1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: Team. They gave Jack Yous.

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 2: A mic before the game in New Jersey last night

3
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 2: against Buffalo.

4
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Let's listen to what he had to say.

5
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 3: I'm so proud and I'm so happy that the men's

6
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 3: and women's USA hockey teams brought gold medals back to

7
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 3: the United States of America.

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 1: You guys are making me emotional.

9
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 3: But I'm so proud to represent the New Jersey Devils organization.

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: And I'm so so proud to.

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 3: Represent the great state in New Jersey.

12
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: So proud from the bottom of my heart.

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 3: All my teammates, USA teammates, we just want to thank you,

14
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 3: guys for all the love and the support we feel it.

15
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 4: Thank you.

16
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: That kid can do babyface promos just so well. And

17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: he grabbed Age Thompson off the Buffalo bench and him

18
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: on because us knows the gold medal is bigger than

19
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: the NHL game on the night. Not you don't go

20
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: to work, you don't try to win and used in

21
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: last night. Buffalo won two to one as Thompson scored

22
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: what's being called the most hungover goal in history. But

23
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: Jack Ughes gets it. He should be the face of

24
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: hockey and they're gonna blow it. You can tell he's

25
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: a nice guy. Now I have uh prior knowledge because

26
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 2: d Rizzo, my buddy from Greenfield who works for the

27
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 2: hockey agents Paprasan and JP Barry. He knows the uses

28
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: very well and he's always said with great kids they are.

29
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: And I think we've seen nothing but proof of that.

30
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: Uh.

31
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: Since Jack Ugh scored the gold medal winning goal, this

32
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: is the Mark Maddon Show. I guess uh dial A

33
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: three three four one two WXDX to talk. Well, let's

34
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: preferably talk hockey because it's hockey season.

35
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: A couple of gold medals.

36
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: Avian McNaughton on earlier, Vince Trocheck on tomorrow, Penguins game tonight.

37
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: I'm a DJ's Lonson Murraysville to watch it? What could

38
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: be better? Seriously? What could be more fun? Talking about

39
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 2: Grandpa game manager?

40
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: And is he gonna play? Is he gonna play?

41
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 3: Oh?

42
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: Please, old man, come and play really mediocre scared football.

43
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: We need you so bad, please come and play. I

44
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: don't think so.

45
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: Now I do have some Pirates talk because I think

46
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: that's relevant. I talked to a few pirate guys insiders lol,

47
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: and they tell me the pirates and Connor Griffin's agent

48
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: are not currently discussing a long term extension. I think

49
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: his dad might be his agent, not talking to long

50
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 2: term extension like that Roman Anthony got in Boston. He's

51
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: their big time prospect. I think they gave him eight years,

52
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty million. So everybody's saying, give that

53
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 2: to Griffin, but they're not talking. That's just fantasy, as

54
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 2: is the idea of some mega contract to keep Schemes

55
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 2: here even a second longer than he has to stay.

56
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: The Pirates will not make Griffin and Schians the best

57
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: offer at any point. Talent like that has faith in

58
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 2: their ability to produce and then cash in via the

59
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: open market. It's not like Reynolds who is scared to

60
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: do it, not like Keller who was scared to do it.

61
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: These guys know and they believe and they cash in.

62
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: The Pirates do not offer them a legit chance to win,

63
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: and the Pirates will never pay what's required. And that's

64
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: not me being Debbie Donner. That's just me presenting hold

65
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: card facts with the evidence of the entire tenure of

66
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: Bob Nutting's ownership.

67
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: Well, you think somebody's going to say, yeah, let's give

68
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: out a jillion bucks you're not going to do that.

69
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: The goal, this is very abstract, but the goal in

70
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: today's MLB isn't to make your team good enough to win.

71
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: It's to make yourself good enough so that that can

72
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: win wants you. That's the goal. If you play MLB

73
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: A three three, four one two w xdx. I'm psyched

74
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: about the Penguins game tonight. If the Penguins can go

75
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: three and three in their first six games back, which

76
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 2: would be roughly a third of the time they figured

77
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 2: to play without Crosby, they go three and three, gonna

78
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: hang in there, kind of cling. If they go four

79
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 2: and two or better, I'll be real optimistic that they

80
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: figured something out or at least adrenalized, and maybe that

81
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: continues for a bit. You play the bottom three teams

82
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: in the Eastern Conference in three of those six games.

