1
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: Couch making the Texas Rangers opening day roster after the

2
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: Pirates decided to not keep him, and he signed a

3
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: basically a tryod contract, a minor league deal with Texas.

4
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: It's going to be presented as a triumph of the

5
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: will and the Bucks should have kept him, and blah

6
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: blah blah, And I will say the Pirate bench sucks.

7
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: The Pirates got like seven good hitters on the entire roster,

8
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: and maybe six and maybe only five. But Cutch can't

9
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: run and can't play outfield and didn't hit all that much.

10
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: And he's the twenty sixth man on Texas's roster, and

11
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: he would have been the twenty six men on the

12
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: Pirates roster. And I say again, you can't let your

13
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: locker room become a museum. And the real issue should

14
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 1: be the Pirates haven't approved as much as you think.

15
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: Count the bats. You don't even eat close to all

16
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: your fingers now in that vein.

17
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 2: A couple of X Major leaguers, Matt Clement.

18
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: Cubs in San Diego Butler Brad Butler boys basketball coach

19
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: now with the high school good Guy, Good Hoop for two.

20
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: I saw him play Clement Neil Walker the Bucko from

21
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: Pine Richland. They think the Pirates gonna win eighty seven games.

22
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: That's what they said. If they really believe that their

23
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: marks or they're fools.

24
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: I will make my official prediction tomorrow on the twenty

25
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: twenty sixth debut of the Bucco Round up in three

26
00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: fifteen Huszah. But eighty seven wins won't be my prediction.

27
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: Eighty seven wins would be an improvement of sixteen games.

28
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: Why would anybody base that on thinking that the Pirates

29
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: will improve by sixteen wins this coming season?

30
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: Why would you.

31
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: Think that you got ahearne Osuna and Lyle, not Ruth,

32
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: Mantle and DiMaggio. Will the pitching me exactly what you think?

33
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: We shall see. The bottom third of the order sucks,

34
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: The bench is rotten, the outfield defense is terrible.

35
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 2: The back end of the.

36
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: Rotation we think it's good, but it's not experienced. We

37
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: shall see. But yet, absolutely the eighty seven wins no

38
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: frigging way. And I got told on Twitter. I tweeted

39
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: something like that, I got told I'm a hater. Why

40
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: is telling the truth equivalent to hate? What if I

41
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: predict seventy whatever wins and that's what it turns out

42
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: to be.

43
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 2: Am I still a hater? Or was I right?

44
00:02:59,720 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: I mean?

45
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 2: And that's the dight boy.

46
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bitch about something I'm trying to bitch less about.

47
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: But that's my business.

48
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 3: Now.

49
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: So many people like Clement and Walker who aren't technically

50
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: in my business per se. They're just guests on a

51
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: show and get interviewed. But so many people with microphones

52
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: just say what they think the listener wants to hear

53
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: instead of what they think. That does not happen here,

54
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: and you should be grateful for that. You should kiss

55
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: my feet, You should kiss my big not quite as fat,

56
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: but still very frumpy white ass. This thing we're brought

57
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: to us by eighty four Larmer dynasty partner of the

58
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. Yea, why is it always hate if you

59
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: don't go for insane optimism? Put it this way, I

60
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: guarantee whatever I predict tomorrow for the Bucko Round Up,

61
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: you love the Bucko Round Up three fifteen Tomorrow, return, triumphant, return,

62
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: everybody shaking with anticipate, patient. I guarantee I come closer

63
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: with my prediction than the guys who said eighty seven wins.

64
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 1: I would bet ten thousand bucks on under eighty seven

65
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: with anybody out there who wants to do it.

66
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say that too loud.

67
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: I know Walker for sure, and maybe Clement can afford it,

68
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: but I'd do it no question. A three three, four

69
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: one two WXDX the number to call. We would talk

70
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: to some about the draft, and of course when you

71
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: do that, you get bored to death. I mean, that's

72
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: not what I should have said. You've got to talk

73
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: about you know, how it affects the positions. Like Williamson said,

74
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: they should draft to tackle this year because in the

75
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: next two drafts, including this one, you need to get

76
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: a tackle in a quarterback and you won't get both

77
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: the same year, not of any repute. And since it

78
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: won't be quarterback this year, since there's none worth taking

79
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: a twenty one, you should do it this year. It

80
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: get the tackle this year and get the quarterback next

81
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: year rather. And now in that vein we talked about

82
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: Dylan Cook, who is likely to start at tackle or guard.

83
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 2: This coming season.

84
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: I think he shouldn't, but but I bet that's how

85
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: it shakes down, because he started four games last year

86
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: looked okay, and the Steelers think they know better, and.

87
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: They like to come up with a guy. Oh well, wait,

88
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: we think.

89
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: That Dylan Cook, even though nobody did, went undrafted, was

90
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. But we know better. And here's

91
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: why I watch this guy, and sometimes it does come true.

