1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: Fourth line had a big game, great goal by Door again. 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: A spinner, Rooney spin, a Rooney spin, a rooney my 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: god spin, a Rooney. 4 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 2: Stole that from Jericho? 5 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:12,639 Speaker 3: Uh? 6 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: This six foot eight guy? I mean, can he shoot 7 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: a skyhook? I like what I saw yesterday? And Sid 8 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: and Gino will be back. It's a fun team and 9 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: a likable team, and they are building. That's why it 10 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 1: was good. Dubis didn't make the quick, fixed panic trade 11 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: when Gina got suspended. Keep it organic. That's how you 12 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: get to where you want to go. Not just get 13 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: this twenty eight year old and this thirty year old 14 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: and maybe we'll win eleven games instead of ten, and 15 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: maybe we'll lose the playoff game, but not by as much. 16 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 1: Not that that's the Steelers' game plan, although I described 17 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: what they did today almost exactly. Any hoodles, my name 18 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: is Mark Madden. If you don't love me, I'm sorry? 19 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: Who said that? Where did I steal that from? 20 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 2: Oh? My god? How about this for obscure? If you 21 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 2: don't love me, I'm sorry. 22 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: A porn chick named Savannah said that when accepting the 23 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: Avienn Award for Best Actress like forty years ago, and 24 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: boy was she. 25 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 2: Hot and she killed herself. 26 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: Sad story, great story written about it in Rolling Stone. 27 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: I got a rolling Stone compilation of stories and that's 28 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: very prominently featured and just just so sad. 29 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 2: She was like, how to get up on this tangent? 30 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: She was like seventeen and living with Greg Allman, who 31 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: was like fifty five. Any hoodles back to the Penguins. Penguins, 32 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: I'm I'm just so excited. But we do have a 33 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: lot of Steeler Mania running wild. Dude, we got the 34 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: tampering today, No free agency began today. I'm tired of 35 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: living that lie. And I still think the Steelers need 36 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: a number one wide out. They got Pittman and DK 37 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: now they are not number one and there's none of 38 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: them to sign. I don't think that Dobbs guy from 39 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: Green Bays the number one either. I think he's the'd 40 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: have three number twos, and then again, three number twos 41 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: would be tough for other teams to deal with. It 42 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: would be like when the Vegas gold Knights, as an 43 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: expansion team, had had four second lines. I mean, how 44 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: would you line up against Dobbs, Metcalf and Pittman. But 45 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: I would not they get Dobbs that'd be a lot 46 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: of payroll to spend on whiteout for one thing. So 47 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: I'd like to see him draft a whiteott in the 48 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: first round of the draft, no later than the third round, 49 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: because you you are gonna use three wide outs as 50 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: often as not more often than not in the McCarthy offense. 51 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: And I still don't think they have enough. And I 52 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 2: wish they had a number one. 53 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: What do you think A three, three four one two 54 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: w xdx the number to call? I like, I like, uh, 55 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: the Jamel guy. I'm gonna call him Jamal all the time. 56 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: J Jamel. There, I go Jamel Dean, the cornerback. But 57 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 2: he's thirty. 58 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: I mean it's all right now and McCarthy sixty three, 59 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: and I get all the right now, but I'm tired 60 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: of right now because right now it never turns out 61 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: to be as good as maybe the long run would 62 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: turn out to be if you, if you if you 63 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: planned ahead, and if you did rebuild, and if you 64 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: weren't always worried about nothing besides the next game. But 65 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: that's how they do it. And to that end, you 66 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: got to like the two gets they got today. A 67 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,399 Speaker 1: lot still got to get fixed, like the left side 68 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: of the offensive line with Jones hurt and Siamalu probably leaving, 69 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: although we've not heard that yet today that he was 70 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: gonna walk via free agency. Inside backer to me is 71 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: the Steelers hidden weakness. Peyton Wilson, overrated, Patrick Creane, not 72 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: worth the cap hit of seventeen million. They reapped Cole 73 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: Holcom today, but they think they're good enough, that's for sure. 74 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: By the way, it's funny, I think the Ravens made 75 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: these flash move of the offseason, like Tom said, by 76 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: signing Max Crosby. You know, the Steelers signed a sixty 77 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: three year old head coach and are begging a forty 78 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: two year old quarterback to come back. The Ravens got 79 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: Max Crosby, and they signed a young defensive wizard as 80 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 1: their new head coach. I'm not saying one is better 81 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: than the other, although i know which one I prefer. 