1
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: My guest right now is six foot eight of impact

2
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: since he joined the Penguins in a trade from Detroit.

3
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: It's a pleasure to welcome to the program, winger Elmer Soderblom. Elmer,

4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: thanks for taking the time. Why does it work for

5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: you in Pittsburgh when it really didn't that much in Detroit?

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 2: What's changed for you? I don't really know.

7
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 3: It's a good question. I feel like I've just been

8
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 3: you know, get a fresh start and just play my

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 3: game without thinking too much. And I think that's that's

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 3: the biggest part.

11
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: What do you see as your game, because you seem

12
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: to be playing a bit more physically since arriving in Pittsburgh.

13
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: Is that what the coaches want or is it just

14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: kind of happened.

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 3: I feel like that's just kind of what happened and

16
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 3: what I've been working on as well. I mean, I

17
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: want to improve that in my game as well. So

18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 3: it's been a good, good couple games so far for me,

19
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 3: just to get into the new new systems and everything

20
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 3: and just play my game and improving stuff like that,

21
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 3: like my physical game. So it's all a part of

22
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 3: my improvements.

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: And you're scoring goals too, there's got to be a

24
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: big confidence factor for you at this point.

25
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course it's super super fun scoring goals and

26
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 3: helping the team that way as well. So yeah, as

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 3: I said, I'm just trying to to play my game

28
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 3: and bring bring as much as I can to the

29
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 3: to this team and help help our team win games.

30
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,559
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's super fun.

31
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: Now it's a couple of weeks ago now, Elmer, but

32
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: everybody's still talking about that fight with Mayfield of the Islanders.

33
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: It's hard to believe that was only your second fight

34
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: in your pro career. You were very composed, you didn't

35
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: seem rattled at all when it started.

36
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I'm not really really a fighter, so

37
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 3: it doesn't happen that often. So yeah, I was just

38
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: trying to, yeah, be be ready for whenever it happens.

39
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: So yeah, I guess that was nice to get that win.

40
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 1: Well, I don't want to dwell in the fight too long,

41
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: but but one more thing. Your reach, I mean, duh,

42
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: it's such a big edge. Mayfield just couldn't get inside.

43
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: You just kept houlding them off. I mean, I've never

44
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: seen a guy win a fight like that, But then again,

45
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: i've never seen a six foot eight guy fight either.

46
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. I mean I have the reach to my advantage.

47
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 3: I was just trying to use it then try to

48
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: use the yable little bit and being in his face

49
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 3: to frame him to not see too much. And yeah,

50
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 3: I was just trying to be tough to to fight against.

51
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 3: So yeah, happy work outs.

52
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: Well in that vein Elmer. Where do you think your

53
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: height and reach helps you the most. I'm kind of

54
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: guessing it's on the four check. I see you go

55
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: in on the four check. I see the defenseman kind

56
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: of confused.

57
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly. I want to be tough, tough to

58
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 3: play against in the four check and make the make

59
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 3: the night top for the demon.

60
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: Huh.

61
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 3: So I like to, uh yeah, I get in there

62
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, stress them a little bit, maybe

63
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 3: get a hit early in the game, and then you know,

64
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 3: as the game goes on, I'm gonna get more opportunities

65
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 3: and more pucks and turnovers from them. So that's kind

66
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 3: of what I'm thinking about.

67
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: And then when you get the puck, the puck protection

68
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: is a big thing for you. Talk about that because again,

69
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: you reach your size, it's it's tough to get the

70
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: puck away from you.

71
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. I try to use use my my big

72
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: frame to my advantage in those areas, you know, don't

73
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 3: don't stress away an it passes or like throw anything blind,

74
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: just like be confident by she she'ld in the park

75
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: and find a good play and hold pull the demon off.

76
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 3: So that's an area I'm working on and trying to

77
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 3: improve as well too. Yeah, just have a long shift

78
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: down there in those We're.

79
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: Talking to Elmer Stable with the Penguins.

80
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: You're on the home of the when's one O five

81
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: ninety x, like we mentioned earlier on where you have

82
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: four goals in seventeen games since coming here, and uh

83
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: what what does it take for you to score at

84
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: this level? I mean you go to the net, but

85
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: I see a little more than that too.

86
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry, I mean I just try to use my shot,

87
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 3: my shot and my skill to my advantage, you know,

88
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 3: and being around the net, go to the nets, maybe

89
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 3: tip some pucks and just uh yeah, be in those

90
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 3: areas to find areas to shoot and h yeah, it's

91
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 3: just trying to be as fret as well.