92
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes it does And I'm not sure about this bit

93
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: starting Dylan Cook, whether it's a tackler guard kind of

94
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: emphasizes and reminds how they mangled Broderick Jones. It was

95
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: a bad pick, they traded up to make it, and

96
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: then they put him in a position to fail by

97
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: playing him on the wrong side. The first year, he

98
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: was going to be on the bench, the second until

99
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: Faltanda got hurt, and then the third year finally tackle

100
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: because the guy they just couldn't get enough of playing

101
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: Dan Moore Junior. He just kept starting to left tackle,

102
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: even though he was the lowest graded at the position

103
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: in the league by PFF. But they just kept playing

104
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: him because, like I said, they prefer to be right.

105
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: They'd rather be right than win.

106
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: And now if Dylan Cook starts left tackle, just call

107
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: him Dan Moore junior Junior. What all this really emphasizes

108
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: is the Steelers need to make better decisions on personnel

109
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: and maybe get somebody better to make those decisions, because

110
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: these mistakes keep piling up and show no signs of abating.

111
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: Look at the investment and inside backer and it's not

112
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: good enough there. Look at the bloat and contraction. Didn't

113
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: have to give, whether it's water or metcalf. And here

114
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: cam have more money. You're almost dad, you're old. You've

115
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: played good right now, but you might hit a wall.

116
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: But here on the way out door when you fail,

117
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: take more money.

118
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: That's what they're doing. But I'm hating, just like I

119
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: hate the Pirates.

120
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: We got Michelle Creciolo, she's everywhere in Penguins medium. She'll

121
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: join us to talk more hockey at four point thirty.

122
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: What are you guys making? The Penguins They in trouble.

123
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: It feels like it, even though.

124
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: The standings say they're not. Mike I talked about with Pierre.

125
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: They won four to three and three with sit out

126
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: and that's okay. That's over half the points available. It's

127
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: not over real five hundred, but it's over fifty percent,

128
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: like I said, of the points available. But the other

129
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: teams behind them, like like Ottawa and the Islanders and

130
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: Columbus got hot now, Pierre doesn't think as much of

131
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: the Islanders as I do.

132
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 2: I don't.

133
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: I look at Sorokn and Goal, and that's a problem.

134
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: I don't think that team's that good. But you got

135
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: Sorokn and goal, you got the odds work give the year.

136
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: Who is just a skating ball of adrenaline in Matthew Schaeffer,

137
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,119
Speaker 1: and they worry me. I look at the seven teams

138
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: contending for the playoffs. I will say Detroit they do

139
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: nothing for me, despite Johnny whitehalland goal John Gibson first

140
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: year with the wing Wheel. I don't think much of

141
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: Boston either. I don't think much of Ottawa, but they're

142
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: red hot to the top. They are red hot held

143
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: New York to nine shows last night, but I think

144
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: that's more on the Rangers being Coca than it is

145
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: Ottawa's defensive excellence.

146
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 2: I don't know.

147
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how this shakes out. I don't know

148
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: how they cope tonight without Gino. I don't know how

149
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: they don't get beat seven to two after beating the

150
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: Avs seven to two at Denver last week. Wouldn't that

151
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: be something if the Avs came in and killed him?

152
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: I don't know.

153
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: I don't know which way this is going. I just

154
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: don't feel comfortable with it. I do know that not

155
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: last year, but the two years before that, the Penguins

156
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: blew it. The Penguins got edged out at the end,

157
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: and I remember what it felt like at the time,

158
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: and that's a little bit what it's feeling like now.

159
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong, cause you know, that's one thing

160
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: people don't get. When people call me a pirate hater,

161
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: you're wrong. I have forty one ticket stoves from nineteen

162
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: seventy one, that World Championship series that proves you wrong.

163
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: I love the Pirates. They betrayed that love. I'd love

164
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: it that they could earn it back, but I don't

165
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: think so. I don't think Ryan O'Hearn and Marcelo Zuna

166
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: and Brandon Lyle translate to sixteen more wins. I don't

167
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: think that the way that Walker and Clement do. I

168
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: will say, though, that if they win the skiing starts,

169
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: that's a big deal to me.

170
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: I wrote about that in the trip.

171
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: Last year Skins went ten and ten, but they went

172
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: seventeen and fifteen in the games. He started, you gotta

173
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: do a lot better than that. I'll tell you what,

174
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: what could get them close to close to a wild

175
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: card birth I'm not gonna eighty seven wins close to

176
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: a wild card Berth.

177
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: And I said this in the column.

178
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: If sken starts thirty two games again, they need to

179
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: go like twenty four and eight in those. That's how

180
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: you make the playoffs that that'll have. I mean the

181
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: offense is it much better?

182
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 2: I don't know.

183
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: I mean they lost fam Is though herten Gould hit

184
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: like fam did after the first two months of the season.

185
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about that. And that defense in the outfield. Oh,

186
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be bad. But I'm a hater, so don't

187
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: pay attention to me. Get your calls in now eight three,

188
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: three four one two WSDX. We got mesh at the

189
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: bottom of the hour one oh five to nine. Scott Mervis,

190
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: who writes rock or open the Post Gazette, which is

191
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: gonna go out of business soon?