83
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 2: That would be tonight with the Devils at home, Saturday

84
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: at MSG the Rangers, and then I think it's March

85
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: seventh when they host Philadelphia. Both the Devils and Rangers

86
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: the next two games, they're gonna have some profound Olympic hangovers,

87
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 2: probably literally with Vincenzo and the Rangers. Don't forget Vince

88
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 2: Trochik joins me tomorrow two thirty pm. The Penguins can

89
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: do this. They can stay in the playoff without Sid,

90
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: hold that spot until he gets back. But there's no

91
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: time like the present, and especially given Devils and Rangers,

92
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: both Metro Division opponents. The Penguins have been ten to

93
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: one to five this year against Metro Division opponents. That,

94
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 2: more than anything, is why they are where they are

95
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: in the standings, and you would hate to surrender that

96
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 2: advantage by starting to lose to Metro Division teams. A

97
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,239
Speaker 2: lot of people are talking that Gino has traditionally picked

98
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: up the slack when Sid has been out and to

99
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,119
Speaker 2: assume that again, Hey, I hope so, and he's playing good,

100
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 2: but Gino's thirty nine. He's more of a point collector

101
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 2: than a true impact guy. Not that points don't make impact,

102
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: but you know what I mean. You mostly need Geno

103
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: to maintain what he's been doing, which has been very good.

104
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: He's over a point per game. He's ignited China Coough

105
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 2: upon arrival from Columbus in that trade, which is a

106
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 2: nightly victory for modern communism. But for the Penguins to

107
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: keep things going without Sid, it's cliche to say, but

108
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: it's got to be a team thing. A lot's gonna

109
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: rely on Carlson Latang because the park's gonna be on

110
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: their stick more. They got to produce, not a lot more,

111
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 2: a bit more. Can't play hero ball. There's a fine line.

112
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 2: I just hope they can walk it. And maybe Kyle

113
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: Dubis makes some small moves that big deal a day

114
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: not there. You can, you can dream about it, but

115
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 2: Kyle can't do it.

116
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: I don't think.

117
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 2: Most of this is got to come with from within

118
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 2: and from the kids. A three three four one two WXDX.

119
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 2: I was driving around today and I heard the B

120
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 2: team talking quarterback and and one of them said, guy,

121
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: who's pretty good.

122
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: Heck, I'll say who it is. It's Joe Starkey.

123
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 2: I think he's a good columnist, good radio guy, he said,

124
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: and I quote, one of the greatest quarterbacks of all

125
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: time is deciding whether or not to play for the

126
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: Steelers again. And it is our duty to talk about

127
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: it every day unquote, our duty when there's nothing new

128
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: going on now about him, just rumors coming out of

129
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: a camp that doesn't exist. In other words, made up stuff.

130
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: Our duty and okay, like the great Ron Cook, said

131
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: when in dot right about the quarterback. But I'm just

132
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 2: not interested. And he's not an all time great anymore.

133
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: He's grandpa game manager. He was average at best last

134
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: year and he's another year older this year. Jack uses

135
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: in town and the Penguins are in the playoff spot

136
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: that matters more. And for the Steelers it's all gonna

137
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: go and and up the same short term stupid. The

138
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 2: bing team sells dumb to dummies and it's working. Their

139
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: numbers are monster right now, but dumb to dummies.

140
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: It's not me.

141
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: It's the way of sports media now, but it's not

142
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: me and never will be.

143
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: That's it. You know what I'm thinking would work for me?

144
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: That thing Rogers does where he sits in a dark

145
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: room for four days with ayahuasca.

146
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: Does he co mingle? Is it?

147
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 2: Ayahuasca and dark room? Are those separates? I don't know

148
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 2: either way. Both sound real good. The dark room. You

149
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 2: know what it would be great about being in a

150
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 2: dark room for four days. You couldn't hear anything about

151
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers that would inspire me to ignore him even more,

152
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 2: And I'm guilty talking about him now. But there's one

153
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: thing I can't hope for In fact, I'm going to

154
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 2: pray to Jeebus right now. Dear Jeebus, hear my prayers.

