1 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: That was the Alco Sports Bar on Green Street by 2 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: the way, great place. 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 2: Uh. 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the state high school basketball championships. 5 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 2: Hey, you want to talk Connor Griffin, you call a 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 2: three three four one two wxdx out of captain. 7 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: If you want to talk Penguin's goaltending, maybe call him 8 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: up morrishof which they won't. 9 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 2: But I'd make Shillovs the number one, or. 10 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: Did there at least give him a bigger workload? New 11 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: your thoughts eight three to three four one two wxdx. 12 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: But state basketball is wrapped up PIAA High school, and 13 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: eleven of the twelve boys state championships over the past 14 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: two years have been won by Catholic or private schools. 15 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: That's eleven out of twelve state boys high school basketball 16 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: championship six different classes. Is eleven out of twelve one 17 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: by Catholic or private schools. And obviously these schools have 18 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: an unfair advantage duh, because of recruiting and scholarships and opportunity, 19 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 1: et cetera. 20 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 2: But I don't know how you overcome that. 21 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 1: If you're making two leagues, private and public, the public 22 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: league don't count as much. It's the B league in 23 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: the lower rung private schools because they'd all be jammed 24 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: together in the same class because there aren't very many 25 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: of them. The lower level private schools would get killed. 26 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: So separate leagues private and public. That really doesn't work. 27 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: But this way kind of sucks too. I mean, Central 28 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: Catholic for football brings kids in from all over western Pennsylvania. 29 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: But it's good for the kids. 30 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: Like I said, better education, better opportunity. 31 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: I don't know what i'd do. What would you do? 32 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: Eight three three four one two wsdx that's eight three 33 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: to three four one two w xdx. 34 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: Paul Seiss had a good suggestion on Twitter. 35 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: He said, don't have any transfer restrictions for public schools 36 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: because when a kid goes from public to private, there's 37 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: no such thing as athletic intent. He keeps his eligibility 38 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: because even though the athletic content is obvious, you're still 39 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: paying to go to school. 40 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 2: It's public to private. 41 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: But when a kid transfers to private, the PIAA and 42 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: Whippuil feels they can judge and legislate athletic intent. I 43 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: always have a problem trying to judge intent even when 44 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: it is obvious. 45 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: In many cases like this. 46 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: But a kid can go from say, all Equipment to 47 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: Central and it's okay. A kid can go from Central 48 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: to all Equippa and it gets questioned. So Zeis says 49 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: to eliminate all transfer restrictions for public schools, which of 50 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: course would let them recruit and make it into an 51 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: excrement show as well. So again, I don't know what 52 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: I'd do. Eight three three four one two wxdx is 53 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: the number to call. Yeah, it's just I mean, I 54 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: can't say the kids shouldn't go to private schools, the 55 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: Catholic schools. It's a better education. But this is unfair. 56 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: It's an unfair edge. That number again, eight three three 57 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: four one two wxdx. Uh NCAA basketball is in the 58 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: Sweet sixteen. Texas is a good story, had to play 59 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: in the first four and has now won three straight games. 60 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: Like I said, in the Sweet sixteen. 61 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: And Shawn Miller's the coach Blackhawk High School played at 62 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: Pitt used to be a little kid ball handling wizard 63 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: on the Tonight Show. 64 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: Go on YouTube you can find that Seawan Miller Tonight Show. 65 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: They had him on there like when he was ten 66 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: eleven years old, you know, spinning balls on his fingers, 67 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: dribbling five basketballs at once. Whatever it was, and it was, 68 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: it was pretty cool when he went on to be 69 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: obviously a good player and a great coach. Had that 70 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: payoff scandal at Arizona, but he was just ahead of 71 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: his time that morphed into nil. So good for Shawn Miller, 72 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: A good guy. I almost said good kid because I 73 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: covered him when he was a kid, and I'm delighted 74 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: to see him bounce back and have a good team 75 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: at Texas. We're also talking Penguins got killed by Carolina yesterday. 