The Penguins were unable to close out 2024 on a winning note, getting tripped up by the Red Wings on New Year's Eve in Detroit. Patrick and Hunter break down the game, including why this team, despite its recent run of good play, continues to not start games on time. They also go on an impassioned discussion about officiating in the NHL, especially last night's matchup. Then, after only getting two of a possible six points in the last week, the Penguins now have less margin for error as the month of January presents a huge challenge with playoff and championship-caliber teams on the schedule. They get you ready for the upcoming month and what the Penguins have to do to stay in the hunt. Finally, to close out the show, they hand out their weekly MVP in a quick Warrior Helmet Wednesday and talk about some expectations for 2025.