155
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 2: There's one thing you could do for me regarding the

156
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 2: Steelers that I would love. Please, Dear Jeebus, let Aaron

157
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 2: Rodgers double cross the Steelers and go play for Minnesota.

158
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: This is your father's name. I pray one ninety x.

159
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: It's the rules.

160
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: I make double them.

161
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: How youking that.

162
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: At?

163
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: I find tonight's game against New Jersey very interesting. By

164
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: the way.

165
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 2: The Penguins a second bottom in the league in attendance.

166
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 2: That's in terms of percentage of capacity. Uh, that doesn't

167
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: surprise me. It's a third straight year last year without

168
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: a playoff berth and that's kind of the way the

169
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 2: cycle runs with the Penguins. And that's where Sid's absence hurts,

170
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: because it kind of takes the bloom off the rows

171
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: of the way had played leading into the Olympics and

172
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,479
Speaker 2: their place in the standings.

173
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: But it'll pick up.

174
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 2: Hockey is cyclical in Pittsburgh, and I'm not saying that

175
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: by any means of excuse making or with any sense

176
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 2: of pride.

177
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: Nobody takes any pride in empty seats.

178
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 2: But it'll get better as the team gets better, but

179
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 2: this Sid injury kind of pushes that back. Maybe not,

180
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: we'll see tonight. But then again, Sid's about star power.

181
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: Then again, he's been here twenty years. Do people get

182
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: bored with the same star power the same guys.

183
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 1: I don't know.

184
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 2: Maybe they shouldn't, but maybe Anyway, There's always this assumption

185
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: that Gino will pick it up when Sid's hurt, and

186
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 2: certainly historically he very much has. He's over a point

187
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: per game this year. I'm not sure he can do

188
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 2: a ton better than he has done. What I think

189
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 2: is just as important as him continue to produce at

190
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 2: the PACEY has is he needs to keep Chinakof ignited.

191
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: That has been in some ways Gino's biggest contribution to

192
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: the Penguins this year in that Chinakoff came here, they

193
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: did the Russian thing, and Chinakoff ignited from the second

194
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: he set a skate on Pittsburgh Ice, And a big

195
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: part of that is Gino both on and off the rink.

196
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure.

197
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 2: So I want to keep Geno on Chinakov's line, and

198
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: I think that means keeping him at wing with Novak

199
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 2: in the middle.

200
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: That line's gotten more out of Novak than it delivered prior.

201
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: So Gina is a catalyst for that line playing at wing,

202
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: he's too important there to move him to center. That

203
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 2: set off for Kell at center doesn't work. I think

204
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 2: moving Gina to center and probably between where Kell and

205
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 2: Rust might be the next move. Now, you can't do that.

206
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: I'm saying that out loud. Who plays between chinakoff and

207
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 2: you know the Novak stay there? Who goes at wing

208
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 2: on that line? I just I can't do that. I

209
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 2: just simply can't do that. I think they're gonna have

210
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: to make some kind of minor trade for center or

211
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: major if you consider it, like I suggested yesterday and

212
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 2: in my trip live dot com column, moving Skinner for

213
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 2: a third line center.

214
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny.

215
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 2: The one place they don't have organizational depth of any

216
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: kind is at center, let alone to make up for

217
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 2: when City Crosby gets injured. So they may have to

218
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: make a move if Ricky Rax don't get it done there.

219
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on any or all of that? Do you

220
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: think Riquel will work out at center? I have my dots,

221
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 2: especially in the defensive end. A three three four one

222
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: two wxdx. Here's an interesting story. It looks like Tony

223
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 2: Dungee is out on UH Sunday Night Football. He's I think,

224
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 2: on the pregame for NBC's broadcast Sunday Night Football. What

225
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: did they call Football Night in America? I think Dungee's out,

226
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: which is good because he's an ass He is a

227
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: pious hypocrite and if I went into why, you'd agree.

228
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 2: But I'm not gonna. But I do not like, can't

229
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 2: stan Tony Dungee. The logical guy to replace would be

230
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin. He's African American, He's a hot commodity after

231
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: his tenure coaching the Steelers.

232
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: He's well spoken.

233
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: If cliches out the ying Yang, his name's been mentioned

234
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: by the usual suspect. So is like Cam Hayward, who's

235
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 2: still playing, and Aaron Rodgers. I wouldn't hiring Aaron Rodgers

236
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 2: to do TV. I would not trust him to not

237
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 2: go off into tangents that you wouldn't want him to

238
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 2: talk about in the context of a football pregame show.