92
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 2: Coming over from Detroit, and there were some good players

93
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: there too, to be sure, But what's it like being

94
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: in the dressing room now with all these stars and

95
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 2: one of them a fellow suite at all time. Great

96
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: with Eric Carlson.

97
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's super super fun to be around those guys

98
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: and uh just watch them play. You know, I've been

99
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: watching them growing up and now I'll get to be

100
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 3: in the same locker room. Is pretty special, I would say, Oh, yeah,

101
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: it's uh it's a blessing for sure, and uh, I'm

102
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 3: enjoying it.

103
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: Had you met Carlson much? Did you? Did you talk

104
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: with him since before coming here?

105
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 3: Is that?

106
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 4: Uh?

107
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 2: Is that new for you too?

108
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all new for me. I mean we both

109
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 3: have played for my home home city in Gothenburg, but yeah,

110
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 3: I haven't. I've never liked played with him before or

111
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: so it was all new and it's super fun too

112
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: to be a part of this group here and uh

113
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: yeah hopefully we can uh going around here in the playoffs.

114
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 2: Now.

115
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: Your brother Arvid is a goaltender with Chicago the Blackhawks.

116
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 2: What was that like growing up with a goalie?

117
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the perfect playmate for a shooter, isn't it.

118
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's great, it's perfect. I mean we usually had

119
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 3: him dress up as a goalie and I could shoot

120
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 3: tucks at him, so it was a great setup and

121
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: we both loved to practice and work out together to

122
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 3: get so yeah, I think we that was good for us.

123
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: Now at six foot eight, did any other sports interest

124
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: you as a kid, Elmer? I think it had been

125
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: good in front of gold and soccer, like Peter Kratz,

126
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: the old tall striker.

127
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: I mean, did you play anything else or was it

128
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: always hockey?

129
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, actually played a little bit of soccer growing

130
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 3: up as well, so it was fun. But after a

131
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 3: while the hockey part took over and it was you

132
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 3: getting more and more serious, so they kind of have

133
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 3: to choose what do you want to do, and yeah,

134
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 3: hockey was number one.

135
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: Finally, Elmer, as we've been talking about all day here

136
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: on the show, the Penguins are back in the playoffs

137
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: and have home ice for the first round. Kind of

138
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: great to clinch both those things the same night. There's

139
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: got to be a big buzzer on the dressing room

140
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: because you just got here. But that's the first time

141
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: since twenty twenty two, the whole town, the locker room.

142
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 2: It's just such a great thing, isn't it.

143
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's uh, you can really feel the atmosphere and

144
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 3: uh the energy inside the building. Uh So it's super

145
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 3: fun to give that to all the fans into the organization,

146
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 3: uh to get another playoffs there. So yeah, I'm super excited.

147
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: The fans love you. You get you get a big

148
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: pop at the rink. I mean, uh, you've kind of

149
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: they've kind of warmed up to you quick, haven't they.

150
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. I feel like I've been uh been welcomed with

151
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 3: open arms here in Pittsburgh. So it's super fun. Uh.

152
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 3: I really appreciate all the support and love. Uh So yeah,

153
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 3: it just makes me more more hungry and more excited

154
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 3: to uh to keep keep things going here.

155
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: Elmer, thank you so much for taking the time. Great stuff,

156
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: great job with the Penguins so far, and we'll see

157
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: at the rink.

158
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,000

Speaker 2: was it Reynolds? Well there you go.

164
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: Reynolds is the guy who's got to get it going

165
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: him and Cruise, and so far, so good with both

166
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: of them as long as a ball doesn't get hit

167
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: kind of between them. All right, let's talk hockey though,

179
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: Eight three three four one two w xdx. We got

180
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: newman on hold. We'll get him in a second. When

181
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: I was in New Jersey, see Robert Plant, by the way,

182
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: his rendition of Ramba last night on Jimmy Kimmel, I

183
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: think it was Jimmy Kimmel. I saw it on on

184
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Was just impeccable, just impeccable. But when I

185
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: was driving back to the Newark Airport from Red Bank

186
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: where I saw Robert, I saw a service plaza, you know,

187
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: like like gas station, convenience store, fast food stuff like that.

188
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: It was the John bon Jovie Service Plaza, named after

189
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: John bon Jovi had a giant guitar. Uh, I didn't stop,

190
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: I should have. I wonder if there was any memorabilia

191
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Let's go to Newman.

192
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: Newman.

193
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 2: You're on with double.

194
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 6: M hey, So you know, regarding the which opponent you'd

195
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 6: like to fly or the Penguins to play. So the

196
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 6: reason that I want the Flyers is that I don't

197
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 6: think the Penguins are winning the cup. But for me,

198
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 6: eliminating Silly in the playoffs is like winning a let title,

199
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 6: almost akin to winning the f A Cup in England.

