Pittsburgh Penguins

Philip Hollander, who hasn't really made much of an impact yet for Edmonton since coming over in that trade from the...

Pittsburgh Penguins, I think there was a hope that he'd be able to bring a little bit more juice.

Hasn't played a ton.

But Phillip Hollander and Max Jones are scratched for tonight's game.

You all know that I'm a Canadiens fan.

The only team I like more in Montreal is Pittsburgh, only because I am a Penguin, as Mitch knows.

But Toronto deserves

their props.

And so I think this was a team that underestimated Nashville going into it and just wasn't quite ready there.

To me, too, going back to the Pittsburgh game, it's like an overconfidence.

And so I don't think that Colorado's looking at the Pittsburgh Penguins as an easy opponent.

Right.

But when you look at how they've opened this season, some of the results that they've had just kind of –

So focused, focused.

such you know such a clear goal in mind this is where we want to be and when you come up short on that like you know we all had the conversation in the media of like okay well how do you replicate that how do you how do you sit there and like rev yourself up for like okay again here we go it's the grueling six months where we want to climb to the top and stay there and fight everybody off And I think you're right.

I think this group is finding their way on how do we do that? How do you know how much gas to give every night? And then I will also combine it with a couple of the results that we've seen early in this season, namely that Pittsburgh Penguin game.

Thank you.

To the Pittsburgh Penguins, a late tying goal in regulation by the Penguins.

The Predators fall again in three-on-three overtime.

But despite the fact that they did not have the rest advantage, the Avalanche were here waiting for the Predators on Saturday night.

coming up in a few minutes to talk Penguins hockey.

My first question will be about Eric Carlson's Halloween costume.

If you haven't seen it, his wife dressed up as Austin Powers and he is dressed up as a fembot.

Tim Benz in for Mark Madden here on 105.9 The X.

We are going all the way up until 6 o'clock tonight.

Hockey night show in advance of the game on Thursday when the Penguins are back on the ice again for the third of three in a row at home before a quick trip up on Halloween to play Montreal.

They got Utah at home on Thursday.

Maybe just say, great win, but we're all thinking about Mason.

You feeling any better about the Pens after winning two in a row at home following the four-game losing streak out West? Better than I am about the Panthers.

That's for damn sure.

I don't know.

Feels like the Penguins are just going to be this up-and-down mushy middle team, just like last year.

Have some highs, have some lows.

I do like that some of the kids got injected into the lineup in this recent homestand, and you're seeing some more energy.

Hot start.

Still to come here in the 3 o'clock hour, we'll get Matt Williamson's breakdown of the Steelers.

Also, we'll mix in a little Penguins talk with Phil Bork coming up at 4.30. And here in the 3 o'clock hour as well, we've got some hockey talk before the top of the hour.

105.9 The X. It's the north outbound approaching East Street.

A crash there takes
