1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:01,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. 2 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 2: I keeping a bunch of people saying, could you imagine 3 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 2: this offense with Pickens? It'll be worse. He wouldn't get 4 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 2: the numbers. It'd be a distraction. Do you want to 5 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 2: win or do you want to play Fantasy League? But 6 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 2: a lot of guys who do this job, a lot 7 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 2: of guys in talk radio, especially in this town, their 8 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 2: whole outlook is based on betting and fantasy league as 9 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 2: opposed to playing winning football. I understand that winning football is, 10 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 2: and George Pickens doesn't play it. Antonio bron didn't play it. 11 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 2: Leveon Bell didn't play it. We got Phil Burk at 12 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 2: the bottom of the hour. If I get there, my 13 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 2: throat is killing me. You'd be doing me a great 14 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 2: service if you called in a three, three, four one 15 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 2: two w XDX. The PEG was lost to New York 16 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 2: Rangers on Saturday at PPG six to one, Wow, six 17 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: to one, and now head out to Cali for three games. 18 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 2: The PEG was actually got off to a good startup 19 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 2: PPG on Saturday. Kindle scored his first NHL goal to 20 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,839 Speaker 2: make it one one, but the Penguins then got sloppy 21 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 2: by way of maybe being two full of themselves. After 22 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 2: winning the first two games, overpassing it. Kind of a 23 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 2: nod back to last year. That's why I wouldn't for 24 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 2: sure would not play sind rustin raquel together. They played 25 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 2: by Rhodes. Put a kid with those guys. They tried 26 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 2: different stuff. I'd played kindle with Sin and whoever coved 27 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 2: and if they call him back up with Sid and whoever? 28 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 3: Uh. 29 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 2: Sin Gino had zero shots after two periods, just one each. 30 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 2: On the game, Sid was minus three and that's okay. 31 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 2: He's out there a ton. He gets bad matchups. There's 32 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 2: gonna be nights like that. I talked to. 33 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 4: Mike Sullivan after kind of brief not cold but not warm. 34 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 2: Hey, I know Sully was mad because I criticized him 35 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 2: down the stretch of his tenure here and thought he 36 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 2: should go. And I stand by that he needed to go. 37 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 2: He got a nice ovation the for the tribute video. 38 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 2: Uh it definitely should have duh. And I'm forever grateful 39 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 2: to Mike Selivan, who's a real good guy because he 40 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: wont to Stanley Couch for the team I've supported since 41 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 2: I was a boy. But YO, with my business, if 42 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 2: I'm doing the job right, that's how it ends with 43 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: every coach, every coach. I'm always gonna do an honest show. 44 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 2: Let's go to Alex Aleix show with double M What 45 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 2: up me? 46 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 5: So I'm kind of with you on kind of the 47 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 5: Penguin start to the season. I kind of figured this 48 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 5: is how it would go. They'd have like kind of 49 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 5: a jolt from the young kids and then kind of 50 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 5: settled back in to where they were. 51 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 2: I think that'll be odd and off, but yeah, we 52 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 2: certainly have seen a bit of that in the first 53 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 2: three games. 54 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, and Mike Sullivan coming back. He got every he 55 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 5: got the ovation. He should have two cups, most wins 56 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 5: in the history of the franchise as a coach. I 57 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 5: am grateful to him because, like you, have supported this 58 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 5: team since I was a kid, and I thought that 59 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 5: they did it very classically. I just wish they didn't 60 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,399 Speaker 5: blow the Penguins out six to one. 61 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 2: I'm a big Selley fan, but he stayed too long. 62 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: And one thing about Dan Muse, he's a good coach. 63 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 2: He won't coach this team good enough to make the 64 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: playoffs this year, I don't think. But it's not stale anymore. 65 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: If Sully was here, they'd be doing the same things 66 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 2: the players would be hearing the same things, doing the 67 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 2: same things. This is just better and that's very evident already. 68 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 2: Let's go to Dutch dutchow with double M. 69 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,119 Speaker 1: Hey, thanks, super genius, right, first time caller, a long 70 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: time listener. I just wanted to say, sorry, you're under 71 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: the weather. And I don't mind watching George Pickens do 72 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: his thing in another team's uniform. I enjoy the highlights 73 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: and I'm glad he's off the team. 74 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not gonna win with him. I don't care 75 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 2: what his numbers are. But seriously, a lot of guys 76 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: who do what I do, they based so much of 77 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 2: what they opened on betting and fantasy football. 78 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't speak to that. I only watch football 79 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: on TV. That's just as far as my knowledge of 80 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: it goes. But I'm gonna die hard when it comes. 81 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 4: To that fantasy football. 82 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 2: Fantasy football can't increase your knowledge of the game. 83 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 4: It can also warp it. 84 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 1: I get that, I get that. Yeah, I just I 85 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: just think Pickings reached a point where. 86 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 5: He was uncoachable. 87 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 2: It'll reach that point there too, for sure. Thank you 88 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 2: for the call, Dutch. I like that named Dutch.

