1 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: My guess right now is a three time Stanley Cup champion, 2 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: a six time international gold medalist, has had a point 3 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: per game for a record twenty straight seasons, and right now, 4 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: most important, his team is one and zero. There is 5 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: only one world, There is only one world's best hockey player. 6 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: There is only one Sidney Crosby. So you win three 7 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: nothing you want to know? And it was pretty concise 8 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: and buttoned up last night. What was good about that win? 9 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 2: Sid? 10 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 3: I think we were just I thought we were pretty organized. 11 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 3: You know, coming off of training camp and playing your 12 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 3: first game, you expected to be a little choppy, but 13 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 3: I thought, you know, our structure was pretty good in 14 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 3: all three zones and you know, everybody contributed every line. 15 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 3: I thought cherry play at certain points, came up with 16 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 3: some big defensive plays when we needed them, and goaltending 17 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 3: was really solid. So I just thought it was just 18 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 3: a solid effort all the way through. 19 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: What's it like for you in your twenty first season 20 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: to have all those kids in the room you sit 21 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: between Kindle and cloyvenin. 22 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 4: What's that do for your energy? Because you were that 23 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 4: kid once? 24 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it helps. I mean, you know, you 25 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 3: see how hungry those guys are and you know that. Yeah, 26 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 3: I think that youth energy is important. You know, the 27 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 3: competition for spots. I think that's something that can help 28 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 3: and push a group. But yeah, I think yeah, as 29 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 3: a young guy in that position, I remember wanting to 30 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 3: bring that and you can see that that's something that 31 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 3: naturally that they have though too, just because there is 32 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 3: a lot that's new, They're hungry and they want to 33 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 3: prove themselves, so that can definitely help the team. 34 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: How do the kids treat you? Like in the room? 35 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: Do they treat you like you're made of glass? Are 36 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: they over that? 37 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 3: Uh? It depends. I think that the more you get 38 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 3: to know them, the better I think the more it's 39 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 3: like like any teammate, you know, whether they're younger or 40 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 3: it's a new teammate, I think, Uh, you know, it 41 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 3: always takes a little bit to build that comfort level. 42 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 3: And when you've played with guys for a really long time, 43 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 3: that's why it's it's Uh, it's something that is so 44 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 3: unique because you build that over time. You have that 45 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 3: trust and belief and and that comfort level. So that's 46 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 3: something that just comes with time, I think. But yeah, 47 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 3: there's always a bit of a feeling no process there. 48 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: Hoven and do on your wing last night. I feel 49 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: like he has a little bit of Jake potential. 50 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, he sees the ice really well. He can make 51 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 3: little plays given goes. He had a great chance there 52 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 3: in the second he made a nice play on the 53 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 3: goalie and just hit the post. He's come really close 54 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 3: a bunch of times, so I would expect him to 55 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 3: put one in here pretty soon. He's been all around 56 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 3: it and and like you said, he's got really good 57 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 3: hockey sense, and that was something that that gainst Kansas, 58 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 3: you know, he was so so smart and not the 59 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 3: biggest guy, but goes to tough areas and a lot 60 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 3: of similarities there. 61 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: Does Clevenan watch the iPad with you between shifts? I 62 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: wish I could get downe there, I'd watch the iPad. 63 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. I try to stay away from the iPad as 64 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 3: much as possible that the odd time will take a 65 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 3: peek at it and try to go over things, try 66 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 3: to fast track that learning curve. But for the most part, 67 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 3: you know, playing with them last year and a little 68 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 3: bit through camp that helps too. So it's been pretty good. 69 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: What about Bruni and Kindle, I can't believe watched them 70 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: last night and in camp that they're nineteen and eighteen. 71 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean just the poise that they both have. 72 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 3: They skate really well. I think that's probably the biggest 73 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 3: thing that allows them just to make plays and probably 74 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 3: to be confident and comfortable just with the speed just 75 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 3: because of their own skating ability and just buys them 76 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 3: that extra second to make plays and gets them out 77 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 3: of trouble. You know, Bruno skateing himself out of trouble 78 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 3: a couple of times. He made some really good, good 79 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 3: plays in the offensive zone. You know. I thought Kenny 80 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 3: was really good as the game went on to even 81 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 3: just taking pucks of the net and being more assertive. 