1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: I want to revisit what I talked about in the

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: first hour about the baseball salary cap. Somebody who was

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: it Rosenthal, somebody who is in the know about this

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: or should be. Although even the most credible of reporters

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 1: now make stuff up. Look at Schefter, I know he

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: makes stuff up or says what might happen, leaning toward

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: fact when he knows better. But anyway, I saw that

8
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: a baseball guy said that the figures mooted for a

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,279
Speaker 1: salary cap and floor would be for MLB would be

10
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: between one hundred and forty and one hundred and sixty

11
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: million for the floor, two hundred and sixty MILI to

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty.

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: Mil for the cap.

14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: That would limit the current spending of four or five

15
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: teams and would force twelve or thirteen teams to spend more.

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: The players would get more as a group under cap

17
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: percentage of revenue. The stars wouldn't get as much, but

18
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: the money would trickle down and would wind up being

19
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: a bigger figure in total. And the union won't want that,

20
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: because the union's about the stars and their agents, not

21
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: about the rank and file. And if you're a baseball

22
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: player in the rank and file a below the line

23
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: guy who votes to let those guys earn unlimited at

24
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: the expense of you making more. Boy, you're really stupid,

25
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: really really stupid. And of course we can talk about

26
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: the Penguins. Chinnikov got that goal last night. That's a

27
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: dad goal.

28
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 2: Just had a kid scored a goal of the next game.

29
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 2: That seems to happen a lot.

30
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: My favorite player as a kid for the Penguins, Greg Poulis,

31
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,559
Speaker 1: and me and my mom knew him and his wife

32
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: Lluell and Greg has since passed, but he was a.

33
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: Great guy to me.

34
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: And after his wife gave birth to their first child, Jason.

35
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: Who I babysat at one point that was fun.

36
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: Flew right to New York and played in the All

37
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: Star Game and scored two goals about MVP in the

38
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: car that dad will stuff. It's happened a couple times

39
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: this year with other members of the Penguins.

40
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: It's a thing. It's real.

41
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: The Penguins were very good last night against a team

42
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: that's not very good. But you need every single point,

43
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: no style points right now was sit out China Coffee's

44
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: a phenom. Connor Clifton, he's growing on me. I want

45
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: defensive depth, but he gets a lot done when he's

46
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: out there. Chiloff's played good, although my big fear was

47
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: when it was one to one and a third shootout loss.

48
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: Here we go again, but thank Heavens, it didn't come

49
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: to that. In the Jack Ughes moment at the start

50
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: of the game was great. The video the ovation him

51
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: waving Jack Ughes came through last night, so did you

52
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: the crowd of PPG Paint's arena.

53
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 3: Uh.

54
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: I feel bad still that Sid didn't play and didn't win,

55
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: but I'm good with how it worked out. A star

56
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: was born with Jack Ughes and quin Us and really

57
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: so many guys on that team. So happy for Vince

58
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: Trochek who joined me earlier, and JT. Miller heightening hockey

59
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh. Just like the four women who played for

60
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: penz Elites that won women's goal what they did for

61
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: hockey and Pittsburgh. Avian McNatt and one of the goalies

62
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: she joined me yesterday. It's been just a great week

63
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: of heroes here on the old WM show. Myself obviously included.

64
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: And again I can't say enough, and we'll keep saying.

65
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: Jack Hughes has since proven himself one hundred percent worthy

66
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: of that moment, and it's been made harder than it

67
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: should have been by the usual suspects and for all

68
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: the wrong reasons. But Jack Ughes, so far, he's a

69
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: stits Quinn. His brothers asted. All those guys have asted.

70
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: Brady could Chuck. They slandered him with an AI video

71
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: and he set the record straight. All those guys they've asted.

72
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: And the people know. We saw that last night. F Oberman,

73
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: F le Batard, F the Canadian media, f M. All

74
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: the people know, and the people are. What counts eight three,

75
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: three four one two WXDX is the number to call.

76
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: What else do we got?

77
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk in a little bit about that new

78
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: documentary coming out called A Football Town, about the Steelers,

79
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: about local football.

80
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: I think that's a good thing.

81
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: I just think the timing of it is a bit odd,

82
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: which I'll talk about. Let's go to Corey. Corey, you're

83
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: on with double M.

84
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 4: Hey, Good day, Double, I said, good day, Hey.

85
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 3: Speaking of Jack Hughes, I saw him with the X

86
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 3: on Wilkinsburg last night, grabbing some black and miles.

87
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 4: Any idea what was going on there?

88
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: Grabbing some what some black and mouths. I don't even

89
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 2: know what that is. What is it?

90
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 4: I don't like it, like a cigar type thing.

91
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: Okay, so so so as I too often have to

92
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: say to callers. So you thought you'd be funny and

93
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: filled miserably right? Is that how this worked out?

94
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 4: No, I'm not trying to be funny.

