The Pittsburgh Penguins deserved a much better fate on Thursday night. Hunter starts the show by discussing everything they did well and how their faults were on display for everyone to see. He looks at how they controlled the game at 5v5 but again lost the goaltending matchup (even though Casey DeSmith was perfectly fine). He even discusses how the process has been there for most of the games during the second half of the season but gives reasons why the results haven't. He then explains why the Penguins will likely get those results if they continue to play that way in these final 10 games. After that, Hunter goes into just how bad the finishing has been this season and why it comes down to poor roster decisions more than anything else. He analyzes how the Penguins were higher up in finishing when they had pure finishers in the bottom six and discusses how Ron Hextall has completely gone away from those players in his last two offseasons. Finally, Hunter discusses Tristan Jarry's latest injury and if he'll be back this season while previewing Saturday night's MASSIVE matchup against the Washington Capitals.