82 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 3: And he played, you know, a bunch of preseason games too, 83 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 3: so I think that that probably helps with his confidence. 84 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 3: But you know, they had a really good camp and 85 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 3: just kind of kept it going into the last night's game. 86 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: Now, you didn't have a point last night, and I'm 87 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: sure you're not panicked about that, but your two hundred 88 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: foot game was very evident, like always. Is that the 89 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: toughest thing to maintain after twenty seasons to play the 90 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: whole rink all the time. 91 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 3: I don't know. I think you realized over time that 92 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 3: you know, playing good defensively will eventually lead to offense. 93 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 3: So some nights it might not feel like that, but 94 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 3: I think you know, the goal is to get out 95 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 3: of your own zone as quick as possible and create offense. 96 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 3: So if you're defensively, hopefully that that leads to either 97 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 3: quick odd man rushas or gets you out of there 98 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 3: quick and can use your energy trying to trying to 99 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 3: score goals and try to defend them. But yeah, I 100 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 3: think just you know, trying to focus on especially as 101 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 3: a centerman, that's that's part of your responsibility. So it's 102 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 3: not something you really try to get away from. It's 103 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 3: it's part of the game, and it's part of something 104 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 3: that you know, I've tried to do, you know, for 105 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 3: a long time. So I don't think I don't think 106 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 3: it's any harder. I think you just it's just something 107 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 3: that you really have to continue to tingrain the details 108 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 3: and make sure that you know you're stopping on pucks 109 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 3: and in the right spots and then hopefully that leads 110 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 3: offense as well. 111 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: Short short term answer here, but what's it been like 112 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: playing for Dan Mues, your first new head coach? 113 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 4: In almost ten years. 114 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 3: It's been good. You know, he's really passionate. I thought, uh, 115 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 3: during camp, it was really organized as far as what 116 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 3: we wanted to go over, and you know, trying to 117 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 3: hit so much, it's not easy. It seems like a 118 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 3: long time, but it's really not with so many, so 119 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 3: many players, and you have all those preseason games with 120 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 3: different lineups, so it's not easy, you know, trying to 121 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 3: get everyone on the same page necessarily, and and go 122 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 3: through all that in a short period of time. And 123 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 3: I thought he did a really good job with that. 124 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 3: I thought there's a lot of competition and and the 125 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 3: skates were good. So it carried over into Game one 126 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 3: and hopefully we can just keep getting better with each game. 127 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 3: But he's been he's been really good. 128 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 4: Do you really hate change like I think you do? 129 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 4: Or do I overthink that. 130 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 3: No, I don't think I hate change. I think like 131 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 3: you have to evolve. I mean, you have to be 132 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 3: able to just and adapt. And I would say like change, 133 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 3: just a change probably bothers me sometimes I think that, 134 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 3: you know, there's there's got to be purpose for it. 135 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 3: But yeah, I think that it just it really depends on. 136 00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 2: What it is. 137 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 3: But I wouldn't say I'm against it. I think it's 138 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 3: just it's just more about you know, making sure that 139 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 3: there's a purpose and and you know, if it's not broke, 140 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 3: don't fix it. But you've got to evolve and you've 141 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 3: got to adapt. So that's that's part of the two. 142 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: We're talking to Sydney Cosby here on the X. This 143 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: is season number twenty together for you, Gino and Tanger, 144 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: which is unheard of in modern sports. 145 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 4: What makes that special? 146 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 3: Oh, so many things. I mean just I think the 147 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 3: time itself, that's a that's a long time, and you 148 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 3: know nowadays, with so much movement and turnover, it's it's 149 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 3: so rare. So I think just the time itself, but 150 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 3: also what makes up that twenty years. I mean, we've 151 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 3: been in so many different circumstances, you know, as a 152 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 3: team individually, we've we've been through a lot. And you 153 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 3: know that's that's been you know, one consistency through it 154 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 3: all is just being teammates and being there for each 155 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 3: other and being able to experience so many things. So that's, uh, 156 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 3: you know, that's a pretty cool thing to be a 157 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 3: part of. 158 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: It was also special when Mark Andre Fourry came back 159 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: for the curtain call in that exhibition game, wasn't it? 160 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: And I bet as far as you guys are concerned, 161 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: we didn't see the best stuff. 