates be better off with him instead of Marcell Ozuna or Billy Cook? 2/3 of the show thinks Cutch needs to stop crying and be happy he got his 3-year reunion in Pittsburgh. Of course, a year when the Pirates look like a good team, the rest of the NL Central is great. How do fans feel about the Andrew McCutchen comments? Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. Does Tyler like what Dan Muse is doing right now? TK said the Penguins need to adapt and match the style Philly is throwing at them. What is going on with Kris Letang right now? It looks like Justin Brazeau is back in the lineup after being a healthy scratch in the first 2 games. Tyler believes in the Russian connection between Evgeni Malkin and Egor Chinakhov, so he was speechless to find out they aren't on the same line tonight. Tyler thinks the Penguins bounce back tonight and Sidney Crosby will have a big game to shut up the building in Philadelphia.

Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy comes on with Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson to assess the first two games of the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs between the Pens and the Philadelphia Flyers.

The waiting game on Aaron Rodgers will continue with the Steelers as we enter the week of the NFL Draft. The 22-year vet has yet to give the team an answer, even though he is reportedly in ‘regular communication' with Mike McCarthy. The guys are tired and don't want this to continue. Do you? The feeling is that the team should move on here. Are fans tired of waiting on Aaron Rodgers? Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. The Penguins admitted that the Flyers took them out of their game on Saturday night, as Philly took a 1-0 series lead. TK explained what the Pens have to do tonight to even things up. Justin Brazeau was the odd-man-out in Game 1 and Tyler isn't sure if he sneaks back into the lineup. TK suggested sitting Ben Kindel if you want Brazeau back in there. TK predicted a 4-0 Penguins victory tonight.

Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy comes on in this hour to preview the upcoming playoff series against the Philadelphia Flyers with Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson. Also, Penguins' RW Bryan Rust comes on The Fan Hotline. April 17, 2026, 9:00 Hour

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani: This is the highest-scoring Penguins team in the Sidney Crosby era. TK said that Philly wants to make this a hard game because Philadelphia is not as talented. They need to slow the Penguins down. TK thinks the Penguins need to keep it simple. What does Tyler think the Penguins are going to do in the first round against Philly?

This is the highest-scoring Penguins team in the Sidney Crosby era. TK said that Philly wants to make this a hard game because Philadelphia is not as talented. They need to slow the Penguins down. The Penguins are second in the NHL in allowing short-handed goals. TK thinks the Penguins need to keep it simple. Playing Rick Tocchet or when Talbot and Jagr played for the Flyers is like playing your brother. TK thinks it brings out the competitor in the Penguins to beat Tocchet.

Tyler Kennedy said Columbus head coach Rick Bowness should have called out his team 10 games ago instead of after the last game of the year. TK thinks he was putting his own interests at the top. TK thinks Bowness must not talk to players in the locker room with that authority. Stuart Skinner is the most important player in this series. PLAYOFF PREVIEW.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Will the Steelers find a way to keep Nick Herbig? Ray thinks the Steelers may be able to get a second or third for Alex Highsmith but Ray would rather keep him. Ray doesn't think you can get enough value for Watt. Tyler Kennedy and Poni would rather play the Islanders than the Flyers. Joe and Austin want to play the Flyers and thinks it would be great entertainment.
