Podcast appearances and mentions of Tyler Kennedy

Stanley Cup Champion Tyler Kennedy joined the show. TK shares how he got new front teeth. TK's old teeth are still there but they added in new teeth. TK also has fuller hair and they picked good roots in the back of his head to put in the front. TK shares how he fought a teammate on the bus because the teammate kept picking on him.

Tyler Kennedy heard from a birdie that over the next two to three years, Sergei Murashov is going to be a top five goalie in the league. He's hearing that the hype around Murashov is true. Marc-Andre Fleury, Jack McGregor, Larry Murphy, and Jim Rutherford will be inducted into the Penguins Hall of Fame. Ville Koivunen was signed to an eight-year deal.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani, Joe Starkey, and Tyler Kennedy: Tyler Kennedy heard from a birdie that over the next two to three years, Sergei Murashov is going to be a top five goalie in the league. He's hearing that the hype around Murashov is true. Marc-Andre Fleury, Jack McGregor, Larry Murphy, and Jim Rutherford will be inducted into the Penguins Hall of Fame. Ville Koivunen was signed to an eight-year deal and is a big risk for the Penguins if he doesn't become a good player.

Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. The Penguins signed Ville Koivunen to an 8-year contract last week. How did a player of his magnitude get $32M guaranteed? He scored 7 points last season. TK talked about the cheap contract he signed to stay with the Penguins in a year he scored 20+ goals. Tyler said the points don't lie and he's unsure why the Penguins would offer this deal. TK thinks Koivunen can eclipse 20 goals, but it's a risk of a signing. Did it make other guys more valuable? Tyler said this is a big deal for someone like Ben Kindel and how he can leverage his performance for a new contract down the road. Tyler doesn't think Sidney Crosby did anything too crazy on his birthday.

Paul Skenes was pulled after 5 innings last night in Miami not because he was rocked or because he was laboring to nearly 100 pitches. Skenes was soft-tossing, by his standards, through the night – never topping 95 MPH. What is going on with him? Don Kelly explained why he pulled him and Paul explained why he didn't fight him. The 2025 Cy Young winner clearly has something wrong. The guys wondered if it was the World Baseball Classic and if he chose Team USA over the team that signs his checks in 2026. Listeners ponder what is wrong with Paul Skenes. Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. The Penguins signed Ville Koivunen to an 8-year contract last week.

I played the wrong open but Joe liked it. The Ville Koivunen contract seemed like a joke. What does he do well and what could his role be? It's Sidney Crosby's birthday! Would Sid want market value in his next contract?Callers pepper TK with questions. 

Joe is bummed today. Do young women watch TV? Joe likes to ride only old and weak horses. We are overtaken by flash flood warnings. Joe thinks AI will create an athlete. A debate about tipping. Another debate about ghosts.

Joe is bummed today. Do young women watch TV? Joe likes to ride only old and weak horses. We are overtaken by flash flood warnings. Joe thinks AI will create an athlete. A debate about tipping.

Joe asks Ray a final question three times. 

Tyler Kennedy joins to discuss Joe and Bob being on vacation, Jason Robertson signed a 1-year deal with Dallas. The Zach Werenski domino has changed everything. TK could tell what visiting city he was in based solely on the players' vehicles. Will the Pens do anything else notable with Robertson off the board? The Flyers are in a better place than the Pens right now. Patrick Kane got an absurd contract to return to Chicago. Will the Pens have a Russian connection? TK talks about the significance of a number for a hockey player. Was the Blackhawks dynasty better than the Pens? Is Kane the best American born hockey player ever? TK compliments Limits' mustache. Is Austin going to do a Pittsburgh dating show?

