1
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: The MLB opener was last night.

2
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 2: New York Yankees at San Francisco Giants, like it was

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 2: the nineteen fifty one World Series and I didn't watch,

4
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 2: but Yeoe point out on Twitter a player got interviewed

5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 2: in the field while he was playing, a manager got

6
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 2: interviewed during the game, and a guy a kayak got

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: interviewed in the bay behind the park during the game.

8
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: Nowadays sports telecasting is about anything but the game. Maybe

9
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: that's okay. I wish the player being interviewed would make

10
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: an error or get beat. Yeah, this guy throws a

11
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 2: good car.

12
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: I got hit ahead him Dan.

13
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: By the way, regarding that tweet, I see all the

14
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: time with that bill board. Has anybody listening had their

15
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: first face gass because without getting into detail, I've had many.

16
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: I've had many.

17
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: Eight three, three, four one two WXDX is the number

18
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: to call. One thing that's very evident in today's Bucko

19
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: game them trailing eleven five. I think it's the eighth. Oh,

20
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 2: Brandon Lougis made out hit home runs the first two

21
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: times up out. Ever since he's a bum No, he's

22
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 2: got two home runs one for him. This would be

23
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: even worse than eleven to five. It's the top of

24
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: the eighth.

25
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: By the way.

26
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: One thing that's apparent from today's outing is the Poirates

27
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: are going to be horrible defensively. And that hasn't showed

28
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: up in the form of errors. It showed up in

29
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: the form of plays not made. And I told you,

30
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: I told you they're compromising defense badly for the sake

31
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: of offense. And I get it, and they had to.

32
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: But it's already showing up. It's already hurt them badly.

33
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: Then again, the Mets have hit a bunch of home runs,

34
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: I think three, So in terms of them losing today,

35
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 2: well there's that as well. But Davis, who's supposed to

36
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 2: be the great defensive catcher, he's had a pass ball

37
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: that was in the first inning where Skens got blowed up.

38
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: CRUs made those two terrible.

39
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: Miscues in the oftfield in the first inning, played a

40
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: flyball into a triple, lost a flyball in the sun

41
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: got Skeens, pulled five earned runs in two thirds of

42
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: an inning. Wasn't credited with an error, but those were

43
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: miscues to be sure. Maybe that's the flaw in baseball

44
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: scoring system. Oh and here's the best part. He lost

45
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 2: the flyball in the sun, and he was the only

46
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 2: Pirate outfielder at that moment not wearing sunglasses. Well, they

47
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: showed him a couple of innings back catching a flyball,

48
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: which is a miracle in and of itself, and he

49
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: still wasn't wearing sunglasses. Not only his cruise moron, I mean,

50
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 2: just you can tell he's just stupid. Low baseball IQ,

51
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: but low IQ period. And he keeps making mistakes mental,

52
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: every kind of mistake you can make, and the fact

53
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: that he went back out there without sunglasses shows he's

54
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 2: just unwilling to correct them, either because he's stubborn or stupid,

55
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: or more likely both. And yeah, I know exit velocity,

56
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: running speed from first to third, Well, none of that

57
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: matters if you just don't know how to play baseball.

58
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: And O'Neill Cruiz just doesn't know how to play baseball.

59
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: And he can't hit lefties at all. Ain't that great

60
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: against righty's either one for four today, which is better

61
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: than last year when he hit two hundred. And I

62
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: talked about the defense already betraying them.

63
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: And here's another example. Ozzie Smith did shortstop.

64
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 2: He's supposed to be this great glove won a utility

65
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: man gold glove. Well, there was a single earlier in

66
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: the game that went past him into left field. Not

67
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: an easy play, but Ozzie Smith should make it right

68
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: and then to throw home to try to nail the

69
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: runner by Brian Reynolds went ten feet up the first

70
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 2: base line. So it's just a team that's really flawed

71
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: and we're seeing that right away today. They might not

72
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 2: win the division, is what I'm saying. Although the overreaction,

73
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 2: the same guys who were saying they're gonna win eighty

74
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: seven games after just eight innings there on Twitter saying, well,

75
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: but we underestimated these guys. Yeah, maybe you have no credibility. Overestimated.

76
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: I should say, all right, get your calls in eight three, three, four,

77
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: one two WXDX. He's still not wearing sunglasses. Incredible, and

78
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 2: the schemes thing. I know he's not to blame for

79
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 2: Cruise's miscues, but he still only went two thirds of

80
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: an inning.

81
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: He still looked rattled. He weren't striking guys out.

82
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: I mean, if Cruise is gonna make miscues in center field,

83
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 2: maybe strike guys out. Don't let the ball get the

84
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: center field. He didn't even complete the first inning and

85
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: and by the way, he made history. We keep talking

86
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: about how Skeens is a guy who makes history.

87
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: Well he did.

88
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: He is the first cy Young winner in history to

89
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 2: not complete the first inning of his first start of

90
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: the next season. It's not totally his fault. It's not

91
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: even half his fault. But it's not not his fault either.