192
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 2: When's that coming up? May? At any rate, he.

193
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: Wrote a great retrospective about the punk rock band the

194
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: Ramones and their history in Pittsburgh.

195
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 2: Check that out at the Post Gazette website.

196
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: And there were five legitimate Ramones members the original band

197
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:10,359
Speaker 1: was Joey, Johnny Dede, and Tommy, and then Tommy.

198
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 2: Quit and then.

199
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: Marky was in for a long time, and they had

200
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: some other members come and go, like a different bass

201
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: player after d D quit. I forget his name, but

202
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: those were the five members that got in the Hall

203
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: of Fame, and Marky, the second drummer, is the only

204
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: one left alive a lot of cancer. D D I

205
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: think died of an overdose, which was inevitable. He led

206
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: quite the rock and roll lifestyle. But Marvis did this

207
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: really good story about the Ramones and their visits to Pittsburgh.

208
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: In the first place they played, they played two nights,

209
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: two shows a night at a pizza parlor in Oakland

210
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,599
Speaker 1: with like sixty people there and Talking Heads played the

211
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: week before like sixty people at each gig. But that

212
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: was what punk was, you know, small audiences, a different presentation,

213
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: different music, obviously, and it didn't make the impression on

214
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: me then like it did after the fact.

215
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: Although I did have tickets to.

216
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: The what was supposed to be the first sex pistol

217
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,719
Speaker 1: show in Pittsburgh at that Leona Theater in Homestead had

218
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: got canceled when they couldn't get their visas. But but yeah,

219
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: a good article by Mrvin and the Ramones like, I

220
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: gotta admit I have their greatest hits. They're not quite

221
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: my cup of tea, but I respect their impact.

222
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 2: And then the interview.

223
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: Joey Ramone, the singer, noted in a prior interview that

224
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: there's never been anybody like us, and there won't be.

225
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: He's right about that.

226
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 1: And they never got to the point where they played

227
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: big arenas on their farewell to where they played that

228
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 1: old amphitheater on the at station square back when, which

229
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: I guess had a big crowd.

230
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 2: I didn't go to that. I only saw them live once.

231
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: But they were unique and they they made a lot

232
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: of other bands, if possible, they inspired, So I thought

233
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: that was an article.

234
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 2: Worth talking about.

235
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: A three three four one two WXDX number to call

236
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: Penguins hosting Denver tonight. I always call them Denver. They

237
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: play in Denver, why aren't they Denver? But yeah, they're Colorado.

238
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: I do know that the Rocky Mountain Way is better

239
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: than the way we had. Penguin's one point save in

240
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: the playoff spot. They could be out of it by

241
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: the end of the night. If they lose in Columbus

242
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: Boston and the Islanders win, Penguins will be out of

243
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: a playoff spot. However, temporarily, I just assume they win

244
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: and stay in the playoff spot.

245
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 2: Gonna be tough, Gonna be tough theyn you go.

246
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: To Ottawa, I think on Thursday, and they're red hot

247
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: to the top. They are red hot.

248
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 2: I don't know.

249
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't feel good about it. But I'm

250
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: a hater. Don't forget that. Yeah, I'm gonna be a

251
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: hater with the team I've supported since I was six.

252
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 2: That's the difference.

253
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: Today though people think that not telling them what they

254
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: want to hear equates to hating. But I'll go out

255
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: of business before I don't tell the truth. And that's

256
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: actually a real possibility. A three three four one two WSDX.

257
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: It's gonna be shilloffs in goal tonight. I feel at

258
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: some point before the playoffs, we talked to Pierre earlier.

259
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 2: We'll see what me stinks when she joins us next segment.

260
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: But but you know, we talked about choosing a number

261
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: one goal he Pierre talked about wait until the playoffs.

262
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 2: I treat right now like it is the playoffs, because

263
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 2: you got to.

264
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: Win now, and like I think Skinner, I think you

265
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: can flip him over. He's done on this side, one

266
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: two and five in his last eight stars. He's just

267
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: allowing too many goals. And I keep saying, not call

268
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: mori'sh off up. But in lieu of that, I would.

269
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: I'd give shilloffs to start tonight. If he plays well,

270
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: I'd put him in there on Thursday at Ottawa. But

271
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: you hurt Pierre like he thinks Skinner should be the

272
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: playoff guy because of the playoff experience.

273
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 2: I don't know.

274
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: I wish they had won some of those shootouts. I

275
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: wish they had more wins than not all those loser points.

276
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: That would certainly make things a whole heck of a

277
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: lot easier. Up next, she is Penguin's Inside Scoop on Twitter.

278
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: She does color on radio, sometimes all over the Penguins website.

279
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: Always a pleasure to talk to. Michelle Cretciolo. She's just

280
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: around the corner on one O five to nine, Penguin's

281
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: big game at home against Colorado tonight, joining me now.

282
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: She is Pens Inside Scoop on Twitter. She's all over TV,

283
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: all over radio. A pleasure to welcome Michelle Creciolo mish,

284
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: what do you do with that?

285
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: Gino? This is real bad timing, isn't it.

