1
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: On Twitter, somebody suggested that O'Neil Cruz was similar to

2
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: George Pickens.

3
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 2: I don't think that's true.

4
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: I think there's a bit of a comparison in that

5
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: they're both stupid. But I think Pickens is just an

6
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: ass on top of being stupid. Cruise is just unfocused.

7
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a different path than the same destination. Although Pickens, boy,

8
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: he did great in Dallas and did pretty good here

9
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, O'Neil Cruse in his baseball career has only

10
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: had mere flashes.

11
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 2: Any hoodles.

12
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: The Pirates won two out of three at New York

13
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: and visited Cincinnati for the first game of a three

14
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: game series tonight before returning home for the home opener

15
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: at PNC. Ashcraft Is could have pitched tonight, and I'm

16
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: anxious to see what he got. And while already this

17
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: season we talk way too much about O'Neill Cruz, but

18
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: I can solve that. I'd put him on the payno

19
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: Mine list if you can't trade him, bench them play

20
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: Jake Mangum in stead. He can field, he could run,

21
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: and he competes. Ops is the one big number in

22
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: baseball right on base percentage plus slugging percentage. Add them

23
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: both together, and we know how good a baseball player is.

24
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: Right well, Mangum last year at Tampa was a twenty

25
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: nine year old rookie outfielder.

26
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: His OPS was six ninety eight.

27
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: Cruz, who made his major league debut in twenty twenty one,

28
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: his OPS last year was lower than Mangum's.

29
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: It was six seventy six.

30
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: Just bench Cruz play, Mangum, forget about Cruise. Cruz doesn't

31
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: play winning baseball. He's a dummy. He's lazy.

32
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: O'Neill.

33
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: Cruz will always let you dom and you talk about

34
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: his potential. At twenty seven, Otani won his second MVP.

35
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: Cotch won the MVP at twenty six and finished third

36
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: in the voting at twenty seven.

37
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: At twenty seven, he was already a four time All Star.

38
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: Roberto Klemene three time All Star twenty seven. Really Stargell

39
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: three time All Star twenty seven. Now nobody's expecting Cruz

40
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: to be Otani, coach, Clemente Stargel, et cetera. But he

41
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: only hit two hundred last year. He's lackadaisical and casual,

42
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: as I've heard it say, he's dum dump O'Neill. Cruz

43
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: is what he is, He's realized whatever potentially has and

44
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: at eight much if you can't trade him, bench him,

45
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: I will say Cruise was in on that relay that

46
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: throughout the tying one at home yesterday. Cruise de tre

47
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: all hell to Davis, but you gotta be more than occasional.

48
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: This thing was brought to us by eighty four Armber Dynasty,

49
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: partner of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

50
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 2: You know what gives me pissed?

51
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: We got a huge hockey game tonight and nobody's talking hockey.

52
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: Nobody's calling to talk about Penguin's Islanders. You don't want too?

53
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: Fine?

54
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: If I don't get hockey calls, I'm gonna stop talking

55
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: about hockey till Subway Hockey Night Subway. That's a few

56
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: sponsors ago. Forgive me until the Hockey Night Show.

57
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: At five point thirty. I mean, what does it take

58
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: to talk about hockey?

59
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: Should I just talk about Aaron Rodgers all the mfing

60
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: time like the other guys do? If you want me to,

61
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: I will, because at this point I really don't care

62
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: about doing this. You can probably tell them I shouldn't

63
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: say it, but I really don't care about doing this,

64
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: and I still do great anyway.

65
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: Eight three three four one two wxdx.

66
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 3: Uh.

67
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: Pirates winning that game yesterday in New York after dropping

68
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: the first two.

69
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: That was big.

70
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: You don't want to start out oh and three, not

71
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: least after that horrific start on Thursday, the opener New

72
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: York where Cruise made those two little league misplays in

73
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: the first inning and Schemes got knocked out of the box. Uh,

74
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: after just two thirds of an inning. You didn't want

75
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: to start owen three. As I said earlier, you can't

76
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: make the playoffs in April, but you can make sure

77
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: you miss the playoffs in April and an owing three start. Yeah,

78
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: it's only three out of one hundred and sixty two.

79
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: But let me go on record again. And I forget

80
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: what figure what my line of demarcation was last year.

81
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: But if the Pirates go I'm not gonna say sit five.

82
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: Maybe no.

83
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 4: Uh.

84
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: If the Pirates at some point go six games under

85
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: five hundred, they'll never be above five hundred rest the season.

86
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: Because I don't believe this team's capable of putting together

87
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: like a six, seven, eight, nine, ten game winning streak.

88
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: But I do think they can put together that sort

89
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: of losing streak, as we saw on Thursday when Cruz

90
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: let down Skeens in the exod at early. I said

91
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: before the season that if Cruz starts thirty two games,

92
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: excuse me, Skeens starts thirty two games.

93
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: They got to win twenty four of those.

94
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: Last year they were just seventeen and fifteen in game

95
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: Skiings started, and they his record was ten and ten.

