@lennysan @openclaw I built a React Native app in a matter of hours for a passion project I’ve spent years dreaming about. It’s taking longer to get through the App Store Approval process than it took to build this app. Completely built via OpenClaw. I just sent the instructions via Slack and boom!

Do you use @openclaw in some super impactful or fun way? I'd love to know. Please share your 1-2 favorite use cases in the comments. If it's awesome, I'll feature you in the newsletter. Big bonus points for screenshots of what it looks like in action (and any tips for setting it up).

@JoshYohe_PGH I’ve never been more genuinely surprised by a comment thread before. I legit did not see those negative reactions coming.

Here’s my column on Tristan Jarry. Some people liked it. Some thought I was too hard on him. Others thought I should have written about Kyle Dubas instead. You be the judge: nytimes.com/athletic/60646…

I’ll see you over at 🦋

Slowly transitioning off of here. Unfollowing folks that I have been able to find on 🦋 so I can keep checking every few days for the stragglers…

@hayyyshayyy Totally agree. I keep missing the first half of each match just so that I can finish watching the other match play out. At the very least I want them to give us a split view...

both of these matches slap and i realllly wish the scheduling avoided this much overlap

@MarkKaboly Don’t forget to run all decisions past fans first, preferably as social media polls

key to pittsburgh sports success: * fire tomlin and canada • fire shelton and haines • fire sullivan, Reiden, Dubas. i get that right?

@ThePensInsider Not sure what my expectations should be bc this was a long time coming after 3 cups. It just leaves a bad taste bc the window shouldn't be closed yet given how the core is still performing. When the window closed I always expected that to mean the core wasn't performing anymore.

With those 10 in the bag — tell me what YOUR thoughts are on this team? What is their biggest offseason priority? If Sullivan goes, who do you target to replace him? How would you address the goaltending situation? Anything you got — let’s hear it! #Pens

8) W/all roster needed, did #Pens find a new bottom-pair 4 next yr? Shea/St. Ivany were great 2gether last 10 gms & its not being discussed enough. Both are FA’s, but how do u not run em back? If it compels Dubas 2 shed Graves - another tall order - all the better #5PensThoughts

@ThePensInsider That’s exactly what I was thinking while watching (these aren’t on Ned). It’s not like the playoffs are a lock now. Tough decision, but I don’t trust turning the keys over to a guy who struggles in big games and hasn’t played in 10 games.

I’ve seen many suggest Ned is lookin a bit fatigued & that maybe Jarry should start Sat. Tough call w/all @ stake but I agree Ned hasnt been as strong the last few gms. Saying that he was really, REALLY left out 2 dry last night on many A+ chances. Just watch DET’s goals again 🤷🏼‍♂️

@AGretz But over the last decade, it feels like there are 99 “meh” or bad returns for every one of these. So odds are still very slim that it would be worth it. I’d rather have a Guentzel rental on the Pens.

This is probably a good one.

@JoshYohe_PGH The Pens have a great reputation of rehabilitating defensive players who have lost their way (Pettersson, Schultz, Niskanen, etc), but seem to struggle with developing defenseman they draft or that were successful prior to joining the team (like Graves). Why do you think that is?

Good afternoon. Please send along questions for this month's mailbag. Penguins, NHL, the holidays, life, whatever you've got.

@DannyShireyPGH Agree that he’s a disappointment for the role he was put in (and counted on for). His contract seems reasonable for a No. 4 D in my opinion, though ($4.5 AAV). Term sucks, but do you feel like he is overpaid for the role he can play?

Penguins fans going through the same realizations about Ryan Graves that Avalanche and Devils fans went through with him. Dude is a No. 4 D who is deployed like a shutdown guy for no other reason than his size. Kyle Dubas’ biggest miss of the offseason.

@mattvensel What a relief that it’s day-to-day. I was bracing for the worst.

Mike Sullivan confirmed to reporters that Bryan Rust is out tonight. Day to day.

@JeffMarek Love the show. I realize there’s a lot going on with the Canadian teams, but it would be great to hear more about non-Canadian teams on the podcast, too. Would you consider doing multiple podcasts to spread the hockey-talk about a bit more evenly? Maybe division based?

@ThePensInsider How does one get out of a newly signed long-term contract for a goaltender? Asking for a friend…

I have no words

Remind me again: how exactly does another year of Canada help Pickett develop into anything more than Just A Guy?

@AdamAizer @thomas_shaf3r The one player I’m most worried I’m wrong about is (blank)

We're on CBS Sports Network tomorrow (11:00 AM Eastern) and we need your help! Give us some FILL IN THE BLANK for tomorrow's show. Let's see what you got! @thomas_shaf3r

@StoneColdSid That’s the NHL 24 cover we deserve

Geno looks like he is living his best life... #LetsGoPens

@janemcopland Absolutely brilliant. We have a 1 year old golden retriever who will just sit his ass down outside and refuse to move. I’m totally trying this tonight!

When my dog is being an arsehole and won’t come inside, I ring the doorbell. She starts barking and runs inside. This evening, she ran inside and leapt up on the sofa to look out, where she has just been, to see who was there. It’s you, Izzy. You are the one who knocks.
