Should the Penguins bring Emil Bemstrom back for next season?

Locked On Penguins - Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Penguins

It was a rather unimpressive Penguins' tenure for Emil Bemstrom, and on this episode, Hunter and Patrick discuss how he performed, whether they should bring him back, and what comes next. He's the final player in the season in review series (already!) and they look at what he provided the team and what he lacked during his 24-game tenure. They also applaud Dubas for at least trying something new with a younger player before the deadline. After that, they bring back "what they'd fix about the NHL" and today, it's about ESPN and TNT! They discuss how ESPN and TNT have done so far and whether the former should replace its top play-by-play announcer. Pat also brings up a new idea for airing games during the season before Hunter gives a small idea for TNT, even though the network has been better than ESPN. Finally, we have to discuss it...11 years ago today, the Penguins suffered one of their most painful playoff losses of the Crosby era.