96
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: So you gotta win when Skeen's pitches, and right now

97
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: they're zero to one. Win Skeens pitches. He's on one

98
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: with an ERI up above sixty.

99
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: Not his fault. You might say, yeah, those are still

100
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 2: the stats.

101
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: You ever noticed that about stats in any sport, in

102
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: baseball in particular, the stats mean everything until they make

103
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: a guy you like look bad. Then well it's about

104
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: more than stats. I still can't it over baseball players

105
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: talking behind their gloves dumb. I still can't get over

106
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: ABS people saying it's working when they could get every

107
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: call right by using ABS on every pitch. Okay, when

108
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: Reynolds struck out in the fifth inning yesterday and two

109
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: of the three strikes weren't strikes, don't tell me ABS

110
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: is working.

111
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,239
Speaker 2: It's not. Let's go to Rich.

112
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: Rich on you good after them marks are gone? I said, great,

113
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: turn your radio gun, turn your radio gun.

114
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, okay, go, I just.

115
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 5: Wanted you on goalie situation.

116
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 6: With the playoffs coming up, are you do you first

117
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,799
Speaker 6: sticking with who's got.

118
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 4: The hot hand? Or do you like the sub in?

119
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: So you know, ge Lergy, I'll let you know when

120
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: one of them gets a hot hand.

121
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: You know, you know what I mean.

122
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: I know that mus broke the rotation and started Skinner

123
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: two straight games, but that was kind of forced. It's

124
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: like he was trying to to jump start Skinner to

125
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: be a number one goalie, and against Dallas he proved

126
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: that he's not. And Shilloffs has never been a number

127
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: one goalie in this league. So I have no confidence

128
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: in either goalie to be a hot hand. That's not

129
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: to say that that well again, broken record, click, broken record, click.

130
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: I'd call out morisof click. Call it morisof click, call

131
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: it morisof click. This is Chuck telling built this shut up,

132
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: to shut up, to shut up. I'd call it morisof

133
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,239
Speaker 1: let's go to the injur lying.

134
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 4: What's up?

135
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 7: Like sexy?

136
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 4: What up? Mine? Uh?

137
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 6: Well, First of all, the hockey talk, you should keep

138
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 6: doing it no matter what. Second, and if the Penguins

139
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 6: somehow losing regulation tonight, the discourse you feel will probably

140
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 6: be like panic, panic, panic around the team.

141
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: No, no, not not not around the team, not not

142
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: in the locker room.

143
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: It won't be panic, for sure, it won't be.

144
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: This group is misguided in some regards, like like you know,

145
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: they they trust the veteran goalies where you know, if

146
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm Sidney Crosby, I'm I'm kind of sidling into Dupus's

147
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: office and saying that Morrishoff should be brought up. But

148
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: it's not a dressing room given to panic. I can

149
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: guarantee that.

150
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 8: Good to know.

151
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: Let's go to David David Drome with double M.

152
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 9: Hey Mark, good to hear from me again, I haven't

153
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 9: called it in a while. Cooked your well, just what

154
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 9: wanted to say about tonight's game? Would you potentially adjust

155
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 9: the lines of cities out just to try to provide

156
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 9: a spark, like I would maybe try to put Kindle

157
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 9: in between Raquel and Rust.

158
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but if sid and Gino aren't playing, then they're

159
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: gonna put Riquel at center.

160
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, I got you.

161
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 9: I just kind of don't like that, but I want to.

162
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: Well, Sid's the only one playing center. Gino's long since

163
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: been moved a wing. But that's what they've been doing,

164
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: is putting Raquel at center, and I don't want to

165
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: put too much of a burden on Kindle. I think

166
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: he's played very well, but I think every time they've

167
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: tried that like him. Between Raquel and Rust and Sid's absence,

168
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: he's done his best, but but it wasn't much, so

169
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 1: I would I would leave him with the I mean

170
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: I liked him between the Twin Towers, but uh, I

171
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, like when Sid and Gina we're

172
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: both out BRUV. I'm not so sure there is an answer,

173
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: what say you?

174
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't think there is either.

175
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 4: But I think don't.

176
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: Forget those lots out too. That's another center out.

177
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think the most the fine thing about the

178
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 9: Night of Steel have just scared me.

179
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: I think they're screwed. I mean, if you make me pick,

180
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: I think they're losing to Night. If Sid doesn't play,

181
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: they lose, for sure, for sure they lose. If Sid

182
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: doesn't play, you can't overcome and overcome and overcome and

183
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: overcome in definitely, absences catch up to you, and bad

184
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: goaltending has already caught up to them. I shouldn't say bad,

185
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: but the goaltending has not been good enough. Thank you

186
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: for the calmn. But you got Scott Burns, I talk

187
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: and even more hockey at four thirty. We got the

188
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: Hockey Night Show. At five thirty. I'm Mark Madden one

189
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: oh five nine.

190
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: I see a lot of Cutch talk. He's hitting four

191
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 2: forty four with the home run for Texas, four for nine.

