The Penguins' trip to Sweden did not get off to a good start, somehow getting a point, but it was an unacceptable effort. Patrick and Hunter begin the show recapping the Friday afternoon game against the Nashville Predators. They talk about the 2-1 overtime loss, and how the Penguins were lucky to even get a point, as the team did not look ready to play, and paid for it. They touch on how Arturs Silovs put forth maybe the only good effort of anyone wearing a Penguins sweater. (0:00) The good news, however, is the Penguins will get a second crack at the Predators on Sunday. They discuss what the Penguins need to do to get themselves back on track and respond to Friday's awful loss. (12:45) Finally, forward David Kampf has been released by the Toronto Maple Leafs, and being that he's a Kyle Dubas guy, should the Penguins take a flier on the bottom-six forward? (24:35)