239
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 2: It ain't it ain't Pat McAfee that show, and I

240
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 2: would not trust him to take instruction to be produced.

241
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 2: So but but Mike Tomlin replacing Dungee on football Night

242
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: in America. That one thousand percent makes sense to me.

243
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 2: Really enjoyed Evan Ava McNaughton on a bit earlier, and

244
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 2: I get criticized all the time, like like that book

245
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 2: prior she blocked me, and that Taylor hass blocked me,

246
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 2: you know, And I don't care. They're small potatoes, who

247
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 2: cares what they think? But but they're mad, I guess

248
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: because I'm perceived to be sexist and misogynist, even though

249
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 2: I don't see a lot of evidence of that. And

250
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 2: by way of proof, the only sports media guy sports

251
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: radio guy in Pittsburgh who has big time female athletes

252
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: as guests is me and today the latest installment of

253
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 2: that with Ava mcnountain, the local girl who was one

254
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: of the goalies on the gold medal winning US Women's

255
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 2: Olympic hockey team. Nobody else has female athletes on I

256
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 2: do like the B team. It's all white dudes that

257
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: shall be casesses, that are casis. I feel bad mispronouncing

258
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 2: that because I've met her. She's very nice and she's

259
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 2: very talented, and they just ran her off. They got

260
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 2: all white guys on Mike. They got one black guy,

261
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: but it's all white guys. No female guests, no female

262
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: sports talk. But yeah, I'm the misogynist. I'm the sexist.

263
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 2: Proof's a really screwy thing when people don't believe it anymore. Okay, upneck,

264
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 2: Goo to tak hockey with Josh Shoey of the Athletic

Speaker 1: This is Doug Gottlieb.

271
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 4: Here's what's trending from the Iheartsports Network, presented.

272
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: By Iheartadvertising dot Com.

273
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 6: ESPN reports the annual NFL Players Union survey on working

274
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 6: conditions ranks the Steelers last with subpar facilities, the biggest

275
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 6: great with Captain Sidney Crosby on his shelf. The Penguins

276
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 6: are back from the Olympic break and they'll host New Jersey.

277
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: That one was tonight. Hand banned NBA player Johntay Porter.

278
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 6: He signed to play for the Seattle Superhawks of the

279
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 6: upstart United States Basketball League.

280
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 2: I'm Scott Davidson, run a business and not thinking about radio.

281
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: Think again, because people are listening to radio more today

282
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: than they did twenty years ago, and only iHeartRadio big

283
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: Lebowski right, goodbye the Exit one oh five nine to

284
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: quote Flounder an animal house. Oh boy, is this great?

285
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: Those NFL PA report cards that weren't supposed to be

286
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 2: made available to the public, well they leaked.

287
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: The Steelers finished.

288
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: Dead last overall among all NFL organizations, the first time

289
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: in the history of the report card.

290
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: These are voted on by the players.

291
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 2: Art Rooney finished dead last in terms of investing in

292
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 2: in facilities, and the Steelers ranked dead last in terms

293
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 2: of quality of home field. Listen, it's nice to get

294
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 2: my opinion validated. But I've told you it's a crap

295
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 2: organization for years. But let's talk hockey, because it's hockey season.

296
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: I'm joined now by Josh Joey of the Athletic Josh,

297
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 2: we know Crosby's out for at least four weeks, and

298
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 2: the two words at least terrify me. What is the

299
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: Penguin's best bet to survive this? How can they adjust

300
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: to losing sin?

301
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, Mark, real quick on the Crosby timeline.