95
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: No, he wasn't at Wilkinsburg getting whatever you thought you

96
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: were funny. You should never call the show again. In fact,

97
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: you should never even open your mouth again. But thank

98
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: you A three three four one two WXDX. I'd rather

99
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: have Meghan Rapino called than feel that idiot. Okay, get

100
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: your calls in now eight three three four one two wxdx.

101
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: Unless you're Megan Rapino and that idiot Megan Rapino what

102
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,559
Speaker 1: well can't say, but she is, and by the okay,

103
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: I can say this.

104
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: What a haircut?

105
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: She's telling people they look like clowns. That haircut, that outfit.

106
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: Although you should tell I'm dressed now, all I'm lacking

107
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: is is the big shoes.

108
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,919

00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,119
Speaker 1: sath side, coming and get some of those Ducne football wings,

115
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: which are just unbelievably good. But right now, regarding Megan

116
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: Rapino taking the US men's hockey team to task, we've

117
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: actually heard from well, I didn't expect to hear from him,

118
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: but here's Frank Sinatra.

119
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what you better understand.

120
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 3: Next time you see old Glory riding up that Paul,

121
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 3: you better sing that at them, Darlin.

122
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: That's right, Frank.

123
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Megan Rapino ruined their team, made it so it's

124
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: not likable, which didn't affect her, but it affected the

125
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: women who came after her.

126
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: And now she's just she's just miserable. Is just miserable.

127
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: There's a lot I'd like to use that share used

128
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: in the movie Stuck on You, but I probably shouldn't.

129
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: But you can watch the movie and pick it out.

130
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: It won't be hard to find.

131
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: Anyway.

132
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: Penguins with a good win over the Doubles last night,

133
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: because they're all good when you ain't got sid And

134
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: now Like I said, it's the Rangers tomorrow at the

Speaker 1: with me at Archie's on the South Side. Get them

137
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: Doucne Wings and the Rangers have been a mess all

138
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: season and Sally's first year coach. He left here to

139
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: escape the rebuild, but then the rebuild here accelerated obviously

140
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: in the Rangers now they need to rebuild. Not what

141
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: he bargained for, but he's making so much money, and

142
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's a good roster in New York, even

143
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: after trading pineren Vincent, jt Z, him and a Jads,

144
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: Just Stirkin and Fox just got back from injury, but

145
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: they lost their first game back to Philadelphia in overtime.

146
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm in they gotta burn it down. They gotta burn

147
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: it down. Where that leaves Sully, I do not know,

148
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: but I think they.

149
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: Gotta burn it down. Uh, let's go to Jake. Jake,

150
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,560

00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 4: was great during the Olympics thing with Kenny Albert got

154
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 4: me thinking, who is your favorite broadcast team right now?

155
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 4: Whether that's TNT, or ESPN. And which duo do you like?

156
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: Well?

157
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Kenny Albert Edzo, How could you pick against

158
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: them when when they did such a great job in

159
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: such a big situation. I mean, I like all the

160
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: Penguins announcers. Yeah, I like Nick Olchick, Edzo's kid who

161
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: works for Seattle or is it Utah? I think it's Utah.

162
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: I think he was in Seattle. I get, I get

163
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: mixed up. I think like Seattle in Utah. They're so

164
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: far out west. I never see their teams play and

165
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: I think of them as the same team. But Nicolechick,

166
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: he does a real good job. Uh you know, but yeah,

167
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 1: for me, the gold standard and proven in that game.

168
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 2: Kenny Albert, Eddie Oulchik.

169
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: Who do you like?

170
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 4: Yeah? I love Bob was Shoes in a ESPN and

171
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 4: Buci gross too. They're both oh well.

172
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Boucie obviously, and lev when he does it. It's

173
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: just that I don't think those guys do it enough

174
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: to you. I mean, Bouci's and Levy are so often

175
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: in studio where they're great and honestly as good at

176
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: play by play as Bocie is and Steve too. I

177
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: think they helped the cause of their hockey presentation more

178
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: in studio with analysis and kind of you know, trying

179
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: to steer people like Messia and p K in the

180
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: right direction that they do doing play by play.

181
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 2: What say you, Yeah, definitely.

182
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 4: I mean they're both great personalities, so better to have

183
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 4: them in front of the camera than behind it. So yeah,

184
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 4: I agree.

185
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,520

Speaker 2: Always great to talk to. Josh gets off, Josh.

219
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: Last night was a solid win and maybe as important

220
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: as the result. The Penguins didn't seem rattled with that sid.

221
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 1: They looked very confident and competent.

222
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 5: I would agree double having great to talk to you again.

223
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 5: I mean, I felt like the ingredients that have been

224
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 5: there for this team all year were there again last night.

