1
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: Joining me now. Colin is from the Post Gazette. You

2
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: hear him fill in for me on this program quite

3
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: well on occasion. Always great to talk to Paul's ice. Paul,

4
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: who's your pick to win the Super Bowl? I don't

5
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: feel like I've talked about the Super Bowl enough on

6
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: this program.

7
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 2: I think Seattle's the better team. How about you?

8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they're much better.

9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 4: Mark.

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 3: In fact, I could see this being a game where

11
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 3: if Drake May has a couple of mistakes early, that

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 3: this is a game where, you know, the field could

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 3: kilt pretty quickly and it could get ugly pretty fast.

14
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 3: Maybe not quite like Seattle Denver a few years ago,

15
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 3: but I could absolutely see Seattle sort of running away

16
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 3: because the thing is, I mean, everybody's holding their breath

17
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 3: for Sam Darnold to wake up. And remember he's Sam Donald.

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 3: But he's played really well. And I think if you

19
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: look at that team, they're loaded for bear just about

20
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 3: every position they're really. Receivers are are not. You know,

21
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 3: they don't have a deep receiving core, but they've got

22
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: enough good receivers and they've got an incredible running back.

23
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 3: They got a great offensive line. Their defense is ridiculous.

24
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean I think it would be

25
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 3: a pretty pretty big upset if New England won.

26
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you on Donald.

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: It kind of astounds me that after two great seasons,

28
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: not one, but two, and with different teams, people aren't

29
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: taking him as seriously as they ought to. It is

30
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: amazing that he's coming to his own after being a

31
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: bus for so long. But his one caveat Paul is

32
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: he does turn the ball over.

33
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

34
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: And again, I mean, you know, anytime I always get

35
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: a kick, Mark, you and I should be making millions

36
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: talking about the NFL on TV because all you have

37
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: to do before every game and say, well, keys to

38
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 3: the game, don't turn the ball over? Yeah, see tell

39
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 3: me something we don't know. And so of course, and

40
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: that's always an equalizer. As you said. Wait with Sam

41
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 3: Donald though, Uh, he's gotten better at that. And I

42
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 3: think the other part of it is he's he's uh,

43
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 3: he's got a defense that can bail him out from

44
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 3: time to time. So as long as he doesn't throw

45
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: the pick six or the killer you know pick that

46
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: goes back to the three yard line, Uh, he can

47
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 3: maybe survive one or two mistakes. I think the thing

48
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: about him, though, is, boy, he can really make he

49
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: can throw the football. I mean, I can see why

50
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 3: people were enamor with his talent coming out of college

51
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: because the guy really he can throw every pass and

52
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: and when he's rolling, uh, he's pretty downright scary in

53
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: many ways.

54
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: Why do you think he was a bust for for

55
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: the first three teams?

56
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it says something about you know,

57
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 3: the organcies he was with, and I think when it

58
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 3: came to the Vikings, I mean, you know, obviously Jets

59
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 3: and Carolina, I mean, but when it came to the Vikings, Mark,

60
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 3: I think what happened was they they drafted JJ McCarthy

61
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: and convinced themselves he was their guy.

62
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: And I can see that.

63
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: But what they should have done last year was franchise

64
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: Arnold for this year. He should have kept one more

65
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: year and played it year by year exactly.

66
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: He just won fourteen games for you, And I know

67
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 3: he wasn't great in the playoff game, but the bottom

68
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 3: line is he just won fourteen games or whatever it was,

69
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 3: or you know, whatever it was, twelve thirteen whatever, I

70
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 3: forget twelve thirteen, fourteen whatever. He and the thing was,

71
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 3: there was no indication that JJ McCarthy was going to

72
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: be ready this year to be your guy. And so

73
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: to me, you know, I get it when a younger

74
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 3: guy gets drafted and you're ready to turn it over

75
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 3: to him, But I don't think there was any reason

76
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: to believe that JJ McCarthy was going to be your

77
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 3: guy immediately. So I just feel like when you look

78
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: at it that way, they needed to do probably a

79
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: little bit more due diligence on JJ McCarthy and make

80
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: sure that they were able to really kind of get

81
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: a long look at him, which, as you said, just

82
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 3: franchise Darnold and you get.

83
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: Another year out of all you do is head Your

84
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: bet there would have been simple, what are you making

85
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: the Steelers' coaching staff so far? Especially this higher today

86
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: of Angelicio, the the tight ends guy who's gonna be

87
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator?

88
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: Although not really.

