“Tick, Tock” PIT@NYR 03/18/23

A diner just needs to be ‘fine.’ The Tick Tock Diner, an NYC institution that may, in some ways, be the only proper diner in all of Manhattan, will take care of you if you’re hungry. It also just so happens to be across the street from Madison Square Garden, the site of tonight’s fourth-and-final regular season matchup between your Pittsburgh Penguins and the Rangers of New York City. Brian Dumoulin and Jeff Carter continue to dress for the Pens, something that will not change anytime soon, barring injury or a force majeure event of some kind. And those two guys… well, they’re dragging the team #down as much as the core three of Crosby/Malkin/Letang are dragging the team #along. That said, Jeff and Jordan will hope for the best but be emotionally prepared for …anything.

Thank you for listening!! Follow us on Twitter @penspod // @penspod_JT (Jeff) @fidgenewton (Jordan)

Enjoy tonight's Penguins road game versus the Rangers … AND of COURSE:

LETS GO PENS!!

In this episode of Willamette Week's podcast, we sit down with reporter Nigel Jaquiss. Nigel tells us about a story he's been working on for three months.

Nigel takes us behind the scenes of these allegations and walks us through the story.