225
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 5: I mean, the only thing you're missing as your captain,

226
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 5: who obviously is an extremely massive piece that's out of

227
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 5: your lineup. But the special teams played a role. Their

228
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 5: penalty kill was perfect in that game, they get the

229
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 5: power play goal for their first goal of the game,

230
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 5: and they got really good goaltending again from Arthur's sheilofs So,

231
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 5: I think when you look at this Penguin season, those

232
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 5: have been the three biggest reasons that they've had a

233
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 5: lot of success. There's special teams on both ends and

234
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 5: their goaltending, and obviously depth production has helped as well,

235
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 5: which was on display again last night. So a lot

236
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 5: of the same recipe and a lot to like as

237
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 5: far as coming out of the gate and looking as

238
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 5: good as they did.

239
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: You make a great point about the special teams, Josh,

240
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: and I hadn't even thought of that in today's show.

241
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: But Sid doesn't kill penalties, and even though he's a

242
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: been part of the power play, you have enough talent

243
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: where you can, you know, replace him and get by.

244
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 2: And I think that's what we saw last night.

245
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's hard to replace him, Mark, but

246
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 5: I know what you mean, Like, there are other guys

247
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 5: that can potentially jump in and fill slots, And I

248
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 5: was really curious how damn us would do that because

249
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 5: without up Ruster Raquel at certain points this year, and

250
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 5: without Ganny Malkin at sometimes this year, we've seen Anthony

251
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 5: Manta jump up and play a bigger role in the

252
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 5: power play he was up there last night. I still

253
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 5: would like to see Ben Kindall get a little bit

254
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 5: more of a look, and I don't think that that's

255
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 5: an impossible thing to happen here moving forward. But I

256
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 5: really just feel like overall, they've acquired and added so

257
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 5: many guys that are so versatile, and they've also asked

258
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 5: a couple guys to step into roles they've never done before.

259
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 5: And obviously Rust had killed some penalties in the past,

260
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 5: but he's shown a bigger role in that this year.

261
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 5: And Eric Carlson has really stepped up on the kill

262
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 5: as well. And I thought another guy that's getting an

263
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 5: opportunity due to some injuries, Connor Clifton, had an outstanding

264
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 5: game last night. Goal aside, he was noticeable every single

265
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 5: shift he was on the ice and he was also

266
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 5: big on that PK, so it was definitely a team effort.

267
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've been talking about Clifton all day. He's getting

268
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: a lot done out there. And the big story, though,

269
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: I think of the year so far is Chinnakov.

270
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 2: What do you make of him?

271
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: What has made him it explode to that degree since

272
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: arriving in Pittsburgh. He's not just been pretty good, he's

273
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: been just a dominant shooter.

274
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean double them all. Due respect to our

275
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 5: previous fifty nine Jake Denzil, but my little guy has

276
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 5: a Genzil jersey and I put duct tape over it

277
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 5: and Wrotechinikov on the back. So we've totally leaned into

278
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 5: this guy and the success that he's had in Pittsburgh.

279
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 5: Because when I look back at that train, you think

280
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 5: about who they gave up in that deal, and it

281
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 5: was Dan Heinen, a second rounder and a third rounder.

282
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 5: I believe it went to Columbus. You're not getting that

283
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 5: kind of value in what they've gotten for Igor tina

284
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 5: Kov in the return part of it to Pittsburgh. I mean,

285
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 5: the guy is scoring at will, He looks extremely confident,

286
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 5: he's really settled in, and I think, to Dan Mues

287
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 5: and Kyle Dubas's credit, there was a lot of homework

288
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 5: done on this guy and how he would potentially fit

289
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 5: and where he would best fit, as opposed to just saying, yeah,

290
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 5: he's a former first round pick. He once had a

291
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 5: year where he you know, closed in close to twenty goals.

292
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 5: We'll see what we can do. No, they figured that

293
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 5: they could pssibly put him with a Guinny Malkin. They

294
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 5: figured that he would be a nice compliment to Tommy Novak,

295
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 5: and you know, as has been the case for most

296
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 5: things this year, they hit the nail on the head

297
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 5: with their thought and what has actually transpired on the ice.

298
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 5: But I can't say enough about how impressive he's been

299
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 5: and how big of an addition he's been to this team,

300
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 5: because it's been fun to watch. And I think, really,

301
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, you hesitate to use the word

302
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 5: catalyst for a guy who's been here three months, but seriously,

303
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 5: when you think about the production and the results since

304
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 5: he's come on board, he has been a catalyst for

305
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 5: the Penguins.

306
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 2: No, he definitely is a catalyst.

307
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: And you mentioned Gino, who's a big part of all

308
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: that and he's not going to work at wing.

309
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: How's he doing that?

310
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: Because I don't think center to wing is as difficult

311
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: to switch as wing the center, but there are certain

312
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: nuances and I think he simplified his game in the pursuit.

