The Pittsburgh Penguins ended the regular season in style on Friday night as they took down the Columbus Blue Jackets, 5-3. They came out like a house on fire in the first period and never let up, even though the Jackets did score three goals. Hunter starts the show by giving out a lot of praise to some of the players who have struggled lately. He starts with Evan Rodrigues and how he had his best game in a Penguin uniform in about six or eight weeks. If he can bring this level of play in the playoffs, does that transform the bottom six? Hunter then shouts out Marcus Pettersson after he got his first goal since September and how some of the D-man badly need to start contributing outside of Matheson and Letang. Hunter then looks at Evgeni Malkin's game and how this was another step in the right direction as he was knifing through guys left and right. After that, he goes into some of the negatives, and yes that includes the PK. He touches on what the Penguins need to clean up on that unit heading into the first round against the Rangers. He then pleads for Kasperi Kapanen to be scratched since he had another AWFUL outing for the Penguins. To wrap up, Hunter does a small look ahead to the series and what some of the big storylines will be for the Penguins to win the series.