76 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: I still maintain Caroline as a team. I wouldn't mind 77 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: playing in the playoffs. That system, that manna man, when 78 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: the puck turns over, putting every Pucket kid on net 79 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: and crashing over a seven game series. 80 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 2: You would draw a beat on that and have a 81 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 2: chance to beat it. 82 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: That said, the most impressive part of their game yesterday 83 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: was the for check, and equally impressiveil Jordan Stahl, whether 84 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,799 Speaker 1: he's out there against sid, whether he's out there against Gino. 85 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: You remember Giordo scored the shorthanded goal in the On 86 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: nine finals for the Penguins against Detroit won the Cup 87 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: of nine twenty nine. 88 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 2: Goals as a rookie the year before that. 89 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: Just a great guy and a great player, great captain 90 00:04:58,720 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: for Carolina as well. 91 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: But Gino and Sid can't get nothing. 92 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: Going when they're out there against Jordan stall which I 93 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: mean Stallsey loved Gino and Sid, all three of them 94 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: great teammates together back when, but I'm sure getting the 95 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: best of them two at this point in his career 96 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: delights Giordo no end. 97 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 2: Are the Penguins in trouble? Trouble's at a word i'd use. 98 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: They're in second place in the metro right now, but 99 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: I feel like I keeps saying that the Islanders in 100 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: Columbus are both in the ascension, both playing real well 101 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: right now. The Penguins are not. The Penguins went four 102 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,799 Speaker 1: to four and three with Sid. People think that's good, 103 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: it's okay, but it didn't help them. It releaked with 104 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: some of the cushion they had holding a playoff spot. 105 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: That's four wins and six losses, don't forget. 106 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 2: And then Gino. 107 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: They were two one and two while Gino was suspended, 108 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: But that's two wins and three losses, same thing. So 109 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: are they going to make the playoffs? I'd say it's 110 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: fifty to fifty right now. And if you made me 111 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: say yes or no right at this second, I would 112 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 1: probably say no. If sen Gino start taking over games 113 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: and the goalies start doing better, I mean, I I think, 114 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: I think they're probably. 115 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 2: Better than Columbus and the Islanders. 116 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: But again, both those teams are are playing good right now, 117 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: and the Islanders have Schaeffer and Siroka to hang their 118 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: hat on. Columbus has an edge in Warrensky to hang 119 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: their hat on right now. I don't know what the 120 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: Penguins have to hang their hat on. Maybe Carlson, maybe 121 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: Eric Carlson. The way he's playing. 122 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 3: My god. 123 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 2: Let's go to David Washington. Dave, you're on with double. 124 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 4: M Mark, big fan, big fan. 125 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 2: Thank you. 126 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 3: I want to talk. 127 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 4: I want to talk about the public school versus private 128 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 4: school debate in the state playoffs. I got a hot 129 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 4: take on this. I don't think you do anything. I 130 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 4: think for public school teams, those kids they learn at 131 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 4: an early age that sometimes life isn't fair and you 132 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 4: gotta find a way to overcome. 133 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: I don't think I don't need I mean, I agree 134 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: that probably nothing's gonna get done, but I don't we 135 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: need I don't think we need to flush fairness down 136 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: the toilet at the altar of learning a lesson when 137 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: you're a kid. I don't think there's value in that. 138 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: I think fair is fair and it should be fair. 139 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: But maybe it can't be fair. Maybe that's the operative 140 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: word is can't. 141 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 4: You may be onto something. Remark well, thanks for a call. 142 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 2: Bud, Thank you. 143 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: I mean the phrase I live by is life is 144 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: hard and then you die. Go to Matt and Beaver Connie, Matt, 145 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: you're on with the super genius. 146 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 3: Hey, Mark, Thanks.