192
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 10: Oh.

193
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: They never should have got rid of cuts. They didn't

194
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: get rid of them. They just didn't re up them.

195
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: It wasn't like you got cut and at some point

196
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: you got to turn the page. People just don't want

197
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: things to change. Ever, they don't want their favorite players

198
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: to get old. And if you dump them, or they

199
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: retire or they get cut, I guess dumping and getting

200
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,599
Speaker 1: cut of the same thing. But that is confirmation that

201
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: they're old. But you gotta move on. The logo is

202
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: what matters. I'm amazed how many sports fans, not just

203
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, but how many sports fans don't get that

204
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: the logo is what constant most that you should be

205
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: true to the logo because the logo never retires, The

206
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: logo never gets cut, the logo never gets traded. The

207
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: logo is what matters. And I like the Mangam kid.

208
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: I would start him head a cruise and boy would

209
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: you see the boo boo face on cruise if he

210
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: didn't start there was the boo boo face, I thought

211
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: when they showed shots of him in the dugout when

212
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: he got benched on Saturday. I just don't see the

213
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: upside just starting him. I don't see the upside for

214
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: waiting still longer for him to realize his potential because

215
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: he's not gonna I don't see the upside in lead

216
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: a guy with the superior ops, superior hustle, superior defense,

217
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: and comparable legs on the bench now Mangham don't have

218
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: the same kind of power.

219
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 2: In fact, he don't have any power.

220
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: Had what was it, three home runs last year, But

221
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: you're trying to win, right, I'd play Mangum.

222
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 2: Ain't got no.

223
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: Phone calls about my Tiger Woods monologue, of course, because well,

224
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: I'm the other one who will talk about Tiger Woods.

225
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm the other one who'll write the column like I

226
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: did today in the trip about Tiger Woods. He's a

227
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: bad guy. He's a pill head, he's a hormonger, he's

228
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: an adulterer. He endangers people with driving impaired, and everybody

229
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: still loves him. As I mentioned earlier, if it was

230
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 1: Britney Griner with the second DUI and a fourth car crash,

231
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: the right would want her back in a Russian prison.

232
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: If this was Kurt Schilling with the second DUI, a

233
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: fourth car wreck and driving in paired, the left would

234
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: want to gag him with his bloody sock. But people

235
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,719
Speaker 1: left Tigers. He can do whatever he wants and he

236
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: ain't going to jail. I mean, technically the law. He's

237
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: not liable to go to jail the way I read

238
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: Florida statutes that it's his second d UI. But enough

239
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: times past where he won't go to jail. Bit he should,

240
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: and why doesn't he employ a driver? Put a driver

241
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: on call? Twenty four to seven? He's worth one point

242
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: five billion. Let's go to John, John your own with double.

243
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 3: M Hey, Mark, how are you doing great?

244
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 8: All her?

245
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 11: Listen question for you on like their draft when the

246
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 11: Penguins draft, since the goalie situation is where it's at,

247
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 11: I mean they're not bad, but they're not good. Do

248
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 11: you think that it would concertition? Then maybe draft a goalie.

249
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 2: You don't pay attention at all, do you.

250
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: I what's that They have a twenty one year old

251
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: fien On goalie at Wilkes named Sergei Morrishoff, and they

252
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: drafted a goalie I think in the fifth run last

253
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: year named Gabriel Daig who's playing in Quebec, that they

254
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: think very highly of.

255
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: So no, it will not mean drafting a goalie anything else.

256
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, I just want to say I think you're very knowledge.

257
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 4: Of all five hockey.

258
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 11: I think the only other person who knew as much

259
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 11: hockey as you did is Stan Savernon. Unfortunately he's passed away,

260
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 11: but I think it's great to look you through on

261
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 11: the radio. I listen to your data.

262
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: Well, thank you very much. If it makes you feel

263
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: any better, I'll probably be dead soon too. Thank you

Speaker 1: New York, and an extra tight race for the playoffs

282
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: spots in the Eastern Conference. Also a strange thing going

283
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: on in Vegas with that coaching change. Joining me now

284
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: to talk about all of it is the great hockey

285
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: writer Scott Burnside. Scott, Who's gonna make the playoffs in

286
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference. I'm talking about second and third in

287
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: the Metro and the wild cards. It's it's too close

288
00:15:59,080 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: to call, but try in.

289
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 4: I thought you would start with something easy, you know,

290
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 4: like world peace or you know, something like that, because

291
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 4: I have to tell you, Mark, the situation in the

292
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 4: Eastern Conference is fluid, to say the least, and so

293
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 4: I am I am going to head my bets a

294
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 4: little bit here, but I I really, I really don't know.

295
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 4: And it's to me, it's it's such a great story

296
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 4: because there are so many teams with so many strong narratives,

297
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 4: you know, I think of the Ottawa Senators, who you know,

298
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 4: have had really terrific analytic numbers and have been a

299
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 4: good team without the you know, outside of the sole

300
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 4: exception of the goaltending. Really, and I don't mean this

301
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 4: as a slight on lead us all Mark at all,

302
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 4: but the goaltending hasn't been really good enough all season.

