For the first time since 2008-2009, we've got a repeat Stanley Cup Final, so let's remember when the Penguins and Red Wings put on an epic two years! Patrick begins the episode talking about how, for the first time since 2008-2009, we've got a Stanley Cup Final rematch. He draws on the parallels between the 2009 Penguins and Red Wings and the 2025 Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers. Then, some reports have come out that DJ Smith is still in the mix for the Penguins' head coaching job. He dives into how this would be a misguided hire, but how Smith may be pitching himself to the franchise. Finally, Fan Take Friday returns, and Locked On Penguins listeners delivered. We talk about Jake Guentzel, free agency, trade ideas, and more!