89
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 3: Well. I got to know Brian actually pretty well when

90
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 3: I you know, it was a pitbeat reporter back when

91
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 3: he was there under Wannae at pitt uh so he

92
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 3: was there for four years. Here here is my thoughts, Mark,

93
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 3: if you're going to hire an offensive coordinator for a

94
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 3: head coach that wants to call plays you better hire

95
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: somebody like Brian Angelico because the thing about him is

96
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 3: he's kind of a quiet, behind the scenes guy, but

97
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 3: he's a grinder, you know. He's a guy that will

98
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: install the offense. He's a guy that will, you know,

99
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 3: teach the offense. He's a guy that will help refine

100
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 3: it some. He's a guy that will be in the

101
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 3: film room. You know, he's not quite asleeps in the

102
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 3: office guy, but he's close. He's a grinder, you know.

103
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: And and he's the kind of guy Mike McCarthy's really

104
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 3: gonna try and be the head coach and call the

105
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 3: plays and everything else. I mean, he needs somebody that

106
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: he can really rely on that.

107
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: I think in the grand scheme with McCarthy calling the plays,

108
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,799
Speaker 1: Angelikio is going to be a real detail guy, right exactly.

109
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: And that's what he is. He's a grinder. He's a

110
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: guy that's gonna watch film like like crazy, and he's

111
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 3: gonna install the offense and teach the offense to the

112
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 3: players and all that other stuff. He does all the

113
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 3: grunt work basically, and you know what, he's the kind

114
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 3: of coach that you need for that position.

115
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 4: Now.

116
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: I don't hate the staff.

117
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: I like tiring Patrick Graham, the defensive coordinator, although I

118
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: don't know how he's gonna teach those old dogs new tricks,

119
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: especially when TJ. Watt doesn't even want to line up

120
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: anywhere different. But McCarty's getting a little stick for hiring

121
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: all guys he knows. But don't most coaches in every

122
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: sport do that.

123
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean yeah, for the most part, you're gonna

124
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 3: hire guys that you're familiar with and bring guys in

125
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 3: that you work with or that come recommend with guys

126
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 3: that you work with. I think one of the things

127
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: that people are giving them McCarthy a hard time with

128
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 3: is like his his staff is starting to feel like, uh,

129
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 3: you know, you know, like a like a reunion, a

130
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: reunion tour, and you know, you hope that maybe there'd

131
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 3: be some new younger, you know, really young newer kind

132
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 3: of you know, new blood kind of coaches that.

133
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: Would come in if they wanted that, they would hire

134
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: Shoela or Shielhouse, right.

135
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: But my feeling is, you know, bring in a couple

136
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 3: of you know, quality control guys, bringing a couple of

137
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 3: younger guys, you know what I mean, They're gonna give

138
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 3: you maybe just a little bit a different look and

139
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: a different energy than what you have with all the

140
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 3: guys that you're familiar with and used to. But for me,

141
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 3: I mean I look at his coaching staff and it

142
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 3: feels like he's hiring guys that have been accomplished at

143
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 3: what they've done. So if that's the case, I guess

144
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: we just have to see it work. But as you said, Mark,

145
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 3: I can't wait till the first time what's the name

146
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 3: Patrick Graham tried to ask TJ want to do something

147
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: he doesn't want to do. That's gonna be really fun

148
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 3: to watch.

149
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: Paul, I've been waiting for a couple of days to

150
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: ask you this. I was tempted to call you, but

151
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: I thought it would be better on the radio. You're

152
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: a big AAU basketball guy. You've been involved with the

153
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: amateur sports, your sons, your daughter. I mean, you're right

154
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: on top of things. What do you make of this

155
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: scoring factory, the basketball prep school? It strikes me more

156
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: as a money grab and unnecessary elitism.

157
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: But I could be wrong.

158
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, unfortunately, Mark, this is what is happening

159
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 3: to high school basketball, you know, And again, it's no

160
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 3: different than AMC Academy. And all these other places that

161
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 3: are basically just basketball factories, you know that that are

162
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 3: basically quasi schools. And you're right, it's obviously a money grab.

163
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 3: And it's obviously one of those things where they're selling

164
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 3: the idea that they're training you know, super elite training

165
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 3: kids and all this other stuff. But the reality is

166
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 3: there's going to be a lot of money that's going

167
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 3: to be the kids.

168
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: They're lining of the parents. They want their money, and

169
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: they'll tell them anything to get it. Like your kid

170
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: could play in the NBA. All he needs to do

171
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: is come here, right.

172
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 3: There's that There's that factor too, uh. And the other

173
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 3: factor is, you know, uh, they will then become and

174
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 3: they can claim that they don't you know. And and

175
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 3: I like the guy's heath and runs, and I think

176
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 3: he's a really good too, But at the end of

177
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 3: the day, you know, he's somebody that's always trying to

178
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 3: you know, distance himself from AAU. But I mean, they're

179
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 3: they're gonna act like a quase quasi agent for these kids,

180
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Don't don't play for one second.