286
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 4: Oh, it's so tough.

287
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 3: It just felt like the Penguins were finally getting all

288
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 3: their horses back and able to just sort of build

289
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 3: as a team. And then and especially two against this team,

290
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 3: Matt and he was so good coming back from suspension.

291
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 4: He had the two goals, he got the Player of

292
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 4: the Game helmet, he was just a force.

293
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 3: All over the ice, and it just feels like, you know,

294
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 3: one step forward, two steps back when it comes to

295
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 3: just having the healthy available bodies for this time wins team.

296
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 4: So it's difficult.

297
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 3: You definitely want to have a Hall of Famer in

298
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 3: your lineup.

299
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 5: A game breaker, somebody that has.

300
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 3: Not only been producing still at age thirty nine, but

301
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 3: just the presence he has off the ice in the

302
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 3: locker room, helping out the younger Russian speaking guys first

303
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 3: and foremost Igor China Cooff has been huge in their

304
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 3: chemistry is remarkable.

305
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 4: So it's difficult.

306
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 3: But we talked to Sidney Krosby about that this morning

307
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 3: and he said, you know, all year long, we've just

308
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 3: had to find a way to do that.

309
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 5: At different times with different players going down, and we.

310
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 4: Just have to continue that mentality here tonight.

311
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned China Kouff, and one thing that's very

312
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: encouraging me t when Gino has been unavailable, China Koff

313
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: keeps scoring. It turns out he doesn't eat his handheld.

314
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: He's just a good player.

315
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 3: He is an unbelievable player, and it is you know,

316
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 3: credit to Kyle Dubis and his staff for identifying him,

317
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 3: finding way to bring him in. It's just been such

318
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 3: a treat to watch him and I think, you know,

319
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 3: it's the shot that stands.

320
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 4: Out right away.

321
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 3: Obviously just one of the best releases in the game.

322
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 3: But I think when you watch him on a nightly basis,

323
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 3: like so many of us, do so much else to

324
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 3: his game, Like there's just so much there when it

325
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 3: comes to, you know, his playmaking, like the past he

326
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 3: had in Colorado to set up Malkin for one of

327
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 3: his goals, and just the speed, the way he can

328
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 3: just back defenders off and you know, carry the puck

329
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 3: up the ice and into the zone. And Dan Muse

330
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 3: always talks about two is the detail that he changes

331
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 3: at the right times. He makes smart defensive plays like

332
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 3: he is a force all over the ice and it

333
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 3: is so much fun to watch him. And it's one

334
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 3: of those things that Kyle Duvis has said, we want

335
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 3: to be a place where players know we're going to

336
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 3: get the most out of you and help you reach

337
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 3: your full potential, and we are going to put all

338
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 3: of our resources.

339
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 5: Into making that happen.

340
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 4: You know, whether it's the development.

341
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 3: Team, the skilled coaches, the skating coaches, the assistant coaches, like,

342
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 3: there's so many people behind the scenes that can help

343
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 3: these guys get to where they want to go. But

344
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 3: you're right, I mean, I don't think Igor Tinakov needs

345
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 3: a whole lot. The tools are all there and he's

346
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 3: really been showcasing it and it has been so much

347
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 3: fun to watch him shine here after you know, it

348
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 3: just didn't go well for him in Columbus for whatever reason,

349
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 3: and here he's just thriving and it's.

350
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 4: Been it's been so much fun to watch.

351
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 3: Uh.

352
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: We got Shiloffs in goal tonight, sticking with the rotation.

353
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 2: Do you think Dan Muse is going to stick with

354
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 2: the rotation?

355
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: And definitely Mesh because shi Loss has become the hotter

356
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: out of the two lately.

357
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, he has then and you just think.

358
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 3: I we talked about it this morning and I asked him,

359
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 3: he's just what stood out to him about Archer she

360
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 3: loves in this last game, and he brought up the

361
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 3: coming up with big staves at big moments. And I

362
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 3: think that's the biggest reason the one wanted him and

363
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 3: had him circles for a long time is he's shown

364
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 3: that ability, especially on the international stage with Latvia leading

365
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 3: under that Browns medal when I feel like, you know,

366
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 3: most people don't give that team a chance. And also

367
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 3: in the playoffs, the way he stepped in as a

368
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 3: third goalie as a young guy and really you know,

369
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 3: made a mark in the playoffs for Vancouver. And they

370
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 3: said they were going to give archieo Sheilas some runway

371
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 3: this year, that he was going to get a chance

372
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 3: to sort of work through, you know, the ups and

373
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 3: downs of a of a full season. And he's even

374
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 3: said that just getting that opportunity, he's learning so much

375
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 3: about just the league, the team's opponents, himself, And he

376
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 3: said coming over from Latvia, it's not he didn't feel

377
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 3: like he was, you know, fully developed when he you

378
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 3: know got over here and started playing pro here. So

379
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 3: there's just a lot of you know, raw talent there,

380
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 3: and I feel like he's really starting to tap into it.

381
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 4: But Mark, I feel like the goaltending, it's a good

382
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 4: problem to have. They have a lot.

