Well that certainly was a wild ride, wasn’t it? Over the course of 3 seasons, Alex Semin served up some of the nicest passes, filthiest goals, and most infuriating conversations between fans that this organization has seen.

Does it feel like we’ve been here before; Six consecutive home losses, Penguins prepared to invade PNC, and fans not happy about visiting fan? Well, we discuss all this and more on this weeks episode. Josh Yohe from the Pittsburgh Tribune Review joins us and drops some candid insight on the Penguins and we close it out with a great value stout from Olde Hickory Brewing. As always, thanks for listening, and we’ll come see you at the PNC Arena!
As was first reported by Bob McKenzie, Jim Rutherford will be announced as the new general manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins at a 1pm press conference. After only 6 weeks of not being a general manager, Rutherford now finds a new group of employees that can and will report directly to him.
The long-anticipated rumor was made official Monday as Ron Francis was named the new general manager of the Carolina Hurricanes. Longtime GM Jim Rutherford will now serve as president, but will not have anyone report to him (something he seemed pretty damn happy about), and Brian Tatum has been promoted to assistant general manager.
After 20 years of really high highs, and a few real stinkers, the front office of the Carolina Hurricanes has new leadership, and we are here to dissect and discuss what’s next. In this episode we discuss what it means now that this is Ron Francis’ franchise, what’s his first order of business, and how his view may effect this team. We also delve into the upcoming NHL Draft and discuss Nick Ritchie. Playoffs…Playoffs? Yeah, those too. Finally, we enjoy a cool smooth Evil Twin Imperial Doughnut Break Stout and wish we had a honey bun to go with it. Sit back, enjoy, and watch out for the double entendre, this one was fun.