181
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 3: They're won't be money flowing the other way from you know,

182
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 3: mysterious dark nil deal type things that flow through the

183
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 3: place as well, and then mysteriously kids end up going

184
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 3: to certain programs. You know, it's all part of the

185
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: same thing. The only difference is what they're doing. And

186
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: with what some of these really high level AAU programs

187
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 3: do is they're basically trying to sell the idea that

188
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 3: they're that they have a euro model, that they're they're

189
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: training kids in the euro model, and uh, you know,

190
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 3: as if you know that that's that that makes it different.

191
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: Well, don't you think it's better, Paul that kids just

192
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: play high school basketball where they live with their friends,

193
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: Because I don't think that like TJ. McConnell or Dewan

194
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: Blair needed an academy to be found. I think if

195
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: you're good enough, you'll get found well.

196
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 3: And and recruiting goes to AAU anyway. So you know

197
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 3: what they're selling is and it's not even that they're

198
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 3: selling that. You know, they're they're offering some sort of

199
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: comprehensive training you can't get with your high school from

200
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 3: I suppose there's something to be said for that. But

201
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 3: here's the thing, Mark there. You can walk down the street,

202
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 3: you can walk out of your studios, and walk down

203
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 3: the street and you trip over four or five guys

204
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 3: who are trainers, you know, to charts. These parents forty

205
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 3: or fifty dollars an hour to train their kids. So

206
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 3: if you really want to get training for your kid,

207
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 3: you don't need to send them there. He's gonna get

208
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 3: recruited through AAU, you know, if he goes and he

209
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 3: plays with the right AAU teams, and there's a billion

210
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 3: of them out there. I agree with you. I don't

211
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 3: know that we need to do this, but it's become

212
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 3: a thing, especially over the last ten years, where the

213
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 3: top players all have to move in and you know,

214
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 3: they all have to they all feel like they have

215
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 3: to go places in order to be recruited at a

216
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 3: higher level. I don't think you need to do it. Actually,

217
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 3: you still don't need to do it if you play

218
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: for the right AAU program and if you really need training,

219
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 3: like I said, there's sixty million trainers out here that

220
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 3: are willing to do it for you know, fifty bucks

221
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 3: an hour or something.

222
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 4: Are you an.

223
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: Olympics guy, Paul, what's the best thing for you about

224
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: the Winter Olympics?

225
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: What are you likely to watch?

226
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: Oh? The hockey? I mean, I love the hockey, but

227
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 3: beyond the hockey, I mean, I actually enjoy the skiing.

228
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 3: I mean I just think when I watch those people,

229
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 3: they're crazy, Like, there's no way I'd be going down

230
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: the mountains that fast with you know, two little boards

231
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 3: under my feet. There's no way these people. There's especially

232
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 3: the one where I don't even know what's called, where

233
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 3: they have to go in and out of the flags,

234
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 3: you know what I'm talking about.

235
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, like, oh, what the the the downhill? I

236
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: don't know it has a name, but yeah.

237
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I enjoy that. I enjoy the skiing anything

238
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 3: like that. But Bob's letting skiing, the lodes, all that

239
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 3: stuff where you're going down the hill a million miles

240
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 3: an hour. I think that that's really a lot of fun.

241
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 2: Oh it's called the slalom. Here we go the slalom.

242
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: Yeah no, I I well, they would never ask me

243
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: to do that, but I would never consider it at

244
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: any rate. Now I'm rooting for Canada because I know

245
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: sid Does that make me a bad American?

246
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 3: Yeah? I don't think so. I mean, you know, in

247
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 3: that sport, it's the one sport you probably could get

248
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 3: away with rooting for you know, somebody other than the US.

249
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 3: You know, I think if you're rooting for somebody in

250
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 3: some other sports, you might be a bad American. But

251
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 3: if you're a fan of, you know, the of Sydney Crosby,

252
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 3: and you're a fan of you know, you know, the

253
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 3: Penguins and everything he's meant to the Penguins, I mean,

254
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 3: he's the captain of that team too, you know. I mean,

255
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 3: I don't I don't think. It's not like you're rooting

256
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 3: against Americans unless they play against Canada, right, I mean,

257
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 3: you want sid to get a gold. I absolutely can

258
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 3: see that. That would be something that I would find acceptable.

259
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 3: You know, I think if you vote, you know, if

260
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 3: you rooted for the Russians because of Gino, I might

261
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 3: have a problem with that. But they're not even allowed

262
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: to do it anymore, are they.

263
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: Well not right now, they're not, which devalues the games.

264
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: But that's a discussion far too political. Paul, great stuff.

265
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: I appreciate the input.

266
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: I'm out. That's the Great Paul's ice brought to us.

267
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: By eighty four lumber Dynasty partner the Pittsburgh Steelers. We

268
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: got Tyler Kennedy talking hawk at the bottom of the

269
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: hour a Mark Mann one oh five niney X.