302
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 4: I talked to somebody in your organization this morning who

303
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 4: told me that that four weeks is really from the

304
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 4: time the injury took place under normal circumstances, which will

305
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 4: only be three weeks from now, which is better. But

306
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 4: the only caveat with that is you know, Sid didn't

307
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 4: rehab as he normally would have the first few days

308
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 4: after the injury because he was trying to get ready

309
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 4: to play in the gold medal game. Why I don't know,

310
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 4: but obviously there's a four week injury, so maybe you

311
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 4: know it won't be any longer than four weeks at least,

312
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 4: which is a possibility historically speaking, not just the Penguins,

313
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 4: but I think teams in general mark when you're without

314
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 4: your superstar, you can come together in the short term

315
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 4: for a few games, you know, win a bunch of

316
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 4: two to one games to tighten it up a little bit,

317
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 4: and I suspect they'll try to do that. I think

318
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 4: this is a pretty solid team even without him. I

319
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 4: just think they're way, way better than we ever could

320
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 4: have imagined that they are. My biggest concern for them, though,

321
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 4: is simply the schedule in the middle of March. It

322
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 4: is so brutal. Kyle might have to make a deal

323
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 4: or two to help this team, just to survive that stretch.

324
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not concerned about the density of the schedule,

325
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 2: because every team goes through that in an Olympic year.

326
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 2: I'm concerned with the quality of the schedule after about

327
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: the next six games, because it gets much tougher, which

328
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 2: is why they got to beat the Devils tonight and

329
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 2: the Rangers on Saturday. Those are two teams really not

330
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 2: in the playoff hunts, so you should be able to

331
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 2: catch them, and they're good players with Olympic hangovers. Now,

332
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 2: traditionally Gino has always done more when Sid's out, but

333
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 2: is it fair to expect that at age thirty nine

334
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 2: and he's a different kind of player, Although that change

335
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 2: has made him better this year.

336
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 4: It has Knowing him like I do, I know he'll try.

337
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 4: I know he'll try to put them on his back. Now,

338
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 4: sometimes that can be disastrous when when Gino does too much,

339
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 4: he can fall into bad habits. But I wouldn't put

340
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 4: it past him, even maybe for four or five games,

341
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 4: to go off and to put up some legitimately big numbers.

342
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 4: He's always done it. And yeah he is thirty nine,

343
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 4: He's obviously not the player he once was, but I

344
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 4: still think he has the capacity to do that, and sometimes,

345
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 4: for whatever reason, sometimes the power play works better when

346
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 4: it's just Sid or just Gino as opposed to both

347
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 4: of them on the ice at the same time. He's

348
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 4: had a great year, so I don't think this team

349
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 4: has into collapse because of the situation, and I think

350
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 4: he's part of the reason why, Mark I really do.

351
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 4: I think he's exceeded expectations, much like the team has

352
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 4: all season.

353
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 2: No, I think he has two but I would I

354
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 2: would leave him at wing. I would not move him

355
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: back to center. I think Gino is responsible for chinacof

356
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 2: igniting and Novak playing better than he previously had since

357
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 2: joining the Penguins. The problem there is that Sid's injury

358
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 2: has revealed an organizational lack of depth at center, more

359
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: more lacking there than anywhere.

360
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 4: Else it is. You know, it's interesting you mentioned Gino

361
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 4: at center. Dan Muse was asked about that after practice yesterday,

362
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 4: and something about his response made it pretty clear to

363
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 4: me that he doesn't like Geno at center, and I

364
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 4: don't think we're going to see Geno at.

365
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: He knows a liability in the neutral zone at center

366
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 2: and at wing not so.

367
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 4: Much, and I think that's why Let's be honest, that's

368
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 4: the Penguin's best line right now. It's been a spectacular line,

369
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 4: So why would you touch it. I keep going back

370
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 4: to Ben Kendall, and I know you've talked about this

371
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 4: on your show the last couple of days. I don't

372
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 4: love Raquel at center. That he can do it. He's

373
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 4: a smart player. I don't know that you're getting the

374
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 4: most out of him at that position. And I know

375
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 4: Kendall's eighteen years old and it's asking a lot. I'm

376
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 4: not so sure. I wouldn't put him between Russ and

377
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 4: Rackuell and just let him go. I just think there's

378
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 4: something special about this kid, and we were seeing him

379
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 4: play at a much higher level before the break. His

380
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 4: last five or six games were probably his best in

381
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 4: the NHL. And just talking with some guys the last

382
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 4: few days, they've all said, like, God, we look like

383
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 4: crap the first couple of days back in practice after

384
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 4: the break, and that this kid was skating circles around us,

385
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 4: like it looks like he just keeps getting better. I

386
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 4: wouldn't be afraid to give him a little bit more responsibility.