TK talks about the significance of a number for a hockey player. Was the Blackhawks dynasty better than the Pens? Is Kane the best American born hockey player ever? TK compliments Limits' mustache. Is Austin going to do a Pittsburgh dating show? The Pirates got two great starts on Wednesday, but the bullpen faltered once more. Chandler had one of his best starts ever. DK made a horrible decision. A caller gives his take. Colin Beazley joins to give his thoughts on the game-ending replay challenge, the decision to pull Chandler, who the internal bullpen options are, how much longer Ozuna be on the roster, if the Pirates should extend Valdez soon and his great approach, Jacob Gonzalez's future role, Brandon Lowe's struggles, is Oneil Cruz could be moved, who Colin would be willing to trade. This is becoming the "protect your pitching investment" era of baseball. Callers chime in on who the Pirates should acquire. More callers give their Pirates proposals. Does Cherington have more sway than Don Kelly when it comes to how long a starting pitcher goes? Austin Hedges back to Pittsburgh?? Paul in Washington isn't a happy camper about Don Kelly. Jeff Hathhorn joins to discuss Brandon Eisert's woes, if Bubba Chandler could be traded, the replay review to end the game, more Mason Miller proposals. If you could add any player to the Pirates for the rest of 2026, regardless of contract and trade compensation, who would you pick? Skubal? Ohtani? PCA? Or still Mason Miller?

Tyler Kennedy joins to discuss Joe and Bob being on vacation, Jason Robertson signed a 1-year deal with Dallas. The Zach Werenski domino has changed everything. TK could tell what visiting city he was in based solely on the players' vehicles. Will the Pens do anything else notable with Robertson off the board? The Flyers are in a better place than the Pens right now. 

The Stars have re-signed Jason Robertson to a 1-year deal worth $12M. What does that mean for the Penguins offseason plans? It felt like Kyle Dubas was cornering things to make a real push for Robertson, after trading for his brother at the beginning of free agency. Will Dubas push the chips to 2027 when there is a loaded free agency class with the Penguins expected to have an abundance of cap space? 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff doesn't think the Jason Robertson thing is totally dead because he re-signed to only 1 more year in Dallas. How close are the Penguins if Robertson is in the mix? Jeff doesn't think Kyle Dubas is done looking at his options. Jeff said there isn't really an in-house option to build around after Sidney Crosby. Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. Tyler said the Penguins offseason strategy should now be ‘sit & wait' after Jason Robertson re-signed in Dallas. Should the Penguins have interest in Dylan Larkin? With a loaded free agency class in 2027, will the Penguins get in on the fun? The guys think Cale Makar should be on top of the priority list in the '27 offseason. TK thinks it might be Jason Robertson.

Hour 1 with Donny Football and Tyler Kennedy: TK thinks something would have been done by now if the Penguins were trading for Jason Robertson. Should the Penguins put all three Russians on the same line? Kennedy thinks the NHL is "watering the product down' with the schedule by going to 84 games.

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. 

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? 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?

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?

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.

Is Pittsburgh still an attractive place to play thanks to Sidney Crosby?

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: 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. Ned Bacheson of The Pittsburgh Grass Open joined the show. The Pittsburgh Grass Volleyball Open is celebrating its 10th anniversary. It's July 24-26 at the South Park Fairgrounds.

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.

Hour 1: Donny Football in for the guys today! Are the Penguins close to trading for Jason Robertson? Dom wonders why the Pens were chosen for the ESPN Opening Night game in September. And Tyler Kennedy joins the show to preview the Penguins' upcoming moves.

Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy comes on The Fan Hotline to react to the Penguins' 2026 NHL Draft selections with Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson.

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.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey and Tyler Kennedy: 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. Josh Yohe reported that Kyle Dubas is "big game hunting." Will the Penguins make a big move?

The Hoffmann Family is committed to winning and they care about spending money to make the team win. The Florida Everglades is going to be the new ECHL team and will unfortunately replace Wheeling. Tyler Kennedy identified Josh Anderson as a Tom Wilson like player. Josh Yohe reported that Kyle Dubas is "big game hunting." Will the Penguins make a big move? 

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.

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!

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.

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? 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.

Stanley Cup Champion Tyler Kennedy joined. Jordan 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? 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.

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? 

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 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.

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. 

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.