270
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,359
Speaker 5: Tomorrow nights, the Pens go head to head against the Sabers.

271
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 6: Game time is seven. Our coverage starts at six here

272

00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 5: You do so, we might as well have a good time.

275
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,599
Speaker 5: Toe got to got d X at one.

276
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,360

278
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 2: We got one call right now. We'll get to it.

279
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 3: Man.

280
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: The Washington Post is closing down their sports department.

281
00:13:53,440 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: That sucks, but nothing less forever. The future. Journalism is

282
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 2: bleak because nobody wants it. You don't want it.

283
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: You want to be told your team's good. You want

284
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: fanboy journalism. You like that only fans cover the pirates

285
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: in this town. That said, the Post had some great writers.

286
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: Here's a lead from Shirley Povich writing about a Washington

287
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: Redskins Cleveland Browns game in nineteen sixty two. The Redskins, ironically,

288
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: I'm only using that name because it's relevant to the story.

289
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: They were the last all white team in football. That

290
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: was in nineteen sixty two. Because the owner insisted on

291
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: that and when Cleveland beat Washington, Shirley Povich wrote, Jim

292
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: Brown born ineligible to play for the Redskins, integrated their

293
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: end zone three times yesterday unquote.

294
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: That's good writing, Dickie.

295
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: By the way, more news on that Pineren deal him

296
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: going to the La Kings for some bummy player and

297
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: a couple draft picks. He did get a two year

298
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: exit extension and the Rangers did pick up half his

299
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: ticket for the rest of the season. Also, we've been talking, however,

300
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: absurdly about the Pirate's reported interest of of Framber Valdez

301
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: the Houston Pitchers a free agent, and they're not going

302
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: to get him Ken Rose until he just throws that

303
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: crap out there, because you've got to provide content. But

304
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: here's the more realistic Pirates news. They have invited Mike

305
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: Clevenger to camp. He's thirty five. He went zero to

306
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: two with a seven point nine four ERA last year.

307
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: His last good year was twenty twenty three with Chicago

308
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: White Sox. He was better than that before that for Cleveland.

309
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: But the Pirates aren't a Framber Valdez team, They're a

310
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: Mike Clevenger team.

311
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 2: Let's go to Dawn Don you're all with Mark.

312
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 4: What man?

313
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: What?

314
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 4: I many just got a couple quick comments on the

315
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 4: on the Pens last night. Just seems like the two

316
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 4: Bogie teams, for whatever reason in the regular season to

317
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 4: send and playing at the Islanders.

318
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: They just can't say, Well, they've had trouble with the

319
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: Islanders for years. Look at their biggest playoff disappointments nineteen

320
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: seventy five, nineteen eighty one, nineteen ninety three. To a

321
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: lestri extent, I suppose in in twenty twenty one, it's

322
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: it's always been the Islanders.

323
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 2: They're a problem.

324
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Sid Sid getting speared by Pad Joe. You know,

325
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 4: even though that was incidental, it looked like it wasn't incidental.

326
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't. It was absolutely intentional. I bet Tyler Kennedy

327
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: when he joins me in a few minutes, agrease. What

328
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: the center does is a dirty player like Pego. You

329
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: get down real on the draw and get your hands

330
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: low to expose a foot of the butt end. Then

331
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: when you swing your stick to get to draw, the

332
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: butt end goes into the guys.

333
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, old check Olchek was saying, oh no, that was accidental.

334
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 4: I mean, I know you're not a big sanagoonery, but

335
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 4: I mean somebody's got a step off there.

336
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: No, not in a game that's up for grabs against

337
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: the team you're fighting for a position with. You can't

338
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: do it, then you can do it later, like if

339
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: the game's decided late, which it was not, if you

340
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: play them later in the season, which they will. But no,

341
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: you can't even the score right then and there. The

342
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: points are paramount. Thank you for the call up. Next,

343
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: we'll see what Tyler Kennedy thinks.

383
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: Always a pleasure to talk to the Stanley Cup champion

384
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 1: for the Penguins in two thousand and nine. You see

385
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: him on sports Net Pittsburgh. It's Tyler Kennedy t K

386
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: A lot of sidebars the last night's game. What about

387
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: Schaefer on defense for New York scoring that first goal?

388
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: He just controls the game and he's eighteen years old.

389
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him play, you know, an entire game

390
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: very often. I thought he was incredible, what say you.

391
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 3: Same?

392
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 4: I thought the way he skates, the way, the confidence

393
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 4: he has in the eighteen year old, like what a

394
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 4: guy to get for a franchise, kind of a like

395
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 4: a cornerstone defenseman for them, someone that they can build

396
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 4: for years around. Again, I'm very impressed with though. I

397
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 4: think he's got fifteen sixteen goals now in this first

398
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 4: year in NHL and his ceiling is extremely, extremely high.