162 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't know, you probably saw most 163 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 3: of it. It's hard. It's hard now everything you know, 164 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 3: they get everything now. But I just thought it was 165 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 3: so nice. You know, I played in at the Worlds 166 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 3: and we lost to Denmark, and I thought that was 167 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 3: going to be his last game, so to speak. And 168 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 3: you know, for him to be able to come to Pittsburgh, 169 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 3: have a couple of days, you know, really you know, 170 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 3: soak it in and then have the response and the 171 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 3: ovation from the crowd and the turnout there that was 172 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 3: that was so special. Really the the perfect way to 173 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 3: be able to draw it up. So he's really happy 174 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 3: with the way that everything worked out and just just 175 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 3: really happy for him. He deserves it and it couldn't 176 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 3: have really been any better. So it was really cool 177 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 3: that we could be we could be a part of 178 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 3: that too. 179 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: Now on the negative side, he vandalized your car. I mean, 180 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: if you fix that, taking the decal off the twenty. 181 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 3: Nine Yeah, yeah, it took me a bit. That was 182 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 3: actually I think he took it easy on us. 183 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 4: I thought that too. 184 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 3: Actually, I've seen some of his work. Oh yeah, some 185 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 3: of his work, so I think he took it easy, honest. 186 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 3: But I will say he didn't have a lot of 187 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 3: time to scheme up stuff. So you know that was 188 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 3: that was well done by him. But it will it 189 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 3: will continue, so we'll see how it goes. 190 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: Now, one are your goals now, and let me cut 191 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: you off. I know you're going to say to win, 192 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: and it's true. I believe you, I know you, but 193 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: come on, passing Mario stats maybe two thousand points sid, 194 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: they're going to give you a statue. 195 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 4: You've got to think about some of that stuff. 196 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 3: No, I don't. Actually, I'm being honest with you. That's 197 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 3: that's not even on my mind. Yeah, I just you know, 198 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 3: I love to play, I think even at this I 199 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 3: love to learn. I love to to compete and get better, 200 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 3: So I don't I don't think too much long term. 201 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 3: I like to kind of stay in the present. And 202 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 3: uh yeah, I mean I'm aware of Mario's numbers, but 203 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 3: that's not I don't think that's what's motivating me every day. 204 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 3: So yeah, hopefully, you know, hopefully to that point. But yeah, 205 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 3: I try not to think too far ahead. That's just 206 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 3: always the way I've approached it. 207 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: We know, one thing that motivates you, you want to 208 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: win a gold medal for Canada at the Milan Olympics 209 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: coming up. I imagine that's made even more fun by 210 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: Canada's young guys because I forget who said it, but 211 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 1: they were all fans of you growing up. 212 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a really it's a really cool group. I mean, 213 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 3: we've got a few guys who have been there. You know, 214 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 3: Drew Dowdy was there in Vancouver, so it was you know, 215 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 3: there's a wide range, and with missing a couple, I 216 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 3: think just the hunger to want to be in it, 217 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 3: just the excitement enthusiasm around it is probably at an 218 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 3: all time high because the fact that we we missed 219 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 3: a couple and then you look at four Nations and 220 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 3: how that ended up, and just the level of play 221 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 3: and and just the brand of hockey and the intensity 222 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 3: that that was there. I think that that everyone even 223 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 3: more excited. So it's just kind of it's grown and 224 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 3: and I think with it getting closer and closer, just 225 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 3: the level of hockey and representing your country and everything 226 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 3: that comes with the Olympics itself. Yeah, I just think 227 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 3: it's amazing hockey and everybody just gets really excited for it. 228 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,839 Speaker 1: Is it different too, because I'm not saying you guys 229 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: are the underdog, but I feel like you in the 230 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: in the US are neck and neck. 231 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you could throw some other teams in 232 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 3: there too. I just think the countries are so close now, 233 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 3: and in one game anything can happen. So definitely, you 234 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 3: know with four nations and how close those games were 235 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 3: and how that went. Yeah, you look at international hockey. 236 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 3: You know, we we lost in the quarters at the 237 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 3: World's but it's, uh, it's become everyone's become so much 238 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 3: closer and and in one game, who knows. So I 239 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 3: think that, you know, everybody's got to be at their best. 240 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 3: And you look at the teams, they're all they're all 241 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 3: so skilled and and deep. So that's that's what makes 242 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 3: it so special though. It's just seeing that amount of 243 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 3: talent and uh, and the product that's on the ice 244 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 3: is is as good as you're going to see? 245 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: How far away are the Penguins from being as good 246 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: as you want? Are you encouraged by the direction? 