313
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 5: Well question. I would agree with you. I think that

314
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 5: the transition from center to wing is slightly easier just

315
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 5: based on the way that you play the game and

316
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 5: the responsibilities within every shift. And you don't, yes, you

317
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 5: want to be a two hundred foot player, Yes, you

318
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 5: want to cover your areas of the ice as far

319
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 5: as defending against the other team is concerned. But as

320
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 5: a center, then there's a lot more that goes into

321
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 5: it as far as you know, surveying that area, taking

322
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 5: face off, making sure you know you have proportions in

323
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 5: under control, within possession and stuff like that. But as

324
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 5: a as a winger, I do think you get a

325
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 5: little bit more creativity, and I'm sure you did too, Mark,

326
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 5: Like I wondered if there was going to be a point,

327
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 5: even before the injury to Gino, I wondered if there

328
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 5: would be a point where he would potentially move to

329
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 5: the wing, because I think if we're just being real

330
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 5: and We've seen it here. That's the biggest way he's

331
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 5: going to prolong his career in this league is on

332
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 5: the wing. And and I think that he's put every

333
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 5: foot forward here this season. I mean, all all together,

334
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 5: the production of the consistency has been unbelievable and once

335
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 5: again last night, just absolutely flying out there from the

336
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 5: first shift on. But I do think that that's the

337
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 5: best way they can unlock the you know, what remains

338
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 5: in the tank for a Guinny Malkin, and it's really worked.

339
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 5: And you know you mentioned this in the past, and

340
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 5: I'm know our buddy josh y ohe has talked about

341
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 5: this as well, that Toddy Novak was a guy that

342
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 5: if Getty Malkin really talked to about the Penguins or

343
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 5: I talked to the Penguins about of wanting to play

344
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 5: with this offseason. And Matt, I mean, he saw something

345
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 5: that a lot of us didn't see in the short

346
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 5: sample size we saw last year, because they have been

347
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 5: like bread and butter together this year.

348
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 2: On the flip side, how do Raquel do its center?

349
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 2: Last night? I know it's just one game.

350
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: I didn't see anything bad, but that's a bigger adjustment

351
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 1: because you know, you have a lot more responsibility in

352
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: the neutral and defensive zones.

353
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 5: No question, and I think it's an adjustment. I mean,

354
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 5: he also was playing with a new linemate in Avery Hayes,

355
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 5: also who you know, had his moments of excelling last night,

356
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 5: but also had a couple of brain farts that I

357
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 5: think are normal for a guy in their second NHL game.

358
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 5: But you know, as far as Raquel is concerned, I

359
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 5: give him. I don't want to Sam Mulligan, but I

360
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 5: give him a little bit of a pass. I mean,

361
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 5: he's going toe to toe with Nico Hesher and Jack

362
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 5: Hughes and the face off Dodd in his first game

363
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 5: back in the middle in a while, and he shure

364
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 5: leaves the league in face off wins and Jack Hughes.

365
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 5: I mean, we've no introduction needed based on the last

366
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 5: couple of weeks. So I think that I would say,

367
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 5: you know, a passing grade for him. I didn't think

368
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 5: their line was overly impressive, but it didn't need to be.

369
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 5: And that's been kind of a team for the Penguins

370
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 5: all year that they they haven't necessarily been the same

371
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 5: group in and out every single night. And I would

372
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 5: say that last night was the exact same recipe.

373
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 2: Wasn't that a.

374
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: Great moment before the game with the Olympians, especially Jack Hughes,

375
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: I felt like Pittsburgh really came through.

376
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 5: Like Jack, you said, no question, I mean that was

377
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 5: you were there right.

378
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: Mark, No, No, I was doing a viewing party, but

379
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: you know it came across on TV like you'd.

380
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 5: Think, Yeah, I mean, I'll tell you what. We were

381
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 5: lucky enough, as you know then with watching that, we

382
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 5: weren't necessarily doing anything. We were just covering that on

383
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 5: our broadcast and gave us the opportunity to sit there

384
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 5: and take it all in. And I'll be honest, I

385
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 5: got chills when that was going on because that goal

386
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 5: was awesome. That moment went for USA Hockey was awesome.

387
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 5: And you know one thing about Pittsburgh is they You

388
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 5: could say what you want about how spoiled the fans

389
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 5: have been, but they also appreciate excellence. And I was

390
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 5: really impressed and not really surprised, just really impressed with

391
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 5: how the fans reacted last night and saluted him because

392
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 5: he deserves it, and it was it was really cool

393
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 5: to see just the full top of emotion and the

394
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 5: smile from him too. He looked really appreciative that it

395
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 5: came across in a visiting building.

396
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: No, I think him and his brother, really all the

397
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: guys on that team, but the users in particular Josh,

398
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: I think they're legit and sincere and if hockey smart,

399
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: those two should be the face of hockey, the successors

400
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: to Sydney Crosby.

401
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 5: They have been rising up the ranks I think pretty

402
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 5: rapidly here the last couple of years. I mean, for

403
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 5: my money, when Hughes was Team USA's best player in

404
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 5: the Olympics, and Jack, you know, after what I thought

405
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 5: was kind of a little bit of a down four

406
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 5: Nations last year when he got that opportunity for Best

407
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 5: on Best, came out this year and just looked like

408
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 5: a completely dominant player at times in the Olympics and

409
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 5: drove so much offense for the United States and obviously

410
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 5: cap it all off with the biggest goal of his life.

