Streaking Penguins, dealing Steelers, training Pirates on tap on Three Rivers, One Show

City of Champions co-editors Matt Shetler and Matt Gajtka grab their microphones for another edition of Three Rivers, One Show, part of the Fansided Radio Network. All three Pittsburgh pro teams are ripe for discussion this week, as is the Pitt Panthers men’s basketball team.

The Penguins are first, as they start a four-game week against the dangerous Boston Bruins on Tuesday. Matt and Matt look at the Pens’ recent improving play and deliver a midseason report on various aspects of their game, from forward depth to defensive responsibility and goaltending.

NFL free agency is underway, providing plenty of fodder for Steelers talk, too. Which comings and goings have been surprising, and what are some areas the team might address over the course of the offseason? Also, the Pirates’ two elite pitching prospects continue to impress at spring training and the World Baseball Classic. Will Gerrit Cole and Jameson Taillon be the sign of a new era of baseball in Pittsburgh?

Finally, Matt and Matt deliver their Final Thoughts, with Gajtka taking on the growing national legion of Marc-Andre Fleury critics and Shetler lamenting the last Big East basketball tournament for Pitt.
