About this listen
A special edition of Off Set with Larry Richert and Jay Caufield featuring NHL analyst and longtime executive Pierre McGuire.
Pierre joins the show to explain why the Pittsburgh Penguins West Coast road trip was no fluke, diving into lineup balance, four line identity, elite goaltending, and the coaching impact of Dan Muse and his staff. The conversation covers smart roster construction by Kyle Dubas and Jason Spezza, why certain NHL teams undervalue their own players, and how recent trades have quietly strengthened the Penguins depth on both ends of the ice.
Plus, Pierre shares behind the scenes insight into NHL management decision making, lessons from legendary GM Craig Patrick, and what separates championship teams from the rest of the league. The episode wraps with a look ahead to Olympic hockey in Milan, what challenges players will face during the break, and why best on best international hockey still matters.