303
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 4: If it had been better, they'd likely have been locked

304
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 4: into a playoff spot in the Atlantic, but they lurked

305
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 4: just outside the bubble, the Columbus Blue Jackets. To me,

306
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 4: it's such a great story. You go back to, of course,

307
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 4: the good growth tragedy at the start of last season

308
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 4: and Don Wodell coming in as a GM and making

309
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 4: a you know, I think you alluded to the shocking

310
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 4: coaching move in Vegas. But you know, the I think

311
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 4: an equally bold move was the firing of Dean Evison

312
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 4: one like a lot and bringing in Rick Bonus, right,

313
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 4: I mean, a guy who just he seems to be

314
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 4: the coach whisperer, right, and and no one will talk

315
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 4: about the future. And I don't think it matters to

316
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 4: Rick Bonus. But what a turnaround there. But they are

317
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 4: in a mini swoon now. Looked like they were, you know,

318
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 4: ad a chance to overtake the Penguins for second place

319
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 4: in the Metro. Now they're clinging to the last wild

320
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 4: card spot. Meanwhile, the Islanders are in second, just slightly

321
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 4: one point ahead of the Penguins, and I know we're

322
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 4: gonna get to the Penguins at some point. I was

323
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 4: looking at the stats from March first on Penguins exactly

324
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 4: five hundred offensively and on the power play, still you know,

325
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 4: a dangerous team, But defensively in terms of goals allowed

326
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 4: per game and the penalty kill, they just haven't been

327
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 4: good enough. And so this is a monster week for

328
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 4: the Penguins, very tough competition starting with tonight. So I'm

329
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 4: curious to see how the Penguins respond haven't really got

330
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,239
Speaker 4: around to answering your question, have that, but I do

331
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 4: like i'd like the Senators. I'm just not sure that

332
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 4: there's a spot for them. If there is, it looks

333
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 4: like it will be at the expense of the Columbus

334
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 4: Blue Jackets. But I don't see the Islanders or the

335
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 4: Penguins falling out of where they are in the metro.

336
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 4: Maybe the Penguins get back into homeice advantage in Boston,

337
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 4: a team that, again at times this season looks like

338
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 4: they you know, like a lot of us thought they

339
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 4: were gonna be, which was a non playoff team and

340
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 4: maybe closer to a draft lottery team, but boy, they

341
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 4: just they win when they really need to win. They've

342
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 4: won three in a row, now own the top wildcard

343
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 4: spot and now opened a four point bulch over Columbus

344
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 4: and actually have a chance to get back into the

345
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 4: top three in the Atlantic Division. Then, So I don't

346
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 4: think Boston's gonna fall out, and that's gonna mean if

347
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 4: it falls this way, very difficult questions for Steve Eiserman.

348
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 4: The Detroit Red Rings once again in Philadelphia's that nice

349
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 4: stretch here, but you know, couldn't get into the top eight.

350
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 4: I don't think they will, so it is, but it's

351
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 4: gonna be a wild three weeks to the end of

352
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 4: the regular season.

353
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: Let's rolled down a bit deeper on the Penguins, who

354
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: are at Queen's tonight to play the Islanders. No Geno

355
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: for sure, maybe no sid And that's the chink in

356
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 1: the armor, I mean very obviously, you can only overcome

357
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: so much for so long, and they've been missing a

358
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 1: lot of key players for a lot of games in

359
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: the second half of the season.

360
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's really unfortunate for the Penguins, and

361
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 4: having been in Milan covering the Olympics and just felt

362
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 4: so badly for Sidney Crosby that he wasn't able to

363
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 4: finish that tournament. And of course Canada losing in the

364
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 4: gold medal game to Team USA and overtime. It's a

365
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,719
Speaker 4: mugs game. But you have to wonder, you know, had

366
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 4: Sidney Crosby been able to play in that game, does

367
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 4: it change certainly changes how John Cooper handles his bench,

368
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 4: Maybe it changes the outcome of that game. And so

369
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 4: for him to be able to, you know, to to

370
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 4: miss the end of that tournament, and obviously some games

371
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 4: coming back after the break and then to get hurt again,

372
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 4: that's critical. It does sound though like most both of

373
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 4: getting milk and then Sidney Crosby skating. So presumably not

374
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 4: that I'm a doctor or even play one on TV,

375
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 4: but presumably they'll both get back in the lineup. But

376
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 4: you hope it's not too late for a Penguin team

377
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 4: to hang on to Uh. You know what what I

378
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 4: think is it would be for many an unexpected playoff

379
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 4: birth in the Eastern Conference. And you know, the other

380
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 4: player that a lot of people were talking about in

381
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 4: Milan again, I thought Eric Carlson had a good tournament

382
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 4: with Team Sweden. Disappointing outcome for them, but what a

383
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 4: what a terrific season for him in Pittsburgh and Mark

384
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 4: when you mentioned, you know, the absence of Getty Malcolins absence,

385
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 4: whether it's from injury or from self inflicted suspension wounds,

386
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 4: and Sidney Crosby's more recent absences. You know, Eric Carlson

387
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 4: has played such an important role with keeping this team

388
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 4: in a playoff spot, and I do think they are

389
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 4: going to be a playoff team and it's gonna be

390
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 4: fascinating to see if they are all healthy. You know

391
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 4: what this aging Penguin core can do with you know

392
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 4: what might be sort of one last hurrah on the postseason.