200
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 6: You know, it's not winning the EPL title, but it's

201
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 6: a nice consolation.

202
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 2: No, I don't disagree with that.

203
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just worried if you lose to them,

204
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: and I'm always cynical, frankly, always pessimistic. I would hate

205
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: to carry that around like a disease. But again, I

206
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: think that's a good matchup. They're a younger, dynamic team,

207
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: but I don't like their goaltending, I don't like their defense.

208
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: So yeah, I wouldn't mind playing them.

209
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: And if you win, then the Flyers have to carry

210
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: it around like a disease.

211
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 6: Well, regarding that discussion, so you know, statistically speaking, there's

212
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 6: a good chance this would be Sid in the last

213
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 6: seas against the Flyers. And so, you know, while it

214
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 6: would be amazing if Sid led us to victory and

215
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 6: like you said, they had to then you mean.

216
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: His last playoff against the Flyers, right, Yeah, I mean

217
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: you don't know that, but yeah, there's a possibility of

218
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: that for sure. And and yeah, and Sid will rip

219
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: up the Flyers. It's not like Sid's going to disappoint

220
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: against Philadelphia ever, has.

221
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 6: Right, And I mean, it would be amazing if he

222
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 6: if he got to you know, the last series against

223
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 6: the Flyers, he got to win. But then again, it

224
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 6: would really suck if the Flyers somehow pulled off the

225
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 6: win and that was his last series against them.

226
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you hear about that forever, like but but

227
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: that's what makes it fun, isn't it, Newman. Just a

228
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: whole bunch of stuff that could couldn't happen, that you

229
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 1: wouldn't want, that you do want, you know, stuff that

230
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: would be great, stuff that would break your heart. And

231
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: that's what it means to be back in the playoffs.

232
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: And uh, like I said, getting there always was the

233
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: big thing. But now you do want to make the

234
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: most of it. Let's go to Dan. Dan, you're all

235
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: with Mark.

236
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 7: Hey double.

237
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 8: Not much.

238
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 7: Uh, I'm pretty excited about this first round. And I

239
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 7: guess people are saying, you know, you got the goaltending

240
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 7: as a problem or central week length.

241
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: But no, no, I don't don't.

242
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a problem.

243
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: I just think if they play the Islanders, the Islanders,

244
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: for example, will have a profound advantaging goal.

245
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: I mean Stuart Skinner's and in the.

246
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: Last two Stanley Cup finals he's no mug but but

247
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a strength either.

248
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean you're right. Uh, It's just if you

249
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 7: think about Skinner and how he got the finals, it's

250
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 7: I mean, obviously arnor mcdaviden draft title or you know,

251
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 7: they're two the best offensive talents. But like that he

252
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 7: used to score getting you know, have a team that

253
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 7: gets scored on a lot and his team that scores

254
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 7: a lot. So that just seems either way we're gonna

255
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 7: have to win. But I feel confident in that.

256
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: Uh, I feel confident enough? Is that fair?

257
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: And one one point somebody brought up earlier, I've been

258
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: a big proponent of putting Morrishoff in, But they're just

259
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: not going to do that, and right now it's honestly

260
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: too late to do that.

261
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 2: But Skinner's playoff tested Morrishoff is not.

262
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, my only disclaimer is if Skinner

263
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: would struggle or get hurt, I would want to go

264
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: to Morrishoff and not Shilloffs. But uh, that's not how

265
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: they would approach it. Let's go to Man on the Road,

266
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: Man on the Road drawn with.

267
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 5: Mark and Mark just go and ask about the question

268
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 5: about the Penguins. It seems like they have like endless

269
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 5: forward depth. What would you say is like their main

270
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 5: position of weakness right now?

271
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: Well, I mean we talk about goal is a mediocre

272
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: position at best.

273
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 5: Would you put it more on the defense of the

274
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 5: goaltending at this point? If they want to get better

275
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:23,359
Speaker 5: for next year.

276
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 2: Well, well I'm not worried about next year at all.

277
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: Right, this second Morrishoff will take care of the goaltending

278
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: next year, we think. But in terms of in terms

279
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: of I mean, you're basically asking, does the defense hurt

280
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: the goaltending or does the goaltending to make the defense

281
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: look bad?

282
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: Correct?

283
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, exactly.

284
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 2: Little of both.

285
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: But I think the defense is shoring up with that

286
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: Latang Gerard pair playing better. I think Shayan Waterspoon have

287
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: been good all year. Carlson's going to get Norris votes.

288
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: So I don't know that either position is a problem.

289
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: But for whatever reason, they're letting in too many frigging goals.