399
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 4: But the confidence, the speed, all that stuff makes him

400
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 4: such an lethal player.

401
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 2: Is it just me?

402
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: Or as Ben Kindall getting a second wind? About a

403
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, I thought he might have hit

404
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,239
Speaker 1: the wall. But these last few games, including last night

405
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: against Schaefer, he's looked pretty good.

406
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's competitive. I think he you know,

407
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 4: he looks across and you know, as players, you know

408
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 4: who's your your age, you know who the draft was,

409
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 4: you know all that stuff going into games, and I

410
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 4: think obviously he wants to put his best foot boward.

411
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 4: He wants to compete against their young guys too. Obviously,

412
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 4: the big two goals in Vancouver, coming back, scoring another

413
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 4: one at home. Whenever he gets in a little slump

414
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 4: where he cools off, he ends up, he ends up,

415
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 4: heating up, he ends up, you know, scoring in bunches,

416
00:20:55,520 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 4: getting his confidence back. He's a young guy that I

417
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 4: I don't see his energy change from the first period

418
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 4: to the third. He's got that young leg energy, which

419
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 4: is great to see. But he's been doing very, very well,

420
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 4: and it's great when you have guys like that depth

421
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 4: scoring the next generation, playing well, scoring goals and helping

422
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 4: your team win. Obviously, he's not going to be perfect

423
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 4: every night, but he's definitely trending in the right direction

424
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 4: for the Penguins.

425
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: When you turn pro t K, what was your first

426
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: year like as far as the physical demands.

427
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 4: Well, The first one was a paycheck mark. I couldn't

428
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 4: believe how much I was getting paid to play hockey house.

429
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 4: I was showing all the guys back home by paychecks.

430
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 4: But after that, the big one was just the strength

431
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 4: of the guys that been around. You know, I never

432
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 4: felt guys that were men hitting me so hard from

433
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 4: practice with guys like Brooks or pick guys like Tara.

434
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 4: Just just the strength and speed and the professionalism of

435
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 4: the NHL players with something that I really had to

436
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 4: focus on, had to really take care and keep my

437
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 4: head out there. Became pet up out there because you know,

438
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 4: there's guys out there that can hurt you, you know,

439
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 4: and there's guys that if they grab you and you're

440
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 4: not ready for it, like if things can't go wrong.

441
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 4: So I think just the physical strength was the biggest

442
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 4: difference I saw going into the NHL. And then the grind,

443
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 4: you know, getting on a flight after games, you know,

444
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 4: going to another city, flying around like you are on

445
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 4: a schedule mark from September right, so you're done, like

446
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 4: almost every day is planned out for you. And that

447
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 4: was like another real adjustment for me. From you know,

448
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 4: from the AHL to juniors, I'd be riding the bus everywhere.

449
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 3: Now I was.

450
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 4: Jumping on flights and flying across the world, like across

451
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 4: the country and finding different cities.

452
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 3: This and that.

453
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 4: It does take a toll on you, and I do

454
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 4: think it takes time to adjust to that lifestyle.

455
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: We're talking to Tyler Kennedy Stanley Cuff champ here on

456
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: one oh five ninety x TK. The Penguins lost last

457
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: night and over time, not a terrible game, but some

458
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: bad moments. They look really awful in the loss to

459
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: Auto of the night before. Are these two Ausins just

460
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: a hiccup or is it something to yet worry about.

461
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 4: Well, I think they are cooling off.

462
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 3: I think.

463
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 4: They're They're losing their kind of composure, their structure a

464
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 4: little bit. They look a little tired. This break can't

465
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 4: come soon enough for them. In my opinion, I think

466
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 4: breaks for the Penguins help the Penguins so much. When

467
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 4: you think of the Penguins when they play their best hockey,

468
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 4: it's always after a break from coming back from the

469
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 4: offseason and starting training camp and starting the beating of

470
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 4: the year. The Penguins are always one of the better

471
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 4: teams coming out of the gates after Christmas they've played

472
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 4: so well, it seems like they're cooling off a little bit.

473
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 4: They might worry. No, No, I'm not, because there's one

474
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 4: game left before. You know, there's a pretty significant break

475
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 4: that a lot of guys get to recharge their batteries,

476
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 4: and guys that you want them to recharge their batteries, right,

477
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 4: Guys like Milkin, this will be such a huge difference

478
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 4: for him. I think this will help him a ton

479
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 4: at an older age. So I'm not too worried about

480
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 4: how the last two games have gone.

481
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: Stu Skinner's been mostly good after a rocky start, but

482
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: he was awful last night. He's a lot ten goals

483
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: on his last thirty seven shots. I just think he's

484
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: in a bad patch. But it was weird last night.

