1
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: My guest right now is a three time Stanley Cup

2
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: champion and entering his twentieth season with the Penguins. It's

3
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: always a pleasure to speak with Christopher Letang tang A

4
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: twenty years does it seem that long?

5
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 2: No, I honestly, it goes by so fast. Obviously, you know,

6
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: we always for more spart we had, we had a

7
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: lot of success, So I guess when you're having fun

8
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: and you're doing what you love, it goes fast. So yeah,

9
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: it doesn't seem like twenty years.

10
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 3: A lot of kids are under roster now.

11
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: Talk about the energy that brings to the room and

12
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: what that does for veterans like you, Well.

13
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: It's fun. Obviously you're you want to meet you guys

14
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: and you want to see guys do well. And obviously

15
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: those two guys have actually played really well in training camp.

16
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: It's fun to see the evolution of their game and

17
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: and what they can do at this level. So it's

18
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 2: going to bring energy, It brings a different type of

19
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: atmosphere in the room. So it's going to be fun

20
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: to see their their first NHL game tomorrow.

21
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: What's your take on Harrison Brunick, the nineteen year old

22
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: defenseman who certainly had a very good training camp.

23
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: He's a great player. Obviously, we all know his skill set.

24
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 2: He can skate, he has a great shot, great great hands.

25
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: But I think he also brings a physical elements. He's

26
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: a guy that you know plays with a with a

27
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: little bit of an edge. So it's going to be

28
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: fun to see his evolution as he plays in the NHL.

29
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: You were twenty when you became a full time NHL player,

30
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: Tanger Brunick's nineteen. Mean they say it's harder for defensemen.

31
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: What was the toughest part for you to adjust back then?

32
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: I would say the speed of the game and the

33
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: fact that you're playing against man. Everybody's like strong, and

34
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: you know, the physical element of the game is different.

35
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 2: I think that's that's the biggest adjustment. But he's a

36
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: he's a smart player. Uh, he'll figure it out, and

37
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: it just takes game game to get more experience, and

38
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 2: you know you're going to see an improvement as as

39
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 2: the season goes on.

40
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: Now, you were a letter, you're an alternate captain. You

41
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: talk a lot to the younger guys. What kind of

42
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: input do you try to have.

43
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: Well, you try to talk to them, but you don't wanna,

44
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: You don't want to fill their heads, and now they don't.

45
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: They're not able to be themselves. You know, they they

46
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 2: were drafted for a reason. They were they were brought

47
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 2: on our team for for certain skill sets. So you

48
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: want you want them to showcase that, especially in training camp.

49
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: But when you see little things that they can actually

50
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: see or pay attention a little bit more, Uh, you

51
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: don't want to fill their heads. Like I said, you

52
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: want to let them play, so but I try sometime

53
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: to do just say a little little tips to help

54
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 2: their game.

55
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: Now, you guys got a heck of a power play

56
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: finished sixth in the league last year. It's basically the

57
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: same group this year. That's going to be a big

58
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: part of your success. Right, That's a pretty potent group.

59
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:29,839
Speaker 4: Yeah.

60
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 2: I think it's something that if we want to be

61
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: competitive this year, the special units will be really important.

62
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: I think it could. It could make us win a

63
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: lot more games than than we think. So, Uh, it's

64
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: going to be a huge part of our of our team.

65
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 3: How important is a good start tanger with all the changes.

66
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: It's important obviously you wanna you want to start connecting

67
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: and create chemistry with with the new guys as quick

68
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 2: as possible, so uh, we can improve faster. So I

69
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: think that's gonna be a big, big sparking.

70
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: You have a new coach for the first time in

71
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: a long time. What are your impressions to date of

72
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: Dan Muse?

73
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, a lots lots of energy, a lot

74
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: of pace. Uh doesn't really uh waste time. Uh, you

75
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 2: know at the board and cooling off between drills.

76
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 4: Uh.

77
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: He likes when the pace and the intensity is really high,

78
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: and that's what he wants out of us when we

79
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: come playing time. You know, when you're we're gonna be

80
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: playing the ranger if you want, say, a high tempo game.

81
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 2: And Uh, I think that's what he tried to bring

82
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: Uh during training camp.

83
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 3: Do you think the team will play with a bit

84
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: more structure this year? That's kind of what I'm seeing

85
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 3: so far.

86
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: Do you mean structure? You mean more more, more and.