290
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they score a lot, but they need and six',

291
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: five six' four stuff. Like that ain't the way it

292
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: works in. The playoffs now as good as they played

293
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: last night With With, China cup Malk, and crosby all those. Guys,

294
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: shining uh the best part to me last night was

295
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: the only let in the. Two goals let's Go, To,

296

Speaker 8: THIS offseason.

300
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: I think they should give him one year deal at a,

301
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: reasonable price like four or. FIVE million i wouldn't give

302
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: him two years no. Matter what and if two years

303
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: is a, deal breaker you gotta let.

304
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: Him go.

305
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 5: What do you do you think if he has like a,

306
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 5: good playoffs.

314
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: mood POINT because i do think they'll give him a one.

315

Speaker 2: YEAR. Deal u the only way.

316
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: They wouldn would be if they would get swept in the,

317
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: first round because then you would reconsider how much making

318
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs even meant. After THAT but i don't. ANTICIPATE

319
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,520

Speaker 8: ones from the.

387
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 3: OLD days i.

388
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 8: DON'T know i wasn't really part of the, you Know

389
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 8: Watching brett Hall Or bobby hall go up. AGAINST somebody

390
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 8: i Don't Know bobby hull all.

391
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: That stuff but. That's sixteams those guys.

392
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 8: Were, all yeah they were great, players simultaneously but they paid.

393
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: Each other like ten or twelve times a year.

394
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: Or two but that that's too far back stagger even

395
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: for old guys.

396
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: Like us it's just. A, rumor.

397
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 3: Yeah it's.

398
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 8: Probably true you could find maybe some footage of them

399
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,959
Speaker 8: playing against. One another i'm, not sure, BUT uh i

400
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 8: think the big thing with the rivalry between the two

401
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 8: is that they came into the league at the, same

402
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 8: time coming out of, the lockout, and uh, you know

403
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 8: they both or became the faces, Of hockey so it

404
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 8: was like a great rivalry to spark interest in the.

405
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 8: League again and it's almost impossible that they would both

406
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 8: have been able to play this many years at this

407
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 8: level and continue to also play for the same teams all.

408
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 8: That time it's just unheard of.

409
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 2: And in the Same division staggy for most of.

410
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: THOSE years i Think the Penguins in caps got putting

411
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: the metro in, twenty thirteen and so tomorrow's game will

412
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: be the one hundredth meeting of, the two. Including playoffs

413
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: you never had That with Mario. And gretzky, that's why

414
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: even though they were mentioned together as peers as the

415
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: top two players of, their era they barely played against.

416
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 8: Each, other yeah not, only that but they were always

417
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 8: seen To be mario was heard or something went happened

418
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 8: that would prevent the two from playing, each other even

419
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 8: when they were scheduled to play. Each other so that

420
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 8: was always really frustrating for me because we always wanted

421
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 8: to see those two go head.

422
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 3: To head so you're.

423
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 8: REALLY right, i mean, you know this particular ivory is

424
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 8: so great for each of the, teams too when you

425
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 8: consider what they've been able, to accomplish Especially the penguins

426
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 8: Winning a cup in nine and sixteen and Seventeen, with

427
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 8: SID and ovi eventually did Win. A cup so they

428
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 8: accomplished everything he would want a player of their ilk

429
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 8: to accomplish for, their teams which also makes them really.

430
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 8: Special players and, you know their their careers are inextricably

431
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 8: intertwined forever, in history and we're really fortunate to be

432
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 8: able to actually watch. THEM again i don't Know if

433
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 8: sid will play both games.

434
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 2: This week, oh no he's going to play.

435
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,719
Speaker 1: Both games he's not going to disrespect he'd perceive it

436
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: to BE disrespecting ov by not Playing at washington what

437
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: could be their.

438
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 2: Last meeting there's no way.

439
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 8: He, sits well that's a. GOOD point i haven't thought

440
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 8: of that aspect, of it but, YOU know i think

441
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 8: that there's no doubt that it's one of those things

442
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 8: you want to savor because you may never see it

443
00:20:59,440 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 8: again after.

444
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 3: This weekend what makes their?

445
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: Rivalry great and earlier we were talking about some of the,

446
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: great moments like the dueling hat tricks in that playoff

447
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: game in two thousand, and nine and a ton of

448
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: number stats, all that but what made it great was what,

449
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: you saw not what The score, seats said those guys

450
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: were always like two rams on a mountaintop butting heads

451
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: and just like there was no quarter given nor, Any

452
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: asked and there was dislike at the beginning staggy as we,

453
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 1: both know but it grew into respect and maybe even fondness.

454
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: BY now.