485
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 2: TK.

486
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: He didn't let up bad goals, but they weren't great

487
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: goals either.

488
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 2: They just kept shooting and they kept going in.

489
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, and sometimes goalies just don't track the puck, you know,

490
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 4: from especially from those points. You know, they didn't track

491
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 4: the puck very well, and like he didn't track the

492
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 4: puck very well. And besides the last two games he

493
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 4: was the hottest goalie in the league. Ye the last

494
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 4: you know, since since the break, So like, I'm not

495
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 4: too worried about him, you know, to.

496
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 3: Be honest, like it happens.

497
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 4: But last night I really did feel like two of

498
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 4: those goals, like the tips, they were so from so

499
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 4: far out that it's hard to blame him even though

500
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 4: it doesn't look good. I know, the one from the point.

501
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: That was a tough look because the time goal to

502
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: me was the bad one. Even some of the other

503
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: longer sutch tk he was screened or whatever, but the

504
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: time goal was the worst one.

505
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, because it was so far out, and you would

506
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 4: think for a bigger goalie, he would be better at

507
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 4: tracking goalies because he's bigger as he can look around guys,

508
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 4: and he didn't do that last night. And again our goal.

509
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 4: He's gonna have hiccups. Yeah, maybe this is a hiccup

510
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 4: for him. But do I have confidence because what I

511
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 4: do see and I always see with him, he battles, right,

512
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 4: He's a guy that's gonna battle for you, and he's

513
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 4: gonna put his best foot forward. Last night he wasn't

514
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 4: his best, but I would think, you know, when the

515
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 4: when the cards are on the line, I think he's

516
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 4: gonna play well for the Penguins moving forward.

517
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: Trust him more than jarr even after a bad game

518
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:24,959
Speaker 1: last night, how about you.

519
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's been around. I think when you

520
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 4: go to the finals two years in a row, you

521
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 4: learn how to regroup, how to put big games, bad

522
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 4: losses behind you, because you have no choice when you

523
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 4: go deep into playoffs. So this is something he could

524
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 4: be used to. And knows how to flip the page

525
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 4: and a lot of great goalies know how to do that,

526
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 4: and I think he's one of them.

527
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: Why is Sid struggling because he is and looks frustrated.

528
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: It's It's totally uncharacteristic, isn't it.

529
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it could because you know some of the

530
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 4: guys are moving in and out of the lineup. Obviously.

531
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 4: I think he does play better when Russ is on

532
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 4: his wing and he's got guys that he's been playing

533
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 4: with lately.

534
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 3: I don't know.

535
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 4: Maybe the Olympic break is on his mind too. You know,

536
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 4: that's the last thing you know he would want, or

537
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 4: anyone would want if something like that would get if

538
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 4: he get hurt or something. But yeah, he's just in

539
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 4: a little bit of a cold spell. He looks a

540
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 4: little bit off. He's a guy that when you watch

541
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 4: him for so many years, can you kind of know

542
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 4: when he's frustrated and you know he's frustrated then, and

543
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 4: that could be just the puckets and go in the

544
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 4: back of the net for him, because at the beginning

545
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 4: of the year, everything he wanted to go in or

546
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 4: he tried to put in, he went in for him.

547
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 4: And now it's it's not going that way. And again,

548
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 4: sometimes it's frustrating for a guy that holds himself to

549
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 4: hutch such a high standard when things don't go his way,

550
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 4: it's it's easy for him to get frustrated.

551
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: What was your take on paz Jo but ending him,

552
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: It was he's played off as an accident. But I've

553
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: always had this diary TK when the center's don low

554
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 1: on the stick and expose his butt end, sometimes he's

555
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: looking to do that.

556
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 2: I thought it was.

557
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: Very sneakily intentional on Pago's part.

558
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 4: One I couldn't agree more. When you expose your butt end, right,

559
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 4: you always have to be control of your stick. But

560
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 4: when those guys do that, I think when they lose

561
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 4: a draw and they come across the top of their

562
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 4: top hand and come down like they're hitting you with

563
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 4: the butt end. They know that or if they come up,

564
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 4: they have to be aware of that, and I think

565
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 4: the refs have to be aware of that. And it's

566
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 4: very A lot of guys do that where they choke down,

567
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 4: but not many of them choke down where they expose

568
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 4: a butt end, and smaller guys they get underneath a

569
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 4: lot of guys. In Pajo's a smaller guy and he

570
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 4: gets underneath guys, so he does catch guys and sometimes

571
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 4: they get the benefit of a doubt because he's a

572
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 4: smaller guy.

573
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 2: Who's your pick an Olympics K.

574
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say it's gonna be. I think it's gonna

575
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 4: be Team Canada. I think they have McKinnon, I think McDavid.

