Pingvinerna är i Sverige 11/13/25 The Penguins are indeed In Sweden, *even* when said in English. Jeff Taylor and Jordan DeFigio talk through the Pittsburgh Penguins’ recent, inevitable “cooling-off,” following one of the hottest starts the NHL has seen this season. Most recently, the team has gone on a tepid 1-3-1 run, during which time they generally continued to play well. Results matter, though and over the past five games the Penguins have mostly failed at gaining two points on a given night. Sergei Murashov’s stellar NHL debut - a loss on home ice to the LA Kings - was as promising a preview of the young Russian goaltender’s NHL career as a serious hockey fan could have hoped for. Jordan and Jeff discuss the Pens’ recent back-to-back matchups against the Devils and Kings, with a special focus on Murashov’s performance.

Cody Hodgson and The RYR-1 Foundation 11/11/25 Diagnosed in 2016 with RYR-1-related malignant hyperthermia, Cody Hodgson’s promising NHL playing career was cut short when the effects of his disease made it impossible for him to push his body to the extent necessary in pro hockey. However, what initially looked like a major setback gave way to a very different, equally powerful calling. Now an active ambassador for the Pittsburgh, PA-based RYR-1 Foundation, Hodgson is precisely the kind of figure in the hockey world that our production staff loves connecting with. With mobile recording gear in tow, our producer and co-host, Jeff Taylor recently joined the RYR-1 Foundation in Pittsburgh for their 10th anniversary conference. A handful of in-depth interviews were conducted that day, including with former NHL’er Cody Hodgson himself, as well as Toronto-based anesthesiologist Dr. Sheila Riazi, Hodgson’s diagnosing physician.

Will the Penguins build on Tuesday night’s defensive clinic of a victory over the Rangers, or will they revert to what Pens fans have come to know as ‘the NEW Penguins Hockey’ aka let the Islanders come into PPG Paints Arena and spoil the home opener? Josh Yohe shares a story involving Sidney Crosby and Ben Kindel that we think you’ll love, plus the panel imagines a scenario in which the Pittsburgh Penguins overachieve and make the playoffs: Hey, why not dream? Yeah, yeah, we know. Josh Yohe doesn’t drink coffee.

Pittsburgh Penguins Opener: 7th Avenue Freeze-Out 10/03/25 Today’s episode kicks off with a special appearance by one of our favorite baristas at our partner, Espresso a Mano’s Dormont café. After some armchair Penguins Hockey quarterback’ing by co-hosts - Jeff Taylor and Jordan DeFigio, opining is conducted as to which NHL hockey club various Marvel / DC superheroes and supervillains might support - if they were in fact …real. The problem of the Penguins’ 2025-2026 likely netminding personnel is bemoaned, partly analyzed, though mostly complained about. Jeff and Jordan talk about a couple upcoming music performances and releases of their own, and the location of Madison Square Garden - the site of the Pittsburgh Penguins’ season opener against the hosting NY Rangers - is clarified in spite of the much-used phrase, ‘On Broadway’ when referring to the Rags’ home rink.

The Unthinkable: Pittsburgh Penguins Captain Sidney Crosby Has Requested A Trade 09/13/25 Sell the team to whomever you want, we don’t care. Put whoever you want in goal on September 27th when the Pens play meaningless hockey against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Yeah, even Marc-André Fleury. For the record, we’ve done the Farewell-to-Flower thing at PPG Paints Arena THREE times already. *cough-cough* .. *money-grab* .. *cough-cough…* None of that matters anymore, because… Sidney Crosby, via his longtime agent, Pat Brisson has for all intents and purposes made it known that he would like to be traded; essentially he’s requested to play NHL hockey for a team other than the Penguins. This is a developing story and we, Jordan DeFigio and Jeff Taylor found out about it AS we were recording this episode. So YES, Flyers fans, Devils fans, Rangers fans, etc: This Bud’s For You. And LEAFS fans? Yinz have REALLY earned this one. Drink it up, you know it’s literally all you have.

Pittsburgh Penguins For Sale 09/04/25 Rumors inspired journalistic deep-dives, with the resulting articles giving way to a fanbase-wide assumption that the Fenway Sports Group’s tenure as owners of 1967’s most successful expansion NHL franchise may come to an end - sooner than most anyone would have thought. On today’s episode, FPF co-hosts Jeff Taylor and Jordan DeFigio take you through two written pieces, recently published in The Athletic. Written by frequent guests of the program Josh Yohe and Rob Rossi, Penguins fans can read up on probably the final bits of Summer 2025 news and speculation regarding their favorite hockey club.

Happy 38th Birthday to Sidney Crosby 08/07/25 There are two things about Sidney Crosby’s birthday which every Penguins fan knows by heart. For one, the date of our Captain’s arrival on Earth is emblazoned on Crosby’s back-and-shoulders, any time he skates for the Pittsburgh Penguins: “8/7.” Secondly, Sid’s birthday means that training camp is just around the corner, signaling an encouraging “midpoint” in an otherwise mundane summer offseason.

Mario Lemieux’s Hockey Clock 07/16/25 Renewed media buzz has gathered steam around the potential reacquisition of the Pittsburgh Penguins by the Lemieux/Burkle/Morehouse ownership group. Kris Letang’s summer workout videos have surfaced and they’re - of course - completely insane and sweat-inducing. Erik Karlsson still seems somewhat un-trade-able, in spite of a significant increase in the NHL’s salary cap.
