The Dubas Cube 07/31/26

Per The Athletic’s Josh Yohe, the Pittsburgh Penguins’ 2026-2027 season holds the promise of … not much! PIT’s GM, Kyle Dubas wasn’t all that impressed with what he saw when he went free-agency-shopping, or the pieces he coveted were simply out of his league, for lack of a better turn of phrase.

Jordan and Jeff talk Malkin, Kuzmenko, Murashov, Silovs, Chinakov, and… now wait JUST a minute… are the Penguins “Turning Russian” — more than a little like an Eastern European version of a racy early 80’s pop song?

Tee Time For Pittsburgh 05/06/26

The Pittsburgh Penguins’ 2025-26 campaign has come to an end. Eliminated in an overtime, Game 6 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, the Pens overachieved and bowed out early. No harm, no foul. We all got extra hockey, the organization generated some playoff revenue from tickets, concessions, and merch, and after a slow start, we were all treated to some thrilling hockey in Games three through six.

Jeff and Jordan recap the season that was, discussing - among other things - Evgeni Malkin’s future with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