87
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: More tight, more systematic. Maybe a different kind of system.

88
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a different type of system. It's not the same. Uh,

89
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 2: there there's more.

90
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 4: Uh. You know, when when you have a coach.

91
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: For that long, you you you try to improve year

92
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 2: after year, try to change little things, try to make

93
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: it perfect. As when you have a new coach, you know,

94
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 2: you want to go black and white at the beginning,

95
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 2: and after that you kind of work some some areas

96
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: that are kind of more gray. So I think right now, yes,

97
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: it's going to be more black and white. You've got

98
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 2: to know your assessment and you have to do your job.

99
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: At thirty seven, how does your game change and your

100
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: your conditioning routine too, which is so big for you,

101
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: has served you so well?

102
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not thirty seven. I'm actually older, so I'm

103
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 2: thirty eight.

104
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: Well let's go with thirty okay, but yeah, but still

105
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: same question.

106
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh no, I'm just I'm just using you. It's

107
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 2: for for me, it's the same thing. It's uh my conditioning,

108
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: My the way I train was always a big part

109
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: of my success in the NHL. So I'm still I'm

110
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 2: still writing with the same thing. Uh yeah. So I

111
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 2: don't want to change that. I think it's a competitive

112
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: advantage I got and I want to keep it that way.

113
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: How about on the ice, have you changed your game

114
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: very much? It still is like mostly the same game

115
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: to me.

116
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I mean, you know, like part of my

117
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: game is to be intense physical. Uh two A guide

118
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: that go up and down. So you know, I I

119
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 2: like to bring energy. I like to have a complete game.

120
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: So that's that's not going to change.

121
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: What was the return Like with with Mark Andre Ferry

122
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: for that one game, it seemed like a lot of

123
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: fun for you guys, even though he vandalized your cars.

124
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 2: Yah, yeah, I know, it was tons of fun. Obviously

125
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: spending the whole day, the day before, even after the game.

126
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: We had a little get together just remembering all the

127
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: all the good times and what it was like when

128
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,239
Speaker 2: we were together. And it was kind of weird because

129
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: when he opted on the ice, it was it kind

130
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: of like it's like we never missed a beat. It

131
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: was like he never left. So that was kind of strange,

132
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: but at the same time pretty cool.

133
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: He could still play too.

134
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: I know he's forty and you know, there's a lot

135
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: of reasons to not play, but I wish he would.

136
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know a guy like that that

137
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,559
Speaker 2: loves the game. I always has a smile in his face.

138
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: He's great for a dressing room. He also he also

139
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: bring bring a certain element on the ice, the competitiveness

140
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: and like the battle of the ads with the other guys.

141
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: I think it's uh, it's great. But at one point

142
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: when you're when mentally and physically your body is talking

143
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: to you and it's time to make a decision and

144
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: and do with his family. That's that's the best, Uh,

145
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: you know, that's the best thing you can wish for him.

146
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: He put a big number twenty nine dcal on your cars.

147
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: It's still on there.

148
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: No, it's not.

149
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: Now you've had Sindon Gino as your teammates for every

150
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: year of your career, this will.

151
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 3: Be number twenty for you.

152
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: Like I said, talk about that bond because it's certainly

153
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: very unique in today's world of pro sports where guys

154
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: move all the time.

155
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, uh, I think it's just the fact

156
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: that was just since the beginning, we had the same

157
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: goal in mind, and it was to be part of

158
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 2: its team that's gonna win championships and be competitive as

159
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: every single year to try to to win win a cup.

160
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 2: So I think from from that's some point when you're

161
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 2: all kind of rolling in the same direction, you know,

162
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: you create that bond and like today we're we're we're

163
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 2: kind of not surprised that we're still together after twenty years.

164
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: What what's the goal for this season because you're not

165
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: exactly being predicted for great things after having missed the

166
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: playoffs for a few years.

167
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't think we are right now.

168
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: We we have a goal set for for our team.

169
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 2: I just think it's it's to to get to our

170
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 2: our game as fast as possible, like be comfortable with

171
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 2: the new system, be comfortable with the new players, and

172
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: try to get results now and then we're not gonna

173
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: lie like we're gonna We're gonna have a good part play.

174
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: We need a good p K, our goalies need to

175
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: be great and uh you know, we'll we'll try to

176
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 2: get the best result. That's that's our goal. It's the

177
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: goal is to perform every single night, bringing bringing a

178
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: certain level of intensity and and we'll see what happens.