411
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 5: So I think that you're spot on, and those two

412
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 5: guys are people that are going to be under the

413
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 5: microscope for a lot of reasons within the success that

414
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,479
Speaker 5: they've had. I mean, Quinn obviously being who he is

415
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 5: just in general, and Jack now getting an extra pop

416
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 5: was scoring the golden goal. But there are two of

417
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 5: the elite players in the National Hockey League, and the

418
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 5: only bad news for the Penguins is they're going to

419
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 5: see Jack Hughes for the foreseeable future, you know, four

420
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 5: times a season. But otherwise, I mean, these are two

421
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 5: guys that I think fans can get behind, and I

422
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 5: know my young guys are probably still living it up

423
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 5: and thinking that they are Jack Hughes scoring the golden goal.

424
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: Last Sunday, we're talking to Josh Getzov of Penguins play

425
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: by play here on the Home of the Penguins one

426
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: oh five to nine the X. We got the Rangers

427
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: tomorrow at MSG. Josh, and what's gone wrong there? I

428
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: watch a lot of their games. That roster is better

429
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: than their record. I'm sure Selly expected a lot better

430
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: when he got there.

431
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 5: I would have to think he did. I would think that,

432
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 5: you know, from top to bottom, they probably expected better.

433
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 5: But I don't know, Mark, I mean, you look at it.

434
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 5: I don't want to be the guy who says, oh,

435
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 5: you know, I thought this was possibly gonna happen, But

436
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 5: I just wasn't overly impressed with their team and what

437
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 5: they did this past offseason to make up space on

438
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 5: a team that missed the playoffs last year. I mean,

439
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 5: they they really didn't make any massive, massive splashes except

440
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 5: for behind the bench, and they kind of banked on

441
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 5: Igor Shusturk and just being all world again. And it's

442
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 5: a lot of pressure, and he's obviously dealt with some injury,

443
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 5: and I think, you know, they got off on a

444
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 5: tough foot with the Penguins shutting him out in the

445
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 5: season opener and kind of spoiling the centennial celebration party

446
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 5: out of the gate there in New York. And I

447
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 5: just I don't know, I don't I never really liked

448
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 5: their depths. I thought they're blue line. They've subtracted so

449
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 5: much from it in the last couple of years with Jacobuda,

450
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 5: Andre Miller.

451
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, he Andre Miller. I couldn't believe they traded him,

452
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: and not for very much. What I don't like, Josh,

453
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: And maybe this is what kind of you're getting at.

454
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: I don't like your fit. I think the hole is

455
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: worse than the summer.

456
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 2: The parts.

457
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 5: Definitely. Yeah, No, I think they bank on, you know,

458
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 5: a team that a couple of years ago won the

459
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 5: President's Trophy with a perfect storm, and sometimes that has

460
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 5: to happen. I mean, you could argue the Penguins they're

461
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 5: having a perfect storm this year with what they're being

462
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 5: able to do. But you know, Cryder hovered around fifty goals,

463
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 5: Shasturkin was all world, Adam Fox was right at the

464
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,719
Speaker 5: top of his game. A lot of things went right

465
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 5: for them a couple of years ago, and they kind of,

466
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 5: you know, in those two years where they came close

467
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 5: to getting to the final but didn't quite reach it,

468
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 5: maybe stepped a couple steps ahead of where they should

469
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 5: have been in that quote unquote rebuild that they sent

470
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 5: the letter out about and they jumped the gun a

471
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 5: little bit, and I think as a result, they kind

472
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 5: of fell flat in the last two years and it's

473
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 5: burned them.

474
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: That letter might as well have been a suicide note.

475
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: That was just not the right thing to do. Now,

476
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: the trade deadline is next week on the sixth. What

477
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: would you like to see the Penguins get with within reason,

478
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: like not a guy, but like what need needs filled?

479
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, it's a great question, especially with the certainty

480
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 5: of sid being up in the air, you know, with

481
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 5: when he's going to be back and what the lineup

482
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 5: will look like once he does come back. I still

483
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 5: think it'd be nice to add some depth up front.

484
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 5: I think wingers would be great. I do think they

485
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 5: have a lot of center options. I mean, you know,

486
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 5: Ricardo Roquel is your first line center moving forward. We'll

487
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 5: see how that goes.

488
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's better at wing Josh that wings his spot.

489
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: I'd like to see a depth center if you could,

490
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: If you could, let me get get one guy to

491
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: be a depth center, and then when Sid comes back,

492
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: it's always good to have extra at that spot.