Uh Phil Bork at the 187 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: bottom of the hour. Also, I want to know what 188 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: you think about the Pirates sending Connor Griffin down. I 189 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: don't think anybody wanted to see him go down, but 190 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: I think people understand. I know I do, but it 191 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: does irritate me. All the fans who cover the Pardts, well, 192 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: you had to do it, no ed bats and triple A, okay, 193 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: but you want to win. And if they had kept 194 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: him up, you'd say that's the right move because your fanboys, 195 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: if they had shot him, he'd say, well, if one 196 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: guy deserved to be shot, it was Connor Griffin. Cause 197 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: your fanboys, uh one oh five nine. 198 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 2: I know don to do. 199 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: They're talking on stuff about Aaron Rodgers and drafted Ty 200 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: Simpson and blah blah blah. We got a sound bite 201 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: later from Nick right about he doesn't get the waiting 202 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers. 203 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 2: No to why, but they're. 204 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: Gonna and I reiterate they should draft in the first 205 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: round whoever can help them the most right now, because 206 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: if you have a forty two year old quarterback, you're 207 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: trying to win right now. 208 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 2: I don't think Guard's a very good owner. 209 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: I think he's rattled by not having won a playoff 210 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: game for so long that it's a priority to just 211 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: do that at minimum. And if it sets back the 212 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 1: cause of them assembling a championship level team that can 213 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: legit compete for Super Bowl, he's okay with that. He's 214 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: a short term guy, inherited that from Tomlin. Steelers haven't 215 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: thought big picture since boy I really can't recall when 216 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: they last did. But yeah, if you just want to 217 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: win a playoff game, draft whoever can help you the 218 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: most at a position of need in the first round, and. 219 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 2: You don't draft Ty Simpson. 220 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: But but Art might do that because it gets to 221 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: pop at the podium the quarterback and he wants very 222 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: badly to establish a line of succession at the quarterback 223 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: position after having what a different starter every season at 224 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 1: that position since been retired. It makes the team look disorganized, stupid, 225 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: and halp hazard. But that's only because the Steelers are 226 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: disorganized stupid and half hazard. 227 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 2: So we can talk about that. 228 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: I guess I'd rather not, but doll A three three 229 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: four one two WXDX. You know I said I wanted 230 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: to talk about the Connor Griffin thing. 231 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 2: What do you think? But I know what you think. 232 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: You'd rather have him in Pittsburgh, but you think it's 233 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: best for his development. But why do you care what's 234 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: best for his development? When do you, as a Pirate fan, 235 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: care about right now, have expectations for right now, and 236 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: be demanding of the team you support right now? I 237 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: mean I talked about the Steelers never thinking big picture. 238 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 1: All the Pirates do is think big picture because by 239 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: kicking the can down the road, they keep the hook 240 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: baited and they keep your money coming in. And I 241 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: can't imagine how you possibly couldn't understand that. I also 242 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: want to ask about Logan Paul. Logan Paul played in 243 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: that goofy flag football game where the flag football lifers, 244 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 1: the real flag football players, beat the NFL players. That 245 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: were two NFL teams. Logan Paul played for one of those. 246 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: By the way, the NFL teams Tom Brady quarterback for one, 247 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: Joe Burwood quarterback for the other. The career flag football 248 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: players one, but that got kind of obscured by logan 249 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: Paul just acting like an ass in the game, running 250 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: his mouth afterward on social media. Somebody tell me out 251 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: there among you young dopes, because it is young dopes 252 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: like the Paul brothers what attracts you to following them 253 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,359 Speaker 1: and to making it possible for them to be legitimately 254 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: millionaires with not one ounce of discernible talent that I 255 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: can see, except they do look the part. They're good 256 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: looking guys, but I mean, Jake Paul, he fights only 257 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: guys he knows he can beat. I mean, he's no 258 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: championship level boxer. Why on earth would you pay attention 259 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: to Paul brothers.