82 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: The same people saying that Baltimore gave up too much 83 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: for Crosby are fine with Watt making forty one million 84 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: per year and declining to seven sacks last year. Sere 85 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: thoughts on any or all of that. Eight three three 86 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: four one two WXDX. Now I buried the lead here 87 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: because I met Mike McCarthy at the Penguins game on 88 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: Saturday and spoke with him and a bunch of other 89 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: guys at length in a box at PPG Paints Arena. 90 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: Uh Big Mike was there, Frank Signetty Junior, who's on 91 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: McCarthy's staff. 92 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 2: It was fun. 93 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: Mike's a good guy, Like everybody said, he's more Pittsburgh 94 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: than anybody that's ever lived. He is just Pittsburgh. He 95 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: dripping off it. Uh so we you know, he told 96 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: some Greenfield stories. We shared mutual Bill Freedlick and Dan 97 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: Marino stories. Bert Lott was there, the Steelers media guy. 98 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: He's awesome. D Rizzo two my longtime friend, another Greenfield guy, 99 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: McCarthy's longtime friend. He kind of set everything up. And 100 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: then afterwards I went into Brian Trodier and Dave Hansen. 101 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 2: It was like a who's who. 102 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: And I've not even told you yet about my trip 103 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: to Johnstown, the war memorial, the slapshot ring for Junior 104 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: a hockey on Friday. So we got a lot to 105 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: discuss today. And we still don't know who the Steelers quarterback. 106 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 2: Is going to be. 107 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: I am kind of psyched that Joe Burrows dating Jessica 108 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: album because like he dates a woman we actually see 109 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: out in public once in a while. 110 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 2: One oh five nine the X Doublem one the X. 111 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: If you're just tuning in Steelers with a couple pretty 112 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: decent moves. Today got Michael Pittman, junior sturdy wide out 113 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: from Indy six foot four, eighty catches last year. He's 114 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: twenty eight years old. My complaint is that he's a 115 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: number two wide out and they already have one of 116 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: those in DK Metcalf. I would probably draft a receiver. 117 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: I'd probably draft when in the first round when the 118 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: draft comes to Pittsburgh at the end of April, and 119 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: certainly know later than the third round. Also signed Jamel Dean, 120 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: thirty year old cornerback from Tampa, another sturdy, physical player, 121 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: three years at an average annual value of about twelve mil. 122 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: Michael Pittman would he get I don't even have that 123 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: in front of me, but he got an extension h 124 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: three years fifty nine mils so in average annual value. 125 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: Would just sign at twenty which strikes me as expensive 126 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: for a number two receiver, but not as expensive as 127 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: they're already paying. DK Metcalf. Who's a number two receiver 128 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: getting quarterback money. So that's a couple decent moves. They 129 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: retain Samuel, they lost gain Well, they lost Pierre, they 130 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: kept Holcombe. But I just have the feeling that's gonna 131 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: wind up where it was last year, like ten and 132 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: seven at best, and I lost in the. 133 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 2: First round of the playoffs. 134 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: I feel like they need to make a big move 135 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: like Baltimore did with Max Crosby. I don't feel that 136 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: the Steelers are close enough to have a bunch of 137 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: little moves that up, and they still got to do 138 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: stuff like rebuild the left side of the offensive line 139 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: very potentially, but in a vacuum. I like both of 140 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: their gets. I think Dean is a good counter part 141 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: on the opposite side, the Joey Porter junior. I would 142 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: put Ramsey in the slot where he's probably best, and 143 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: then work it out. 144 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 2: At safety by getting somebody. 