493
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 5: No, no, no doubt, Mark, I agree with you. I

494
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 5: think that it would be nice to get another centerment

495
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 5: I think they're going to be hot commodities. And the

496
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 5: reality is now the pack is separated a little bit

497
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 5: from where it was, you know, a week or two ago,

498
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 5: with it being you know, five or sixteen three points

499
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 5: separated each other. Now you got seven eight points. Teams

500
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 5: are starting to fade a little bit, and I would think,

501
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 5: you know, business is going to be flying here over

502
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 5: the next few days because we're at March hats of

503
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 5: Sunday against Vegas. So I think, you know, depth center

504
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 5: makes a lot of sense. I would like to see

505
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 5: them at another winger. And I don't think you can

506
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 5: ever have too many defensemen as evidence by what we've

507
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 5: seen here in the last what two weeks with guys

508
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 5: getting hurt or you know, two weeks on either side.

509
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 1: I mean, he's making the trip and I like Cowie

510
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: looked last night, but he gets hurt right away.

511
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 5: Right exactly. And he's a smaller guy, and that's the

512
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,959
Speaker 5: risk you run sometimes against, you know, in in in

513
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 5: just the National Hockey League in general, as a defenseman,

514
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 5: if you're smaller, you're going to get beat up. And

515
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 5: some guys. Uh, we'll see how that goes with him,

516
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 5: because he's had a pretty stable career, but he has

517
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 5: dealt with some injuries this year and you know, we'll

518
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 5: see what that is moving forward. But you know, I

519
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 5: always remember Jim and Rutherford saying like, you need what eight, nine,

520
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 5: ten defensemen in your disposal when you getting the Stanley

521
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 5: Cup playoffs, because nothing is for certain games the game.

522
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 5: And you know what Kyle Duvis has done is he

523
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 5: has started to stockpile those guys. I mean, Solovyov's waiting

524
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 5: in the wings. I know the fan base has opinions

525
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 5: on Ryan Graves, but he's still out there as well,

526
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 5: and he's he's you know, on the NHL ropter as

527
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 5: we speak today. So like there are some depth pieces

528
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 5: that have some I guess, ancillary options if things were

529
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 5: to go south with some of the guys they have available.

530
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 5: But I would still like to see the mad you know,

531
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 5: I don't know if proven is the right word, but

532
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 5: a stable defender, yeah back there that can step in

533
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 5: if needed.

534
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: Well, And I like Clifton. I like saying Ivany, who's

535
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: skating again. My worry is and I'm not sure you

536
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: can get a guy to fill in if this happened,

537
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: just like you obviously can't truly replace Sid. I worry

538
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: about and we've had this happen when either La Tang

539
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: or Carlson is out. Because you have got you have

540
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys who can play bottom pair. I

541
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: don't know about top four.

542
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 5: You're right, and especially on the right side. That's that's

543
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 5: the big issue is you know. I think I'm not

544
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 5: trying to say he's got Crystal Tanger or Carlson, but

545
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,239
Speaker 5: I think at times in quick spurts, Ryan Shea has

546
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 5: really stepped up this year. We know Sammy Gerard can

547
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 5: do that if he's if he's asked to, but you're

548
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 5: right on the right side. Especially, you just don't have

549
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 5: a guy that can play that kind of a role

550
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 5: in your line up, and that's I don't know if

551
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 5: there's there's a player that they can mimic that in

552
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 5: a depth role for the Penguins, But I don't think

553
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 5: it's a bad thing to try to add bodies behind

554
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 5: them just to protect against you know, the possibility and

555
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 5: the reality that that things could change quickly. With those

556
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 5: two guys, I mean, they've been lucky for the most part.

557
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 5: I know the Tank's coming off the injury, but those

558
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 5: two have been healthy all year knock on woods, so

559
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 5: hopefully that can continue. I mean, they missed a handful

560
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 5: of games here and there, but they've been huge, both

561
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 5: of them and Carlson. I mean, especially this year. This

562
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 5: has been as impressive as he's looked as a Tanguin.

563
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 5: And that's not even debatable. I think with the three

564
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 5: years he's been in Pittsburgh.

565
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 2: No question.

566
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: If carl keeps that up, they're they're in pretty good shape.

567
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: And that's that's one thing I wanted to mention before

568
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: we wrap. I don't want Carlson and Latang to feel

569
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: they have to play hero ball, but they are gonna

570
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 1: have the puck on their stick more with that sit out,

571
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: and they need to make the most of it. I

572
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: don't know about production, but just you know, make the

573
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: right play all the time.

574
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 5: Definitely, Yeah, you just just play smart, play within yourself.

575
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 5: And I think, you know, they've talked a lot about

576
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 5: the fact that they've had a little bit longer of

577
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 5: a leash with this coaching staff and been able to

578
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 5: you know, move past mistakes and whatnot. But I think

579
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 5: truly a lot of it comes from the situation will play.

580
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 5: Like Eric Carlson seems like he's wired a little bit

581
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 5: differently this year, and I really believe a lot of

582
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 5: that has to do with the fact that he's taking

583
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 5: a huge role on on the penalty kill as I mentioned.

