“Listened faithfully since the inception of the podcast, but question whether I will continue after listening to Frank M. through the first two episodes this season. Gave him a pass for nerves on the first episode, but he was a train wreck in the second episode. Frank mumbled slowly in his monotone voice sounding bored and slightly intoxicated. Worse, though, was how unprepared he was and how little he knew about the games and players he was discussing. He couldn’t even remember who was on the team! I didn’t have a problem with his brutal honesty about the team’s poor start this year (including Malkin) and found it somewhat refreshing. The final straw, though, was Frank’s disingenuous opinion ripping Malkin’s play since 2015 when Kessel arrived. Frank said Malkin had been struggling since Kessel’s arrival (I believe he said Malkin was disinterested or lacking commitment). Did Frank even watch Malkin the last 5 seasons? He appeared to miss two Stanley Cups, a 98 point season, Malkin scoring over a point a game every year during that span and 74 pts. in 55 games (a 110 pt. pace for 82 games) last year. Garrett rightfully jumped in to disagree, but I question how you can put a guy on a podcast about the Pens who doesn’t know anything about the team or the players?”