145 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: But a lot of people seem to think this indicates 146 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: Ramsey will be full time at safety and Eccles will 147 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: be the slot guy. 148 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 2: So I don't know. 149 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: I think Ramsey is an okay safety. I think he's 150 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: an impact player in the slot. You tell me what 151 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: you think A three three four one two w XDX. 152 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: We've been talking a lot of Penguins. We will do 153 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: so with Matt Barkowski, who's joining me. Excuse me, Bugsy 154 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: malowans up next. Ryan Alone, the former Penguin, joins me 155 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: at three thirty. You see him on sports Net Pittsburgh. 156 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: I went to a junior A hockey game in Johnstown 157 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 1: on Friday at the War Memorial, the slap Shot Rank. 158 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 2: It was so much fun. 159 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 4: Uh. 160 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: The War Memorial has been cleaned up. It looks almost 161 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: exactly the same as it did in the movie. There's 162 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 1: a lot of slap shot memorabilia on display. There's a 163 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: lot of slap shot merchandise on sale. The Johnston Tomahawks, 164 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: the Junior eight team. They gave me a game Jersey 165 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: Madden number twenty six, and the Tomahawks won three to 166 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: one late goal and then an empty net goal. And 167 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 1: they won the next night too, both games against Danbury, Connecticut, 168 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: in a series that had playoff implications with Johnston chasing 169 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: Danbury for the final playoff spot in their division of 170 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: the North American Hockey League. Very intense hockey, very straight line, 171 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: a lot of testosterone in the under twenty division. Great 172 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: atmosphere twenty seven hundred fans. Hockey is important in a 173 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: town like Johnston. That's why I went Hockey's real important there. 174 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: Going to see a game and Johnstown makes you fall 175 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: in love with the. 176 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 2: Game all over again. 177 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: If you want more details, read my column about it 178 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: at TribLive dot com. I think it's a good calm 179 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 1: because it's not just about the same old crap. 180 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 2: Let's go real quick to Rick Rick your own doublem. 181 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 3: Hey, Mark, Hey, I don't disagree at all with your 182 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 3: opinion that we have two number t two's now, But 183 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 3: here's my problem with draft and a so called number 184 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 3: one is one that there wouldn't be enough footballs to 185 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 3: go around, and two would be that these veterans wouldn't 186 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 3: you know, wouldn't respect you know, the new you. 187 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: Know what after a team that hasn't won a playoff 188 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: game in nine years. You know, I don't think anybody 189 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: there should be worried about respecting new guys. And I 190 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: agree it might be overkill, but they don't have a 191 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: number one, and I think you need a number one 192 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: to win in this league. And I think Aaron Rodgers 193 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: needs a number one to have any hope of even 194 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: duplicating what he did last year, another year later, another 195 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: year older, another year more beat up. Assuming it's Aaron 196 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: Rodgers who plays quarterback, let's go to Harry. 197 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 2: Harry, you're on with Mark. 198 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: Mark. Doesn't make sense that they bring in people that 199 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: are actually fifty offense instead of trying to run a 200 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: three tight ended offense. 201 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 2: No, I think it makes sense. 202 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: I think the Arthur Smith there was an unmitigated disaster. 203 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 3: I still think they mitigate a disaster for ten years. 204 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, but Arthur Smith wasn't here for ten years. Yeah, 205 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: and who's to say it will be any better. I 206 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: have no faith in Aaron Rodgers, who's not even committed 207 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: to coming back. He's forty two years old. He's going 208 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: to be grandpa game manager and getting Pittman. Yeah, it's 209 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: a good move. They have two number two receivers and 210 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: we'll see how that works out. Maybe one of them 211 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: can step up, maybe the depth of attack. I think 212 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: if they got a receiver in the first, second, or 213 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: third round of the draft, then you would have the 214 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 1: depth of attack at receiver where you wouldn't need a 215 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: true number one and pop Friarmuth at tight end. On 216 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: top of that and long last use him right, Yeah, 217 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: then you'd be talking Bugsy maloone up next, one oh 218 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: five to nine. 219 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the Woodie Show. 220 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. 221 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 5: We have your chance to join us for the Woodie 222 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 5: Show After Hours takeover at Disney California Adventure Park in Anaheim, California.