584
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 5: And Chris Latang, you know, he had a really rocky

585
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 5: star as you remember Mark, but as the season's gone along,

586
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 5: he's really stabilized and been a lot better. And I agree,

587
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 5: I think those two are going to be huge. But

588
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 5: the nice thing with them is you got Parker Watherspoon

589
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 5: alongside Carlson's having a career year for a lot of

590
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 5: this year. You've had Ryan Shay along Chris Latang and

591
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 5: then it was Brett Koulak and now it's Sam Gerard.

592
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 5: So you have partners with these guys that are pretty

593
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 5: good yin to their yang and stabilizers, and I think

594
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 5: that's really helped them. I mean, that's that's they've again

595
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 5: like dam Muse and Kyle Dubis, They've put players out

596
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 5: there and put combinations together that have you know, been

597
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 5: home runs left and right, and full marks to them

598
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 5: because it's been it's been a pretty impressive run what

599
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 5: they've been doing this year with this group.

600
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: I think the Penguins could hold onto a playoff spot, Josh.

601
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: But I think the key is going to be they

602
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: need to still be in one when Sid gets back.

603
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: They can't let the cushion totally disappear.

604
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 5: No question. I mean, I think they put themselves in

605
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 5: a situation mark where I don't want to say they

606
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 5: can afford to lose a few games, but you've given

607
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 5: yourself a little breathing room, and that's that's what you

608
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 5: could hope for. It's not a lot, and you don't

609
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 5: want to necessarily put it to test, but you've given

610
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 5: yourself a little bit of leeway where if there is

611
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 5: a little bit of a slide here in this month

612
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 5: of March, which I think is only to be expected.

613
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 5: I mean, it's nineteen games in thirty four days as

614
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 5: of last night, so it's just it's just busy season

615
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 5: and every team's going through it. But you know, when

616
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 5: you figure that so many of those nineteen games potentially

617
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 5: are going to be without sid it does become a

618
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 5: little bit more magnified. But I really believe that what

619
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 5: we saw last night is not really a serious change

620
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 5: from how they've played this year, you know, minus the

621
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 5: obvious who wasn't in the lineup. So I think it's

622
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 5: sustainable for them to play that way. And do I

623
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 5: think they're going to go nineteen and oh no, But

624
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 5: I think they're going to be, you know, very much

625
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 5: in a position to get their way into the postseason

626
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 5: when Sidney Crossey gets back. I really do believe that.

670
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: an Olympic gold medalist. A shout out to Vince's parents

671
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: to a Vince senior and what's his mom's.

672
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 2: Name, Rita. I think I met them years and years ago,

673
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:16,800

674
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: Vince's dad is tremendous and the only people who can

675
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: be happier than a Vince Trochik winning a gold medal

676
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: would be his family, like his mom and dad and

677
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: his wife and children.

678
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 2: So it was great that Vince on today.

679
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: And I am going to see that gold medal this

680
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: summer for sure, but I won't put it on.

681
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 2: I asked that question before the break.

682
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: If you got a chance to wear an Olympic gold medal,

683
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: would you I don't think I would. I'd pose for

684
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: a picture with it, and I don't blame anybody who

685
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: does put it on at all, but I just wouldn't

686
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: because I didn't win it. And I've had a chance

687
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: to lift the Stanley Cup over my head and I

688
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: just don't because A it's heavier than I thought and

689
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: I'm not very strong.

690
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 2: But I didn't win it. Sid and Mario won it.

691
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 2: That's their job.

692
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: I posed for pictures with it, as you've seen on

693
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: my Twitter, but never lifted it. I did drink champagne

694
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: from it back when I think it was ninety two.

695
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: Kenny Rakott brought it to a bar I was at.

696
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: Didn't even know Kenny be on the rink back then,

697
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: but h and we're friends now. But I did drink

698
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: from the cup back then. And uh like the Champions

699
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: League trophy I had in a Premier League trophy, I've

700
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: had a chance to lift those at Liverpool for a picture,

701
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: but I just posed with it because you know, Steven Gerrard,

702
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: Jordan Henderson, Virgil Van Dyke, That's who won those, That's

703
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: the captain they lifted. I just looked and I pose

704
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: and I'm happy. So your thoughts on any or all

705
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: of that, and I'm not criticizing those who do. I

706
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: think it's great, but it's just not for me. A

707
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: three three four one two WXDX the number to call.

713
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,920

714
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 3: They do, Oh dude, they really I didn't know that.

715

Speaker 2: I just didn't know that they.

716
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: Just never qualify because the country's the size of it.

717
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 1: It's an island, right, yeah. Yeah, and it's like a

718
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 1: postage stamps. So but they do have a team for sure.

719
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's pretty cool. And yeah, so they have

720
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 3: a couple of teams. Actually, we go over and I

00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:39,240
Speaker 2: Let's go to a talkback.

742
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 5: Hey, Mark, I was wondering if you've been to the

743
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 5: Punk Rock Museum out in Las Vegas that was partly

744
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 5: started by Fat Mike from No Effects.