455
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 8: I was amazed to see them kind of develop a

456
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 8: bit of a, you. KNOW friendship i think when you

457
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 8: get all star games in different situations where they're put

458
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 8: in the in the same, rink together they they've grown to,

459
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 8: you know appreciate and like. EACH other i think you're right.

460
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,239
Speaker 3: About that it was an.

461
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 8: Incredible rivalry and what made it also interesting Was that

462
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 8: gino was thrown in there Right, Because gino gino and

463
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 8: all we would not get along.

464
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 3: Really well at the.

465
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 8: Beginning either those guys, became friends BUT they i would

466
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 8: say that it was more heated between those two than

467
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 8: it Was between Ovie.

468
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 3: And Sid, with sid.

469
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 8: It was more of a almost like a kind of

470
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 8: a grudgy.

471
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 3: Kind of of a of a.

472
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 8: Rivalry where he, he uh, you know there was there

473
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 8: was something about the Difference between ovie his personality and

474
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 8: the Difference and sid's personality was it was.

475
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: Like it Was Like, James bond sid And a BOND

480
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: Like like gina Was a russian.

481
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 2: Double, agent.

482
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. It was it.

483
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 8: Was great it made for. Great theater the league really

484
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 8: benefited from, it too and they they took full advantage.

485
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 8: OF it i can tell you BECAUSE when i WAS

486
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 8: doing tv for those eleven Years With, bob airy we

487
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 8: rarely got to call. Those games they use were taken

488
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 8: by the networks because they wanted to have. That theater

489
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 8: and it was a great rivalry For the and when

490
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 8: you think about What what sid, you know Did For

491
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 8: pittsburgh hockey And what dovechka Did in WASHINGTON. D c,

492
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 8: i mean, come on the league really benefited from having

493
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 8: those two committed of the league at.

494
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 3: The, same TIME and.

495
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 8: I think they're still benefiting. From it that's.

496
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: What's, amazing well what's what's sad is that they have

497
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: to benefit. From it you look at guys like McDavid,

498
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: and McKinnon who should have, you know taken the mantle

499
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: as the faces, of hockey and they. Just haven't Ovi

500
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 1: and sid at forty and thirty eight are still very

501
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: much the faces OF. The NHL and i think That's

502
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: because sid in particular understood the responsibility of being.

503
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 2: That guy and guys like McDavid.

504
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: And McKinnon i'm going to be, blunt stagging it's like

505
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: they all had charisma.

506
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 2: Bypass surgery, well yeah.

507
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 8: Sid uh and what's interesting too is didn't didn't go

508
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 8: about out his business of gaining that sort of respect

509
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 8: as a person by or or you KNOW that i

510
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 8: guess visibility if, you will by being. A jerk he

511
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 8: did it by being a, good guy which is rare in,

512
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 8: sports too because he's just one of those guys that

513
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 8: knew exactly how to nurture. His image there was nothing fake.

514
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 8: About it it's, completely sincere and over time people have

515
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 8: learned that he's one of the greatest people ever to

516
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 8: play at a high level in. Any sport and, You

517
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 8: know obi's personality is, just different like he never had.

518
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 8: THAT reputation i think in Recent years obi's gained more

519
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 8: respect as a as a. Solid citizen but, you know

520
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 8: earlier on in, his career he kind of seemed like

521
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 8: a little bit of a jerk, at times, You.

522
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: Know, citizen, yeah no he got, wound up but you

523
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: know he played a.

524
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 2: Physical game that was part.

525
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: Of it AND like, I said stag he's a bond

526
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: villain or sidonovis he was Or sitting ob both top. Five,

527
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: Players ever i'm Sure is ovi's part of my rotating

528
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: debate at.

529
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 2: Number five.

530
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 3: They're definitely.

531
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 8: RIGHT there, I mean i don't know about top Five. For,

532
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 8: ob well, ah boy it's such a. Hard Argument because

533
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 8: obe just turned out to be the greatest goal scorer that.

534
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 8: Ever lived that's gotta be worth something in the.

535
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: Top, one, Well no mario's the greatest goal scorer that's.

536
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: EVER lived ovi has the, most goals and there's a. Subtle, Difference.

537
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 8: Yeah mario had a variety of ways of. Scoring goals

538
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 8: but To see ob continue to put out the numbers

539
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 8: He Did no one goals in an era when the

540
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 8: goalies became a lot harder, to beat was. Pretty impressive

541
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 8: that thirty one.

542
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: This year stagging only five on the. Power, play now

543
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: that power play number, is weird but that's a lot

544
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: of five on five goals for a forty.

545
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 8: YEAR old, i, know well we're all Raving About anthony

546
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 8: mantha having thirty.