92
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 2: Any hoodles, get your calls in eight three three four

93
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: one two w XDX. We got josh Oey with hockey

94
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 2: talk at the bottom of the hour, and I'm scared

95
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 2: of the draft. I've been talking about that. I got

96
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 2: a blog going up at wxdx dot com that talks

97
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: about it.

98
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: Has anybody seen the map of.

99
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 2: The draft, like where everything's going to be, all the

100
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: roads that are closed and the rivers are going to

101
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: be tightly controlled too. It is scary, It's really scary.

102
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 2: It's it's like it's like d Day and I'll be

103
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 2: the first guy shot when I come out of the

104
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 2: landing craft.

105
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: Anyway.

106
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 2: Eight three three four one two w XDX. Yoe at

107
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: the bottom of the hour at one oh five to nine,

108
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: there's how bad o'nella Cruz.

109
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: Is playing today?

110
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 2: With his two miscues in the outfield that it's screwed

111
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 2: skiens God Skeen's knocked out after two thirds inning and

112
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: five earned runs.

113
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: The ra is currently.

114
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: At sixty seven point five on the year. By the way,

115
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: not only does l'le have two home runs today, Ryan

116
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: O'Hearn has a couple of home runs excuse me one

117
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: home run today. So that's a couple of new Pirates

118
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: doing okay in a game they're gonna lose at New

119
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: York and getting back to.

120
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: Cruise.

121
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: I'd trade him now, like tomorrow, because there's going to

122
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: be some team out there that doesn't realize he just

123
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 2: doesn't know how to play baseball, and we'll keep looking

124
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: at his unrealized potential as the Pirates have done for

125
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: how long and much to their detriment, not least today

126
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: in the first inning. But celebrities are making fun well,

127
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: other athletes are making fun of O'Neil Cruz. Gary Sheffield

128
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 2: tweeted O'Neil Cruz as horrible and he's right. And Joel Embiid,

129
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: the basketball player who's always hurt, he tweeted, uh, well,

130
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: I can't find it now that frigging figures. That's a

131
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: problem with Twitter.

132
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: You can't.

133
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 2: Well, he basically said, oh, here it is CRUs. Get

134
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: ready to learn DH, buddy, that's pretty good. I'm not

135
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: sure how you learn DH. But but I mean they

136
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: already have how many dhs?

137
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: Ozuna got to DH? Creuse should DH?

138
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: You got a first basement in right field, you got

139
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: a third basement at shortstop, you gotta you got a

140
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 2: second basement at third base. I mean, their fielding problems

141
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: shouldn't surprise anybody but H.

142
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: And some people wanted cuts the stick around.

143
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: Who would have been yet another guy who should be

144
00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: and in his case can only DH. And now I'm

145
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: beginning to wonder, given all that, if if they should

146
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: have got not better players than they got because you

147
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: get what you pay for and they don't want to

148
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: spend much, even though I guess they're spending what twenty

149
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: million more dollars this year.

150
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: In payroll, But I don't know.

151
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: The fielding is going to be not just bad, but

152
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 2: game changing bad, as evidenced by the fact that today's

153
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 2: game has been changed by it. Although the Mets did

154
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 2: hit a bunch of home runs as well, eight three, three,

155
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: four one two wxdx. The number to call, Let's go

156
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 2: to Corey Corey, you're on with Mark.

157
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: Good day, I said, good day.

158
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 3: And Mark, you know there's still one hundred and sixty

159
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 3: one games left.

160
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, okay, so what they'll.

161
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 4: Be Okay, they're going to get it together.

162
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: No, no, no, they're They're not going to ever be a

163
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: decent fielding team. We knew that before today. And even

164
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: though it is only one of one sixty two, you

165
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 2: look at the way they're set up in the field,

166
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: and they're not going to be a good fielding team.

167
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: They're just not well.

168
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 3: I think if you get Cruise out of center field.

169
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: They're not going to. They're just not going to.

170
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 3: But you got to bring up and put it.

171
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: Okay, they're just not They're just not going to, at

172
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: least not right away. And the problem isn't the fielding

173
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: at short Toriolo can field.

174
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: He just can't hit.

175
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: You just want so badly for them to be good

176
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 2: that you won't see their flaws and you think they're

177
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: easily fixable because you're a Mark.

178
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: But their fielding flaws are not fixable.

179
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 3: It fixable, there's a hundred Tell.

180
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: Me how to fix it.

181
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: Tell me exactly how you would rearrange the lineup to

182
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 2: make this a better fielding team.

183
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 3: Go ahead, I told you what I would do.

184
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: Okay, but they're not. But they're not going to and

185
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: and and again.

186
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: You would see this is a typical pirate stooge, mark moron.

187
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: That's what you are, because you just won't listen. Okay,

188
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 2: fielding is not a problem at short stuff. Toola is

189
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 2: a decent fielder. He should be at third base, but

190
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: he's decent at short stuff. How do you fix center field?

191
00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 2: How do you fix crews.

192
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 3: The same way you fix the peng ones by getting

193
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 3: La Tang out of the line.

194
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: Yeah okay, but you see you shifted the argument because

195
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 2: you know you can't win it and you're stupid and

196
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: you can't get La Tang out of the lineup, nor

197
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: can you get Cruise out of the lineup.