745
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I might go on this next trip. I it's

746
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: relatively new. It opened like within the last couple of years, right,

747
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: so I haven't had a chance to see it. I

748
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: saw the Mom Museum out there, but I'm gonna go

749
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: to the Punk Museum. I'm planning to do that this

750
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: next trip, which is for the Penguin game in a.

751
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 2: Couple of weeks. Let's go to Cosmo. Cosmo, you're on

752
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 2: with double m what.

753
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 4: Ah Yeah? So I got a couple ideas who we

754
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 4: should target for the deadline.

755
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: Uh.

756
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 5: I like Boon Jenner.

757
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not going to get him.

758
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 4: Uh.

759
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 5: I wanted Beukstead.

760
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: What the guy used to play here? Why would they

761
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: get a guy who failed here the last time?

762
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 5: You second time to charm was hurt all.

763
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: The time here too, although you know, to be fair,

764
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: now wasn't then? I mean he he can play center, right,

765
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 1: I mean I would like to get a depth forward.

766
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 2: Jenner is strictly a wing.

767
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: I think that that they would want too much in return,

768
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,240
Speaker 1: and and just thinking out a lot, why would Columbus

769
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: trade Boone Jenner? They're in the playoff hunt very legitimately so.

770
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 4: Well, I've heard rumor that he's on the block. I mean,

771
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 4: we're in a better place than they are, that's true,

772
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 4: not that.

773
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: Much better, and they might they might sense opportunity with

774
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: Crosby ot for for the next month. So I mean

775
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: that's the problem with trying to figure out who they

776
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: should get brov unless you make a hockey player for player,

777
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: because almost every team still in it, you know, like

778
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: an Eastern Conference. Really only the Rangers Devils in Philadelphia

779
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: aren't in it, and you could even talk yourself into

780
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: thinking they were in it, except I don't think. Well,

781
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: Philly beat New York last night, but the Devils have

782
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: lost two straights, so so oh, they're not gonna give

783
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: what it takes to get Vincenzo. And I think he's

784
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: gonna go to uh, Denver or Minneapolis.

785
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 2: That that's what I think is gonna happen with him.

786
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 2: And let me tell you.

787
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,919
Speaker 1: Either of those teams adds him. I mean they're both

788
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: close to Stanley Cup. Now he could put them over

789
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: the top. Thank you for the call. Wouldn't that be

790
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: great if later in the spring we had on Vince

791
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 1: Trocheck Stanley Cup champion. I'd want to see the Stanley

792
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: Cup two. I'd want to two for one deal Cup

793
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: and gold medal.

794
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 2: Let's go to a.

795
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 5: Talkback, heyblem, what is the best Will Ferrell movie of

796
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 5: all time? And if you say anything other than Step Brothers,

797
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 5: you're wrong.

798
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: It's semi pro and you're wrong. Semi pro by far.

799
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: Step Brothers is second. And I think the amount of

800
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 1: truly funny Will Ferrell movies are rather minimal. Old School,

801
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: which was an ensemble cast. He was great in a

802
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: cameo in Wedding Crashers. I think he's better very often

803
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: in his smaller roles those cameos than he is when

804
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: he has to carry the movie. And he hasn't been

805
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: funny in years. And if you disagree with me on.

806
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 2: That, you're wrong.

807
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: Would you wear a gold medal that you didn't win

808
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: for a photo, I wouldn't. Don't blame those who do.

809
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,240
Speaker 1: What do you think eight three three four one two WXDX.

810
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: Don't forget about Archie's one watching the Penguins game tomorrow

811
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: twelve thirty.

812
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 2: That's Archie's on the south side.

813
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 1: And I just want to say Sunday the first would

814
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 1: have been the ninety first birthday and my mother peg

815
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,479
Speaker 1: and Madden, great mother, great speech and debate teacher, great

816
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: English teacher, great everything made me what I am today

817
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: and I miss.

818
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 2: Her every day.

819
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 1: And had a bouquet sent to her grave from Westview Floral,

820
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,280
Speaker 1: who do great work. Pink and purple. That's what she loved,

821
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: which she could see it. Maybe she does. I'm not

822
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: sure what I believe in that regard, but maybe she does.

823
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:40,280
Speaker 1: And I just realized it's going to be twenty years since.

824
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 2: She passed.

825
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: This spring, and that's boy, it just the days are long,

826
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,919
Speaker 1: but the years fly by when you get a little

827
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: bit older.

828
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 2: I'm sixty five.

829
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: I always hope to make it to her age seventy one,

830
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: and then anything after that is a bonus.

831
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 2: So happy birthday.

832
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: I hate that happy heavenly birthday thing, but but my

833
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: Mom would have been ninety one on Monday and on Sunday,

834
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: and I miss her. You screwed up, you said Monday,

835
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: it's Sunday. No, she didn't have a screechy voice like that,

836
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: as far as you know. One oh five ninety x