393
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 2: Where do you.

394
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: Weigh in on the Penguin's goaltending. I don't think it's

395
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: been very good, especially not lately. And I would have

396
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: caught up the Russian kid morishof a week or ten

397
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: days ago.

398
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I you know what, there's I think there's probably

399
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 4: you know on the yun and yang of that if

400
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 4: you if you do that and now it looks like

401
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 4: a three man rotation if you're if you're trying to

402
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 4: you know, find out what your best options are, you know,

403
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 4: obviously down the stretch in the final ten or twelve

404
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 4: games to you know, solidify your playoff position and then

405
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 4: come playoff time, you know, does it does it impact

406
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 4: the confidence of the goaltenders themselves, you know, whether it's

407
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 4: Matt Murray or she Loves Does it change the dynamic

408
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 4: in the room? And you know, this is the interesting

409
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 4: part for Dan News is he goes through his first

410
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 4: NHL season as a head coach that the yins and

411
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 4: yangs of such a long season and a season where

412
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 4: you know, this is a team that hasn't made the

413
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 4: playoffs the last few years, so you know, the pressure

414
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 4: to be in the top eight. You know, does that

415
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 4: change how you approach your goaltending. I mean, I'm with

416
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 4: you there. They're one of I believe they're thirty first

417
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 4: in the NHL since March first in goals allowed per game.

418
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 4: That's not all on goaltending. A lot of it is

419
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 4: structure and defensive play, all those kinds of things. But

420
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, you have to have

421
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 4: a goaltender come April eighteenth. I mean, you're likely going

422
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 4: to play the New York Islanders or you know, maybe

423
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 4: whoever you're going to end up playing in the in

424
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 4: the first round that you have a high at least,

425
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 4: you know, a moderate degree of comfort in to make

426
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 4: that start, and hopefully you have a higher degree of

427
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 4: comfort than that. So you know, maybe that's something where

428
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 4: you you know, you've been reticent maybe to introduce the youngster,

429
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 4: who I admit it has shown such you know, interesting

430
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 4: signs when he's had those brief opportunities, So you know,

431
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 4: and maybe you know, do you see something in the

432
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 4: last couple of weeks that changes that dynamic. But my

433
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 4: guess is that my guess is that it's you know

434
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 4: that Matt Murray guy, right, I mean, Matt Murray has

435
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 4: has been there, certainly lots of ups and downs to

436
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 4: his last couple of years in Edmonton. But there is

437
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 4: a man who played in back to back Stanley Up

438
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 4: final series, played into game seven in a Stanley Cup

439
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 4: final two years ago and was outstanding. My guess is

440
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 4: he'll be the guy to go. Stuart Skinner story Stuart Skinner. Yeah, sorry,

441
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 4: my mistake, Stuart Skinner. And then you know the question

442
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 4: for Dan Ues and his coaching staff is you know

443
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 4: how long is is Stuart Skinner's leap.

444
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: We're talking to Scott Burns here on one O five

445
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: to nine the X Scott, what the heck happened in Vegas?

446
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 1: I can't believe Torts is back coaching. I can't believe

447
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: Vegas did that. And I wonder what say Mitchell Marner thinks.

448
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 4: But day I was a bit, I was more than

449
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 4: a bit shocked when I saw the news at Brustasidy

450
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 4: had been replaced his head coach, and John Tortorella was

451
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 4: sort of coming out of you know, semi retirement. I

452
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 4: suppose to take over for the Golden Knights is interesting.

453
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 4: I saw both those guys pretty regularly in Milan. Of course,

454
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 4: John Tortorella part of Mike Sullivan's coaching staff with Team USA,

455
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 4: and Bruce Cassidy on John Cooper staff with Team Canada.

456
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 4: And you know this is Bruce Cassidy is a guy

457
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 4: who won a Stanley Cup. And I understand that the

458
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 4: Golden Knights, I think they've won one of their last

459
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 4: seven definitely not playing and clicking at a level that

460
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 4: you would like to with a team that talented. I

461
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 4: mean historically, you know, you go back to Lou Lamorello

462
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 4: replacing Robbie Victoriic with Larry Robinson, you know, the turn

463
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 4: of the century two thousand, I think Devil's go on

464
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,239
Speaker 4: and win a Stanley Cup. But other instances where a

465
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 4: team in a playofposition makes a season coaching change, and

466
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 4: Lou Lamorello did it himself with Clode Julian and took

467
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 4: over as a coach one a series and then lost

468
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 4: in the second round, there aren't great returns on it,

469
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 4: and teams don't do it very often for a reason

470
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 4: because it speaks of in general that you're a team

471
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 4: that is in some sort of panic mode. And I

472
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 4: think the pressure now, I don't think there's any pressure

473
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 4: on John Tortorella, right, I mean, John Torterella has been

474
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 4: brought in. Hey see what you can do. You know,

475
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 4: there's you know, if they finish where they are now,

476
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 4: somewhere in that two three spot in the Pacific Division,

477
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 4: play Edmonton in the first round, the Oilers win, you know,

478
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,959
Speaker 4: presumably John Torterella moves on, uh to you know, whatever

479
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 4: he wants to do in the offseason and next season.