547
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 2: One goals tobe has the.

548
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 8: Same number it's just that he used to, score sixties

549
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 8: so we think like he's not not as much of

550
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 8: a goal scorer as. HE was i Look at obie

551
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 8: more like a home, run hitter, you know, and uh,

552
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 8: you know he would stand over there in that left

553
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 8: wing and a lot of his goals were scored from.

554
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 8: THAT spot a couple of, years ago they had a

555
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 8: reel of every one of, his goals which is kind

556
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 8: of cool. To watch takes, a while but you see

557
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 8: how many of them were scored from. That spot not

558
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 8: that he didn't have other ways, of scoring but it's Different.

559
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 8: Than mario mario had that ability to deep goalies and

560
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 8: make them, look silly and he scored from all, different

561
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 8: angles and he scored on breakaways and, you know snap

562
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 8: shots and slap shots in every possible way you can.

563
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 8: IMAGINE backhanders, i mean he was really such a phenomenal.

564
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 8: GOAL scorer i don't think people necessarily Think of mario

565
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 8: that way all. The time they think of him more

566
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 8: as Almost a retzky, type player, you know being more

567
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 8: of a playmaker and a guy who.

568
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 3: Could score, BUT oh.

569
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 2: I disagree i think. THEY think.

570
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 3: I don't i don't.

571
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 8: THINK that i think people think.

572
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: That anybody who does. This wrong mario is the best

573
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: goal scorer of. All time we're Talking to staggy here

574
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: ON The, x staggy are we ever going to Think

575
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 1: that sid was Better? THAN mario i DON'T think, i

576
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: will but it's gotten CLOSER than i. Ever, Imagined.

577
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 8: Yeah i'm with. YOU there i Think because sid's style is,

578
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 8: so different he didn't have that larger than life Quality that.

579
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 8: Mario had where he was you couldn't miss him out

580
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 8: there on. The ice he was such a, big guy

581
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 8: and especially compared to the other players at, that time

582
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 8: and then when you think of the skill and everything

583
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 8: that he had at, THAT size i think that he kind.

584
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 3: Of became a more obvious choice as the.

585
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 8: Greatest Player but sid had a little bit more subtlety into.

586
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 8: His game and, you know we talked about it before

587
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 8: him being the king of, the grinders which he hates,

588
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 8: that description but it's kind of true the way the

589
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 8: game changed when he came into. The league he could

590
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 8: score off the rush to, do phenomenal. Wonderful things, you

591
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 8: know lots of great highlights of him running the gauntlet

592
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 8: and blowing through four people at once and all. That

593
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 8: stuff but, you know the other stuff that made him

594
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 8: so great was what he does in, the offense was

595
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 8: on them out of, the corners off, the wall around,

596
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 8: the net, you know that kind. Of stuff so there

597
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 8: were a lot of qualities to SAID that i think

598
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 8: made him a uniquely. Great player and that two.

599
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 3: Hundred foot game is.

600
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 8: Another aspect the way he improved himself as a face.

601
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 2: Off, guy oh the.

602
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: Way he plays on, the backhands do. TAGG you i

603
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: don't want to leave. That out they're just every great

604
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: PLAYER has x amount that makes, him Unique and sid

605
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: checks a lot of boxes.

606
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 2: In terms of what makes. Him unique what's your.

607
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 1: Take on the peng was being back in the playoffs

608
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: for the first time since twenty. Twenty two what is

609
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: the single biggest fact that enabled them to do what

610
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: nobody thought?

611
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 2: They?

612
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 8: COULD well i think It, was well the first Thing

613
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 8: was kyle du was getting good hockey players. TOO compliment,

614
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 8: i mean they made a lot, of changes there's a

615
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 8: lot of new faces in, that LINEUP but i guess

616
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 8: none of us really realized how much those guys would

617
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 8: have an impact ON the.

618
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 3: Peg was as.

619
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: A whole the career years.

620
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 8: That so many of them have had.

621
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 2: With eleven i'm about that career years.

622
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 8: OR whatever, I mean i think that's the. Biggest thing

623
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 8: but then why did they have those? Career, years well

624
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 8: the coach has.

625
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:05,600

00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 8: i mean right from, day one mark when they Won

630
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 8: In new york, for nothing we saw a different kind

631
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 8: of approach That the penguins were taking with, four lines

632
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 8: the way that they activated their defense off the, blue

633
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 8: line the creative things they were doing in the, offensive

634
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 8: zone the fact that he was spreading the ice time

635
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 8: around the way, he did and then Of Course eric

636
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 8: carlson just suddenly turning Back Into eric carlson after a

637
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 8: couple of years where people were covering their eyes a

638
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 8: lot when he was playing so so many, great things and,

639
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 8: you know it's really kind of one of the great

640
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 8: stories in the history of. THE franchise, i mean, you

641
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 8: know you don't have to necessarily Win The stanley cup

642
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 8: to be considered one of the best teams ever in

643
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 8: the history of. This organization but this is really one

644
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 8: of the really special stories in the history Of, the fridge.