I just don't think that approach with 99 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 2: defense uber Ales is gonna win playoff games. I don't 100 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 2: think it's gonna beat good teams. I don't think it's 101 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: gonna come from me high against pretty much any team 102 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 2: once you're down by more than one score. Consider this. 103 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 2: The only time this year they were down by more 104 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 2: than one score. That was the Seattle game and they 105 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 2: lost it. I'm not trying to be Wie Donner. If 106 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 2: I was a take a healthy on I said that earlier. 107 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 4: Do you got what? 108 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 2: I just don't see it as an depressive four and one. 109 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,119 Speaker 2: I didn't see it as an oppressive game yesterday, despite winning. 110 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 4: That's what you always see. Well, it doesn't matter if 111 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 4: you win, Oh sure it does, Sure it does. 112 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 2: You got to put yourself in a position to keep 113 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 2: winning and to win in playoff games, and to be 114 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 2: good teams, not just to win this week, but to 115 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: win more and to win enough. But you like, and 116 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 2: I like, and they like especially that every game means something, 117 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 2: and right now they are and they're probably going to 118 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 2: all season.

And the reason being 125 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 7: is is not just because they lost those games, but 126 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 7: because of how bad and toxic it was getting, you know, 127 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 7: with the fans. 128 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 2: And Okay, the fans don't the fans don't matter. The 129 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 2: fans don't matter. Fans are always gonna be toxic when 130 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 2: you lose. Their opinion doesn't matter at all to me anyway. 131 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I get that. 132 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 2: I just mean, the minute you start making decisions, not 133 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 2: least on who your coach is, based on what the 134 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 2: fans want, you're screwed. 135 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 4: I get it. 136 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 7: It just seemed like Franklin himself was even checked out 137 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 7: towards the end, Like when they lost on Saturday, he 138 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 7: couldn't even give them a straight answer on whether or 139 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 7: not he still wanted to be the coach when he 140 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 7: was asked in the press conference. 141 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 4: Well, I think that's because he had already been told. 142 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 4: I think he had already been told he was done. 143 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 7: Okay, fair enough, I do think he had to be fired. 144 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 4: But why why where's it go from here? 145 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 7: But I mean, I mean, the results, who even again? 146 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 4: Who even again? 147 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 7: I can't give you a name off the top of 148 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 7: my head.

And 180 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 3: just like that last caller, they think all these head 181 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 3: coaches want their job really bad. I don't think they're 182 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 3: going to get a top tier head coach. Why would 183 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 3: anybody go there? And with those expectations would be a 184 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 3: death sentence. 185 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 2: No, Matt Roll's just some guy. He's the AD's buddy. 186 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 2: It's Buddy System. It's a bad hire. You'd have rather 187 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 2: kept Franklin than hiring Matt Role. 188 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 3: I didn't like Matt Role when he was at Baylor, 189 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 3: Orth Carolina now Nebraska, but I hope he goes there 190 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 3: because he would fail. 191 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 4: That's the spirit.

