It's a special edition of Locked On Penguins as we team with Locked On Flyers to give you the perspective of both teams! Hunter and Patrick are joined by Rachel Donner and Russ Cohen to talk all things Penguins-Flyers round one. The crossover episode begins with some common ground: neither the Penguins nor the Flyers were supposed to be here when the season began, let alone be as good as they ended up being. They talk about how both teams got here, what went right, and what you can expect from them. (0:00) Then, it's time to talk about the first round! They discuss their teams' best players, who will surprise in the series, and ultimately what it will take for the Penguins or Flyers to get a win. (16:53) Finally, it's time: predictions! Hunter, Patrick, Rachel, and Russ give their predictions of who will move onto the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs! (29:24)

We now know when the Penguins and Flyers will begin their first-round matchup, and it will be Saturday night in primetime! Patrick and Hunter begin the show by reacting to the NHL FINALLY giving us at least one game time for the Penguins-Flyers series, and it will be Saturday night at 8 p.m. They also look at the rest of the game one schedule, and give their best, educated guess on when the rest of the series will be played. (0:00) Then, the Penguins got back to work today at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex as they prepare for the playoffs. However, there was one forward who looked like the odd man out, and another who looked like he might have earned a spot on the playoff roster. (13:02). Finally, in a rare pre-playoff occurrence, Penguins' captain Sidney Crosby made an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on ESPN on Thursday afternoon. They react to some of Sid's answers and discuss how, for the first time in a long time, it looked like a pretty comfortable Crosby during an interview. (25:40)