198
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: You just don't get it.

199
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 2: Seriously, you've heard me call you stupid for so many instances.

200
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: You must believe you're stupid. Do your parents think you're stupid?

201
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 2: Does your girlfriend think you're stupid? Do your kids think

202
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 2: you're stupid? Does your dog think you're stupid? Because you're stupid?

203
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: Stupid?

204
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 3: Nobody thinks I'm stupid?

205
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 2: Oh everybody listening does believe me, thanks for the called

206
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 2: jerk off. They're just a bad fielding team and it

207
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 2: can't be fixed. If you want to say it's only

208
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 2: one of one sixty two and say there's no reason

209
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 2: to panic, you're right about that.

210
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: You're right about that. Skis is gonna pitch great.

211
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: He's gonna win the cy young again, despite Cruise having

212
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 2: put his era up at sixty seven point five with

213
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: those two miscues in the first knitting. I mean, don't

214
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: worry about skeins. They're hitting better. I mean, that's one

215
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: thing that's encouraging from today. A couple home runs by

216
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 2: a home run by o'hearne. You love it when the

217
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: new guys come in and hit like that right away,

218
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: But you can't fix them in the field. O'Hearn's not

219
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 2: a right fielder. Cruise isn't a guy who should play

220
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: in the field anywhere. Reynolds should be in right, not left.

221
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 2: You gotta you gotta a second basement at third base,

222
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: You got a third basement at second base. Your your

223
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 2: wiz defensive catcher at a pass ball today?

224
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: Is any of this sinking?

225
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: In? It all with that idiot who just called but

226
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: you bench Latang, You can't bench Latang either. You actually

227
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 2: proved my argument, and Latang is a good defenseman with

228
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 2: three rings. O'Neil Cruz is an idiot who can't do anything,

229
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: not even hit two hundred last year. But I want

230

Speaker 2: their last time. It's O'Neil Cruz. Some people just defend

254
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 2: Cruise no matter what. Some idiot on Twitter said, well,

255
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: that's what you get when you try to convert a

256
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 2: short stop to centerfield when he's twenty five years old.

257
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

258
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 2: The reason they did that is because he was crap

259
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 2: at shortstop.

260
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: And he just struck out to end the game. Joining

261
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: me now.

262
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 2: He covers the Penguins for the Athletic. Always great to

263
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 2: talk to, Josh Showey, Josh, are the Penguins collapsing? Just slumping?

264
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: Can they get a second win? It's kind of a

265
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: weird team to draw a beat on right now, isn't it.

266
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 3: It certainly is. I don't know how to gauge what's

267
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 3: going on right now in those terms, but I will

268
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 3: say this mark. Their problem is very simple, Like they've

269
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 3: given up forty eight goals in their last eleven games.

270
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 3: That's an unacceptable number and if that continues, they're not

271
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 3: making the playoffs. And the tough thing is, I don't

272
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 3: know exactly who you blame. Like it's easy to blame

273
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 3: the goaltending, and yes, that's been very, very poor lately,

274
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 3: but the blue line's been awful too. And if you

275
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 3: ask a lot of defensemen on and off the record,

276
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 3: they will kind of quietly indicate that the forwards haven't

277
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 3: been helping that much either in the defensive zone, and

278
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 3: then they're probably right. So it's difficult when you can't

279
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 3: pinpoint exactly what the problem has been. But when your

280
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 3: goals against is that bad, I can call it a

281
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: collapse if you want. Maybe that is the right word.

282
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think they're in a little bit of

283
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 3: trouble right now.

284
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 2: I do everything you said about about the defensive cores

285
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: and the forwards not helping back is true. But you're

286
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 2: a lot of rob a goal, you're a lot of

287
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 2: stealing game and the goalies just don't do that.

288
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: What should they do in goal?

289
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: I have mooted calling up morrishoff from Wilkes where he's dominating,

290
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: but they're not going to do that.

291
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: Would you pick a number one goalie? Maybe?

292
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 3: Maybe? And the first thing first, I would have called

293
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 3: Sergei Miroshav a couple of days ago, and I don't

294
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 3: think you're going to hurt his development by calling him out,

295
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 3: albeit in a high pressure situation. I've been around that

296
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 3: kid enough, Mark like there's just something special about his

297
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 3: personality and his maturity. I think he'd be fine, I

298
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 3: really do. And I think he's the best goaltender, so

299
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 3: I think they need to consider it. But the rotation

300
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 3: certainly isn't working. I just don't know which one I

301
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 3: would pick. I might lean towards Skinner, especially because the

302
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 3: last couple of games she Lobs has just been so awful.

303
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 3: At least Skinner has some experience and has one big

304
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 3: games in the past more than she Lobs. I rotate on.

305
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 3: I go back and forth on which one I think

306
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 3: is better or worse, but neither one's good right now.

307
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 3: That said, the rotation is getting a little silly. You

308
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 3: got to change it up. At some point. I would think,

309
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 3: why won't.