480
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 4: If they if they beat the Oiler and have a

481
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 4: decent run, who knows, maybe it leads to a longer

482
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 4: term thing for John Tortorella. But there's a possibility Vegas

483
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 4: doesn't even make the playoffs. And and to me, that's

484
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 4: where the spotlight that needs to shine on GM. Kelly mcrimmlin,

485
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 4: who's been you know, he's a guy that has he's

486
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 4: a take no prisoners GM. You know, he signed Carter

487
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 4: Hart when he didn't need to. It didn't work out

488
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 4: for him, and I think, you know, it was a

489
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 4: black eye for the organization. There have been other incidents

490
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 4: over the last four or five years with how the

491
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 4: team has dealt with players and and things like that,

492
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 4: So I think the pressure has to be squarely on

493
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 4: Kelly McCrimmon with making such a late season coaching change,

494
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 4: especially with a coach who's resume looks like Bruce Cassidy.

495
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 4: So you know, it'll be interesting. And I do think

496
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 4: the ripple effect is now with Bruce Cassidy and Pete

497
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 4: de boor both on the coaching market. If you're a

498
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 4: team that's not making the playoffs, or maybe you're a

499
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 4: team that's in the playoffs but under a cheese, you know,

500
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 4: we'll see what happens over the next month or so.

501
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 4: How you know, how quickly are you trying to grab

502
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 4: one of those guys? Because I have to believe that

503
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 4: both Bruce Cassidy and Pete de Bor will be coaching

504
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 4: next season, assuming that's something they want to do.

505
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: Uh, we've talked about who is going to make the

506
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: playoffs in the East, and we frankly don't know who's

507
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 1: gonna win in the playoffs in the East. Who's your

508
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: favorite because at one point I wasn't sure Buffalo would

509
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: make the playoffs.

510
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 2: Now I would pick them to win the conference.

511
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's I mean to me, it's one of the

512
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 4: it's the great story of maybe of the NHL, certainly

513
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 4: the Eastern Conference. Fourteenth straight years without a playoff, Berth

514
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 4: and having spent a fair amount of time around Buffalo

515
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 4: over the years, and you know, going back to six

516
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 4: and seven when they were, you know, arguably one of

517
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 4: the top three or four teams in the NHL. It's

518
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 4: been such a long time for such a great hockey market.

519
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 4: And and good on Yarmo Kakalina and the GM who

520
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 4: took over for Kevin Adams has really done nothing. And

521
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 4: I don't mean that critically, but you know, he didn't

522
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 4: go in and he didn't upset the roster. Oh it's

523
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 4: the same roster, basically a couple of minor tweaks of

524
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 4: the trade deadline. You know, he didn't fire Lindy Ruff,

525
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 4: who has gone from Gee's. Will he have a job

526
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 4: to Gee's. Will he win the Jack Adams as the

527
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 4: Coach of the Year. I am curious about what happens

528
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 4: to them now that the expectations are completely flipped, because

529
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 4: you're red Mark. I mean, this is a team right now.

530
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 4: They're battling with Carolina and Tampa for top spot in

531
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 4: the Eastern Conference. They're battling with Tampa for top spot

532
00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 4: in the Atlantic. They've looked a little bit different the

533
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 4: last week or so, and maybe and all that happens

534
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 4: to lots of teams. So I'm curious to see how

535
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 4: they respond to going from, you know, perennial playoff missers

536
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 4: to to being the favorite and the expectations ramping up

537
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 4: for that. How do they respond to that because they

538
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 4: have very little playoff experience in that roster. So right now,

539
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 4: you know, Tampa, I'm concerned for Victor Hedman, who you know,

540
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 4: truly one of the nicest people in the game, taking

541
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 4: a leave from the Lightning. It's been a very difficult

542
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 4: season for him. I really do like the Lightning, but

543
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 4: I've liked them in the last three years and they've

544
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,479
Speaker 4: been one and done so. And the other team that

545
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 4: I've spent a lot of time around recently is Carolina Hurricanes.

546
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 4: A lot of criticism and not all external. I mean,

547
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 4: Rod Brindan Moore was very blunt I thought after the

548
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 4: trade deadline when the Hurricanes didn't make a major roster addition.