247 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,599 Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean, you know, like I said, individually. I 248 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 3: don't look too far ahead as a team. I think 249 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 3: you're just looking to try to try to continue to 250 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 3: get better and and uh, you know, we we go 251 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 3: to every night to try to win games. But you know, 252 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 3: as as you're seeing, there's some younger players, So I 253 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 3: think there's guys that are trying to prove that they're 254 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 3: you know, their NHL players. You know, every single day, 255 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 3: they're trying to prove that they belong. And I think 256 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 3: that's that's healthy. I think, you know, coming off of 257 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 3: a really good preseason, I think that built some confidence 258 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 3: as far as the trajector trajectory, though I don't I 259 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 3: don't know. I mean, I think there's a lot of 260 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 3: teams probably asking themselves the same question. I don't think that, 261 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 3: uh you know, we're the only ones, but it's hard 262 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 3: to forecast. I think you just you try to get better, 263 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 3: You try to learn, and and try to accelerate that 264 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 3: that learning curve as best you can. But hopefully the 265 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 3: mix of having guys who have been there for a 266 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 3: long time and and can you know, bring some experience 267 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 3: and and add that way, and then some youthful some 268 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 3: youthful energy, some some young some young guys who are 269 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 3: eager and want to learn, and and I want to 270 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 3: show that they belong. Hopefully that combination is something that 271 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 3: that can help us along. 272 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: I know you hate the trade talk, and we both 273 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: know that the best way to shut it down is 274 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: for you guys to win. 275 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 4: Don't you feel that way? 276 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 3: It's a yeah, you're right, I mean yeah, winning just 277 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 3: just has a way of curing curing all. So yeah, 278 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 3: there's nothing more than I'd love is just to you know, 279 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 3: to keep keep getting wins and not have to worry 280 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 3: about even you know, going into that discussion. 281 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: You know you've become a really good interview.

Does any 318 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: of that class reflect on me? I'd like to think so, 319 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: but probably not. And I remember Bell clear.

My friend for 322 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: years d Rizzo, who uh works for Pat Persona and 323 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: JP Barry. He recruits young players and their families and 324 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: then kind of serves as an aid de camp to 325 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: them once they get to the league. Well, Riz is 326 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: Sid's god and he recruited Sid. He's known him since 327 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: he was like I think fourteen or fifteen. And when 328 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: Sid came to town for the first time, Riz picked 329 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: him up at the airports and brought him straight to 330 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: the Steel had to come on my show even before 331 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: they went to the Penguin's offices.

And 335 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: here we are, all those years later, still doing interviews 336 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: and it's still a lot of fun. 337 00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 4: Eight three, three, four one two w XDX give. 338 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: It a call nowt We got bugsy malone in just 339 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: a few minutes. 340 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 4: A couple of quick football notes. 341 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: The word out of Cleveland is that despite Joe Flacco 342 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: being traded, that they're gonna make Bailey Zappi the journeyman guy, 343 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: the number two quarterback for the game of Pittsburgh Sunday 344 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 1: and Shadoor still inactive, well you know, number three quarterback, 345 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: that sort of thing. I can't imagine that Mom and 346 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 1: pop and Ma and pas. 347 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 4: Shador are gonna take that silently. 348 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: And I can't believe the owner would want that, because 349 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: he wants Shador on the field. 350 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 4: He's the guy that drafted him. 351 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: Also, the word is said Flacco is learning the offense 352 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: in the car they sent to pick him up at 353 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: the airport at Cincinnati whenever. That was the day he 354 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: got traded, and he's going to start against Green Bay. 355 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: Gonna throw him right in there. So Jake Browning, thanks 356 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: for stopping by. And here's a great comparison for that 357 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 1: really bad situation at North Carolina with Bill Belichick coaching 358 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: where where Finebaum said he's the worst coach in college 359 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: history right now and should be fired right now. And 360 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: as I mentioned earlier, I don't think that's an exaggeration. 361 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: I absolutely agree. Albert Briers Sports Illustrated said that Belichick 362 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: at North Carolina reminds him of Urban Meyer in the 363 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: NFL with Jacksonville. 364 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 4: Yikes. 365 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: I got to tell you right now about the bet 366 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 1: Parks online casino in sports book cap because with bet 367 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 1: Parks there's always another way to win.