383
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 3: Of really you know, good players at that position throughout

384
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 3: the organization.

385
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 4: You know, Stuke Skinner comes in, He's gone to two

386
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 4: straight finals.

387
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 3: He brings to sort of a calmness and a poise,

388
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 3: you know, to the ice.

389
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 4: He can settle the game down.

390
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 3: He you know, can tell when his teammates might need

391
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 3: a change or need to stop. And just his personality,

392
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 3: I mean, it's.

393
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 4: It's next level.

394
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 5: Like the guys just can't say enough.

395
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 4: Good things about the person that he is.

396
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 3: So both guys have have been playing well for the

397
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 3: most part. I know the goals against has not been

398
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 3: where he would want it to be as of late,

399
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 3: but I think they both had their moments. But you know,

400
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 3: as of now, I feel like I won't be surprised

401
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 3: if Dan Muse just keeps rotating because for the most

402
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 3: part it has been working.

403
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 4: But at a certain point.

404
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you might want to give a guy a couple

405
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 3: of games just to see what they can do with

406
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 3: a little more runway.

407
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: I think the most amazing story of the of the

408
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: Penguins after the limp is how good Eric Carlson's been.

409
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure the old boys still had this in him.

410
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 6: Me.

411
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: He's totally confident out there, and I think his approach

412
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: is a big part of maximizing his talents.

413
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he's like the old school veteran guy.

414
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 3: Like they really don't well, I feel like they broke

415
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 3: the mold and they made Eric Carlton in a lot

416
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 3: of ways.

417
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 4: And I remember talking.

418
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 3: To him ahead of his one thousandth game, and that's

419
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 3: how he feels like. He came into the league being

420
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 3: sort of a smaller defenseman that brought the offense and

421
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 3: the skating and the slash and all of that.

422
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 5: And it wasn't the easiest thing for him when he

423
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 5: first came in, Like it was people played him tough

424
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 5: every single.

425
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 3: Night, but he just stuck true to himself and he's

426
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 3: become the player that we've seen and I love it

427
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 3: about him.

428
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 4: I love that belief and the way that he should play.

429
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,479
Speaker 3: And it's just a matter of, you know, putting him

430
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 3: in the right situation to get the most out of him.

431
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 4: But yeah, he's just been.

432
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 5: Shy this season, it's been so much fun.

433
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 4: To watch and I feel like swagger is.

434
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 5: The first word when I think of that I think

435
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 5: of when I think.

436
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 3: Of Eric Carlson, like he's he's got, you know, just

437
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 3: an incredible closet full of clothes, Like he he comes

438
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 3: on the team plane just deck's out mark just like

439
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 3: you know, der backpack and uh, you know, just all

440
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 3: of these amazing outfits and you know.

441
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 4: He he just he knows that he's got it, like

442
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 4: he knows he's a star.

443
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 3: And uh, you know, when he plays the sort of

444
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 3: that swagger, we really do see him at his best.

445
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 3: And I feel, like Brian russ Is said at a

446
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 3: couple of times, like when he's playing loose, when he's happy,

447
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 3: when he's being himself, Like that's when he really does thrive.

448
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 3: And he's just got the ability.

449
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 4: I mean, it's that what he can do on the

450
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 4: ice with that skating.

451
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 3: And I said this on one of our broadcasts which

452
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 3: I was I was pretty proud of this call where

453
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 3: I said, Eric Carlson, you.

454
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 5: Know like more like king might as it feels like

455
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 5: everything he.

456
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 4: Touch turns to gold.

457
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 3: And it really is true, like he's playing at a

458
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 3: level where you think that every time the puckets on

459
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 3: a stick, he's going to either score or make a

460
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 3: brilliant play that has he scratching your head and just

461
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 3: being like, oh my gosh, like how did he do that?

462
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 3: So he's just been incredible for the Penguins this year.

463
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 4: It's a testament to him.

464
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 3: I know that, you know, he wanted more out of himself.

465
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 3: The Penguins wanted more out of him. They had some conversations.

466
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 4: At the end of last season.

467
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 3: He went back home, put his head down, got ready

468
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 3: to play, and all season long, he's really just been

469
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 3: consistently excellent.

470
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: We're talking to me, she here on the X one

471
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 2: oh five nine me.

472
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: The Penguins beat Colorado last week seven to a Denver.

473
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: What's the carryover from that game to tonight because personally,

474
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm hoping for a xerox of it.

475
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree. I actually am so excited to see

476
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 4: what we get.

477
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 3: Tonight because I think both teams are coming with sort

478
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 3: of I don't know if something to prove is the

479
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 3: right word.

480
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 4: But the Avalanche they were not happy with how they

481
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 4: played in that game.

482
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 3: Nathan McKinnon just said, like we were bad and they

483
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 3: felt terribly about the way they played in front of

484
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 3: their goalie, Scott Edgewood, who got pulled after giving up

485
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 3: three goals on.

486
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 4: Five shots, and they said nothing was on him.