549
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 4: They're a very good team there. They they're so deep,

550
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 4: they play so fast. I'm not sure the goaltending is

551
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 4: good enough to win a cup, but I do think

552
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 4: it's good enough to win the first couple of rounds

553
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 4: and go once again to an Eastern Conference final, where

554
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 4: I would think it's Carolina and either Tampa or Buffalo.

555
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 4: So those are the three teams I'm looking at, and

556
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 4: the question for me on Buffalo is how do they

557
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 4: respond to having a completely different set of expectations on

558
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 4: them in the most critical time of the year, something

559
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 4: that so many of them have not experienced.

560
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 2: Scott has always great stuff. Enjoy the hockey. We'll talk

561
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 2: again real.

562
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 4: Soon, I hope, all right, look forward to it.

563
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 2: That's the great Scott Burnside.

564
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,440

579
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 3: And like do you think you'll have one like in

580
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 3: the Cranberry or Wexford area.

581
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: I don't know about Cranberry or Wexford. Tell your local

582
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: tavern owner or sports bar owner to have me. But

583
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: I'll be at Pittsburgh Brewing Company just off Rough twenty

584
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: eight and Creighton on Thursday. We do those once a month.

585
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: Biggest big screen TV ever, lots of giveaways, it is.

586
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: It is a nostalgia and I got a Stanley Cupp

587
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: merch from nineteen ninety two to give away Never Been

588
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: Warned T shirts.

589
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 2: So be there. Let's go to Bubbles, Hey Mark.

590
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 5: When Mike Tomlin starts doing his TV gig, how do

591
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 5: you think he'll conduct himself when he goes to analyzed

592
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 5: Steeler games.

593
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: I think Mike Tomlin will be extremely well spoken, but

594
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: also say nothing, so I don't think he'll say anything

595
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: that will offend anybody, let alone the Steelers.

596
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 2: I think he'll be horribly boring and revered.

597
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 5: For it, because that's like a part of me that

598
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 5: feels like he probably may have somewhat of a chip

599
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 5: on his shoulder from like, you know, all the fire

600
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,479
Speaker 5: Tomlin chance this past season.

601
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 2: If he's smart, he won't it. Be smart.

602
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: He'll just go and do that job and he can

603
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: do it forever and make more money than he ever

604
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: did coaching.

605
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 5: Well, however he does it, I'm just glad he's gone.

606
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: Well, I'm just glad for him because this is a

607
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: great job. He can spend more time with his families.

608
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean family. Let's go to Joe and Alabama.

609
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 4: Joe, what I what?

610
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 12: Did you watch the Legends game? The Liverpool game this

611
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 12: past weekend? Did you go to it? I'd want to angue.

612
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 2: You didn't go to it.

613
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: It was at anfield in Liverpool, but I saw some

614
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: of the highlights.

615
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 2: Why do you ask?

616
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 4: Uh?

617
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 12: I just I didn't know that that was a yearly

618
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 12: thing until I saw the postgame stuff. So now that

619
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 12: I know, I'm like, Okay, that's really cool, and I

620
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 12: hear you're being such.

621
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 4: A big band.

622
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: No, I would actually that's something I would like to

623
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: go to before I'm I'm unable to travel as much

624
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: as I do now, so maybe next year I would

625
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: like to see it. It's always international weekend where there's

626
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: no games to watch anyway, so maybe I'll plan for

627
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:44,959
Speaker 1: that next year.

628
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 2: Let's go to a talkback, Mark, Chris and Florida.

629
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 5: Just wondering if you thought Andrew McCutcheon would have been

630
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 5: a much better and cheaper DH than it Zoon what

631
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 5: we paid for him?

632
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 4: Your thoughts on that?

633
00:33:58,960 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 6: Thanks?

634
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: No, I'm glad they let Cutch go. You can't let

635
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: your locker room become a museum. Ozuna has more power

636
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: and Cutch just can't play in the field at all.

637
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 2: I'm shocked that Texas has made him so far.

638
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: They're starting the agent two of the three games, and

639
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: got him in there mid game in the third game.

640
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: But at some point you're just going to move on.

641
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: You can't just keep your old guys around forever. The

642
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: Penguins did. Now they're all hurts. Well a tang isn't,

643
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: but you get the idea. Let's go to Jude. Hey, Jude,

644
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: you're on with double M.

645
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 4: Mark.

646
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 7: I've never been a massive Tiger Woods fan, but at

647
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 7: this point, there's just no reason to defend him, and

648
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 7: there's enough evidence to back up that he's just a

649
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 7: bad guy. And I find it interesting how, you know,

650
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 7: despite I know, Phil Nicholson's had his issues, but he's

651
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 7: been like entirely ostracized, and Tiger Woods continued to be

652
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 7: beloved despite these, you know, despite his actions.

653
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: Well, Tiger Woods got the demographic thing going. And as

654
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: good as Phil Nicholson was, Tiger's the guy who golf

655
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: into the truly big time, bigger than Nicholas and Palmer ever,

656
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: did I mean he had the mass media that those

657
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,479
Speaker 1: two did not, really, not like.

658
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 2: You have now.

