Hey guys, welcome to

to double shot of penguins brought to you by the most Southwest Grill.

I'm Dan Kowachar, each of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports, joined by our beat reporter, Taylor

Haas, over there in the box.

Hi, Taylor.

Hi.

Let's talk about the immediate future of this team.

And by that, I mean, you know, when we're doing the NFL on a regular basis, actually, for that matter, when we're

doing Major League Baseball, the conversation tends to be, did the team get better, did the team get

worse? Did the team stay the same? And I know, I know that the correct answer to this is they're

not done yet, so we don't know. But we have an obligation to do a show on the 22nd of July.

So we're going to give it a shot anyway. Are the Penguins a better hockey team right now

than when they left Philadelphia? I don't think so. No, why is that? No.

I, primarily I guess the defense.

It looks like they took a step back and their defense already wasn't great last year.

Goal.

Skinner, Skinner is pretty good.

Miroshov is still pretty much an unknown.

At Ford, at Ford it's hard because you don't, I don't, you don't want to keep going back to like they're not done yet, but they have too many forage.

You don't know which ones they're actually going to be playing.

But like their fourth line was was pretty great last year.

Yes, it was. Like, Norl Ocari, it was the one line they kept together the entire season.
