The Penguins dropped a snoozer of a preseason game, but that is immaterial because now the time is running out for some players to make the team. Patrick and Hunter begin the Friday edition of the Locked On Penguins Podcast by recapping the absolute snoozefest of a preseason game against the Blue Jackets. While the game itself was tough, there were a couple of standouts, including a line of forwards who are making a case to be on the opening night roster. (0:00) Then, between injuries and the tragic loss of Andrei Kuzmenko's father, the Penguins suddenly have a few open spots at forward, with cuts already being made. Who will make the roster? (13:18) Finally, Saturday afternoon's preseason finale in Buffalo is shaping up to be a dress rehearsal for the regular season; they break down the roster and get you set for the last game before it matters for real. (25:38)
