Podcast: Both Pens Goalies Are Awesome!

Edit: **Ben Lovejoy has been traded to the Anaheim Ducks for a 5th round pick in 2014**  Unfortunately, it was after the podcast was recorded.  Thanks for nothing, Shero.

Start Fleury, start Vokoun, start them both!  Meesh and Adam delve into the Pittsburgh Penguins' wonderful 4 game winning streak, filled with nice goals, solid defense, and a luxurious "goaltending controversy."  There is a quick recap of news around the NHL and a look back at each win over the streak for the Pens.  Additional time is spent on praising Tanner Glass, applauding the return of a competent powerplay, acknowledging Dan Bylsma's adjustments, and looking at future roster moves.

Podcast: What's Going on With the Pens?

What’s the Penguins’ problem?  Is it the coaching staff, players, powerplay, penalty kill, focus, effort, or system?  The Crosby FTW podcast delves into all of those and more after watching losses to the Jets and Islanders that were interrupted by a win over the Senators.  As usual, you can expect a quick run through of injuries, stats, and signings through the NHL in Week 2.

Podcast: Two Wins - New "Hockey Mecca", One Loss - Trade Everyone

With the chance to finally talk about hockey games that matter, the Crosby FTW team (@HockeyMeesh and @PolishHMR) kick off the discussion with Hockey Meccas...and how they are north of the border.  After that, Meesh goes into a quick recap of Week 1 before Adam turns their attention to the Pittsburgh Penguins.  They recap each game and take a look at the new line changes that the Pens unveiled today.  After the Pens week in review, Meesh covers transactions and injuries around the league before a quick look at the week ahead for the Penguins.

Edit:  As the podcast was recorded, it was announced Mike Knuble will sign with the Philadelphia Flyers in the wake of the Scott Hartnell injury.

Edit #2:  RFA Jamie Benn just signed a 5 year, $26.25 mil deal with Dallas.