179
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: But right now, there's no like we didn't put on

180
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: on a piece of paper what our goal is. It's

181
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: just to come to the ring, compete, get better every

182
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 2: single day. That's it.

183
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 3: Tanger, Thank you for taking the time.

184
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: You've been a faithful servant to the cause here and

185
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: done great things.

186
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 3: And good luck tomorrow night.

187
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: Thank you very much.

188
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 3: That's Chris Latang. I'm Mark Madden, You're listening to one

189
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 3: O five nine the X.

190
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 5: One thirty six at Locust Avenue, Parkway East ounbound, pretty

191
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 5: heavy Oakland, the squirrel Hill Tunnel inbound Second Avenue to

192
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 5: the Fort pitt Bridge, Brendon Joseph, total traffic. Why is

193
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 5: NJM Insurance silent in an industry full of catchy jingles?

194
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 5: And how do they do what's right when things go wrong?

195
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 5: Tune into baffling mysteries to find what.

196
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 3: Boy idiots drop and happy.

197
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: But they have no real impact in this world, unless,

198
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: of course, they're quick enough to make the NFL.

199
00:10:55,280 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 6: The exit one oh five nine.

200
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: Baltimore got killed by Houston at Buffalo at Baltimore rather.

201
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: You know that Cincinnati lost to Detroit at Sincy, but

202
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: there's no shame there. Detroit's real good. Cleveland lost in

203
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: Minnesota at London. Then Cleveland played okay, but the Browns

204
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: is the Browns, so the whole afc.

205
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 3: North lost this week.

206
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: Baltimore's one and four, Cleveland's won and four, Cincinnati's two

207
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: and three, but Burrow is out and they've lost three

208
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: straight and they've quit, and maybe the Ravens have two.

209
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: Having watched both teams play a bit yesterday, so it'd

210
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: be very difficult for the Steelers to not win the division.

211
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: Ten and seven was the AFC North. Nine and eight

212
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: might win the AFC North. You should go six to

213
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: zero in the division stacked on what they've done. That's

214
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: a presumed nine and one right there. Even five and

215
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: one gets you to eight and two you split the

216
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: other games. That's eleven or twelve wins. The Steelers need

217
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: to get the number one seed in the AFC, which

218
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: I think will require thirteen or fourteen wins. It might

219
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: be a little bit out of their range, but I

220
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: don't know who they might. You want to make a

221
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: run in the playoffs, you need that week off in

222
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: the wild card round because you got an old team West.

223
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 3: And I honestly don't think the Steelers are very good.

224
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 3: I don't. I bet you don't really either.

225
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: And they're gonna win the division by default because somebody

226
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: has to. And if it's possible to get the number

227
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: one seed for the same reason, I say, make the

228
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: most of it.

229
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: Why ask why opportunity is knocking.

230
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: I have said that the Steelers will be in control

231
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: of the division by the time they play at Baltimore

232
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: on December seventh. I have no doubt about that that

233
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: they'll be ahead by a game and hopefully two. The

234
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: Steelers host Buffalo on November thirtieth. That's huge, could be

235
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: hope it is.

236
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 6: Uh.

237
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: The Bengals and Ravens, like I said, just look like

238
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 1: they've quit, just get routed every week since Burrow got hurt.

239
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: I think the Cleveland game at Akroshore this sun is

240
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: going to be easier than the Cincinnati game in Sincy.

241
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 3: The following Thursday.

242
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: Like I said, why ask why, opportunity is knocking, So

243
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: give me a call A three three four one two

244
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: thirty nine.

245
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 6: Uh.

246
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield. They were first round picks

247
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: in the same draft. You may recall first and third

248
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: pickover on twenty eighteen. Donald struggled for a long time.

249
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: Baker struggled for a while. But last night they became.

250
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: It became the first game in NFL history last night

251
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: Bucks and Seahawks were both quarterbacks threw for over three

252
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five yards and completed eighty percent or

253
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: more of their passes. Baker Mayfield twenty nine for thirty three.

254
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: That's an eighty eight completion percentage. Three hundred and seventy

255
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: nine yards, Donald twenty eight for thirty four eighty two

256
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: percent three hundred and forty one yards.

257
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 3: Good for those guys.

258
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: Could have been counted out, could have turned into Kenny

259
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: Pickett said, Oh no, not that anything with Kenny Pickett.