310
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 2: They call it more shop Because I don't have any

311
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 2: sense that they're even considering it, even though you can

312
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 2: ask any Penguin hockey personnel guy, any guy in any

313
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: hockey job, who the best goalie is, and most of

314
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 2: them will say and right now, oh, the people in.

315
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 3: The organization are infatuated with his talent. They really are,

316
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 3: there's no question. And there's a couple of strange things

317
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 3: going on right now, Mark, I don't want to jump ahead,

318
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 3: but both with Miroshov and with Rutger McGroarty, like, you

319
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 3: can't tell me that they aren't better than a lot

320
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 3: of people on the NHL roster right now at their

321
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 3: respective positions. And it's a little bizarre to me that

322
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,239
Speaker 3: they haven't made that decision to bring these guys up

323
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 3: when I think they can help them. And the funny

324
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 3: thing is, a couple of months ago, I was told, like,

325
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 3: don't be shocked if Miroshov comes up, even though we

326
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 3: got Skinner and he's playing well. I basically was told,

327
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 3: if one of these guys starts to falter a little bit,

328
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 3: you might see him. And I'm surprised we haven't yet.

329
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 3: And maybe it's because they've never fallen out of playoff position,

330
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 3: so they never felt an urgency to change things up,

331
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 3: but man, the way they've played the last few games

332
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 3: should should certainly indicate some urgency.

333
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 2: In my opinion, it seems like you got to beat

334
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 2: Outawa tonight and you got to beat Thelanders on Monday.

335
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 2: Both are four point games, both on the road and

336
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 2: in buildings where the Penguins usually don't do well.

337
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially this one in Ottawa. Sidney Crossby, he's been

338
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 3: in the NHL for twenty one years. The Penguins have

339
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 3: only won seven games in regulation in Ottawa and his

340
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 3: entire career. They absolutely hate playing in this building. A

341
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 3: lot of times they get blown out in this building.

342
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:27,959
Speaker 3: I don't have a real explanation for it. It's just

343
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 3: one of those things sometimes certain places you don't play well.

344
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 3: In Ottawa is really good defensively, they like to pack

345
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 3: it in and win low scoring games, and historically the

346
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 3: Penguins just don't like playing teams like that. Boston and

347
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 3: the Islanders are a couple of other teams historically that

348
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 3: you're going to try to trap them to death and

349
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 3: win a low scoring game. The Penguins hate playing against

350
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 3: those kinds of teams. Now. Luckily for the Penguins, Autawa

351
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 3: is a little banged up tonight A couple of their

352
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 3: top defensemen are out of the lineup. Maybe that will help.

353
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 3: I don't know if tonight is they must win. It's

354
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 3: easy to say that it is, but they better stop

355
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 3: the bleeding. They better at least get a point and

356
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 3: have themselves a good weekend, because you can't just go

357
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 3: on a slide like they're on right now. With how

358
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 3: competitive the East is, You're really gonna be in trouble

359
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 3: if that happens.

360
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 2: H Kyle Dubas hasn't made many bad moves recently, but

361
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 2: the Kulak for Gerard trade ain't working on?

362
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 3: Is it not yet? And I understand I praised it

363
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 3: at the time because I think Gerard's are more talented

364
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 3: player than Kulak, and I still believe that. And you

365
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 3: got the second round pick too, so I understand why

366
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 3: the trade was made. I'm not even saying he lost

367
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 3: the trade per se, but one cannot deny that the

368
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 3: Penguins have not been as good without Kulak, and as

369
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 3: everybody knows, for whatever reason, chrys Latang was playing a

370
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 3: much higher quality level of hockey with Kulak as his

371
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 3: defense partner. He and Gerard have brought out the worse

372
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 3: than one another. For what I can tell, I think

373
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 3: they're going to be together again tonight. I essentially have

374
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 3: been told the coaching staff has told him, hey, to

375
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 3: figure it out, which we think you're Our best option

376
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 3: is a second pairing blue line unit. They haven't figured

377
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 3: it out yet, and Gerard's been disappointing. I mean he

378
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 3: has certainly been a bit of a disaster.

379
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 2: He plays so small. He's small, literally, but he plays

380
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 2: smaller than that. And he does the freaking spin a

381
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 2: Rooney all the damn time with the puck. I mean,

382
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 2: how can the other team not read that?

383
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I assume if you're scouting the Penguins or.

384
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 3: Colorado over the years, you know what he's going to do. No,

385
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 3: he's he's not without talent, but his decision making has

386
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 3: been brutal. I mean he has really really had a

387
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 3: position a ton in the defensive zones. I try to

388
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 3: be patient with.

389
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 5: New defenseman because it sometimes does take.

390
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 3: A while for those guys in a new system with

391
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,719
Speaker 3: new defense partners to get comfortable. And he's been banged up.

392
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 3: But this isn't a time of the year in a

393
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 3: situation where the Penguins can really afford to be patient

394
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 3: with anyone. They just can't that.

395
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 5: This is to me, this is a serious problem for.

