Podcast: Skating Penguin Network readies for ‘25-’26

Robbie and Snail are back to cover another season of Penguins hockey.

At long last, the Pittsburgh Penguins will be back in action tonight for their preseason opener against the Montreal Canadiens. With the preseason slate ready to begin and training camp now entering full swing, it seems like a good time to remind our readers of The Skating Network Podcast (@PenguinsFFSN), formerly the Pensburgh Podcast.

After separating from the SBNation network back in 2023, the podcast rebranded as The Skating Penguin Network and teamed up with the crew at Fans First Sports Network to join their growing list of podcasts which included many former SBNation shows like our own.

With the 2025-26 season on the horizon, The Skating Penguin Network, hosted by Robbie (@rjnaugle2) and Snail (@MetaSnail91) is ready to get back into the hockey groove and keep our listeners entertained all throughout the upcoming season. A slow (even by NHL standards) offseason saw content dry up as the offseason went along, but now with the team back together in Pittsburgh and ready to hit the ice, the show is ready to move full steam ahead in anticipation of the new season.

Most recently, Robbie and Snail sat down to discuss a laundry list of recent news coming out of the Penguins camp, including the highly anticipated final bow of Marc-Andre Fleury in Pittsburgh, set for this upcoming weekend when Fleury will don the Skating Penguin jersey one final time in his Hall of Fame career.

Robbie and Snail also discussed training camp and some of the battles to expect among the players for highly coveted roster spots and tried to make sense out of yet another blue line log jam that will need to be sorted out before the season begins.

Once the season begins the podcast will return to its normal format of game recaps and weekly shows that include team updates, NHL news, general hockey discussion, mailbags, and more. You can subscribe to the show through your preferred podcast service to make sure you don’t miss any new episodes.

We hope to have you along for the ride throughout the 2025-26 Pittsburgh Penguins season.