But I'll get through it. 233 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,719 Speaker 8: Okay, Well, all right, all right, I'm thinking about you. 234 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 8: What what went well? The first two games? I thought 235 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 8: the Penguins their energy, their speed, their youth, goaltending, special 236 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 8: teams were all on point. I just thought they they 237 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 8: played a very cerebral game. They played situational hockey, you know, 238 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 8: depending on what the score was, what the situation was, 239 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 8: and they had good starts in the hockey games, both 240 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 8: of them, really, and I thought it was a carryover. 241 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 8: I know, the preseasons different. You have a lot of 242 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 8: guys going in and out, but they did win five 243 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 8: straight to finish off the preseason. And what I'm looking 244 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 8: for from this hockey team that I saw the first 245 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 8: couple of games and really those games, you know, ending 246 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 8: the preseason schedule, was do they have a blueprint? Did 247 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 8: they know how to win on a consistent basis? And 248 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 8: I think dan Mus has started to build the foundation 249 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 8: of that blueprint and put certain things in place as 250 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 8: far as their system and how they're going to play 251 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 8: in the style they're going to play. I thought it 252 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 8: was all there. What happened in the game against the 253 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 8: Rangers at the other night, it was almost a complete opposite. 254 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 8: They had some chances early on just Cirkin was really good, 255 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 8: as you would expect him to be. But I thought 256 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 8: that short handed goal against really kind of set them 257 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 8: back on their heels a little bit, and I was 258 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 8: really disappointed that they didn't take it to another level 259 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 8: after Ben Kindall scored his first NHL goal. So I 260 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 8: don't put a lot of weight into that game because 261 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 8: I can't think of one really good thing I liked, 262 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 8: except that they had some chances early on, they didn't 263 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 8: Solvestrkin and the Rangers got to their game. I just 264 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 8: felt like the Penguins just they didn't have their fastball. 265 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 8: They didn't have their a game against the Rangers. I 266 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 8: don't know why. I'm not going to make excuses that, 267 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 8: you know that they were, you know, distracted by Mike 268 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 8: Salvin being there the first time. I'm not going to 269 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 8: buy into that. I just think they just didn't have 270 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 8: their best game. So that's what makes the game tomorrow 271 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 8: night against Anaheim really curious for me to see if 272 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 8: they can bounce back and do all those things they 273 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 8: did the first two games, they got them to the 274 00:13:59,360 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 8: two wins. 275 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 4: What's your take on Bernick and Kindle so far? 276 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 8: I think they're playing like they want to stay here. 277 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 8: That's what I'm seeing. I'll start with Kindle first. It's remarkable. 278 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 8: We haven't seen this since probably Jordan Stall right mark 279 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 8: forward as an eighteen year old being an impactful player, 280 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 8: and his skill and his speed are just so evident. 281 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 8: It's consistent that he's very noticeable on the ice. The 282 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 8: goal that he scored against the circ and I still 283 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 8: don't know if a hit a defenseman stick or not, 284 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 8: but he just don't beat the circuit from outside the 285 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 8: dot like that, especially short side glove side, and he 286 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 8: did because he shot the fucking full flight. Also, he 287 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 8: seems fearless, you know a little bit of Jake Gentsel 288 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 8: on him, right Mark that he'll go to the front 289 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 8: of the net, he'll go on the corner with Matt 290 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 8: Rempe at six foot nine, and he understands, I can't 291 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 8: put myself in a position to get absolutely annihilated here. 292 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 8: And he uses his leverage and he uses his smarts 293 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 8: and his feet to get to loose pucks and as 294 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 8: far as Bruneck Brunus, he's an exceptional hockey player. The 295 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 8: smarts number one jump out to me that he thinks 296 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 8: the game at next level. He's got great instincts and 297 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 8: when to jump up. Does he have some things to 298 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 8: work on defensively as far as you know, angling and 299 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 8: and things like that, and you know, a better stick 300 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 8: stick on pucking the defensive zone. Those things will come. 301 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 8: I'm not worried about that. But he's a next level 302 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 8: player and you know, to be that young again, a 303 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 8: nineteen year old to think the game at the next level, 304 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 8: to self evaluate himself. And even though he makes mistakes, 305 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 8: the next shift, he's not rattled. You know, they don't 306 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 8: compound themselves where he's you know, take them three or 307 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 8: four shifts to recover from a bad turnover. The next 308 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 8: shift usually goes out and the goal he scored, you know, 309 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 8: came off for his previous shift was not great. He 310 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 8: came out the next shift and scored a goal. So 311 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 8: both of them are playing like we're not here for 312 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 8: the nine game audition, which to be here for the 313 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 8: whole season. 