Joining me now, 250 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: great player for the Penguins as the best tattoos anywhere. 251 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: You can see him on Sports Net Pittsburgh. He is 252 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: Ryan Malone, Bugsy. Was that comeback win yesterday a season saver? 253 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: Especially with this difficult road trip now pending? 254 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 5: Yeah? 255 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 4: I think so. Again. I think it goes to show 256 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 4: the character of the team really from day one. I 257 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 4: think with news and the coaching staff and management, you know, 258 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 4: expectations of this never give up attitude no matter who's 259 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 4: in the lineup, you know, bang together, playing together, playing smart, 260 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 4: trying to not give up as many chances in the 261 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 4: in the slot, even though Boston had found some holes 262 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 4: there last night. But for the majority of the season, 263 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 4: the Pens have been playing the right way and have 264 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 4: been rewarded for it. 265 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: Is Archer shilloffs the number one goaltender right now, Bugsy 266 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: or at least maybe playing the better of the two. 267 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 4: Uh, yeah, I guess, I mean, I got I think 268 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 4: whoever they really put in there, it's I think both 269 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 4: goals for the majority have made the stops that they 270 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 4: should make. So I really kind of praise really the 271 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 4: team again in front of them for just not giving 272 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 4: up so many of those the great a's as maybe 273 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 4: in years past. So I think they got some good 274 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 4: depth at goalie right now. You just kind of go 275 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 4: with whoever you know, the coaches, no best, who's got 276 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 4: the hot hand to get them over the hump here 277 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 4: to you gets them, you know, get the big guys back. 278 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: If they make the playoffs, though, don't they got to 279 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: pick a guy? 280 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 2: I mean, nobody ever rotates in the playoffs. 281 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I don't know. Skinner was rotating in the 282 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 4: last two years, so maybe Skinner's that's true. 283 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 2: That's true. 284 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: Like put it this way, when a goal he played 285 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: bad and Evanton the other one went in and Skinner 286 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: played better than the other guy. 287 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 4: Pitcard Yeah, yeah, So I mean again, I definitely think 288 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 4: you go with the hot hand when it comes to 289 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 4: playoff time. But again, that's why I think there's that 290 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 4: good competitive position. There's not just one guy. He knows 291 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 4: he's the guys. Both guys are kind of getting pushed 292 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 4: to be that number one guy, so hopefully you can 293 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 4: get great performances out of both of them. 294 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: Anthony Manthon got a couple of goals, and he tied 295 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: the game twice. He really fueled the comeback. He's up 296 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: to twenty three goals now. Buggsy, he's six', five but 297 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: he plays more finesse than. Big i'm not knocking him for, 298 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: that but, boy he has some set of, hands doesn't. 299 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 4: He oh, YEAH i think.

YEAR i 301 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 4: think we're one of the top lines in the league, 302 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 4: personally just because both those guys are so smart and so. 303 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 4: Big being able to use their bodies to kind of 304 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 4: make the high percentage play AND i kind of Let, 305 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 4: gino you, know Be geno and be creative to open up. 306 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 4: Space but for For mantha to really to come in 307 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 4: here and have a great year TO i, mean you 308 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 4: really look At dubass all his moves that he's, made 309 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 4: especially The gina COOF i, mean, geez he's really got 310 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 4: himself in a great staff there that have brought in 311 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 4: some great players make an. 312 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: Impact now you're six four and you played a big, 313 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: game and you were a banger, Too but but at that, 314 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: size it's not just about, banging is.