487
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 3: We were giving them easy offense, We weren't hard to

488
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 3: play against, and they had a lot that they wanted

489
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 3: to clean up out of that. But you know that

490
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 3: being said, you obviously expect a response from them, But

491
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 3: we absolutely expect a response from the Penguins tonight. I

492
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 3: think Sunday it was just so uncharacteristic, Mark.

493
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 4: We hadn't seen that type of.

494
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 3: Low energy game from the Penguins in a really long time,

495
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 3: and I think that.

496
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: It was two games in two days where Carolina didn't

497
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: Carolina is obviously a good team, Oh yeah.

498
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 4: For sure.

499
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 5: And I will say too, like being on the road

500
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 5: with these guys for.

501
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 4: That last trip.

502
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 3: I mean, this whole schedule in March is such a bauntlet.

503
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 4: You looked at it and you're like, oh, man, like games.

504
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 3: Every other day, really tough opponents, like it's going to

505
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 3: be a lot, But then factoring in like all the travel,

506
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 3: the altitude, the time changes, like no excuses, but like

507
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 3: I feel like it took me a few days to

508
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 3: kind of get back to normal after after that one,

509
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 3: and you know, it's a long season. These guys are,

510
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 3: they've played a lot of hockey, and you know, I

511
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 3: think they're they're fielding it a bit. But so I

512
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 3: think you can definitely say, like, hey, that was a

513
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 3: one off. I think that they're absolutely going to be ready.

514
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 4: To go tonight.

515
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 5: And I think coming off.

516
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 3: Of that off day, coming back from the trip, on

517
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 3: that Saturday game against Carolina, like they are against Winnipeg.

518
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 4: Sorry, they played really well and you could tell they

519
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 4: had their legs. I'm hoping for a repeat of that.

520
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 4: But you know, someone Askedid like, hey, what are.

521
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 5: You expecting from that? And he's like, well, I'm sure

522
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 5: we're going to get.

523
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 3: Their best, but like there's a lot at stake for us,

524
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 3: like we're going to bring our best too, So it's

525
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 3: it's gonna be.

526
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 4: A good one today.

527
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 5: And I definitely can't wait.

528
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 3: I'm sure I speak for everyone when when I say

529
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 3: that the p K stumbled against Carolina let up three PPGs.

530
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: I think it's been good all year, top five all year.

531
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: What went wrong and how do they fix it?

532
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 3: Well, you know that is something where I did agree

533
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 3: with Dan muse when he said, it's not something where

534
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 3: I'm suddenly questioning our p ks or our PK in general,

535
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 3: like we've done it all year. And I think the

536
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 3: biggest thing is they want to be aggressive like they

537
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 3: usually are. And it's interesting, too, Mark, because Colorado they're

538
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 3: near or at the top of the league and pretty

539
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 3: much everything, but their power play is thirtieth, which is

540
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 3: kind of a head scratcher when you think of some

541
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 3: of the I mean, they have some of the most

542
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 3: dangerous players in the league.

543
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 4: I mean cal mccarr Nate McKinnon.

544
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 3: Brock Nelson as that net from Presidence who always gives

545
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 3: the Penguins fits going back through the time with the Islanders.

546
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 3: So they have all the tools there, but for whatever reason,

547
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 3: hasn't been clicking consistently. Obviously, it hasn't stopped them at all.

548
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 3: They've been first place in the league since I want

549
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 3: to say November.

550
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 4: First, so they're doing well.

551
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 3: But I think, you know, the Penguins are well aware

552
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 3: of what they need to do. I think it's sort

553
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 3: of a case by case thing. They just have to

554
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 3: be aggressive, they have to support each other. They really

555
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 3: struggled to get those clears. I think on that first

556
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 3: goal against on really early in the game. There were

557
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 3: two times that they just didn't get over the line

558
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 3: when they had time, they had space, So they have

559
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 3: to bear down in those instances, and I think they'll

560
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 3: be fine. But you know, talking to Ryan Shaye today,

561
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 3: he's like, everybody knows we need to have a bounce

562
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 3: back after last game, and he said everybody's motivated, especially

563
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 3: the coaches, which I thought was interesting. I'm I'm just

564
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 3: picturing Nick Benino running the meeting market telling the guys like, hey,

565
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 3: I wish he was here, right.

566
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 4: Oh, he's one of the best ever do it in

567
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 4: that regard, that's for sure.

568
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 1: Now look at the standings, because like we had Tommy

569
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 1: Noveck on the show yesterday and he admitted very candidly

570
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: that the guys look at the standings all the time.

571
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: Just sticking to the metro. Who's the bigger threat between

572
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: Columbus and the Islanders. Columbus seems like the better team.

573
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: But I gotta say, Soroken in goal for New York

574
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: is what scares me.

575
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sorocn scares me. Matthew Schaffer scares me. I feel

576
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 3: like the Penguins have not They've just given the Penguins

577
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 3: a hard time I feel in the past, so definitely

578
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 3: don't want to go to Long Island to start the

579
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 3: playoffs with the Penguins, get to that scenario. But I

580
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 3: also think Columbus as an organization, they have been through

581
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 3: so much lately. They they just have a lot to

582
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 3: play for. They want to get over that hump of

583
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 3: you know, finally sort of establishing themselves as a legitimate

584
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 3: contender in the NHL.

