The Pittsburgh Penguins, somehow, someway found a way to win that hockey game on Tuesday night. Hunter starts the show by going over the main reasons as to why they won and it all starts with Casey DeSmith. He turned in his finest performance of the season and was able to make some massive saves in key situations to keep them in it until Bryan Rust struck with less than four minutes remaining. He also credits the penalty kill as that unit killed off four straight penalties, including the one in overtime when it looked impossible. He also loved the effort they gave in the third period and wonders where that was in the first two periods of this game. After that, he shouts out Ryan Poehling for a very underrated play that he made directly after killing the penalty, which led to the OT winner. Hunter also loved that Mike Sullivan decided to flip Rakell and Rust and looks at how both players complement each line that they're on fairly well. Of course, he does have to add that the third line was once again non-existent and that continues to be a problem as the trade deadline gets closer. Hunter even speculates that Sullivan could be icing Carter in bad situations on purpose to get Ron Hextall to wake up a little bit. Finally, Hunter ends the show by arguing how this was a season-saving win as the standings continue to get tighter.