I mean, I'm trying to think off 426 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 11: the top of my head. I don't know how many 427 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 11: odd Man rushes they gave up defensively. You had the 428 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 11: mix the young guys playing, even at the end of 429 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 11: the game, there, you know, the coach showing trust and 430 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 11: those guys I've had Jones even the defenseman had a 431 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 11: great few shifts at the end there blocking shotsk and shoelings, 432 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 11: and offensively you have Neo Malkins line. Really you know, 433 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 11: I think dictating the pace with her their body size, 434 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 11: winning their battles, you know, Manta, that's not with his 435 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 11: hockey IQ, you know, giving the opportunity of these guys 436 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 11: have playing with obviously you know the veteran leaders there 437 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 11: with Gino and Sid, it's a great mix that you know, 438 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 11: really you have to really tit the hat to the 439 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 11: brass and the coaching staff there for putting that team 440 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 11: together and playing that way so early in the semeone. 441 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, I like how they look. Certainly for sixty minutes. 442 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: What's it like for the veterans, they have so many 443 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: kids in the room. That energy drips down, doesn't it. 444 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 11: Oh, definitely, I think. I mean again, I think those 445 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,239 Speaker 11: guys enjoy it every day and that's why they got 446 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 11: two decades of experience. So when you bring that youth 447 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 11: in there, especially the eighteen year old as we all know, 448 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 11: to be able to play in those games, they have 449 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 11: that opportunity is great, So I think again it's a 450 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 11: good mix. Even the fourth line, a lot of the 451 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 11: guys are back the Lazatte you know, guys start on 452 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 11: and bought the chari guys hard to play against. And 453 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 11: I thought, up and down the lineup, it was a 454 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 11: real balance attack. Everyone kind of did their job. Was 455 00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 11: really fun game to watch. 456 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: What did you make a Geno playing between the two 457 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: six foot five wings man fur And and Brawsers, all 458 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: of them six foot five. It's a huge line. It's 459 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: a different look. Maybe it works. 460 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 11: Yeah, I know. I mean when I was, you know, 461 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 11: fortunate to play with him, it's great for for me. 462 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 11: It was kind of give him the pocke. He likes 463 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 11: to be very creative and create space and our our 464 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 11: you know, the wingers job is just to kind of 465 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 11: make sure he has more time to make good decisions 466 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 11: and plays. And I think both those guys showed uh 467 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 11: that hockey iq to get open and you know, Gino's 468 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 11: gonna find you and they can use that big body 469 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 11: just to get on the right side of defenceman and 470 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 11: they're gonna be able to hold on to pucks and 471 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,719 Speaker 11: generate a lot of offense when they're working together like that. 472 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 11: It was really uh exciting to watch. 473 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: Now, Sid didn't have a point, but I thought his 474 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 1: two hundred foot game was absolutely incredible. I always say, Bugsy, 475 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: when you can see a guy play well off the 476 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 1: puck on network team, which is a limited feed, he's 477 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: really done a job. And him still playing that way 478 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: after twenty seasons, that's incredible. 479 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 4: He never stops, no, And. 480 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 11: That's where I mean, I don't know, there's probably not 481 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 11: enough words. We always keep coming up with fidth and 482 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 11: how impressive he is, but again, this is just his 483 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 11: character to play the right way, especially at the end 484 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 11: of the game there in the third you know, there 485 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 11: wasn't taking any unnecessary risks or getting on the offensive 486 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 11: side of the pucker, cheating just to get points. You know, 487 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 11: he's on the d side of the buck. He's like, Hey, 488 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 11: if we have to win one nothing, we're gonna win. 489 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 11: And I know everybody's writting them off already this year, 490 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 11: so you know that's a little extra fire in him 491 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 11: as well to get this team in the playoffs. And 492 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 11: you know we all know knowing what happens in there, 493 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 11: so even stills still ovs am I saying that right 494 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 11: the goalie. Yes, ah, did Drake on his all his shots? 