585
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 4: I think in the way they've been playing Mark, it feels.

586
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 3: Like they're just not losing games. It's been incredible to

587
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 3: watch under their new head coach, Rick Bonus, who is

588
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 3: you know, so well respected and does a terrific job

589
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 3: and just feels.

590
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 4: Like they are just rolling right now and so red hot.

591
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 3: So it's it's a tough call to say who I

592
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 3: would rather see. I think if you're looking at history,

593
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 3: you have to go with Columbus. But I think that

594
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 3: the way, yeah, exactly, But I don't know. I think

595
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 3: maybe I go Islanders just with the way the Blue

596
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 3: Jackets have been playing.

597
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 2: Me's always great stuff.

598
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: Great work on the color commentary, and we will see at.

599
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 2: The rink tonight.

600
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 4: Thanks Matt and I appreciate it.

601
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 3: I always love getting the call to coming your show

602
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 3: was an honor of privilege.

603

Speaker 4: And yeah, I'll be back in the boot.

Speaker 3: Tonight with Joe Brand. We had a good run on

605
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 3: at Road Chest. We're hoping that maybe it's a little

606
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 3: extra mojo. The guys need to get back on track

607
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 3: here tonight.

608
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,600

Speaker 3: Hey?

640
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 7: What's your most valuable sentimental and monetary sports memorabilia that

641
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 7: you have?

642
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 2: I don't know.

643
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: I mean my preferred piece is I have a stick

644
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: Greg Polis of the Penguins used to win MVP in

645
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventy three All Star Game. My mom and

646
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: I knew him and his wife his family back when,

647
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: and he gave that to me afterwards, at least he

648
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,479
Speaker 1: said he used it in the game. He signed it,

649
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: and he passed away a couple of years ago, but

650
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: he was my favorite player as a kid. That means

651
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: an awful lot. I have a bunch of stuff signed

652
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: by Clemente. I mean a bunch of stuff. I would

653
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: assume that that's the most valuable.

654
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 6: All right, man, thanks.

655
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: I have a stick signed by the Flyers first Stanley

656
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: Cup team, too, ironically got him to sign it personally.

657
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to sell it someday and if I don't

658
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: get what I want, I'm going to burn it on YouTube.

659
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 2: Uh, let's go to Mike. Mike ask Mark anything? Hey, Mark,

660
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 2: what's up?

661
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 5: Hey?

662
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 7: I got a question when it comes to hockey in

663
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 7: the Pittsburgh Sports, Pittsburgh Penguins in general, You're the only

664
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 7: one I get information from on my way home from

665
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 7: work whenever about the Penguins. Anytime I'm listening to the

666
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 7: other station on my way to work. None of them

667
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 7: know what they're talking about. None of them know more

668
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 7: than three players we hang Bulking or Crosby, and frankly,

669
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 7: it's disrespectful and ignorant to our organization for them to

670
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 7: even be talking about.

671
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: Are you talking about on the radio. Yeah, there's there's

672
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: plenty of good coverage.

673
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 2: Well, that's up to them. I I don't care.

674
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: But there's plenty of good hockey covers like Yoe and

675
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: Seth rahra bah. You know that kid King does a

676
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: good I mean, and hockey coverage in Pittsburgh is the

677
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: only coverage of any teams that's not fanboy driven, that's

678
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: not covered by fans of the team.

679
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 2: So uh, those other guys.

680
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe I shouldn't be talking about football because

681
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: I don't care. Maybe I shouldn't be talking about the

682
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: draft because I sure don't care. But if you want hockey,

683
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: this is the only place to listen. Thank you for

684
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: the call. Let's go to a talkback.

685
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 8: Hey, Mark, I just wanted to ask you about Ricard Riquel.

686
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 8: Do you think he's playing well enough? Sometimes it still

687
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 8: thinks he's too invisible, like he's just not doing enough

688
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 8: on this top line.

689
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 9: What do you think?

690
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: I don't think he's playing as well as i'd like,

691
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: let's put it that way. He's not scored a lot,

692
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: He's been hurt some I'd like to get more out of,

693
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: especially like you said, he's playing on the line with

694
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: Sid and Russ. I don't think he's playing bad though.

695
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: I think mostly he's played good. I just don't think

696
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: the puck's falling. I don't think he's finishing with the efficiency.

697
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 2: I'd like to see.

698
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: Lee's the line open calling out a three three four

699
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: one two WSDX. Let's go to Gary Gary On with Mark.

700
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 4: Hey, Mark, I had a question for you.

701
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 10: What do you feel is that She's is soundtrack song

702
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 10: that you've ever heard?

703
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 2: What do you mean soundtrack?

704
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 10: Well, soundtrack to a movie. I'm sorry, I don't know.

705
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: I mean I think the cheesiest TV themes show theme

706
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: song is We're Gonna Make It the la Vernon Shirley

707
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: theme song on.