396
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 3: The Penguins market if they missed the playoffs after the

397
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 3: year they've had where they pretty much said, a, right,

398
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 3: we're not going to sell anymore this season. We're all

399
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,959
Speaker 3: in trying to make the playoffs. Like, that's fine if

400
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 3: you make the playoffs, but if you come this far

401
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 3: and then crash out at the end, Man, what a

402
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 3: disaster would be in Gerard certainly has not helped.

403
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: Well, it's a worst case scenario.

404
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 2: And just to skip ahead a bit, if they do

405
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 2: miss the playoffs after having been in a playoff spot

406
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 2: almost literally the entire year, that would make for a

407
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 2: tumultuous offseason, wouldn't it.

408
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 3: I'm sure it would. I mean a lot of decisions

409
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 3: are about to be made, I think based on this,

410
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 3: like if they missed the playoffs, Like, I don't think

411
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 3: I've Getny Malkins coming back anyway. He sure as ill

412
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 3: wasn't coming back if they missed the playoffs. I'm telling you,

413
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 3: I really believe that's strongly Mark, and I wonder about

414
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,959
Speaker 3: some of the other veterans on the team, and if

415
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 3: Kyle might I don't want to say going to cell

416
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 3: mode this summer, but if it might alter his plans

417
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 3: more in that direction, that might seem reactionary, but I

418
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 3: don't think it is. Making the playoffs changes things a

419
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 3: little bit. And I also think Mark, you know, making

420
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 3: the playoffs has an impact in many ways, Like it's

421
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 3: really going to help their season ticket base, which is

422
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 3: taking an enormous hit the last three or four years.

423
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 3: Like little things like that, it goes a long way.

424
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 2: I think is prob revenue that the two or three

425
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: games minimum you'd sell and you're in.

426
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 3: The middle of an ownership change, like that's a big deal.

427
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 5: It really.

428
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 3: People don't always think of that in that way, but

429
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 3: it actually is a deal. Like, you know, I think

430
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 3: Sid's going to sign another contract anyway with the Penguins,

431
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 3: but if he really believes they're moving in the right direction,

432
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 3: that that probably makes it a much easier decision for him,

433
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 3: maybe as early as this summer. So there's a lot

434
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 3: of different things to play here. And if they miss

435
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 3: out on the playoffs by a point or two at

436
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 3: the end and end up with the fifteenth pick on

437
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 3: the draft, oh Man I mean that that's not good

438
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 3: for anybody. Let's be honest.

439
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 2: Well, Josh, I do believe Siddill sign an extension. I

440
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 2: also believe you'll finish his career. But I also know

441
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 2: he wants Gino to play here as long as Gino

442
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: won on no matter.

443
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 3: What I know he does, and that's always been the case.

444
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 3: I don't think management really feels that way. I think

445
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 3: they're trying to navigate the situation as best as they can.

446
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 3: I do think there's a number of people in the

447
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 3: organization who are ready to move on from Malkin. And

448
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 3: it's a tough one because on one level, you cannot

449
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 3: deny Malkin has been a point per game player this season.

450
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 3: He has had some incredible moments, But I would counter

451
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 3: that by saying he's hurt all the time, and his

452
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 3: last couple of games before he got hurt, he was

453
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 3: absolutely awful, especially against Carolina, which might have been the

454
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 3: worst game I've ever seen him play. So he still

455
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 3: looks like Gino on some nights, right, but he doesn't

456
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,479
Speaker 3: on all nights, and that's not going to change as

457
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 3: he crosses forty and older. And that's something the Penguins

458
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 3: are very well aware of but Sid no, Sid is subborn.

459
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 3: That's one of his best friends and he wants to

460
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 3: play with the guy forever. And that's not an easy

461
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 3: situation for Kyle Dubash or the Penguins. It's not like

462
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 3: Sidney Crosby doesn't have influence, of course he does.

463
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 2: We're talking to JOSHO of the Athletic here on the

464
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 2: X Josh getting.

465
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: Back to the here and now China. Kov's been a revelation.

466
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: I think he's their top scoring threat goal scoring right now.

467
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 1: Why isn't he on the top pp? It amazes me

468
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: that he's not.

469
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 3: Really strange to me and I listen. I like Anthony Manthon.

470
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 3: Manthon's gonna he's banged up, He's gonna play tonight. He

471
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 3: said this morning he would play, and he's had a

472
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 3: great season. But I don't like Mantha on the power

473
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 3: play all that much. He's six y five and two thirty.

474
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 3: He really isn't a net front guy. So why wouldn't

475
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 3: you have Ginakov? I don't understand it either. I really

476
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 3: think other than sid and Carlson, Ginakov's probably their best

477
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 3: player right now. I mean he was even in defeat

478
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,959
Speaker 3: against Colorado the other night. He was dynamic almost every shift.

479
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 3: It's not just the shot, it's his ability to skate

480
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 3: and create space for his teammates. This is quite a

481
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 3: hockey player and he's put up all these numbers. I

482
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 3: think he's on painswake thirty five goals since he's joined

483
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 3: the Penguins. Only one of those is on the power

484
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 3: play mark because they don't let play at the top

485
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 3: power play like what could that guy do on the

486
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,479
Speaker 3: power play with Eric Carlson? Are Sidney Crosby feeding him

487
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 3: one timers? Like I think everybody wants to see that

488
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 3: with the way he can shoot the puck well.