387
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 2: No, I'd be tempting to put him between Raquel and

388
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 2: rust and then trade Skinner or somebody for a third

389
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 2: line center, promote morishoff up. That's a series of kind

390
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 2: of small moves, but I think it would be a

391
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 2: risk that might make the team a lot better.

392
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 4: It might be, and you might be onto something too.

393
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 4: Aside from that, because he mentioned Skinner, who's been perfectly fine.

394
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 4: But my biggest concern with the Penguins right now, and

395
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 4: I think it's a valid one. Who's their number one goaltender.

396
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 4: Nobody seems to have the answer to that question.

397
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 2: Yeah tonight, which is a bit unexpected because he played

398
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 2: in the Olympics.

399
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: Maybe he's the hot hand or whatever.

400
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 4: I'm a little surprised by it too, But I don't

401
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 4: think they have a number one goalie. I don't think

402
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 4: they know who it is. And entering a stretch like

403
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 4: this without Crosby, to me, that's a dangerous thing. But also,

404
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,479
Speaker 4: we all know who their most talented goaltender in their

405
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 4: system is, and I've had more than one people tell

406
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 4: me in the last few days, like you know, Mirrorshop's ready.

407
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 4: Don't be shocked if he's in Pittsburgh sooner than you

408
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 4: might think. I wouldn't be shocked if they just say

409
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 4: to hell with it and bring them up, whether they

410
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 4: trade someone or not at some point. Now that's not

411
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 4: to say that's imminent, but at the gold side, one

412
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 4: of the goaltender struggles at all with the schedule because

413
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 4: two guys need to play right now, they're not gonna

414
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 4: much like they didn't hesitate to bring Avery Hayes up,

415
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 4: I don't think they're going to hesitate to bring to

416
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 4: her game miroshop up because what he's doing in the

417
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 4: American Hockey League, like he's clearly graduated from that league.

418
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 2: This kid might be a star. Well, he's their best goalie.

419
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 2: He's the goalie that can elevate himself and elevate you.

420
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: It's a risk.

421
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: But like the term I like to use is it's

422
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 2: very educated. I think would make perfect sense. We're talking

423
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 2: to Josh Owey of the Athletic here on the home

424
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 2: of the Penguins one oh five to nine in the

425
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 2: X was sit out.

426
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: How much is on Latang and Carlson.

427
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 2: I don't want them to go out there and play

428
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 2: hero ball, Josh, but the puck's going to be on

429
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 2: their stick.

430
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: More can't help but happen.

431
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 4: No, And I've said for fifteen years now that the

432
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 4: Penguins go as Crystal Tang goes, and that's still true

433
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 4: to some extent, and I would throw Carlson into that well.

434
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 4: Tang's been so much better the last couple of months,

435
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 4: and Carlson's been pretty durn good all year. Yes, they

436
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 4: need to be at their best, and they need to

437
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 4: provide some offense as well. Typically that's not a problem

438
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 4: for either one of them, but you need to generate

439
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 4: some offense from your blue line when your best player's out.

440
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 4: That's just the way it is. And I'm really interested

441
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 4: in what we're going to see mark in this pairing

442
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 4: with Sam Girard and chrys Latang. I's a couple of

443
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 4: very talented offensive guys, guys who know how to get

444
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 4: the pucker forwards playing together. There might be some risk

445
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 4: reward with that kind of a pairing. They might have

446
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 4: their issues defensively. I don't know, but if I'm a forward,

447
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 4: I would like playing with those two guys. And I

448
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 4: think just throwing Gerard into this mix because he is

449
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 4: a very gifted offensive defenseman, it might be a good

450
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 4: time for him to have arrived because he'll certainly provide

451
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 4: more offensive Brett Kulak was going.

452
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: To Yeah, and a bit more adrenaline too.

453
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 2: He's like an energy type of guy for a veteran,

454
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 2: And that's why I would lean on the kids more.

455
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: I would.

456
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,719
Speaker 2: I would, you know, I would put kindle between Raquel

457
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 2: and Rust. I would leave Avery Hayes up here and

458
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 2: give him minutes.

459
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: I would give him a Groarty more minutes.

460
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: I think about Cleven and if they had trouble scoring,

461
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 2: I think one way to replace sid is through energy,

462
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 2: and veterans don't suddenly manufacture more energy.

463
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: Kids can.