Jord's not to talk about it. 321 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: The two time Stanley Cup champion. You see him on TV, 322 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: you hear him on the radio. You can't live without him. 323 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: He's the old two niner Phil bork Borgy. 324 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 2: One went wrong. 325 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: Yesterday because the Penguins did okay in those two recent 326 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: games at Carolina, but the Hurricanes really slowed them down 327 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: yesterday at PPG. 328 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, good afternoon, Doublem. Good to be on with you. 329 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 3: Like always, And yeah, when you look at the two 330 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 3: games in Carolina, they pulled a bit of a houdiniac 331 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 3: that not many teams can do and come back against 332 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 3: the Carolina Hurricanes and squeak a point out. But I 333 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 3: felt that the schedule had caught up to them. 334 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 6: Mark. 335 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 3: They just didn't have their fastball. I didn't think they 336 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 3: were sharp mentally or physically in the game, and it 337 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 3: seemed to me like Carolina was hell bent to redeem 338 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 3: themselves from the first beating in Pittsburgh where it was 339 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 3: the identical score five to one, and I thought the 340 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 3: Penguin caught the Carolina Hurricanes. They were in the back 341 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 3: to back, second of their back to back. In that 342 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 3: game back in December, if you remember that, Stuart Skinner 343 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 3: was incredible in that game in his first Penguin win, 344 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 3: and I thought the Penguins caught them a little bit 345 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 3: sluggish and dismantled them and kind of beat them at 346 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 3: their home game, at their own game. I thought that 347 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 3: yesterday Carolina right from the beginning of the game, when 348 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 3: Ryan Graves took that. 349 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 6: Penalty and they scored in. 350 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 3: The power play beginning the generous bounce, I felt, yeah, 351 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 3: there was some pushback from the Penguins because that's who 352 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 3: they are. They have such a big heart that they're 353 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 3: not going to roll over there. They were going to 354 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 3: try to battle through any shortcomings they had. That's admirable, 355 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 3: but absolutely the better team yesterday won the hockey game 356 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 3: because Carolina was really buttoned up and they looked good. 357 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 1: I think Stewart Skinner has struggled some in goal. Would 358 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: you adjust the goaltending at all, namely perhaps lean more 359 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: on hilloffs. 360 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 6: I don't know, because it's and I did. 361 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 3: I looked at a lot of the goals yesterday and 362 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 3: I think probably the Eelers goal was the only goal 363 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 3: you can really take your your pointer finger and say, 364 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 3: oh boy, I wish he kind of you know, got 365 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 3: that one. Other than that, again, I think he was 366 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 3: a victim of what was happening in front of him. 367 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, yesterday, but like the game in Carolina, the six' 368 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 1: five over time, loss he made a lot of good, 369 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: says but letting some shaky goals. Too and working with him, 370 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 1: LATELY i mean he's won two and five in his 371 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 1: last eight and it's just it's just too many. 372 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 3: Goals it's too many. Goals you can't get away from, 373 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 3: that Right the number is a. Number and the one 374 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 3: thing About Stuart, skinner he won't run away from. It 375 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 3: he Will he will look you right in the eye 376 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 3: and say you are Right, mark AND i need to 377 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 3: be better and that's and that's probably the best way 378 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 3: to get better. Quick but it goes hand in hand 379 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 3: if you have to be. BETTER i think he would 380 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 3: be the first one to say, that yes he, does 381 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 3: but also the team in front of him has to 382 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 3: be better. Too and you can't just expect your goaltenders 383 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 3: to you, know be serqued to solet dancers and make 384 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 3: so many incredible saves to keep the number. REASONABLE i 385 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 3: just think The penguins AND i think, AGAIN i just 386 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 3: feel like you think about that game Against winnipeg when 387 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 3: they came out to. Nothing that was off of two 388 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 3: days off. Mark so even at this point of the, 389 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 3: schedule two days off feels like two weeks, off you. 390 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 3: Know and, Again i'm the last one to make, excuses 391 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 3: because you know what excuses is. For it's for, losers, 392 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 3: right and So i'm not making. Excuses but sometimes things 393 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 3: that sound like excuses are. Reasons AND i just feel 394 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 3: like the schedule is so demanding that The penguins have 395 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 3: not been as buttoned up, defensively and they have forced 396 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 3: their goaltenders to make more, saves difficult saves than probably 397 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 3: they should have. 398 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: To you, know there's a circ to sole at Dancer 399 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: don And, Wilkes Sergey, morrishov who's lightened it. 400 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,679 Speaker 2: Up would you consider calling him?