260
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: And now they're two real good quarterbacks and they're getting paid.

261
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: Let's go to Tom and Aspinwall or wherever you're from. Tom

262
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: and Hopewell, who cares?

263
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 3: What's up?

264
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 6: Tom?

265
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 4: Hey? Mark, what's up?

266
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 2: I just wanted to get your thoughts on the Buffalo's

267
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 2: Bill game. Do you think that to it? Are gonna

268
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: look better now because they beat the Bills? And do

269
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 2: you think they expose them a little bit?

270
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 3: They didn't expose the Bill. They didn't expose the Bills.

271
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: They just had a real good game and they're an

272
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: improving team and the Bills had a bad game. But

273
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: the Bills will still walk away from that division. Tom,

274
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: I think what might have happened is maybe New England

275
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: a serve notice.

276
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 3: They're going to be in the playoff race. Thank you

Speaker 7: This is your money. Listen all day for your chance.

315
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 7: Has some extra cash on one oh five nine the X.

316
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 3: If you can't get enough.

317
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 8: If you're Pittsburgh Steels, then check out the latest potou.

318
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: You can tell Penguin seasons upon us.

319
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: When my guest is back in this show's saddle calling

320
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: live from New York. A two times Stanley Cup champion.

321
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: He is the old two niner Phil Bourg two nine er.

322
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: Where are you at New York? You walk in the streets.

323
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: I bet you can't give it away on seventh Avenue.

324
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 4: Actually, I'm looking at seventh Avenue right now. We're at

325
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 4: seventh and fifty fourth. It is a absolute maam in

326
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 4: downtown New York. I just literally thirty seconds ago, jumped

327
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 4: off the bus. We just pulled into the hotel and

328
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 4: uh yeah, man, I'll tell you what. There's a there's

329
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 4: a buzz man, there's a buzz on the plane, a

330
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 4: buzz on the bus. So everybody's excited about tomorrow night.

331
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 3: Has them mine.

332
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: And while while I see borky some holes in this

333
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: Penguins roster, it's not as bad as I thought it

334
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: would be, and I see a lot of promise to

335
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: get better.

336
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's hard to really. I mean, we try to

337
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 4: speculate where the team might end up. I don't think

338
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 4: anybody can. I think you're guessing if you can, because

339
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 4: number one, we don't really know how good the goaltending

340
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 4: is going to be. I mean that's safe to say that, right,

341
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 4: there's a giant question mark there. But I think more

342
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 4: than anything else going into the season, I think hope

343
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 4: it's alive. I think it's the first time we can

344
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 4: say there's another wave of players, young, fast, tough players

345
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 4: in the pipeline that are really knocking on the NHL door.

346
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 4: You know when we kept we talked before in the past,

347
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 4: you know, we would say this guy and that guy,

348
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 4: and we were more like just just hope, like really hoping,

349
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 4: like fingers and toes cross that maybe he can crack

350
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 4: the lineup. And now we're seeing it that these young

351
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 4: kids get ready for prime time.

352
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: What are your expectations for Harrison Brunnick on defense at nineteen,

353
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: because defense is a adjustment more than forward, certainly at

354
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: the NHL level.

355
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 4: No, I agree, this gets different though. There's something different

356
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 4: about him Mark He's he just gets it. And even

357
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 4: you know that last home game against Buffalo where he

358
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 4: had a bad turnover and then the next shift on

359
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 4: the ice he scores that great goal from the goal

360
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 4: line and just you know, dusting himself off and went

361
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 4: back to work. He's got great skating ability which can

362
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 4: not only get him out of trouble, but it's it's

363
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 4: tied into his hands and tied into his mind. And

364
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 4: so it's one that we've seen lots of defense and

365
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 4: that can skate well, but they don't have the other

366
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 4: two and intangibles. He's got it all. And I'm not

367
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 4: saying that he's going to be here all season. I

368
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 4: think for the time being, he's going to get a

369
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 4: really good look for those first nine games. But for one,

370
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 4: I'm understanding Mark that Kyle Dubis and the coaches and

371
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 4: the rest of the staff, they're thinking that these guys

372
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 4: are ready for to be here for longer and they're

373
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 4: not worried about burning that first year on the entry level.

374
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 4: That they think, if these guys are good enough, we're

375
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 4: just going to keep them here all year, and if

376
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 4: things happen, you know, at forty games and there's a

377
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 4: tail off, then we can always send them back to junior.

