| 0:00.0 | Hi, guys. Welcome to Double Shot of Penguins. I'm Dan Kovachovich of DK. Pittsburgh Sports. This program is brought to you by the Moes Southwest Grill. We're going to talk today about unrestricted free agents, not just Gino. |
| 0:24.0 | Higgeny Malkin, of course, is a pending unrestricted free agent. We've spent a fair amount of time on him over the course of this week, and he's not alone on that list of pending possibilities that Kyle Dubus has to consider. In some cases, I'm sure that he will consider. I want to hear from you |
| 0:39.5 | as well today on this subject. Who are the ones that you want to keep? Who are the ones that you |
| 0:47.2 | would make a priority? And who are the ones where you would say, dude, there's the door. There's |
| 0:54.0 | the door. We saw how you did in the playoffs we have no use for it of |
| 0:57.3 | course i'm talking about anthony mantha mantha was the subject of my daily shot of penguins podcast |

| 1:48.9 | But you can't do that in this sport. |

| 1:57.4 | He's been in the league for a decade and a half and he hasn't got a single playoff goal. |
| 2:02.4 | And he goes into this one coming off his career year with the 33 goals. |
| 2:09.6 | And he goes into the playoffs. |
| 2:11.4 | And it's not just that he didn't score. |
| 2:14.0 | What happens? |
| 2:15.8 | It's that he was for the most part invisible. Made the one terrific play |
| 2:20.5 | to set up Elmer Soderblum. And I don't even think the pass was for Elmer. I think the |
| 2:24.5 | pass was for Ben Kendall. It was still a good play. If it goes to either guy, it's a really good |