495 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 11: And again there wasn't that too many grade eight chances, 496 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 11: which is a compliment to that everyone in front of him. 497 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 4: You made a great point. 498 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: I don't remember one clear cut what I call a 499 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,199 Speaker 1: long odd man break where they just you know, had 500 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: a three on two that lasted for miles and uh, 501 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 1: you got to get a shill off's credit though twenty 502 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: five saves got to zero. Were you surprised, Bugsy that 503 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: he started ahead of Jari? Was that the new coach 504 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: maybe sending a message, not the Jari but to the 505 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:22,959 Speaker 1: room that there's change afoot. 506 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't think, you know, I think you know, 507 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 11: both goalies have been great out but I think he was, 508 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 11: you know, battle tested in the American League there they 509 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 11: won down there, so once you know, pressure is on 510 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 11: the line, he's performed. And I think the whole coaching staff, 511 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 11: you know, coming in this year is kind of whole 512 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 11: fresh news start and culture buying mentality. And again, I 513 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 11: think you know what we both just said there we 514 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 11: didn't see too many odd man or grade eight chances 515 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 11: were last year at the be in the year, you're like, Okay, 516 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 11: the guys still kind of playing summer hockey, still giving 517 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 11: up a lot of chances they'll get into it, but 518 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 11: you know, I think they're definitely more focused, and I 519 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 11: think that's where you got to set the half of 520 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,719 Speaker 11: the coaching staff and the leadership in the room. Now. 521 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: I want to get back to a few of the 522 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: young guys, specifically Bugsy, what did you think of brunic 523 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: Kindle and Cloyven with two of them playing their first 524 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: NHL games, which is quite an emotional situation. 525 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, I think you just kind of get 526 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 11: out there and do your best right, and that's where 527 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 11: sometimes you think you got to do more than what 528 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 11: you're even capable of. But at the end of the day, 529 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 11: you just look yourself in the mirror and you realize, 530 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 11: like that confidence in the game style that you've played 531 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 11: got you in the lineup starting, you know, in Madison 532 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 11: Square Gardens. So to be able to play your first 533 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 11: NHL game, your dream is coming true. Now you can really, 534 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 11: you know, grow and work on those little intangibles that 535 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 11: will help you contribute to the team. 536 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 1: When you first started, what was the toughest adjustment for you? 537 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: Everybody says the speed, and I'm sure that's true. Go 538 00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: beyond that. 539 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 11: I would say speed, just the strength of all the players. 540 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 11: You know, there's not many you're playing against grilling men, 541 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 11: and you know those men are trying to feed their 542 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 11: families at the end of the day. Uh, so they're 543 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 11: going to run you over. They're gonna run you over. 544 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 11: And uh, I think that was the big thing, the 545 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 11: speed and strength of everyone. I know as a younger, 546 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 11: you know, players still developing, it is important to get 547 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 11: in that uh you know, weight room when you can, 548 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 11: and that's where sometimes you see those guys, usually out 549 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 11: of college, are a little more developed and have that 550 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 11: easier opportunity to make that shift. But again, I think 551 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 11: it's that strength and speed of you know, your opponents 552 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 11: that you're playing against. There's no uh, there's no easy, 553 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 11: easy uh one on one battles out there. 