Hey guys, welcome to double shot of penguins.

I'm Dan Kovachwich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports.

I speak this with such an intonation because you didn't think, just like I didn't think,

we would still be talking about hockey season on this particular Tuesday, April 28th,

but we are.

And we are for a reason.

I'm going to be getting into some of that today.

I'm going to also be sharing with you a couple of talks that I had last night in the locker

room with Brian Rust and with Connor Dewar.

I think you'll appreciate these.

It's really, really impressive.

I'm just going to start with that i'm going to i'm going to start with the obvious this is this is a this is a good team it's a tight team it's one that

does not want the season to end and was not willing to give up on the season even after being put into a near

impossible situation. That's where these guys are right now. And they're living like that on the

edge, just approaching every game as if, well, it is exactly what it is.

It's one and done.

Every last one of these.

Every last one of these.

Every shift, every period.

And they're going out there and they're, how do I put this?

They're getting better. They're getting

healthier from a systemic slash performance standpoint. They're not there yet. They're not.