END 336 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 4: i think all the year if you really look at 337 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 4: really the fourth line has probably been one of the 338 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 4: more productive fourth lines in the. League they kind of 339 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 4: suck with these, guys they've they've really been, together so 340 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 4: they have that good. Chemistry but it seems like any 341 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 4: time The penguins are starting to get any go on that, 342 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 4: slide that line always provides an extra spark in one 343 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 4: way or. Another and that was just a great individual. Effort, 344 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 4: again you, Know doers probably chopping at the, bit probably 345 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 4: even for some more ice time to get more. Opportunities 346 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 4: so he's definitely put himself in a position that he 347 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 4: can handle that it looks like that. 348 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 2: Fourth line with lazot do or in a chari that's a. 349 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: PHENOMENON i, MEAN i hate to get married to a 350 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: fourth line because if you've got to adjust the first three, 351 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: lines that comes. First but those three guys are terrific, 352 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: fit wouldn't you? 353 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 2: Say? 354 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 4: Yeah and usually you have obviously more of the maybe 355 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 4: a specified fighter you, know is on that fourth line. 356 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 4: Role but, AGAIN i think they do it by committee 357 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 4: to create and change the momentum just by their for 358 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 4: check and the little details how they work. Together you, 359 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 4: know it's kind of two, guys you, know maybe the 360 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 4: first guy's angling the defense on the back end where 361 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,239 Speaker 4: they had the second guy kind of really hopping in 362 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 4: there as. Well kind of good stick leading stick on 363 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 4: puck first, Mentality so guys don't have time and space 364 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 4: to get the easy clears and easy, breakouts and then 365 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 4: they've been generated a lot of offense by just hard 366 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 4: work and that. Determination againting playing hockey the right. Way 367 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 4: you always kind of hear guys talk about that in postgame. 368 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 4: Interviews you, know, hey we last, night but we played 369 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 4: the right. Way we know it's going to come sooner or, 370 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 4: later you, know by thinking defense defense, first making the 371 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 4: other team cout two hundred feet to kind of create 372 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 4: their offense instead of turnovers at the blue line and 373 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 4: some of those. Things but that fourth line has been 374 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 4: playing very, smart has done an excellent job this. Year 375 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 4: that's where that extra depth this year has really helped 376 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 4: put The penguins in the position they're. 377 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: In we're talking To Maryan malone here on The home 378 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: of The penguins one five NINETY.

Better but for the most, PART 408 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 4: i think all year has kind of been by committee, 409 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 4: again with The penguin stepping up and doing whatever it 410 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 4: takes to. Win all those guys are willing to block the, 411 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 4: shots take the hit to make the, play and then, obviously, 412 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 4: yeah make sure they're protecting the crease as.

Are but they play 438 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: such a simple, style. Bugsy they man up whenever the 439 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: puck turns, over and they put every puck they can on. 440 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 2: NET i Mean Miko. 441 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 1: Rantan got, there SAID i don't want to play this. 442 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: Way he got traded.

Season SO i, mean when you're 450 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 4: your coach is beeding away uh in this in this 451 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 4: level of health and, fitness so he's, like, Hey i'm 452 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 4: challenging you guys to play one on. One so in 453 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 4: THEIR d zone they do a lot of man on man, 454 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 4: coverage just kind of unheard of just because of how 455 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 4: skilled the offensive guys are these. Days but they you, 456 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 4: know they're out there to take away time and, space 457 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 4: and as you, said they keep it simple in the 458 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 4: ozone and they just try to roll four lines and 459 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 4: wear you down and eventually they're. Hoping you know that 460 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 4: good defense leads to their, offense AND i, WAS i 461 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 4: think their top three and you, know four goal. Periods 462 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 4: so now they added some other offensive pieces elers over 463 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 4: the offseason and A nino de laureer at the treadline 464 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 4: just for some extra. Toughness but they got a great 465 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 4: group of guys that have battled the last few years 466 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 4: in the, playoffs have came up, short AND i think 467 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 4: they've definitely added some good. Pieces and now With bussy 468 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 4: the goalie that kind of came out OF noe off 469 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 4: waivers to really help them and solidify that goaltending, pieces 470 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 4: which is always kind of the question. Mark so he's 471 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 4: been playing great and as you, know when you get 472 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 4: a good, goalie anything can. Happen so they're definitely gonna 473 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 4: be dangerous here coming out of these what's. 474 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: The lift going to be like When sid comes back 475 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: and for that, matter When gino comes back from, suspension 476 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: because if. 477 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 2: You survive without, them it's not like adding new. 478 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: Players they're obviously long Time, penguins but you get my, 479 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: drift it's it's definitely a. 480 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 4: Burst oh, definitely that's like the big pickup at the trade. 481 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 4: Down you can manage it and keep the shift to. 482 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 4: Float without those, guys you, know it's just a huge 483 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 4: boost when they come back. In and THEN i believe, 484 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 4: too that's where those special teams this year have been 485 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 4: so important in The penn's power. PLAY i believe it's 486 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 4: been in the top five all. Season, Right they've done 487 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 4: a great. Job they're you, know getting that extra, goal 488 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 4: and that's where in years passed as, well the power 489 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 4: play hasn't been clicking as, well and you know we 490 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 4: come up short because even the years past five or 491 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 4: five on five play was actually very. Solid so now 492 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 4: this year they're kind of putting it all.