645
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: More a special story than a, special team although it

646
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: might yet prove to. BE special i think the scoring

647
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: depth is. Just incredible twelve guys with ten or. More

648
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: goals like you talked about the Resurrection of carlson and

649
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: we Haven't Mentioned. China kough there are nights he's their,

650
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: Best player like, Last night Sid and gino.

651
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: Were great Last night chinaklough. Was better he's that kind.

652
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 2: Of talent.

653
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 8: He's unreal and he can, really skate he can shoot,

654
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 8: the puck and. He's smart he plays. Good defense what's

655
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 8: not to like?

656
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 3: About?

657
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 8: Him man, YOU know i mean people say it, every

658
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 8: day What was? Columbus Thinking but i'm glad they weren't

659
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 8: thinking Because the penguins. Got themselves the guys are going

660
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 8: to be a stud for a. Long TIME and i

661
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 8: like his. Personality too he's kind of quiet in, a way,

662
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 8: you know the. Language barrier he kind of makes you

663
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 8: wonder what his personality is really. LIKE sometimes i know he's,

664
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 8: a real, you know nice guy. Like that i'd put

665
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 8: it in that category and a, good PERSON so i

666
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 8: think they really got the complete. Package there and He compliments,

667
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 8: GINO well i think He thinks gino has been good

668
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 8: for him as, you know as well an interesting mark

669
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 8: THAT he's, I know i was just gonna say that

670
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 8: isn't interesting that he also could play with Sid like

671
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 8: it shows you he can play, with anybody and and

672
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 8: that whoever's playing with him really appreciates what.

673
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 3: He does.

674
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: NO question i think he's a potential forty goal guy in. The,

675
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: future staggy who would you most like to play in?

676
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: The playoffs, So though i'll, be Honest, Between, philadelphia Columbus

677
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: the Islanders, in washington even with a six, Percent chance

678
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: i'm not sure any of those is a team to be.

679
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: Afraid Of but i'd rather not play a. Good, goaltender.

680
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 8: Yeah who has the? Best Goaltender? Maybe Washington, no No

681
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 8: and sorokin For. The, ISLANDERS yeah i just chased him

682
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 8: out of. A game maybe that's. One game everybody picks

683
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 8: him as the bes of, the GUY but i haven't

684
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 8: seen it except for the game and he stole from

685
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 8: the thing was in, the playoffs the one here When

686
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 8: when jarry gave it threw the puck away and, you

687
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 8: know ruined the whole. Playoff series that's the ONLY time

688
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 8: i remember him really Torturing. The penguins, but anyway. YOU'RE right,

689
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 8: i mean he's generally considered the. BEST goalie I Think

690
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 8: logan thompson's pretty. Good TOO but i Think the flyers

691
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 8: are the most interesting to play because of the rivalry

692
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 8: that will, be heated and it would be really fun

693
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 8: because just for, obvious Reasons the islanders have always been

694
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 8: the penguins kryptonite and they bought it really annoys me

695
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 8: when we, play them but, you know score eight goals

696
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 8: against them recently really kind of changed my view. Of

697
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 8: it and Now with Pete the boer, TAKING over, i

698
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 8: mean it wouldn't surprise me if they won their last all.

699
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 8: Remaining games they had four, to go all, at home by,

700
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 8: the way and if they win, them all, you know

701
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 8: they end up in that spot to Play. The penguins

702
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 8: they'll be in a, different, mindset headspace, you know after

703
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 8: having accomplished that than they were even a week and a.

704
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 8: Half ago so that would be a very interesting and typically.

705
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 8: DIFFICULT series i think For the penguins Against, THE islanders

706
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 8: i just don't think it's as sexy as the series Against.

707
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 8: The Flyers so i'm Picking the flyers as a as

708
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 8: a series that would be most fun and exciting for

709
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 8: the People.

710
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: Of pittsburgh only problem With that stagger is if you

711
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,719
Speaker 1: lose your carried around like. A DISEASE i, I know

712
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: I know, i Would but stagger one. Last thing ain't?

713
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: This fun ain't it great to be back in the

714
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: mix And. THE penguins a couple, of Them like Shay,

715
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: and rust were talking about how they showed everybody there

716
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: was no reason to think they'd be. ANY good i

717
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: don't think a revenge tour behooves. THESE guys i think

718
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: they got to where they got based on merit and

719
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: now they can do.