314 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 4: What's your take on the goaltending So far? 315 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 8: Goaltending has been good, well, Golding has been really good. 316 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 8: You know, that game against the Islanders for Tristan Jarry. 317 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 8: I don't know if people I know. I know people 318 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 8: have hurt feelings with Tristan Jarry because of his inconsistency. 319 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 3: I get it. 320 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 8: But that game against the Islanders, he made so many 321 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 8: saves in that game that allowed the Penguins to either 322 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 8: hang around or you know, to get the victory and 323 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 8: go back to that brunic gold that I was talking about. 324 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 8: Thirty seconds earlier, he made an incredible save on Jay 325 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 8: g Pagot that would have made a three to one 326 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 8: Islanders if not for that. It was later Brunus scores 327 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 8: makes the two two crowd into it, teams into it, 328 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 8: and they're on their way. So I think Tristan Jarry's 329 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 8: looked really, really good so far. Again, that game against 330 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 8: the Rangers was she lost, he lost, didn't look great, 331 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 8: the whole team didn't look great. Again, I can easily 332 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 8: flush those kind of games when you know, you look 333 00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 8: at the next game and they bounced right back. So 334 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 8: I think there's a nice, healthy competition between the two. 335 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 8: I don't think you can say either one is clearly 336 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 8: the number one goalie so far early on it's too early. 337 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 8: I think both of them are fighting for the net, 338 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 8: and I wouldn't be surprised if they kind of alternate 339 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 8: back and forth here in the first twenty games to 340 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 8: see who wants to take the net a little bit more. 341 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 2: I like them alkin line worky. How about you three 342 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 2: six foot five guys including Gino. It's not the speed 343 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 2: Geno's usually play with, but it's a different look and 344 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 2: I think it's working right now. 345 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 8: Yeah, it is. I'm still waiting for Anthony Manson to 346 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 8: get to a next level, but he's been good. He's 347 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 8: been complementary on that line. I know there's the next 348 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 8: level for Anthony Manton, but in the meantime, Justin Bursau 349 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 8: has really jumped off the ice of you. Not only 350 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 8: because of the goals, that's the obvious thing, but he's 351 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 8: doing a lot of other things and he's just playing 352 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 8: with so much confidence. And I remember when he was 353 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 8: at Boston Bruin or even the short time he was 354 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 8: the Minnesota wild player, he just kind of blended in 355 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 8: you all. And it's hard for a guy that six 356 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 8: foot six to blend in, but he did Buser, so 357 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 8: don't expect that from him. You go all the way 358 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 8: back to his junior career that you know, his last 359 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 8: year for the North Bay Battalion, he scored sixty one goals, 360 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 8: but I think he only had forty pins, you know, 361 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 8: so he's not that guy. But if you're not going 362 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 8: to be that guy at six foot six, you got 363 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 8: to do the other things like he's feeling, and get 364 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 8: to the front of the net and trading offense with 365 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 8: your size and it's going to goals that you're playing 366 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,439 Speaker 8: with Kenny Malkin. And I think Gino's ginos energized. We 367 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 8: start this from Gino last year in the first five games, 368 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 8: he had two goals on eleven points, and he was 369 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 8: leading the National Hockey League. And he's out of the 370 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 8: gate early again. So I hope he doesn't have to 371 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 8: drop off this season mark that he had last year. 372 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 8: After he comes out of the gate hot, and I 373 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 8: think Gino's he's energized. I think that he realizes this 374 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 8: possibly could be his last year as at Pittsburgh Penguin 375 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 8: and instead of kind of having you know, the booboo face, 376 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 8: I think he's feeling like I'm going to empty the 377 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 8: tank and whatever happens at the end of the year 378 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 8: happens if I'm if I get another contract with the Penguins, great, 379 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 8: If I get another contract in the NHL, great. If 380 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 8: I have to go to Magnea bors complaining the KHL great. 381 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 8: I think he plans on playing next year. Just we 382 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 8: don't know if you're going to have a forty year 383 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,199 Speaker 8: old on your lineup next year. Even if it is, 384 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 8: it's kidding walking, but I think he's he's playing with 385 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 8: a clear head and not worrying about any of those things. 386 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 8: And just you know, Gino, he's pretty simple, right mark 387 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 8: that when he's when he's in a happy place between 388 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 8: the years and emotionally, which I think he is. I 389 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 8: think that's when you just see galloping Gino and he's 390 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 8: just having fun playing hockeys. 391 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 2: I'm not huge on the bottom six y just yet. 392 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 2: I see flashes Borkie. I don't see the sustained chaos. 