576
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,719
Speaker 4: They're two powerhouses guys that can take over games. You

577
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 4: just need one or two of those guys to get

578
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 4: hot and that can win it for you. I think

579
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 4: those guys Canada is gonna win. I'm very interested to

580
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 4: see how the US is gonna do.

581
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 3: I don't like their.

582
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: Roster TK I've been unspoken. I can't believe they left

583
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: off like Caufield, Robertson, Hudson.

584
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 2: They're just so many guys I would have picked.

585
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, And what's interesting is I think like a team

586
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 4: like Sweden or Finland, that's I always feel like those

587
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 4: teams come in and they have such a great chemistry,

588
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 4: almost like better chemistry than Canada in the US for

589
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 4: some reason, and I'm not sure it's because they play

590
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 4: longer together, they grew up more close knitted or or whatever,

591
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 4: but I feel like it's gonna be Canada and one

592
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 4: of those teams instead of the US. And sometimes I

593
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 4: even think it might not even be Canada if they

594
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 4: don't find chemistry off the start. Because these quick tournaments,

595
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 4: if your team is starts clicking like you can go

596
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 4: extremely far. You can upset a ton of teams. And

597
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 4: if your team has too many superstars and no one

598
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 4: really knows how to fill in their roles, that's where

599
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 4: your team can get in trouble. So there's a lot

600
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 4: of different factors on why I think some other teams

601
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 4: might get to the finals and why some other teams won't.

602
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 4: But I still think Canada has those top guys that

603
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 4: are are extremely extremely tough to stop, especially when they're

604
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 4: excited to be a to be going to the Olympics

605
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 4: for the first time.

606
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder about Canada's goaltending. I'm not the biggest

607
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: Bennington fan, but they didn't win it the Four Nations,

608
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: and I think I agree with you totally. Sometimes you're

609
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: as good as you start out in a short tournament,

610
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: and Canada plays the.

611
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 2: Checks right off the bat.

612
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: I don't see the checks as a metal likelihood, but

613
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: I think they can play.

614
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it all depends how guys start off right. It's honestly, Mark,

615
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 4: I think starts of tournaments, even the beginning of years.

616
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 4: I think when you think of Kindall, you know, he

617
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 4: had a great start to the year right he came out,

618
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 4: He started some big goals that kicked off a great

619
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 4: year for him. And then when he think of igor

620
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 4: chinakof coming here, I think what kind of propelled him

621
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 4: to where he is now? Is scoring early, finding chemistry early,

622
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 4: and then it just snowballed. So when you think of

623
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,479
Speaker 4: these tournaments, when you get a team that when you

624
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 4: have linemans, how you feel good and feel like you

625
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 4: can play against anyone. It's anyone's game. And when you

626
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 4: think of the Checks, is there the yagers that were

627
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,239
Speaker 4: there you know many years ago? Probably not, But do

628
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 4: they still have an unbelievable team. Yeah, and could they

629
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 4: upset Yeah. I think any one of those teams of

630
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 4: the big countries can upset anyone.

631
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: Before we go TK, just back to the Penguins quickly.

632
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: They're at Buffalo tomorrow night. What do you make a

633
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo because they're on this unbelievable one. They put themselves

634
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: pretty firmly in a playoff position. They got a great

635
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: young defense. Are they as good as their record lately?

636
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 4: I think so. I think all those first round picks,

637
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 4: all the draft picks, I think I do think they're

638
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 4: the real deal. Sometimes you know, some teams know, or

639
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 4: a guy stamped up in the dress room, or something

640
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 4: happens throughout a game or a couple of games where

641
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 4: the culture changes. And I feel like the culture has

642
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 4: changed a little bit because they were going through again

643
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 4: tough times within the year, but now it seems like

644
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 4: everyone's falling into spots. They have that high end skill,

645
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 4: they have guys that are buying in. I think they're

646
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 4: the real deal, and I'm excited for them. I love

647
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 4: that Buffalo has a good team. That's a great city,

648
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 4: a sports city. They a great hawk and they deserve

649
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 4: to have a really good team, and they haven't had

650
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 4: one in a real long time, so I'm really hopeful

651
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 4: that they are what I think they are and that

652
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 4: they do make a little bit of a playoff push

653
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 4: and make the playoffs.

654
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,280

00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: the Iheartbatia app. Let's go to Antonio, Antonio, ask Mark anything?

683
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 9: Hey, Mark uh. The trade that Dubos made for China

684
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 9: CoV it kind of reminds me of the trade that

685
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 9: Ruppeford did for Haglin and the fact that it kind

686
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 9: of like changes the dynamic of the team.

687
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 3: What say you?

688
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 9: Although Chinakov also obviously is a better scorer.