489
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 2: And that comes back to what I believe is a

490
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: culture issue. They don't want a veteran slighted. That's why

491
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 2: morishof doesn't get caught up right. They don't want to,

492
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 2: you know, have a veteran goalie be a scratch, and

493
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 2: and that is to the detriment. This team has great leadership,

494
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 2: I guess, but there's stuff like this I just don't

495
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 2: get because I know where it trickles down from right

496
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 2: And now.

497
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 3: I think that's a good point. Look at their top

498
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 3: power play sids thirty eight. Malcolm's thirty nine, Raquel's thirty two.

499
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 3: I think Russ Is thirty three, Carlson thirty five. That

500
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 3: might be the oldest power play in history. Like, I'm

501
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 3: not even kidding it. It's been good, but there's nothing

502
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 3: wrong with incorporating some young blood on the power play

503
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 3: in Ginakobb Like he's their best pure goal scorer right now.

504
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,239
Speaker 3: I mean, this kid is special. I was talking with

505
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 3: a couple of Penguins last week, Kevin Hayes. When I'm

506
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 3: talking about Kevin Hayes, he looked at me and said,

507
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 3: this guy's gonna score forty goals next year. He's that good.

508
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 3: And I don't disagree with him, but it makes.

509
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 5: It a lot easier to score forty when you get

510
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 5: to play on.

511
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 3: The top power plan. I think he's earned it the

512
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 3: way he's played, and I agree with you. I think

513
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 3: there is too much differential treatment toward older players at

514
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 3: times in this organization, and in his case, I really

515
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,479
Speaker 3: think they need to consider giving him more of a

516
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 3: high profile job.

517
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 2: Now, staying with the leadership thing, I will say sid

518
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 2: really shouldered the burden after that loss to Colorado, didn't he?

519
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: And he does that for effect, the good effect. I

520
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 2: agree with him doing it because that game was unwinnable.

521
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: Colorado's just way better.

522
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 2: If they played the Penguins best of seven, they would

523
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: sweep them.

524
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

525
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 2: Sure, that's seven twined Denver, not okay, five games that

526
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: seven two winned Denver notwithstanding.

527
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was mirage. We all know it. You know

528
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 3: it's funny you and I are in the locker room

529
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 3: all the time, but I realize most people listening they're not.

530
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 3: I was in the locker room the other night and

531
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 3: a few other players were talking, and I noticed Sid

532
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 3: was just sitting there by himself with his arms folded,

533
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 3: and like, if Sid doesn't want to talk, which is rare,

534
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 3: he almost always makes himself available. He'll leave if he

535
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 3: doesn't want to talk, And he was just sitting there

536
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 3: with his arms folded, kind of glaring straight ahead. So

537
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 3: I thought, you know, I think he wants to say something.

538
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 3: So I just went over to him, and he's certainly

539
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 3: handled it well. He looked right at me, he said, hey,

540
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 3: I played bad tonight. I blew an assignment defensively, and

541
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 3: it's up to me to lead this team back to

542
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 3: playing better hockey. And he meant it. He had a

543
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 3: look of conviction on his face. I bet he plays

544
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 3: well to night. He hasn't really been himself since he

545
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 3: came back from the injury. I have a feeling you're

546
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 3: going to see a particularly motivated Sydney Crosby tonight.

547
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: Well.

548
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 2: I hate to say that Sid and Gino and Gino's out.

549
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 2: I hate to say they have to do more because

550
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: that's a little unfair because they're, you know, each getting points.

551
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 2: But but you know, hockey's not fair, and the Penguins

552
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 2: as they're currently constituted, do need those two to take

553
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 2: over games, probably more than they have in recent weeks. No.

554
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 3: I actually wrote a column this afternoon for The Athletic

555
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 3: and that's what I said. All the readers were mad

556
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 3: at me because I think I mean to expecting too

557
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 3: much a sid because he's thirty eight. But I wrote, listen,

558
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 3: they're giving up goals like crazy. They're not built to

559
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 3: win two to one games anyway, and they've got Lazade

560
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 3: out of the lineup. Manthis banged up Malkins out. But

561
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 3: you know, they got a lot of important people out

562
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 3: of the lineup right now. If they make the playoffs,

563
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 3: it's probably going to be largely because Sidney Crosby has

564
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 3: a huge final eleven games of the season, and he's

565
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 3: capable of that. No, he's not the dominant player he

566
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 3: was fifteen years ago, but that doesn't mean he can't

567
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 3: get hot for a stretch. And I really think the

568
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 3: Penguins probably need that from him, because I don't think

569
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 3: they're just gonna start shutting down teams and holding them

570
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 3: to one or two goals. There's no evidence to suggest

571
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 3: that's going to happen.

572
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:51,719
Speaker 1: Do you think they're gonna make it.

573
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 2: I've been putting their chances at fifty to fifty for

574
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 2: the best part of a week now.