393 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 8: Yea, I agree, Double, I agree with you. It's it's 394 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 8: something that's definitely on my radar, and it's early on, 395 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 8: but I think you need to see I like Connor Doer. 396 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 8: I think he's a suitable guy. I think he's just 397 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 8: being more from Blake Lazatt Nola Chari. You know guys 398 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 8: like that. You know, where does Phillip Thomasino fit in? 399 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 8: You know, Tommy Novak has got to be another level 400 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,719 Speaker 8: for him. You know, we haven't seen much of him, 401 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 8: but he played one game and period or a period 402 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 8: and a half last year the Penguin before he got hurt, 403 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 8: So we don't really know. We know he's a former 404 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 8: first round pick, but that doesn't mean a hill of 405 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 8: beans anymore. I think we're past all that that he's not. 406 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 8: You know, he's not one of those first round picks 407 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 8: that's gonna all of a sudden explode. He's got to 408 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 8: find his niche, right, He's got to find out who 409 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 8: is he, what's his identity? How does he fit in 410 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 8: this hockey team? Because there's a lot of guys either 411 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 8: here in Pittsburgh or down in Wilkesbury that are hungry 412 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 8: to take his job. And I think if he doesn't 413 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 8: get to a next level and doesn't become more noticeable, 414 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 8: I think he's an easy replaceable guy. I think right. 415 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 2: Now we're talking to Phil Bourg, two times Stanley Cup champion. 416 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 2: Hear him on the Penguins radio network and see him 417 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 2: on sports Net Pittsburgh board game. Uh, you know, it's 418 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 2: not bad on defense? Is this watherspoon? And I'm not 419 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 2: sure why. Maybe that's the idea. Maybe that's why I 420 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 2: think that that's what. 421 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 8: Actually, that's a great compliment to him, right, Yeah, he's 422 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 8: just solid. Right, He's solid. And I think just as 423 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 8: importantly he fits with Carlson, right, And I you know, 424 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 8: I think that uh, you know, I talked to him 425 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 8: a little bit the other day and he said that 426 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 8: him and Carlson had a little chat before the season, 427 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 8: and you know Ericson Errickson kind of guy that he's 428 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 8: kind of an open book, right it comes to the 429 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 8: way he plays, and he's kind of unapologetic about it. 430 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 8: And I think all this, uh is embracing that role 431 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 8: of Okay, I just need to be the anchor here. 432 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 8: I'm playing with a future Hall of Fame defenseman. And 433 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 8: as long as I'm an anchor and I make him 434 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 8: look better than his last year, I think that's gonna 435 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 8: keep me in a lot. Because if he had a 436 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 8: great opportunity last year at Boston for sixty games because 437 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 8: Hampus lim Holmes got injured, and he took full advantage 438 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 8: of it and he established himself as a solid, you know, 439 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 8: stay at home defenseman, and as long as he's continued 440 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 8: in that role and understands his role, I think he's 441 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 8: gonna be in the lineup night in and night out. 442 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 8: And if it's making Eric Carlson look like a better defenseman, uh, 443 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 8: then I'm all for it. So, yeah, he understands nothing 444 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 8: ancy to his game. He's gotta be good on the PK. 445 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 8: He's got to be physical, and uh, he's just gotta 446 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 8: be that anchor for Carlson. 447 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 2: Now, the Pelets go to Cali for three games. Is 448 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 2: that a good trip to take with younger guys and 449 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 2: so much change this early of the season. 450 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 8: Yeah, one hundred percent. The guy's talked about it and 451 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 8: and I agree with it. I Mean, I know some 452 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 8: people kind of roll their eyes when it comes to 453 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 8: you know, building chemistry and you know, camaraderie and all 454 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 8: that stuff, but it's it's a real thing. It's you know, 455 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 8: the Penguins, I think they they're opening lineup against the Rangers. 456 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,959 Speaker 8: Mark there was a sixty five lineup change from the 457 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 8: opening night the year before against the Rangers on home ice. 458 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 8: So when you've had that much change, it's important to 459 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 8: get out on the road because you really don't go 460 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 8: on the road in the preseason. You travel the afternoon 461 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 8: of the game, you play the game, and you come 462 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 8: right back home again. So to have some days off, 463 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 8: to have some dinners, to have some some laughs and 464 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 8: yuck it up, and some free time and play cards 465 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 8: and all that stuff. You just start chatting and you 466 00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 8: get to know a guy. You get to know this 467 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 8: person and his lights and his dislikes. And I think 468 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,199 Speaker 8: that stuff's important when it comes to your chemistry that 469 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 8: you have on the ice. 470 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,479 Speaker 4: How has Dan Mused done so far? Uh? 471 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 2: What do you see him having changed? What's his what's 472 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 2: his impression so far? 473 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 8: Yeahs, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna get all giddy up, 474 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 8: jump up and down here early because it is too early. 