Podcast appearances and mentions of Tyler Kennedy

Tyler Kennedy would not trade Tristan Jarry now. Good goaltending is hard to find and TK isn't sure if Sergei Murashov is 100% ready. Joe would trade Jarry. TK thinks Connor McDavid will 100% win a Stanley Cup.

The Penguins are the most enjoyable team to watch in town. They are in playoff position and things are different with Dan Muse. Communication is better and TK thinks that Muse is easier to talk to. Things have been simplified.

Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. If the playoffs started today, the Penguins would be in – and TK believes they will make it by season's end. He brought up a weak division and the fact that the Penguins don't look like a team running on smoke & mirrors. Tyler said he doesn't care what Tristan Jarry does in the regular season because it only matters how he performs in the big games and in the playoffs. TK told the guys he continually hears great things about Dan Muse and the new voice leading the team. TK thinks the players have responded so well to the change at the top. Tyler thinks Sidney Crosby will reach 40 goals this season.

Ben Roethlisberger is now on-board with Mike Tomlin moving on. He suggested the Steelers ‘clean house' with the coaching staff. Are you starting to think this is actually possible, with more and more voices starting to bring up a topic they've long been so afraid of? That not only includes national voices, but people who have covered the team for years and never thought things would reach this point. The Fan vs The Fans.

One of the only national voices willing to step up and call out Mike Tomlin is Colin Cowherd. The guys applauded Cowherd for the act of saying the non-losing season streak means zero in the NFL. Some of the numbers breaking down Tomlin's shortcomings in years where they simply made the playoffs – only winning playoff games in 4 of those seasons. How many defenses are left for Tomlin? When will the majority of national voices turn the corner? More players are being asked if the scheme is the biggest issue with the Steelers defensive woes. Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. TK thinks the Penguins need to pay the hot-hand at goaltender until someone cools down. He said the rhythm is very important for the guy between the pipes as the Pens deal with 3 of them on their active roster. Could playing Tristan Jarry more and more be in an effort to trade him? Justin Brazeau is TK's team MVP so far because he's been so much better than anyone expected and his absence is noticeable. Is this the best we have seen Erik Karlsson play in a Penguins uniform? TK gives Dan Muse a B+ for his first quarter-season grade as Penguins coach. Tyler likes what he sees from Evgeni Malkin and is hoping he can keep building this momentum for the rest of the season.

A source inside the locker room told TK that the vibes inside the locker room are so much different and better with Dan Muse. "Everyone has a voice" with Dan Muse as head coach. TK thinks that the Penguins have a plan for Harrison Brunicke. If Malkin wants to stay for another year, what does Dubas want to do?

Tyler Kennedy is encouraged by what he's seen from Sergei Murashov as the answer in goal. He wouldn't rush Tristan Jarry back from injury and wants to see an extended look at Murashov and Arturs Silovs. TK wants to see more Murashov. A look around the NHL.

Are you starting to get excited, Pirates fans? The report from Jeff Passan the other day had us wondering if the Pirates would actually follow up on their lofty off-season expectations. The mood was pretty dire – questioning if it would be any different than the off-season's we are used to. Poni said he has heard it will be the ‘best off-season under Bob Nutting.' Well, we'll see about that. The Fan vs The Fans. Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. The guys asked TK why he doesn't go on the Morning Show, but he's present on the others. Tyler said the weirdest guy he played hockey with was Brent Burns – sighting the extensive reptile collection and the quirky things he'd do. How many players are more superstitious than Sidney Crosby? There are reports that Evgeni Malkin will have a sit-down with Kyle Dubas to discuss future options, which could mean more Geno in a Penguins uniform.

Tyler Kennedy doesn't think Mike Sullivan would have played and given an opportunity to Ben Kindel like Dan Muse has. Erik Karlsson seemingly called out Sullivan by saying you need to do things that you're good at, not what someone tells you to do. Dan Muse has set up the Penguins in a good way.

Would you trade Tristan Jarry when the Penguins return from Sweden? Jarry has been ok but Silovs and Murashov are the future. Tyler Kennedy thinks it's way too soon for people to try and compare Sergei Murashov to Marc-Andre Fleury. Ben Kindel scored his first goal very early in his career and has the confidence he belongs in the NHL.

The Steelers activated Will Howard today. Is there any shot he becomes a good QB in the NFL? Or should we just look at the draft stock and give him no chance? It's easy to point to the Steelers as the blame here more than anything, but the guys discussed what he could look like if given an opportunity, referencing his numbers and what he had to work with at Ohio State. The Fan vs The Fans. Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. TK said Erik Christensen had some of the best hands in hockey that he's ever seen – relating to the Penguins' struggles in shootouts. Tyler said the Penguins are starting to win him over, but the last 2 games have been very tough ones to lose. The guys discussed the difficulty between winning Stanley Cups back-to-back versus winning Cups a few years apart. Is Erik Karlsson a ‘born loser,' like Poni says? Would you take him over Kris Letang?

Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. The Penguins have made a plethora of moves, including the promotion of Sergei Murashov, who could be the goaltender of the future. TK said if this kid has great early returns, it creates a ‘good, tough' decision for the Penguins when Tristan Jarry is healthy. He suggested the team putting Jarry on waivers if Murashov shows out. Tyler said it will be a tough transition in terms of crowd noise and attendance, as well as the uptick in the pace of play. He will likely get his first action against Alex Ovechkin, the greatest goal scorer of all-time. The guys asked Tyler about the collapse in Toronto the other night when the Penguins held a 3-0 lead after 2 periods.