378
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 4: But in the meantime, they have every intention to keep

379
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 4: them here all year, I believe.

380
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: So I think if they play more than nine, you've

381
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: got to keep them here all year.

382
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 3: I think that's the rule.

383
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: But but I would keep brune heure period bork He

384
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: because we've both seen enough major junior to know that

385
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: he's outgrown it.

386
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 4: Well, that's the thing, and that's you know that that

387
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 4: rule is going to change next year where you know

388
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 4: you can put one player to the American Hockey League

389
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 4: one old correct one exempt yeah, one one exemption yeah.

390
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 4: And so you're right, what's he going to accomplish? And

391
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 4: I think that's where you know, not only you know

392
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 4: what seven hundred eight hundred grand of dollars in his

393
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 4: bank account for Gavin McKenna playing for Penn State. But

394
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 4: I think that's what happened to McKenna, right. He figured, listen,

395
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 4: I need to be against men here. I need begin

396
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 4: against guys that have that man strength and and I'm

397
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 4: more closer to the NHL, where you know, in the

398
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 4: Western Hockey League, each team's got maybe two or three

399
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 4: guys that are that type. So you're right, I don't

400
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 4: know what he would accomplish by going back to the

401
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 4: Western Hockey League. And he's better fit for here because

402
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 4: I think that he's got the mind, he's got the skating.

403
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 4: The only thing is is that strength in an eighty

404
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 4: two game schedule.

405
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: I'm glad Kendall made it in eighteen. I think it's

406
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: only till some injured forwards get back. I think he'll

407
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: play the nine games then go. But Kendall earned it,

408
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: had a great training camp, and he's certainly not afraid,

409
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: is he.

410
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 4: You said it, Yeah, that's a that's a great word.

411
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 4: He earned it. And you know, if you remember when

412
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 4: he came to prospect camp, Mark everybody's kind of like,

413
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 4: oh boy, like where is it? You know? And I

414
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 4: think it's just been kind of this slow, gradual, one

415
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 4: step in front of another and adapting and adjusting to

416
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 4: the NHL game. And I think that's what's impressed us

417
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 4: the most is he he hasn't really taken any giant

418
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 4: step backward. Yeah, he had a turnover in that Buffalo game,

419
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 4: but also bounce back and just kept on keeping on.

420
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 4: And so you hope that that confidence and that mental

421
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 4: fortitude continues when he makes bigger mistakes at the NHL level,

422
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 4: because he's going to make them right Mark. But you know,

423
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 4: his size, his size doesn't seem to be a big

424
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 4: factor because you know, it's Ryans me a lot of

425
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 4: Jake Gensel. If you remember when Jake Genzel first came

426
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 4: into the league, he was getting punished, he was getting

427
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 4: absolutely blown up, but he kept bouncing up right, He

428
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 4: kept bouncing right back in and go right back to

429
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 4: the front of the net. And I think that Ben

430
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 4: Kindall kind of has that same, uh, not only mental

431
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 4: toughness but physical toughness that he can endure big hits

432
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 4: and he'll figure out, oh, I can't put myself in

433
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 4: that position again because with my size, I'm not going

434
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 4: to be ill. I'm not going to be here for

435
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 4: a very long time if I keep taking those kinds

436
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 4: of hits, because I think he's got the smarts, the

437
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 4: hockey marks to figure it out quick.

438
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: Now, you mentioned that Kendall has a lot of comm

439
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: with with Gens in terms of approach. I think Coyven

440
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: has a lot of comma with Gensel In even more

441
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: ways than that, I think he could be that kind

442
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: of player. I love that he's going to be on

443
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: the line with Sid. They play that close quarters two

444
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: on two game, don't they.

445
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 4: They do. I actually interviewed Sid today for my pregame

446
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 4: two minute interview and I just asked it about players

447
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 4: that he's played with, and Mark, you've been there the

448
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 4: whole way, You'll know what I'm talking about. Whether it's

449
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 4: Andy Hilbert and Kolbe Armstrong or Pascal Dupuix and Chris Kunis.