464
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 4: No, that's right, And as great as this fourth line

465
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 4: has been all season, they've scored a bunch of goals

466
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 4: when they haven't really had to, which is fine. But

467
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 4: you know, if you're gonna put more pressure on those

468
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 4: three to score goals with sit out, now, that's a

469
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 4: different story altogether. And as good as that line has been,

470
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 4: you don't need to be married to it. Let's not

471
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 4: forget about what this season was supposed to be about.

472
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 4: And yes, making the playoffs now is the priority. But

473
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 4: if Rucker McGroarty and Avery Hayes are ready, with all

474
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 4: the respect to the Nola charities of the world, those

475
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 4: guys have way higher ceilings. They make the Penguins faster,

476
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 4: they give them more energy. Those are all things that

477
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 4: need to be considered, especially with sit out of the lineup,

478
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 4: and especially when you're playing as often as you are.

479
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 4: And as the Charty's had a good season for what

480
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 4: he is, nothing against him. Does he need to play

481
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 4: seventeen games in thirty one days? Is he going to

482
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 4: be at his most effective? I don't think so. You're

483
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 4: going to have to bring some young guys up, regardless

484
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 4: of people's health.

485
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: What's your hunch on Raquel at center?

486
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 2: Pros and cons and how long can they give that

487
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 2: experiment before they have to go in a different direction

488
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 2: and perhaps make a move.

489
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 4: Well, I mean the pro is he's just a smart

490
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 4: hockey player. He's done it before, and he and Ross

491
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 4: are really good together regardless if they're on the ice together.

492
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 4: They know how to play with one another. And you know,

493
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 4: Raquel's okay defensively. But I can't say that it's a

494
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 4: pro I think it's a little bit of a concern.

495
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 4: That's a different world when you're playing defensively as a center, if.

496
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 2: You have to react, not think, and it won't come

497
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: natural to him.

498
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 4: That's right. And Raquel's not having a great year, and

499
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 4: he as good as he is, he's not a dynamic player.

500
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 4: I still want my number one center to be a

501
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 4: little dynamic with the way he can skate, and that's

502
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 4: not him. We'll see how it goes. I know from

503
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 4: the beginning of training camp, Dan Muse loved him at center,

504
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 4: he really did. Maybe he sees something I don't Listen,

505
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 4: everything this guy has done has been right, so I'm

506
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 4: willing to give it a chance. But I would not

507
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 4: hesitate to book Kindle in between Russ and Kel. I

508
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 4: still think that's the most logical thing to do here.

509
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm wrong.

510
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 2: But but they don't have another choice at center right now,

511
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 2: do they? There's nobody they could like call up. I mean,

512
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 2: is bros a center? Not really, He's more of a

513
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 2: wing right. I just don't see another path besides moving

514
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 2: Geno back to center, which I just would not do.

515
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 4: No brows can play center. I don't know that they're,

516
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 4: you know, head over heels with him. They think he's

517
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 4: an alright prospect, he'll he'll make it to the NHL.

518
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 4: I don't think they view him as a difference maker

519
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 4: and a lot of them.

520
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 2: He could be a third liner maybe if you move

521
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 2: Kindle up. And I know it's probably unfair to you

522
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 2: expect an eighteen year old to replace Sidney Crosby, but

523
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 2: somebody has to.

524
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 4: That's right. And there is nothing about Ben Kendall that

525
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 4: suggests he's a normal eighteen year old. And I don't

526
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 4: mean that's for sure. He's not scared at all. He

527
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 4: sits beside his lockers, right beside sids. He's been soaking

528
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 4: up knowledge all year, and I feel like he's re

529
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 4: rejuvenated right now. I think that time off was good

530
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 4: for him. I would not hesitate at all. It's not

531
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 4: like they don't have guys who can play center still

532
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 4: Novact for whatever reason that line works, You're not going

533
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 4: to touch that line. I don't know. I think from

534
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 4: Kyle Dubas's standpoint, so much depends on the next three

535
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 4: or four games. Like you said, if they lay an

536
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 4: egg against the Devils or Rangers in these next two

537
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 4: games like that, that might set off a little bit

538
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 4: of an alarm for Dubis because he knows there's some

539
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 4: losses coming in that March schedule. They need to beat

540
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 4: the bad teams. If they do that. Maybe he doesn't

541
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 4: do anything major at the deadline, knowing that that point

542
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 4: sid might only be a week or two away.