659
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, Tiger gets a free pass. Like I said earlier,

660
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 1: if Britney Griner had a couple of DUIs and four

661
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: car x, people would want her back in a Russian jail.

662
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: If if Kurt Schilling did the same thing, people would

663
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: want him gagged with his buddy Sock.

664
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 2: The left would hate Shilling, the right would hate Grinder.

665
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: But everybody loves Tiger and it goes to show you

666
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: the cancel culture.

667
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,479
Speaker 2: It is despicable in the first place, Bruv.

668
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: Everybody deserves the second chance, and I do mean almost

669
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: just about everybody. But the worst part about cancel culture

670
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: is it's applied unevenly. It's not what you did, it's

671
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 1: who you are, right right, Hey, real quick on the pens.

672
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 7: You think they have to win one of these next

673
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 7: two to make the playoffs at a minimum?

674
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 2: I think if they win these next to they're gonna

675
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:05,240
Speaker 2: make the playoffs. How's that? Yeah? I agree, yeah, hopefully,

676
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,280
Speaker 2: thank you for the call. I mean, look at Louis

677
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 2: c K. All Louis c K did.

678
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: Was was master bait in front of some comedians and

679
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: and like at least one was willing. I mean, don't

680
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: get me wrong, that's horribly wrong and horribly perverted. But

681
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: that weren't goulda kill nobody. It wasn't gonna physically harm anybody.

682
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 1: It's it's left up. I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't

683
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 1: want anybody to do it to me or my daughter,

684
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: my sister, my wife. I'm doing all kinds of disclaimers here.

685
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: But Tiger Woods gets out on the road, piled up

686
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: all the time, could kill people. Lucky he hasn't. But

687
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 1: Louis c K got canceled Tiger Woods. No, we love

688
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: Tiger Let's go to Dan in the car.

689
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 2: Dan, you're on with double M. Hey, double m.

690
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 8: I guess you just talked about this, but I do

691
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 8: think tonight is a must win, and I think if

692
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 8: they win tonight, they make the playoffs.

693
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 2: If they leave tonight, well.

694
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: I think must win translation to mathematics, and the mathematics

695
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: don't apply tonight for must win.

696
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 2: But I get your drift.

697
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,439
Speaker 1: I I think I think that Sid and Geno being

698
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,959
Speaker 1: out and the accompanying loss of points, and if those

699
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: lost points add up and it becomes mentally discouraging, which

700
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: I think it's on the fringe of already, that's when

701
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 1: things go really bad.

702
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you say?

703
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean the.

704
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 4: Loss of points.

705
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 6: And I think like almost.

706
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 8: Every single goal of past five games has been assisted

707
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 8: or scored by Carlton, Rattuel and Jakob.

708
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

709
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: Borkiy said that earlier, and thank you for the call.

710
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: Borky said earlier, you got to start stop getting production

711
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: from people other than usual suspects. And I tacked onto

712
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: that when I said, if you get one goal, just

713
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: one goal, every game, every single game, not averaging one goal,

714
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: but one goal at least in every single game from

715
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,919
Speaker 1: the bottom six, you for sure the playoffs.

716
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 2: Let's go to a talkback, Hey, Doblem.

717
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 4: It's Richie from Tennessee.

718
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 3: Did you end up betting the Penguin was making the

719
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 3: playoffs with two two thousand dollar bet.

720
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 1: No idea what you're talking about. I don't remember saying that,

721
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: but at any rate, no, I do not have a

722
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: bet on the peng was making the playoffs.

723
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 2: Let's go to a talkback.

724
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 10: Hey, Mark David from Cannasburg. Hey, I just want to

725
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 10: get a look into the future. What do we do

726
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 10: this summer? I remember Josh Joy kept saying, this is

727
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 10: the summer that the Penguins and Dubos is all in.

728
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 10: Do they go after Robertson?

729
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 4: What do you think?

730
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: I think a lot depends on whether or not they

731
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. I don't think Robertson will prove to

732
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: be available. I think he'll take less money. Dallas will

733
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: move some money around, and they'll find a way to

734
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: retain Robertson.

735
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 2: None of the.

736
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 1: Cap I do think they got to go get a star.

737
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: How they do that, I do not know. In terms

738
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: of what happens this summer, I don't know. I mean,

739
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 1: I wouldn't bring Geno back no matter what, but they might.

740
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: I don't see how you bring him back if you

741
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: don't make the playoffs. I think it's as far as

742
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: the summer goes. It's important to remember that this ain't

743
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: the Garden of Eden, baby, There ain't no heaven above,

744
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,479
Speaker 1: things ain't how they used to be, and this ain't

745
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: the summer. This ain't the summer of love. Okay, get

746
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: more calls in because I'm quoting Blue Oyster Cult. In

747
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: just a moment, I'm gonna talk about how much I'm

748
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: gonna hate the draft. Here I may have mentioned that

749
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: already four one two, excuse me, eight three three four

750
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: one two wxdx.

751
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 4: Look the boy on the stream