450
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 4: I'm not talking about Marion Hosa because Host is a

451
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 4: different animal, right, I'm talking about players that just externally

452
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 4: quick snapshot. You think, ah, he can't play with Sid,

453
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 4: but then once he starts playing with Sid, he figures

454
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 4: out that little give and go game, that little five

455
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 4: to eight pass game. He figures out those little tick

456
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 4: moves you know, on the fore check to read off

457
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 4: of Sid. Of oh, like, he just gave me a

458
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 4: little look. He wants me to go in first, and

459
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 4: then he's gonna roll off of me and just almost

460
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 4: in unison. And it's more between the brains than it

461
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 4: is your actual skill set to try to think and

462
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 4: anticipate what Sid wants. That takes a very special player.

463
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 4: And what I've seen so far, and to be continued

464
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 4: here is Corven has that because number one, he's got

465
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 4: the wheels, okay, so he can keep up with Sid.

466
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 4: Number two he's got the hands to keep up with

467
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 4: the wheels, and number three he's got the mind to

468
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 4: keep up with the other two. And so we'll see

469
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 4: if he can do it on a consistent basis. That's

470
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 4: the challenge because now he's going to be seeing it,

471
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 4: because he's going to be riding let's win with Sid.

472
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 4: He's gonna see the other team's best center, and he's

473
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 4: also going to see the other team's best defense pairing

474
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 4: shift in and shift out, night in and night out,

475
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 4: and that can take a toll on you unless you're

476
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 4: a special player, like we talked about and even Brian Rush.

477
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 4: When Rusty first started playing with Sid, he didn't have

478
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 4: it figured it out right away, but he figured it

479
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 4: out quickly. And you know, the one thing that stood

480
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 4: out in my interview with Sid, it was just about

481
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 4: that those a little closer you talked about proximity passes,

482
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 4: those little eight passes, eight foot passes and the give

483
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 4: and go. Those are things that Sid really stressed you

484
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 4: need to be exceptional at to play with him.

485
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: We're talking to Phil Bork here on the Home of

486
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: the Penguins one oh five ninety x.

487
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 4: Uh.

488
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: You mentioned talking to Sid and I spoke to them

489
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: a bit Friday after the exhibition game, and he seems

490
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 1: energized by the kids.

491
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 3: Do you think that's true?

492
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: Will that carry over to Gino Latang and Eric Carlson.

493
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 4: Let me start with Carlson first. Uh, this is the

494
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 4: best I've seen Eric Carlson plays at Pittsburgh Penguin. And

495
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 4: so maybe a combination of a different coach, a freshet device,

496
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 4: a different voice, and not only Dan Mues, but also

497
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 4: you know Mike Suthers, who's runs the defense, and if

498
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 4: there's some kind of a connection there because I don't

499
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 4: think you have to coddle Eric Carlson, but I think

500
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 4: you do have to coach him a little bit different.

501
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 4: But as far as Gino and Tanger and say they'll

502
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 4: kind of lump them all together, yes, I think all

503
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 4: three of them do get energized by a couple things.

504
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 4: Number one, by young players that can play. They're not

505
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 4: just young players, They're not just young fast players. Young

506
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 4: players that could actually contribute and for Traice a better words,

507
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 4: kind of lighten their load, right mark that they don't

508
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 4: feel like it has to be them to win the

509
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 4: hockey game that on any given night, or maybe they

510
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 4: have their B game or maybe even their C game,

511
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 4: that the young kids are the ones that get them

512
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 4: the two points on any given night. So I think

513
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 4: the three of them really enjoy young players that can

514
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 4: contribute because they were all young players that con contribute

515
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 4: very quickly, right with Letang and obviously sitting in Gino

516
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 4: that it didn't take them to figure out the NHL game,

517
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 4: you know, it didn't take them that long. And I

518
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 4: think they really appreciate young players that figure it out early,

519
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 4: like McGroarty, like Coyven, and like Brunette that they see

520
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 4: a little bit of themselves back when they were, you know,

521
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 4: nineteen twenty twenty one years old.

522
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 1: What we haven't talked about goaltending yet, BORKI, Uh, what's

523
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: your level of faith and Jari and shilloffs? Because I

524
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: think Morishov's their best goalie, but I understand why they

525
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: send him to Wilkes, and in fact I agree with it.

526
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 4: I concur Yeah, I think if you just looked at

527
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 4: the preseason games, then you have to rank your goaltendings.