708
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 2: Your mind and set let's go now, you know, but

709
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 2: there you go.

710
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 3: I don't know.

711
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 2: For a movie, I don't know. What would you say?

712
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 10: I would have to say, Sammy Hagar Winner takes it

713
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 10: All from the Sylester Stallone movie Over the Top. I

714
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 10: just heard it again today and I'm just, oh my god,

715
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 10: it's just a horrible, horrible song.

716
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: You do know the fact that you remember it says

717
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: something right? Yes, thank you for the call. Let's go

718
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: to a talk.

719
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 11: Back calling and just to see if you had a

720
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 11: chance to catch the Carabou Cup final on Sunday as

721
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 11: an Arsenal supporter myself, I was rather disappointed in that

722
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 11: lackluster performance, especially against the city side that hasn't been

723
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 11: in good form recently. Do you think this could potentially

724
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 11: derail Arsenal's chances at hoisting the long coveted Primari League Trophy.

725
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: No, I think Arsenal's going to win the prem. I

726
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,919
Speaker 1: think they're too far ahead to stumble now not many

727
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: games left. I was surprised that City beat them to

728
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: nothing in the league cup final and pretty much had

729
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: an easy day of it. I didn't see it, but

730
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 1: it was too yi old City, and I heard it

731
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: was everybody as easy as the score, and perhaps easier.

732
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: So I'm not dismissing the possibility that Arsenal is out

733
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: of gas. Maybe it doesn't have the mentality you need

734
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: to see things out like that cup final. But I

735
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 1: also think, what are they like, nine points ahead with

736
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: five games left or six games left. I think they're

737
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: too far up to blow it. Let's go to a talkback, Hey, Mark.

738
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 9: With the NFL Draft coming to Pittsburgh next month, what

739
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 9: do you think is the biggest difference between Pittsburgh hosting

740
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 9: next month's draft compared to when they hosted the NHL

741
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,240
Speaker 9: Draft back in twenty twelve.

742
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: I just couldn't care less at all the NHL Draft.

743
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 2: You said in twenty twelve, do we host that?

744
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: Then? I thought we hosted it back in nineteen ninety

745
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 1: nine when Joe Thornton was the number one pick.

746
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 2: I just don't care about the NFL Draft.

747
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: Wish I didn't have to stay here to cover it

748
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: and do that extracurricular I'll take the money for it,

749
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: and I guess I'll get into the spirit when the

750
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 1: day comes. But this non stop withering about who they're

751
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: going to take with pick number twenty one when it

752
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: all was going to lead to ten and seven in

753
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: the first round playoff exit again at best, it just

754
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: it ain't my thing.

755
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:43,720
Speaker 2: To be honest.

756
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: As soon as you said NFL draft, I kind of

757
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: tuned out the rest of what you were saying. Let's

758
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 1: go to Buffalo Bill. Buffalo Bill, ask Mark anything? Mark.

759
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 6: I feel like I might blow your mind here. Let

760
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 6: me ask you this as a preface, who do you

761
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 6: think wrote Appetite for Distrutch.

762
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 2: And what the Guns N' Roses LP?

763
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 6: Yes?

764
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: What do you mean wrote it? I mean the credits

765
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 1: are on the album. I mean Slash axl you know

766
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: the name stuff wrote some is he wrote.

767
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 6: Some Tell me if you've ever heard this one that

768
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 6: because we all know obviously whoever writes, you know, the

769
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 6: credits isn't always accurate accurate. Tracy Guns wrote that album

770
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 6: and they replaced him last minute because he had acne

771
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 6: scars and they felt that his image wasn't good enough,

772
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 6: so they replaced him with Slash.

773
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 2: No, that's that's just not true. He quit. He quit

774
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 2: long before that album was even mooted.

775
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 6: That's the story. But there's a legend there.

776
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't believe it because even though I think

777
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 1: Tracy's done really good work with La Guns and they're

778
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: one of my favorite heritage groups, I don't think the

779
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: songwriting that for La Guns compares to what's been done

780
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: with Guns n' Roses. Although I will say, because I

781
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: like a good conspiracy theory, I don't the songwriting was

782
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: ever as good after the first album.

783
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 2: Thank You for the call.

784
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: There was another guy, a friend of Axel's, who's like

785
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: just maybe a road manager too, that wrote some stuff

786
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: for Guns n' Roses.

787
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 2: I'll have to figure out his name.

788
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: By the way, somebody asked if I thought Arsenal Gold

789
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: hold off City at the top of the prem Citi's

790
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: up by excuse me, City trails Arsenal by nine points.

791
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: That's three full games with seven games left for Arsenal

792
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: in eight for City, so it's possible they could catch him.

793
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:41,439
Speaker 1: I do not think it's probable. Let's go to a talkback. Okay, wait,

794
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: we lost that talkback. Okay, we'll get your calls in

795
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: and we'll we'll continue speaking in the next hour of

796
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: the show. That came off kind of calmsy. I'm still

797
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 1: trying to look up this Tracy gun story, one of
