Penguins face their BIGGEST challenge when they take on the champs!
Locked On Penguins - Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh PenguinsAbout this episode
The Penguins will face their first true test of the season when they head to Florida to take on the defending champion Panthers. Patrick and Hunter begin the show by taking a look at the defending champion Panthers, who the Penguins will take on in Sunrise tonight. They run down the roster, and despite a slower start, the champions are still a very formidable foe. (0:00) Then, they turn their attention back to the Penguins, who they will need to lean on to get another unexpected victory, what the coaching staff will need to be ready for, and who could draw back into the lineup to make a statement? (13:07) Finally, it's time to answer the question on the minds of many Penguins fans: is this team actually good or is this just a mirage? While it's been fun, it very well could be real because a lot of the fundamentals are very good early on. (23:47) Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rugiet Ready to level up your confidence ?