554 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: We're talking to Buggsy Malone here on the X. Going 555 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: kind of off script here. Did you see mc kenna 556 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 1: play at all for Penn State. I think he made 557 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: so the right decision, uh, going from major junior to 558 00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: college hockey. And I think you could have tested that 559 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: because you played at Saint Clatt's State. 560 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 11: Uh. Yeah, First of all, you ever on script. 561 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 4: That's a good point. It's a good point. You got 562 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 4: me there, Bugsy. 563 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 11: But yeah, I think it's great. It's great for state again. 564 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 11: You know, the Western PA hockey is growing and it's 565 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 11: just highlighting a called hockey new for players development. Like 566 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 11: I said, that schedule and call, you do have more 567 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 11: time to get in the gym and get stronger. That 568 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 11: was a big bonus for myself in four years at 569 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:36,919 Speaker 11: Saint Cloud compared to major junior uh cold guys like 570 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 11: seventy eighty games, but they wan't that familiar weight room 571 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 11: in that process. It's great guys now that have that 572 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 11: opportunity to go to college and even make some cash. 573 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 11: Why not. 574 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, seven hundred k for McKenna at at Penn State. 575 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure you didn't get quite that at Saint Clotte 576 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: State back when no one guy I want to praise 577 00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: and I don't want to sound like I'm knocking him 578 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: at the same time. 579 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 4: I praise it. 580 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: But I thought Eric Carlson last night played the most 581 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: structurally fundamentally sound game I've seen him play as a penguin, 582 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: and maybe that says something about muse. 583 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 11: Yeah, I think you know again, he's get everyone to 584 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 11: buy in sometimes with those guys, I think early on 585 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 11: they're so skilled and can change games at any moment. 586 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,959 Speaker 11: We try to do too much right for everyone and 587 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 11: realizing sometimes like hey, just your little part, make these 588 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 11: simple plays and be effective. And then if you have 589 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 11: more consistency that way, when you're not trying to do 590 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 11: too much or you know, pass it through maybe certain 591 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 11: skates and make that hard pass. Just kind of make 592 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 11: the simple play, the high percentage play. And you know, again, 593 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 11: if all five guys and ice are buying defensively be 594 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 11: on the right side of the puck, it's it's, you know, 595 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 11: a team mentality that's gonna be very frustrating for the 596 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 11: other team. So again I think up and down the lineup, 597 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 11: everyone played played great there at the MSG. 598 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,959 Speaker 1: What has to happen for the Penguins to beat the 599 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: odds and beat the talk and be a playoff team? 600 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 11: I mean, I mean the ad you know me enough. 601 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 11: I feel like, obviously we can look at teams and 602 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 11: the depths and that's rooms they haven't experienced. But at 603 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 11: the end of the day, it's at the locker room 604 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 11: buying into a certain system and style they want to play, 605 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 11: and how five guys are on the ice and there's 606 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 11: not a lot of room on the ice to make 607 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 11: the places. And if you got a goalie back there, uh, 608 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 11: you know that can make those. Uh most of these days, 609 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 11: you're always gonna do it every night. And you look, 610 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 11: there wasn't too many power plays. But I know that's 611 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 11: another key for the Penguins that will help them get 612 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 11: in the plut. They're gonna be at the five power unit. 613 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 11: I will have the chances of getting in this year. 614 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 4: Bugs. I got an update. 615 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: You got to pass along to your dad, Greg, who 616 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: played for the Penguins.

I didn't have your dad's size. 621 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: Tell him it's in. Next time I see him.

Great seeing my kids. Had 625 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 11: a good laugh about they've been wearing up in Minnesota there. 626 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 11: But yeah, I was a great seeing you.