528
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 4: I think you'll agree with me. It was Marischoff, shea

529
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 4: LOFs and then Jari. But with all that being said,

530
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 4: I still don't know who you're I'm still to find

531
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 4: sure who the goaltender is going to be town night

532
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 4: against the Rangers. I'm just gonna assume Jari, and they're

533
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 4: going to just see if he can run with it

534
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 4: here and then I think they'll quickly go to Shee

535
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 4: Loss if he stumbles at all. And if he continues

536
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 4: to stumble, they sent him down to American League twice

537
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 4: last year, so I don't think they'll hesitate to do

538
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 4: it again and bring Marishoff out here up here. So

539
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 4: it's all that being said, this is another year, you know,

540
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 4: for now Christin Jari in his thirties to be the

541
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 4: We've never denied what kind of talent he has, but

542
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 4: we have questioned the times how he plays the position,

543
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 4: how aggressive or a lack of being aggressive in the

544
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 4: goals going to be aggressive? Focus and its focused right

545
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 4: and right, That focus and that consistency that should be

546
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 4: lined up with the talent, and it just hasn't been

547
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 4: over the years.

548
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: Well, the peng was being more structured and Cincinnati and

549
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: systematic borking with Dan Mws's coach, because I believe that's

550
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: the intent, isn't it.

551
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 4: Yes, here's the word you're gonna hear a lot from

552
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 4: Dan muars and and from your broadcasters too, the word

553
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 4: connected and he uses it all the time. And that's

554
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 4: what and I think that would resonate for me as

555
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 4: a player in that locker room, be connected with my linemates,

556
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 4: be connected with my defense pairing work as a five

557
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 4: man unit. I know these are a little bit cliches,

558
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 4: but they're so true for a team that was a

559
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 4: bit scattered at times on the ice in their defensive

560
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 4: structure in the last couple of years. So I think

561
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 4: the one thing I've noticed in the preseason doesn't matter

562
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 4: who's in the lineup, that when they're playing their best,

563
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 4: that they're connected. It's hard to get through the neutral zone.

564
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,719
Speaker 4: And once we do get through the neutral zone, you

565
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 4: find that there's multiple layers of defense in the Penguins

566
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 4: defensive zone structure, and it's just everybody buying into one thing. Listen,

567
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 4: one of the most overused terms in hockey is systems.

568
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 4: There's not all these crazy systems. Yeah, you can play

569
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 4: man on man, you can play zone. That's that's a

570
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 4: big system thing right there, the way your neutral zone

571
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 4: for check codes, that's the system things. But after that,

572
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 4: there's not all these these you know, hard to understand

573
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 4: type of systems. Everybody kind of uses the same type

574
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 4: of quote unquote system. But for damn muse, the biggest

575
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 4: thing he wants to do, I think is when he's

576
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 4: watching the video, to hit the pause button and be

577
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 4: able to see five Penguins around the puck.

578
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 3: Poor guy.

579
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: I feel like you and I are going to be

580
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: diametrically opposed on this one. I think the most important

581
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: thing this season is to get a talk pick. I

582
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: bet you'd rather sneak into the playoffs.

583
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 4: This is what I want. I don't know if it's

584
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 4: gonna answer your question, I don't. I don't want to

585
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 4: be in the middle, you know what I mean either,

586
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 4: if you're gonna.

587
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 2: Go for it, go for it, man, go all in for.

588
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 4: It and make the playoffs. And listen, I'm if they

589
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 4: lose the first round of the playoffs, I'll be I'll

590
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 4: be okay with that. I just want them to go

591
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 4: for it. But it's if you finish, you know, twentieth

592
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 4: in the league. That's that's It's right, it's the muddy middle, right,

593
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 4: What do you get for that? You know? I mean, listen,

594
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 4: that's that's exactly almost exactly where the New York Island

595
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,719
Speaker 4: is finished. And they worked for them. But that's very

596
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 4: rare that you move up ten spots like they did,

597
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 4: uh and win that kind of the lottery bingo balls

598
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 4: and get a player like Matthew Schaffer. That's very rare

599
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 4: that's gonna happen. So listen, I still I look at

600
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 4: this team on paper. To me, it's the playoff team.

601
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 4: And this isn't me putting on the you know, the

602
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 4: black and gold pomp post.

603
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: But the Eastern Conference is awful. That's what makes what

604
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: you think a wild card.

605
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I still think it's the playoff team that could

606
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 4: absolutely give into the wild card because you're you look

607
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 4: at the even the metro. You talk about the East,

608
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 4: that's one thing, because we don't know what's going on

609
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 4: with Florida. They have a couple of major injuries down there.

