What is your take about Mike Fish coming out of retirement and what that means for a struggling Nick Bones there
Jason Mackey
1:59
Surprised on Fisher coming back. Also that the Preds just automatically took him back. Don't they have about 42 centers now?
2:00
Not sure what it means for Bonino. I'm not David Poile. But I don't think it means he comes to the Penguins.

do you see oleksiak progressing into a an unexpected top defenseman, he is in his early 20's
Jason Mackey
2:00
I saw Oleksiak improving. The Penguins have a history of doing this. ... This much this fast? No, I can't say I saw that. It usually takes some time. It simply hasn't with him. It's been very quick.

Why did Macy's at the waterfront close?
Jason Mackey

I didn't even know it closed. Almost went there last night.

Did you get to attend the all star game?  Is that game awkward for Sid to have to play with people like Claude Giroux and Ovy who he usually battles against?
Jason Mackey
2:02
I did. It was OK. Never a huge fan of exhibitions like that. Sid's fine. He could get along with a wall. Plus, I think the hatred there is more fan-created than anything. There's a bunch of mutual respect among players.

I was really surprised to see Sid and Letang get booed so loudly at the all star game.  Tampa is not really a big rival.  Is it strictly because of them being from the cup winning team?
Jason Mackey
2:02
I think that certainly has a decent amount to do with it.

Jason, does your gut tell you JR will make a move soon or wait closer to trade deadline?
Jason Mackey
2:02
My gut tells me he'll do something soon. Usually doesn't wait. My gut also tells me it wants some coffee.

Thank you. No way. Sorry, pal. This time it's not Better When We're Together.

I listen to Sirrius NHL and they have had a couple guests on talking the trade deadline.  Several times Evander Kane has been linked to Pens...Do the Pens have even a remote interest or are those so called experts simply speculating with no actual evidence?
Jason Mackey
2:03
Go with the latter. It's not that the Penguins haven't checked it out or had conversations, but the ask is likely too much and there's a concern about his personality within their team culture. Not a great fit.

When watching the games they played recently on the west coast it almost seemed like home games from audience reactions to goals.  Are there generally alot of pens fans at away games?
Jason Mackey
2:04
Yes. Whether that's transplants or the Penguins traveling well ... there's usually a large amount of Penguins fans on the road.
2:05
OK, folks. That does it. Gonna head to the Fan for two hours with Joe Starkey. Thanks, as always, for participating. Until next week.