689
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 2: And you never know how much.

690
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: A trade's good to matter till seasons in, this could

691
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: just be a hot start for China cop and I

692
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: would argue that the China koff offers more tangible things

693
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: than Haglan because he scores.

694
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,760
Speaker 2: Haglin had a lot of trouble scoring.

695
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: You may remember that he was more a forour checker

696
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: than anything else. And a great one. And like you said,

697
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 1: his speed along with the other guys that Jr. Brought in,

698
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: like Kessel and Dally and Schultz, and there was one

699
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: other really fast player was a Benino.

700
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 2: He brought up five or six guys.

701
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 9: Who'd you say, thinking about that too, because you do

702
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 9: have kindle as all, so like thinking like it just

703
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 9: can't be one player that changes the dynamic. But you

704
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 9: do have kindle.

705
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 4: You do have a few other fast players.

706
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, But the thing is.

707
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: All those trades that that Rotherford made, including Hagland, made

708
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 1: the whole team fast. I don't think Chinnikoff makes the

709
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,439
Speaker 1: whole team anything, but he's scoring a lot of goals.

710
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 1: Just that could turn out to be a momentous trade

711
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: that could turn out to be the Penguins version of

712
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 1: Vancouver getting Naslin from the Penguins for crap for stowing

713
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: off back when maybe finally that trade came in the

714
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: other direction. Let's go to Daniel Daniel last Mark anything.

715
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 4: Hey, Mark, I was curious if you or if anybody

716
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 4: knew an update on that fan that fell at ppg uh.

717
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 4: My wife and I were at the game the other

718
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 4: night and we were discussing it, and I was like,

719
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 4: you know what, I never got an update.

720
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: On I didn't know if a fan fell at PPG

721
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 1: just the other night.

722
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 4: No, no, we were there the other night.

723
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 2: Oh youah, No, I have no idea. I didn't hear

724
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 2: anything about that.

725
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean I knew, I knew a fan fell,

726
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: but I would assume if the if the result was calamitous,

727
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: we would have heard about it, or the pirates would

728
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: have him throw out the first pitch.

729
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 3: Nah.

730
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right, thank you.

731
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 2: For the call. Let's go to a talkback.

732
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 6: You were talking about the SNL your favorite characters earlier.

733
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 3: Tom.

734
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 6: I was wondering if you're a fan of Sick and

735
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 6: City Television and any of your favorite characters in that program. Thanks, Matt,

736
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 6: have a good day.

737
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: A big fan of Second City Television from back when

738
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: it's tough to remember the characters. I like, was it

739
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 1: Joe Flaherty played Guy Cavallero, the station manager or owner

740
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: whatever he was, you know, Uh, but that's just the

741
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: marvelous group. I mean Martin Short. I think Martin Short

742
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: played Ed Grimley first on Second City. Although I gotta

743
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: be honest, I'm not the biggest Martin Short fan. I

744
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: don't find him as funny as some do. I thought

745
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: everything John Candy did was great, and everything Catherine I mean,

746
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,720
Speaker 1: just a great troop of comedians.

747
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 2: Uh, let's go to Jordan. Jordan ask Mark anything.

748
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 4: Hey, what's up? Mark?

749
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 10: I am a bit of I'm a Penguins casual. I've

750
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 10: watched all the Cup runs. It's really fun. But I

751
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 10: wouldn't say I'm a student of the NHL. Here's my question.

752
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 10: It feels like every time we won the Cup we

753
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 10: had goalies that got hot and a randomly overperforming third line.

754
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 10: I remember, you know, the with Cook and Tyler Kennedy's

755
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 10: I don't think there.

756
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: Was anything random about the way Stall, Cook and TK played.

757
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: I think there was anything random about the HBK line

758
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. Things don't happen randomly when you win

759
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 1: four series to get a Stanley Cup.

760
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 2: There's nothing at all random about that.

761
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 10: I agree. I guess my question, just as a casual,

762
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 10: is is that the key to win a Cup, like

763
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 10: hot goaltending, you need good first two lines and then

764
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 10: if your third line can perform like a second line.

765
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 10: Is that I just I haven't studied the teams.

766
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,720
Speaker 1: That Okay, when the Penguins won their five Stanley Cups,

767
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you who the MVP of each was.

768
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: The MVP of each was Mary Lemieux, then Mary Lemieux,

769
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: then if Guinea Malkin, then Sidney Crosby, then Sidney Crosby.

770
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: You tell me what the key to winning a Cup is.

771
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 10: Okay, that's there, But you don't think the third lines

772
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 10: have anything to do with it or getting of course.

773
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 2: They has something to do with it.

774
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: But if you're telling me the third line was a

775
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: bigger factor than the players I just mentioned who got MVP,

776
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: that's just nutty.

777