475 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 8: We'll see when things, you know, get rocky, and how 476 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 8: he's able to pull the team out of that and 477 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 8: get them back to their winning ways. But just my 478 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 8: quick observations is and and and I'm using words from 479 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 8: the players that he's organized, he's a great communicator, that 480 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 8: he he's very decisive in what he does in the 481 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 8: delivery of his message. Uh, and he's got a voice 482 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 8: it's a it's a it's a deal. I think this 483 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 8: matters that he's got a presence when he locks in 484 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 8: into the locker room. You know, he's not a big guy, 485 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 8: but he's got a bit of a booming voice, and 486 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 8: he's got a commitment to what he's doing. And I 487 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 8: think when you when you prepare and you go all in, 488 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 8: the players see that you're all in, especially when you're 489 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 8: a guy that never played in the league before, so 490 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 8: you don't have that street cred when you walk into 491 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 8: the locker room. What gives you that respect? What makes 492 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 8: guys stop lacing up their skates when you walk in 493 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 8: the locker room. And as far as the x's and o's, 494 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 8: I think that there's I was talking to Brian Russ 495 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,719 Speaker 8: about this the other day that they they play a 496 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 8: man on man. They play a man on man until 497 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 8: they go the player goes above the top of the 498 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 8: circle and then you know, they do a handoff. So 499 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 8: he's kept the game simple, and I think he's trying 500 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 8: to make it fun too, because he's again in practice, 501 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 8: he's he's very hands on and practice, and I think 502 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 8: the guys like that. Not just a new voice, but 503 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 8: I think he's got fresh ideas, whether it's just drills 504 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 8: or ideas or game plan or whatever it is. I 505 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 8: think he's got their attention and he's making the game 506 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 8: fun for the guys. 507 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 2: Well, no offense to Selly because it was great to 508 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 2: see him when he returned on Saturday. But it's not 509 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 2: stale anymore. It's different, whether it's good, different, bad, different. 510 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 2: I'm just grateful for different right now. 511 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 8: No, that's fair, And I know we kind of tiptoe 512 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 8: around it, at least I do anyways when it comes 513 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 8: to Selly, you know, because we feel a kind of 514 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 8: a loyalty and everything else. But it was time. I 515 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 8: think at the end of the day, it was time. 516 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,239 Speaker 8: And I think, you know, Penguins are better for it. 517 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 8: I think Sally's better for it. I think the players 518 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 8: are better for it. And you know, ten years a 519 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 8: long time to coach and any of the major sports, 520 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 8: and I did. I just felt that his message was 521 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 8: not being received for whatever reason. And you wish him 522 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 8: the best except when he plays the Penguins, and you know, 523 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,120 Speaker 8: there's just too many times Mark I saw him walking 524 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 8: off the bench at the end of a game, just 525 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 8: disgusted and just kind of distraught, and he like he was. 526 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,959 Speaker 8: He was holding it too heavy on the heart, and 527 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 8: you know that's that's when it's time. And so I'm 528 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 8: glad that it happened for not only Selly, but for 529 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 8: the Penguins. 530 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 2: Finally, last Thursday, the home opener, that was great. Mario 531 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 2: showed up. He had to get together with Sid, Gino 532 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 2: and Tager afterwards, Gino's kid as well. 533 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 4: It really is part of what makes the franchise special. 534 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,479 Speaker 8: Isn't it, Amen, doublem Amen. I mean you and I 535 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 8: have talked outside of this show right here just about 536 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 8: the presence of Mario, and man, you just felt like 537 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 8: when he went up on the big screen there, he 538 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 8: just felt like the Penguins are gonna win this game 539 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 8: with the presence of sixty six in the building. And 540 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 8: I hope it happens more. I really do. I hope 541 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 8: it wasn't just a one time thing. I hope it 542 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:32,479 Speaker 8: happens more. And the fans love it, the players love it. 543 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 8: Everybody just loves him being in the building. And I 544 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 8: don't know how comfortable he is with that anymore. I 545 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 8: don't really talk to him about it, but I really 546 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,360 Speaker 8: mean that I hope it's more of a regular thing, 547 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 8: because I don't know if he realizes how important his 548 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 8: presence is to this organization, both in the locker room 549 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 8: and in the butts in the butts in the seats. 550 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 2: No question, Bor gave from your lips to God's ears 551 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 2: and for that matter, to Mario's years. There's really not 552 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 2: much difference between the two and my eyes.
