Hockey is the topic of the day on City of Champions Radio, as host Matt Gajtka welcomes TV sports anchor/reporter Ashley Chase (@AshleyChaseTV) to talk some pucks.
The show begins with the state of the Pittsburgh Penguins, as the franchise probably faces another summer of change after a letdown finish to 2014-15.
Matt and Ashley discuss the culprits behind the short playoff run and anticipate how the team might be different by the time October rolls around.
They also go over the rest of the Stanley Cup playoffs, which are in the middle of the second round. Which teams look most likely to play for a championship next month? And how important of an issue is the lack of goal-scoring?
(Note: A technical issue cut off the end of the show, but you still have 45 solid minutes of hockey talk below!)