575
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 3: I still think they're going to I think it's going

576
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 3: to come down to the last night in Saint Louis.

577
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 3: Probably the one thing helping them. Their last five or

578
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 3: six games are pretty soft. A bunch of non playoff

579
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 3: teams and all the Boston's and Columbuses and Islanders. All

580
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 3: they do is play each other in the final ten

581
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 3: days or so. That really helps the Penguins. They just

582
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 3: need to survive the next five or six games and

583
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 3: at least call five hundred. If they can do that,

584
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 3: I still think they have a real good chance to

585
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 3: get in. But they're in trouble for the first time.

586
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 3: There's no doubt about it.

587
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 2: I agree with that, but let me throwing a disclaimer.

588
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 2: If they're in a playoff spot going into those last

589
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: five or six games, they'll find a way to hold on.

590
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 2: If they're not in the playoff spot, they won't.

591
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 3: You might be right, and you know that might be

592
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 3: Alex Oveshkin's last hockey game that Sunday afternoon in DC.

593
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 3: So even though the Caps aren't going to make the playoffs,

594
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 3: it's not like they wouldn't be fired up to play

595
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 3: the Penguins one last time on that afternoon. So I

596
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 3: don't want to suggest the schedules too easy for the Penguins.

597
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 3: It's certainly an interesting one, Josh.

598
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,959
Speaker 2: Before you wrap it up, you point out on Twitter

599
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 2: that today's date, March twenty six, is the best day

600
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 2: in mariole emuse career. I don't know how you researched that,

601
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 2: but it's incredible.

602
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 3: I was really bored during COVID and I was just

603
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 3: looking at the old box scores. I was like, well,

604
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 3: that's two in a row March twenty six. So I

605
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 3: went back and I looked at all of Mario's games

606
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 3: he played eight games on March twenty six, and he

607
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 3: had thirty points in the eight games. One of whats

608
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 3: you will absolutely remember was the five goal game against

609
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 3: Gretzky in the Saint Louis Blues on March twenty sixth,

610
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety six, which is I think the day after

611
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,959
Speaker 3: Austin was born. So I don't know what it was

612
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 3: in the era, but he certainly enjoyed playing on that day.

613
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 2: Josh, great stuff. We'll see it at the rink Saturday, all right,

614
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 2: Mark Siah. That's Josh Ooey from the Athletic. Now it's

615
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,239
Speaker 2: time to ask Mark anything, So get your calls in

616
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 2: Buccos lose eleven to seven.

617
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: Reverse those numbers.

618
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 2: That's where O'Neil Cruse should be working, because he's not

619
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 2: a baseball player. Dial eight three three four one two

620
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 2: wxdx eight three three four one two wxdx, or you

621
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 2: can leave a.

622
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: Talkback feed the microphone icon.

623
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 2: At the iHeartMedia app as mark anything up next to

624
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 2: one oh five nine lost Culturistas.

625
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: I would listen to that.

626
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 2: I mean I won't, but I like when the guy

627
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 2: says lost culturistas. I'm not ass mark anything brought to

628
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 2: us by People's natural gas, a safe, reliable natural gas energy.

629
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 2: That's People's Hyphengas dot com. Uh Bucco's lost eleven of seven.

630
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 2: I'll recap some of what went on, but the most

631
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 2: shocking thing, which people seem to be not talking about,

632
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 2: is that Schemes got knocked out after two thirds of

633
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 2: an inning, although it was mostly oil Cruise's fault, but

634
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 2: not totally, not totally. And obviously the this is tough

635
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 2: for the marks, for the citizens because they normally absolve

636
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 2: Cruise of everything that goes wrong because he's a cartoon

637
00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 2: character and not much goes wrong with Skis, but they

638
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 2: love him, so they're gonna absolve him. But you can't

639
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 2: absolve both in this situation. The Pirate should trade crews

640
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 2: like immediately. He's a useless baseball player. He doesn't know

641
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 2: how to play the game. You can't hide him anywhere

642
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 2: in the field, and he can't hit lefties. Only hit

643
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 2: two hundred last year, only twenty home runs. He's a

644
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 2: useless baseball player who doesn't know how to play the game.

645
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 2: Got a low baseball IQ. Got a low IQ. Period,

646
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 2: just doesn't help you win. Exit velocity, speed on the

647
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 2: base pass, how hard he throws. How long does he

648
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 2: have to do those things but suck and not help

649
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 2: you win till you figure it out and realize what

650
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 2: I have For years, he's useless.

651
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: Let's going to turn or turn your own with double.

652
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 4: M Hey, Mark, thanks for taking my call with markin

653
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 4: and you know this extension talk? What about a year

654
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 4: and a half contract?

655
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 2: And they don't do those anything else.

656
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: They don't do those anything else?

657
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 4: What Mario came?

658
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 2: They don't do those anything else. There's no such thing

659
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 2: as a half year contract. So do you have anything else?

660
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 4: Well, why can't they try?

661
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: Goodbye? Because they can't do it?

662
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 2: Ass because it's not a lot under the CBA.

663
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: Ass because you're an ass ass.