610
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 4: You know, Tampa is always going to be relevant, so

611
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 4: is Toronto. Right, you don't know what's going on with

612
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 4: the teams in the other division in the Eastern Conference.

613
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 4: But when you just look at the metro, who's the

614
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 4: best in the Metro? Who's the best? Can you say?

615
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 4: You think I.

616
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: Can tell you this. I don't trust Brendan Moore as

617
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: a coach. I think the Rangers are overrated. I think

618
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: the Islanders don't have a great coach either, although I

619
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: love Patty. I think there's a lot of room to

620
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: move around.

621
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 4: Right, And you're like, nobody saw Washington doing what they

622
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 4: did last year, you know, so why can't the Penguins

623
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 4: do something of like like Washington did? And I know

624
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 4: the answer is going to be goalkender. That's exactly what

625
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 4: it to me. That is the giant question mark of

626
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 4: this season for the Pittsburgh Penguins and where they finished

627
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 4: in the Metro and then East and if they get

628
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 4: to the playoffs, if they can get any kind of

629
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 4: consistent goaltending, I think everything else will be fine.

630
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 3: Porky, What are you planning for tonight in Manhattan?

631
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 4: You know what I'm thinking of doing? I think, Uh,

632
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 4: I need, I need a really cold beverage. I've had

633
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 4: a couple of stressful days, Mark, I need to kick

634
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,719
Speaker 4: off the shoes. I need to get the easy clothes on.

00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 4: And uh, I'm gonna go search for a comedy club

00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 4: Hey, do you think the act by changing the phone

679
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 4: number was a management toxic to force you out?

680
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 3: That's none of your business.

681
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 4: Good enough? Hey, the Steelers, So now that we can

682
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 4: talk playoffs, what do you think we' who do you

683
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 4: think the Steelers can.

684
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 2: Match up with?

685
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 3: Uh?

686
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: Well, put it this way, there are a bunch of

687
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: teams they could play. It would be a death sentence.

688
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: They could never beat Buffalo, even though Kansas City are struggling.

689
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: In a playoff game, Kansas City would torch him. I

690
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: think if they played Baltimore, Baltimore could regroup Baltimore and

691
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: beat him.

692
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 3: I think they'd have a hard.

693
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: Time against Indianapolis, but we'll find that out during the

694
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: regular season. I'm still not convinced this team is very good.

695
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: I just think they're catching a wave. They're getting a

696
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: good circumstance because the division's falling apart.

697
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing, is the season so long.

698
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: The Steelers could be catching their wave now, but then

699
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: Baltimore could catch it in November, just like.

700
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 9: This year has last year in this year are very

701
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 9: mirror in many aspects.

702
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: Now, I have a question for you. Where standing man

703
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: Gabou being your brother?

704
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 4: Uh, he's coaching the defensive line for the Fox Shop

705
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 4: High school football team.

706
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 3: That's your cue. Let's go to Alex. Alex ask Mark anything.

707
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 9: What I mean?

708
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 4: What up? Man? Go?

709
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 2: Uh?

710
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 9: Would you rather see Liverpool win the Champions League and

711
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 9: the Premier League before Van Dijk and Sala leave or

712
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 9: Sid win a cup before he leaves?

713
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: Sid win a cup? Me too, but I think I

714
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: have a better chance at the former. Let's go to

715
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: a talkback, Mark.

716
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 8: Do you still predict the Chiefs won't make it to

717
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 8: the postseason? And do you think it's more likely that

718
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 8: the Steelers win the AFC North or that the Ravens

719
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 8: missed the playoffs?

720
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: Well, the last two aren't necessarily mutually inclusive. I think

721
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: the Steelers will win the AFC North. I think the

722
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs will win the playoffs, although tonight at Jacksonville a

723
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: team on the rise.

724
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 3: That'll tell a tale. One more talkback.

725
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 2: With retirement on your near horizon, are you going to

726
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 2: stay local? Had to Vegas? What's your playing there?

727
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm ever going to retire. I mean,

728
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: I'm going to get more time off all the time.

729
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll retire me when I don't want to, But

730
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm working for another how many months?

731
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: For another twenty two months. We'll see from there. We'll

732
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: see how my health is. My health is always a concern.

733
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm an old, fat guy with two stints. I'm surprised

734
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: I'm still alive now
