The Hockey Hall of Famer Mike Lange is not at all surprised by the brick wall in front of the Penguins net as of late, whether it's Tristan Jarry or Casey DeSmith, they've both been proving the doubters (like Randy) wrong. Billy Gardell joins us from Los Angeles, California and describes the difference between opening mail as a kid vs as an adult. Plus, Chet Hayes - rapping son of Tom Hanks - has...

Colby Armstrong's just as shocked as everyone at how successful the Pens are whenever one of the big three is out for any significant amount of time, and he's also pissed at the lack of protection for Sidney Crosby (see last week's hit to the head vs. BUF) Bill remembers what it's like to take in live sports and has some catching up to do, and Randy finds himself a bit too invested in his Netflix...

A disappointing trip to New Jersey reminiscent of a questionable hair style from AJ Soprano, Sidney Crosby being the only superstar that hustles, and welcoming back Kris Letang into good graces - all that and more on this week's Soft Dump with PuckOff's Joe Bartnick See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Ol' 29er isn't really happy with the Penguins performance last week, collecting five of a possible ten points. They'll have to pick it up as the NHL's last place Sabres visit PPG Paints Arena tonight, but scoring outside of the top line has been hard to come by and injuries are mounting amongst the Penguins forwards. Mark Madden is not a fan of the Steelers free agency moves thus far, namely b...

Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette and the Steelers Radio Network thinks JuJu Smith-Schuster's best option was to stay with the Black n' Gold, in a system he's familiar with (that gets hime the ball) as opposed to being a third option in Kansas City, and an outlier in the run-first Ravens philosophy. Next year, however, will most likely be a big pay-day for the Steelers top receiver. Colby...

Evgeni Malkin has been on a tear recently, and how appropriate that he notch is 1,100th career point on a helper from Sidney Crosby - his accelerated play has everyone from his teammates and coaches to the Hockey Hall of Famer Mike Lange himself on notice. Billy Gardell calls in live from Los Angeles to reminisce on some of the classic commercial jingles from yesterday and today that are sure to b...

Joe Bartnick of Puck Off Podcast returns with another Soft Dump ahead of the Penguins first tilt with the reeling Buffalo Sabres, but that doesn't have Joe feeling any better. Brian Dumoulin's return has had a positive impact on a staggering defense that was bailed out by some remarkable play from Tristan Jarry in the final minutes of the third period in Tuesday night's victory over the Rangers. W...

PFT Commenter runs through some of his favorite sports movies and how Kevin Costner has evolved as an actor from baseball player to rancher, Stan Savran takes a look at how the Steelers drafting some misses over the years has led to them drafting the same position in the early rounds in multiple years (Troy Edwards, Plexico Burress, Artie Burns, Terrelle Edmunds to name a few), and Joe Bartnick re...

The Ol' 29er is feeling some type of way after last night's victory against the Rangers, despite the Penguins only registering one third period shot on Sidney Crosby's EN Goal. BUT STILL, there were some serious flashes of tremendous play between the pipes by Tristan Jarry, and of course - "the Shift" late in the second period that ended with Kaspari Kapenen's fourth goal in his last eight shots -...