We continued to react to the Steelers standing pat at the trade deadline. Poni had a gripe with the people who cover the team, many of which are on our airwaves. Almost all of them lauded the team for not making a single move yesterday, giving the team an A+ for their work. Poni believes the same people would have given the team the same grade if they had made moves. The Fan vs The Fans. Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show.

Stanley Cup Champion Tyler Kennedy joined the show. Tyler has respect for figure skaters. Trevor Zegras has brought fire back to the Flyers-Penguins rivalry. TK still doesn't fully believe in the goaltending. 

Sidney Crosby and Trevor Zegras weren't allowed to take part in the shootout after Sid came off the bench at the end of overtime and earned a misconduct. Joe wanted the NHL to allow Crosby to participate because it was "Frozen Frenzy" night. Tyler Kennedy understood the move with the rules and was unfortunately the proper decision.

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Tyler Kennedy doesn't even think there should be a discussion with Ben Kindel and he definitely should stay on the team.

Tyler Kennedy on the hot start of the Penguins. Is the start sustainable? Should the Penguins keep the two rookies up longer? Ben Kindel and Harrison Brunicke are close to burning a year of their contracts. Is it worth it to keep them up for the long haul?

10-29 PM Team 2pm Hour: Art Rooney, Fan vs The Fans, and Tyler Kennedy

Tyler played in the Celebrity Hoops for Hospice charity basketball game that Austin PA announced on Wednesday. Harrison Brunicke and Ben Kindel are playing well as teenagers. The Penguins have to determine if they should send them to juniors or keep them on the team and earn a year of service time.

The 2026 Olympic Games are coming up. Team Canada and Team USA will battle it out.

Aaron Rodgers, The Fan wins a major award, and Tyler Kennedy

The Penguins have started off great this season. Justin Brazeau has eight points in his first seven games, the same amount of points as Connor McDavid. Tyler Kennedy joins the show to talk about the hot start. Poni says that the attendance was very light last night, TK says that the expectations of the team going into the season could be a reason for the low attendance.

Tyler Kennedy joined the show. Tyler wants to see the Steelers' leadership step up and make sure the Steelers have a great start to the game. When the Steelers have lost on Thursday night, they have gotten off to bad starts. TK thinks we will know what this game will be like in the first five minutes of play. A look at the 2007-08 Steelers.

The Penguins have played two good games, and two that give us major question marks. Tyler Kennedy doesn't think the Penguins have enough sustained offensive zone time. Playing conditions are significant and the Acrisure Stadium field is comparable to needing good ice conditions. 

Stanley Cup Champion Matt Cooke joined the show! Cooke is the GM and head coach of the Vernon Vipers in junior hockey in British Columbia. Matt discusses his tough and physical play for the Penguins. What was the driving force for the Jordan Staal, Tyler Kennedy, Matt Cooke line?

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey and Tyler Kennedy: Stanley Cup Champion Matt Cooke joined the show! Cooke is the GM and head coach of the Vernon Vipers in junior hockey in British Columbia. The Jordan Staal, Matt Cooke, Tyler Kennedy line was a line that controlled games when they were on the ice and Staal was huge for the line scoring. Cooke wanted to make sure nothing happened to Sid or Geno. Cooke explains the differences between playing with Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby.

Mike Tomlin painted a pretty picture for the Steelers going forward after a bye week in which they received a lot of help. The Bengals also made a move and acquired Joe Flacco with the game in Cincy looming next Thursday. Is it safe to put this hay in the barn for the next 2 games? Chris was close to saying the Browns will come in here and beat the Steelers, sighting the close game they played against the Vikings. Should the Steelers be on upset alert? Tomlin-ism of the Week – Why did we see so little of Pat Freiermuth (and Jonnu Smith) against the Vikings? Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. TK said he would sign up for the Penguins being the worst team in hockey if it meant Gavin McKenna was on the roster this time next year. Is it more beneficial for McKenna to play in college, like he's doing at Penn State, or junior hockey? Tyler thinks we will be pleasantly surprised by how this team performs this season, giving credit to Dan Muse for a different voice in charge. TK believes multiple stars will be on the move at the trade deadline – Evgeni Malkin, Bryan Rust and Rickard Rakell. He thinks Geno would be willing to waive his no-movement clause to play for the Florida Panthers.

Stanley Cup Champion Tyler Kennedy believes the Penguins need to give their young guys a long leash. TK thinks the Penguins will be in more trouble if they put the young guys only on the 3rd and 4th line. Tristan Broz and other young players have played well in the preseason.

Hour 1 with Donny Football and Tyler Kennedy: Marc-Andre Fleury will play one period for the Penguins on Saturday. Tyler will be at PPG Paints Arena for Fleury's return. The NHL is expanding to 84 games. Kennedy thinks this will be one of the most competitive camps in years. There are jobs up for grabs.

Tyler Kennedy will be at PPG Paints Arena for Fleury's return. The NHL is expanding to 84 games. TK said he felt so good in camp with the Penguins because they played so late into the season that he didn't have a lot of rust. Now at 84 games, TK said he wouldn't be surprised at all to see players out with load management. Is this Evgeni Malkin's last year?

Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy thinks this will be one of the most competitive camps in years. There are jobs up for grabs. Arturs Silovs has a chance to grab hold of the net at some point. The Penguins will play in Sweden this year and TK thinks it's great to grow the game.
