Locked On Penguins - Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Penguins

The Penguins announced their 2026 Hall of Fame class, and the legendary goaltender is going in! Hunter and Patrick begin the Thursday edition of Locked On Penguins discussing the four new inductees to the Penguins Hall of Fame, which include Marc-Andre Fleury, Larry Murphy, Jim Rutherford, and Jack McGregor. (1:25) They talk about the impact the four had on the franchise's history and success, and what they mean in the history books. Then, they react to The Athletic’s prospect rankings, and while the Penguins find themselves right in the middle of the pack, the actual ranking of the team’s prospects was…puzzling, to say the least. (13:30) Finally, the NHL made it official that all 32 teams will receive “Hometown Remix” jerseys this season, prompting speculation about what the Penguins' new alternates might look like. (23:45)

When you're in a transitional period like the Pittsburgh Penguins, individual performances are key, so which players have the most to gain and to lose this season? Patrick Damp and Hunter Hodies begin the Wednesday edition of the Locked On Penguins Podcast by discussing a few players who have the most to lose this season, should they underperform, including defenseman Sam Girard and forwards Ville Koviunen and Nick Robertson, as well as a few others (0:00). Then, they flip the discussion and talk about a few players who have the most to gain by having a big year. Whether it's younger players or veterans, having a big year could lead to a bright future or a big payday next summer. (12:51) Finally, Sidney Crosby is eligible for an extension now that he is in his final year of a two-year extension, so when will he re-sign with the Penguins? (24:00)

Despite being close geographically, the Penguins and Blue Jackets' rivalry isn't as fierce as it could be, but why is that? Patrick and Hunter begin the Friday edition of the Locked On Penguins Podcast by discussing the state of the Penguins-Blue Jackets rivalry.

(0:00)  Then, Fan Take Friday begins in the second segment with the idea of an Erik Karlsson trade, what happens with the defense, and where Ville Koivunen will begin the season. (11:01) Finally, Fan Take Friday concludes with a discussion about Justin Brazeau and where he fits this year, or if he'll become trade fodder, best places to visit before a Pens game, and much more!

Everyone knows Crosby, Malkin, and maybe even Letang are bound for the Hockey Hall of Fame one day, but who are some other Penguins that might get the call to the Hall? Hunter and Patrick begin the Wednesday episode of the Locked On Penguins Podcast discussing the potential Hockey Hall of Fame candidacies of Marc-Andre Fleury and Mike Sullivan. (1:50) While Fleury and Sullivan seem like slam dunks to one day be enshrined in Toronto, what about Sergei Gonchar and Phil Kessel? (10:35) They talk about how those two have borderline cases, how they could get in, and how they might not. Finally, it’s the offseason, NHL Network’s Top 20 Defensemen list is out, and well…no Erik Karlsson? Let’s take some ragebait! (20:00)

Fresh off a Jack Adams Award nomination, Penguins’ head coach Dan Muse will look to follow up a great rookie season in 2026-27. What will he need to do? Hunter and Patrick discuss that on the Monday edition after he exceeded all expectations in his debut season. He’ll have to focus a lot on development and getting the most out of some veterans while making his presence more known around the league. (2:20) Then, the Penguins still have a massive logjam at forward as camp inches closer, so how will they make sure they have enough players to stay competitive without losing some veterans for nothing? (14:00) Finally, over the weekend, the Penguins finalized their minor league coaching staffs; they take a look at some of the names who will hopefully be guiding the next generation of Penguins. (24:00)