720
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 2: Even, MORE.

721
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 8: Yeah. I am i know that sports teams like to

722
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 8: use that we, showed them, you know we proved to

723
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 8: you and we.

724
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 2: Were good, You, Guys staggy i'm.

725
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: Small potatoes they don't need to show. Me anything they

726
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: need to beat the, freaking fires just like.

727
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 8: A rallying cry that a lot of sports, teams use,

728
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 8: You know and in, THIS case i wouldn't, be ashamed,

729
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 8: you know For the penguins to, say that, you know we,

730
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 8: surprised ourselves, you know like they're lowed to say. THAT

731
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 8: too i mean they, all obviously each guy believes in,

732
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 8: his ability but there was no reason really going into.

733
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 8: THE season i would say that their mindset might have

734
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 8: changed after, training camp because after they saw what they

735
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 8: had in, the room the kind of people that were playing,

736
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 8: with them, the play after they were on the ice,

737
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 8: with them playing, preseason games Working With, dan muse. Et

738
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 8: cetera once, that happened that's when. THEY started I think

739
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 8: i have a, feeling, that hey we're we're actually a

740
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 8: pretty good, hockey team better than anybody thinks. We are

741
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 8: but prior to, training camp there was NO way a

742
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 8: lot of players in that room were necessarily convinced That

743
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 8: the penguins were going to be a really. Good Team

744
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 8: And i'm i'm happy that it turned out, that WAY

745
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 8: and i think the players shouldn't necessarily feel some sort

746
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 8: of negative feelings about all the people who said that

747
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 8: they weren't going to, go anywhere because there was like

748
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 8: probably ninety nine point nine percent of the people who

749
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 8: follow hockey didn't Think the penguins were going to do what.

750
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 2: They did staggy's always. Great stuff we'll see at.

Speaker 1: A lot of regrouping because, you Know the pirates have

785
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: kind of put my love of baseball on hold for for.

786
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: Many years maybe they can bring it back, this year

787
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: and not because they, don't win but because, they're just,

788
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: you know a thieving organization that's cheated the city for,

789
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: so long which IS why i don't trust anything they've

790
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: done lately to be anything more than temporary appeasement until

791
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: it proves to be more.

792
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 2: Than THAT but i really do like baseball as a, game.

793
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,800

797
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,440

798
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,880

Speaker 2: DO that i don't think he's.

800
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,240

801

Speaker 1: assistant gm something LIKE that i could see him seeing

802

Speaker 9: UP mine i just had a quick Question About jimmy

808
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 9: PAGE because i know you're A huge. Zeppelin fan why

809
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,120

810
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 9: material i know we did those two albums With the

811
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 9: firm back in the, mid EIGHTIES which i did see

812
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 9: them live and they.

813
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 3: WERE awesome i just wanted to know.

814
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: Your, OPINION well I think jimmy has spent most of

815
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: His post zeppelin career being the cure Of the, zeppelin

816
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 1: legacy the keeper of. The flame he's, you know remastered,

817
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: every album repackaged a lot.

818
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 2: OF stuff i just think he's looked After the. Zeppelin.

819
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: Legacy now he did the two albums With, the Firm

820
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: That's paul rodgers, on vocals and they, were EXCELLENT and

821
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: i too saw them live a couple. Of times he

822
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: Did That coverdell page Album With david Coverdill, a whitesnake

823
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: WHICH is I think jimmy's Best non. Zeppelin work that

824
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: was just a killer of. An Album and i'm sorry they.

825
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: Never tour did Here in America because page got back Together.

826
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: With plant, after that He did Walking into clarksteel With,

827
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: a plant did that live album Unleaded, with plant and

828
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: he did a solo Album. Called outriders so It's like jimmy's,

829
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: Done NOTHING but i think he spent most of, his

830
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: TIME like, i said being the keeper Of the.

831
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 2: Zeppelin flame let's Go.

835
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:06,759

836
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:06,920

838
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:12,680

839
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 3: he comes back.

840
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 2: NEXT year i think you'd like to.

841
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: Come BACK and i think given the way he's played

842
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,439
Speaker 1: and the point production and then making, The playoffs i'd

843
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: be surprised if he didn't, come BACK and i would

844
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: give him a one.

845
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:22,919
Speaker 2: Year deal the ONLY thing.

846
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: I think that could kill the deal would be if

847
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: he holds out for, Two years and there's no way

848
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: they would or should give him a two. Year deal

849
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: you can't give him term Longer than crosby's for.

850
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:34,799