664
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 2: Let's go to double D in mckeespor Double D. You're

665
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 2: on with double m ay Mark.

666
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 6: Out of these three guitarists, who do you think is

667
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 6: the better guitar player, Tony Iomi, Angus Young, or Ace Frayley?

668
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: Can I go in order?

669
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 3: Sure?

670
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 2: Tony Iomi won, Ace Frayley two, Angus Young three. Now

671
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 2: none of them are bad, but I think Angus is

672
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 2: very basic and the songs he played and wrote or

673
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 2: very basic. I think Ace was really underrated, especially as

674
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 2: a soloist. Bit Iomi, you gotta have him number one

675
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 2: because he invented the prototypical heavy metal riff, all the

676
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 2: stuff he played in the early days of Black Sabbath.

677
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 2: He has tone and and like, like I just said,

678
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 2: he's a riff master, but his tone is terrific and

679
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 2: his solos fit the music perfectly.

680
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: So I'd go with Tony number one out of those.

681
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: How about you?

682
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I would definitely agree with that, because that mean,

683
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 6: if you think about it, had it not been for

684
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 6: Black Sabbath, overall, ACDC and Kiss probably might not have

685
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 6: existed had it not been for Tony and Sabbath.

686
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 2: I think a lot of things would have existed but

687
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 2: for Tony and Black Sabbath, the influence that band had.

688
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 2: But you can't say that for sure. I mean, you know,

689
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 2: music finds a way. Let's go to Pete Pete.

690
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:56,280
Speaker 1: You're alm with Mark.

691
00:34:58,640 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 6: Six months contract?

692
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 2: Can you do it?

693
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 3: Yes? Or no?

694
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: Let's go to a talkback?

695
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 7: Hey, Mark, you were asking about Mike Tomlin is an announcer.

696
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 2: Oh.

697
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 7: I don't know if you ever watched Living Color back

698
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 7: in the day, but Damon Wayans was in prison and

699
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 7: he kept using big words I kind of think Mike

700
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 7: Tomlin would be a lot like that.

701
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: Mike tom if not.

702
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 2: Let him go. I forgot I was talking to a tape. Okay,

703
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 2: he's done. Okay, Yeah, Tomlin will do TV just like

704
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 2: he did the press conferences. Big words, word salad, not

705
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 2: really say anything. Oh no, that was a life call, eh.

706
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 2: I'm old. I like kind of go in and out

707
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 2: of coherence. By the way, like, okay, if you sign

708
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 2: a guy in the middle of the season, you can

709
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 2: sign him for the rest of the season, but you

710
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 2: can't sign mal con Nod to a season and a

711
00:35:55,719 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 2: half contract. That is not allowed under the CBA. Let's

712
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 2: go to Joey Joey as Mark?

713
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 3: Anything with up?

714
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 4: Mark, I'm just calling.

715
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 1: I know it's opening day, but how are you feeling

716
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: about your seventy seven win count?

717
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 3: Oh?

718
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: Pretty good? How about you?

719
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 4: I'd probably say one hundred and sixty one and one is.

720
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: Coming up raised a jolly Roger Mark.

721
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, it's not all you're going to be raising,

722
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 2: but only your hand will be saluting.

723
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: Let's go to a talkback.

724
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 8: Hey, Doublem, you mentioned stupid sports earlier. Have you ever

725
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 8: heard of car jujitsu or tire wrestling on ESPN. Car

726
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 8: jitsu is two people sitting in the front seat of

727
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 8: a car using anything to submit the other. Tire wrestling

728
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 8: is two people wrestling around a stack of tires and

729
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 8: you win by stuffing fifty percent of your opponent into

730
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 8: the tire.

731
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,280
Speaker 3: We are living in the dumbest time in history.

732
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 2: I've not heard of either of those, and I feel

733
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 2: dumber for you having described them to me. We are

734
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 2: living in the dumbest time in history. But that's because

735
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 2: it's bro culture. Bro, bro Bro, this is cool. Bro.

736
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 2: Let's have a beer. Bro bro, bro Bro, let's go

737
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 2: to a talkback.

738
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 8: Was Patrick Hornquist the best net front presence player in

739
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 8: the National Hockey League in the modern era?

740
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 2: No, I think probably like a Brady kochoke is because

741
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 2: he's got more skilled. But Horny was awesome at it,

742
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 2: and he's I'm having trouble thinking of better net front

743
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 2: presences in Penguin's history.

744
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: I mean, but then again, Horny wasn't just that, just

745
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: like Kachuk.

746
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,959
Speaker 2: Isn't just that, just like like Kevin Stevens Rick talking

747
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 2: guys like that weren't just that sometimes, like Tim Kerr

748
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,760
Speaker 2: for the Flyers back when remember he was like purely,

749
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 2: almost exclusively a NetFront presence. Let's go to a talkback. Okay,

750
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 2: well we lost the last one. We should get more

751
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 2: talk going about us kulchareestas. Okayp Next, we wanna talked

752
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 2: about how again. And I'll talk a lot about this

753
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 2: moving forward, about how scared I am of the draft

754
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh one oh five nine The X and the

755
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 2: X Traffics
