Should never have gotten to that point, but that’s a beautiful two-on-one from Malkin and Novak. Great stones to win that game.

The Crosby line had Caufield and Co. in the mud for the entire shift before Sam Girard finished the play off. BTW: What a start to the season for Girard. Looks way better so far

That goal was scored because of Egor Chinakhov. Filthy keep at the blue line before Letang unleashed that clapper from the point, leading to that mess

That was a 60-minute beatdown. From the opening drop of the puck, the forecheck gave the Flyers fits, and they had no answer. Defensively, they took everything away and played a simple, crisp game. Great way to open the season for the Penguins.

So, so, so happy for Filip Hallander. Dude has worked his ass off to get back here and had a fantastic camp/preseason before making the roster. Great job to crash the net there after his great assist earlier.

Hunter Hodies @hunterhodies.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Just a perfect road period. Forecheck got to its game early and never let up. They settled in defensively. Got goals from two players who have the chance to have big years. Really strong stuff.

If you didn't listen to today's Locked On Penguins, I told @hunterhodies.bsky.social that Robertson was scoring the first goal of the season. not a big deal

Nick Robertson gets the first goal of the season! Beautiful forecheck after that hit. Loved that classic shot pass by Letang

Hunter Hodies @hunterhodies.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Here are some of my bold predictions for this Penguins season: - Nick Robertson scores 25+ goals - Erik Karlsson compiles 75+ points - Owen Pickering is called up and never goes back down - We get one more Pens-Caps series in the Sid-Ovi era and the Pens win it.

I feel like that presser was the most...direct I've heard Dubas talk about the team. Sometimes he dances around things in typical GM speak, but today wasn't one of those times.

A lot of positive individual performances tonight: - Murashov was locked in for the first 30 - Kindel looked faster before injury - Kuzmenko and Rust showed great chemistry - Pickering looks night-and-day better - Hallander all over the offensive zone - Hayes with a nasty goal

Hunter Hodies @hunterhodies.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

What a snipe by Avery Hayes. Holy smokes. Comes right after he won that battle down low.

0100

Hunter Hodies @hunterhodies.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Assuming that's it for Murashov, he played fairly well. Was under siege at the start of the period and made some big saves. Let's see how Blomqvist follows it up.

Hunter Hodies @hunterhodies.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

What you're seeing so far from the Kindel line is exactly how it has looked in camp. Those three read so well off one another.

It might be a meaningless preseason game, but I am very glad to have football back since hockey is completely dead right now. Well, that and the Nationals are sadly out of the race now.