I'm looking 718 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 4: at the menu. That's your cue whammy. Let's go to Matthew. Matthew, 719 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,800 Speaker 4: ask Mark anything, Mark? 720 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 2: What up? 721 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 6: What up? 722 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 4: Mine? 723 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 13: I wanted to get your thoughts on the new drummer 724 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:21,239 Speaker 13: for Rush, who is a female. My initial thought was, 725 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 13: this joke's been made elsewhere. This is a way to 726 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 13: guarantee at least one woman would attend all future Rush concerts. 727 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: No, I don't think that's true at all, but it's 728 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 1: not unfunny. No, bro, here's the thing I've never heard 729 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 1: of her. I'll be blunt. She must be great if 730 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:43,240 Speaker 1: they picked her to fill Neil Pairt's drums seat, because 731 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: everything she does will be incredibly scrutinized. That said, I 732 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 1: think being a woman, and people won't like this, but 733 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,959 Speaker 1: I think she's less likely to be criticized if she's 734 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: not as good as hoped. 735 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes sense. 736 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 13: I mean if you watch did you see the video 737 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 13: where they announced, you know, Getty Lee and Alex right 738 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,760 Speaker 13: that they were touring again. They said that she came 739 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,359 Speaker 13: with the recommendation of Jeff Beck For what. 740 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 4: That's forth good enough for me. I'm sure she's great. 741 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 1: Did you see they added like six tour dates, but 742 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,839 Speaker 1: all in the same cities. They're like playing four shows each, 743 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: I think in five of the cities, like New York, Dallas, Chicago, 744 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 1: of course Toronto. I think they added one more show 745 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: in Cleveland for locals who want to drive up there. 746 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:34,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, I did see that. 747 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 13: The other crazy thing they said, which I thought was 748 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 13: interesting is that they're going to have a keyboard player, 749 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,840 Speaker 13: so I guess that relieves Lee of doing the bass 750 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 13: and singing and playing the pedals at the same. 751 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have a rhythm guitar player too, 752 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,320 Speaker 1: And that's the Rolling Stones formula. When you get older, 753 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,440 Speaker 1: you can only do so much, So get more people 754 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 1: up there, and I have no problem with it. 755 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,239 Speaker 4: Thank you for the call. Let's go to Dave. Dave 756 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:02,240 Speaker 4: ask Mark anything. 757 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:04,319 Speaker 2: Hey, what I'm mean? 758 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 4: What I mine? 759 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 3: So? 760 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 12: I'm sure you know that the MLB players Union's contract 761 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 12: coming up by Leupkin the next year. Do you think 762 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 12: there's anything that could happen. 763 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 11: During these negotiations that might make that future of Pastburgh 764 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 11: a little brighter? 765 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 4: No? 766 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: I mean, even if they got a salary cap that 767 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 1: would cause everyone to rejoice. A salary cap wouldn't force 768 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 1: Nutting to fix it. He would just spend to the floor. 769 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 1: The absolute lowest he could pay is what he's gonna pay. 770 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: So while it will shut down, close down, narrow is 771 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: the best word to say. It will narrow the payroll 772 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 1: disparity between the great teams and Nuttings pirates, it will 773 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: not narrow it enough because he won't let it. I mean, 774 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,360 Speaker 1: the one good thing about the cap is at that 775 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,280 Speaker 1: point it would it would be undeniably one hundred. 776 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 4: Percent his fault for not spending enough. If he just 777 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:58,839 Speaker 4: spends to that floor. Thank you for the call. 778 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 3: It's pretty much let's go. 779 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:01,239 Speaker 4: To a talkback. 780 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 5: Does everyone ride Lamar's jack? Oh, he has some good stats. Oh, 781 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 5: but they don't include his fumbles and his QB rating. 782 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,839 Speaker 5: What's another problem. Oh yeah, he's never beat a good 783 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 5: team when it counted. 784 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you were pro Lamar or anti Lamar. 785 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 1: That's one of the worst talkbacks we've ever got. Lamar's great, 786 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 1: He's been an MVP. Look at his numbers. He's great, 787 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,800 Speaker 1: I can't. I mean, every football player has nobody's perfect. 788 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: And he does fumble some, but he runs more and 789 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 1: he gains more, and he scores more and he does more. 790 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 1: Like you know, even the greatest football players have some 791 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,279 Speaker 1: flaw And with so many stats now you're able to 792 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:46,320 Speaker 1: prove anything you want. 793 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 4: Really, But I'm a Lamar guy. I think he's. 794 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 1: Brilliant, and I think they need him back, and I 795 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 1: think they need this. I think the Steelers need him 796 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: to not be back, Let's go to other talkback. 797 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 9: Hey Mark, another great interview with said. 798 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 4: As always, thank you. 799 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 13: Question what athlete in the past would you have liked 800 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 13: to have interviewed that you never had before. 801 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 1: That's a good question because most of my bucket list 802 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 1: interviews are rock stars like Nikki Six, you know, Robert Plant, 803 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 1: Jimmy Page, the more obvious ones.