Jobs and as a, player that's all you're 498 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 4: kind of asking for what CAN i do to help 499 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 4: the team if his penalty, kill fourth line play simple 500 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 4: or its chinikoff you, know you, know score, goals whatever. 501 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 4: Is they seem like they have a great group of 502 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 4: guys in chemistry of these pieces that are a playoff. 503 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 2: Team when that's. 504 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: Day what About Eric carlson the way he's, played in Particular, 505 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: bugsy how great he's been on the penalty. 506 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 2: KILL i had no idea he was good At. 507 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: Dad he never got a chance to do it here 508 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: anyway until this, year but he's really. Responded he he's 509 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: their second most valuable player this, YEAR i would, say 510 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 1: After Sid. 511 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 4: Yeah AND i SOMETIMES i think it's the reset with the, 512 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 4: coaches and sometimes you, know you get here or to 513 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 4: a new, place and you know you have the big 514 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 4: contract and you're the, star and you think you have 515 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 4: to do these amazing plays and you, know, sassa two 516 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 4: guys skates and all these hard. Plays BUT i thought 517 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 4: he's really simplified his game and just kind of taken 518 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 4: what the other team has given. Them so if they 519 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 4: give them that simple, pass he's just you, know it's 520 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 4: easy for him to put it on the. Tape but 521 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 4: some of those guys gets boring almost playing that. Simple 522 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 4: and his HOCKEY iq is WHERE i think the, magic 523 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 4: especially on that penalty, kill for him to anticipate where 524 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 4: the play is headed and then you, know taking away 525 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 4: everyone's time and. Space that's the big thing in The 526 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 4: National Hockey league with those skilled, players if you can 527 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 4: take away their time in, space, uh you have a 528 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 4: better chance of defending. Them so he's definitely stepped his 529 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 4: game up and he's definitely a reason why they're in the. 530 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 4: Spot they Are. 531 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 2: Buggsy this team has me. 532 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: Optimistic it has me, excited as long as we don't 533 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: go into a shootout. 534 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 2: Ever, again what a night on.

It BUT i, 567 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 4: mean you, know maybe that we can send some positive 568 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 4: vibes next time and change it. 569 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: Up. Well i'm not a Big zegris fan BECAUSE i 570 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: think he's a little cheap out there for a guy 571 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: who wouldn't drop his gloves of his life depended on. 572 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: It but he's shooting sixty six percent on the. 573 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 2: Shootouts. 574 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: Bugs he scored again In pittsburgh On saturday, night AND 575 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: i got told that when he comes across the blue, 576 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: line he looks at the goalie and if the goalie's staying, 577 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 1: back he has one. Plan if the goalie comes out 578 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: of the, blue he has another plan and he just 579 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: sticks to it every.

DECISIVE i, mean you took, shootouts what do you. 581 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 4: Think, YEAH i, mean that's that's really that.

Plan and he does a good job of 584 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 4: going way out to the boards and then cutting, across 585 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 4: so the goalie has to match his, speed stay on his, 586 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 4: angle AND i mean there's just so much going into. 587 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 4: It but again it's kind OF i think as a shooter, 588 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 4: wise you want to simplify it and just read what 589 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 4: the goalie gives. You and when he comes in from that, 590 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 4: angle the goalie has to slide, over so we know 591 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 4: that the legs have to open up at some. Point 592 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 4: mario was the best at. It, yeah getting goalies to 593 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 4: open their. Legs you're just waiting for.