543
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: They have twenty six games left.

544
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 2: I think they have to get twenty six points thirteen

545
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 2: wins to make the playoffs. That would give him ninety

546
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 2: six points. Ninety one made it last year. In fact,

547
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 2: ninety one got third place in the Metro. But I

548
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 2: think ninety six would be safe.

549
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: What say you?

550
00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 4: That sounds about right. The Penguins have some problems. Problems

551
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 4: to me are the Washington Capitals and the Columbus Blue Jackets,

552
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 4: who especially the Blue Jackets, are red hot. They have

553
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 4: one of the easiest schedules in hockey. The rest of

554
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 4: the way. The Penguins, conversely, have one of the most difficult.

555
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 4: This is going to be a dogfight. It's probably gonna

556
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 4: come down to those last couple of games against Washington.

557
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 4: I think they get in Mark, you didn't ask me that,

558
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 4: but I'm just gonna say it. I just have a feeling.

559
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 4: I think this team is a little better than people think.

560
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 4: And the way the general manager is going right now,

561
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 4: this guy is on such of a role. Kyle Dubas,

562
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 4: I would not put a past him to make a

563
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 4: trade or two before the deadline that helps this team

564
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 4: even more. Everything this guy does right now is working.

565
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 4: I just have a feeling they're going.

566
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 5: To get in.

567
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: I don't know.

568
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,959
Speaker 2: Jari is looking pretty good in Edmonton. I think they

569
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 2: should do what lou Bron did in Major League. I

570
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 2: think they should peel a piece every time they gonna win.

571
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 2: And instead of Rachel Phelps in the cutouts should be

572
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 2: Sally Wiggin. Now do you expect the Penguins Ricky Reck?

573
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: Who's your favorite? Rickey? Re Rex the Stripper or the Penguin?

574
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 4: I was found the Penguin a little friendlier to deal

575
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 4: with personally.

576
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he doesn't have that annoying braying, cackling laugh either,

577
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 2: And and he's aged better to be sure. Now, do

578
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 2: you expect the Penguins to pay tribute to Jack Hughes tonight,

579
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 2: because they for sure should. What happened in Milayan goes

580
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 2: far beyond him being on the other team.

581
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 4: History says they will. They introduced Ryan Miller. You might

582
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 4: remember after Crosby won the gold with Canada for the

583
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 4: Golden Goal in twenty ten, they played the Buffalo Sabers

584
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 4: the next game at Mellen Arena and Ryan Miller got

585
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 4: a thunderous standing ovation even though the Americans came in

586
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 4: won the silver medals. So, I mean history says they will.

587
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 4: I don't know for a fact that they will, but

588
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 4: I have to think there will be some kind of

589
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 4: an acknowledgment for all the players who are in the Olympics,

590
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 4: and I'm sure Jack Hughes will be included.

591
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: They should play his goal, They should put him on

592
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: the jumpboat tron.

593
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 2: That kid is money. He's the new face of hockey.

594
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 2: But are so stupid they'll blow it. They won't jump

595
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 2: on the moving train. You know what I've come to realize, Josh,

596
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 2: Looking back at the Olympics, Sally out coached Cooper. That

597
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 2: was a big part of that last game. And if

598
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 2: he only did it because Cooper blew it, Cooper played

599
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 2: his stars too much and wore them on for overtime,

600
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 2: Sally stayed the course, and one thing he's always been

601
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 2: good at, for better or worse, is staying the course.

602
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 4: I am of the belief that when Sidney Crosby got hurt,

603
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 4: that really threw Sean Cooper for a loop because he panished,

604
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 4: and he admitted it before he said, I will not

605
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 4: break up the Crosby line. That's our most steady line,

606
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 4: and it was. And I think when he lost that line,

607
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 4: like we never heard from Mitch Marner again the rest

608
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 4: of the Olympics. I mean, he became pretty last two

609
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 4: games anyway, he was pretty invisible. And I just think

610
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 4: he absolutely played McDavid too much, especially in the gold

611
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,959
Speaker 4: medal game. As great as McDavid is, we saw it

612
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 4: in Game seven in Florida a couple of years ago.

613
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 4: They were down two to one in that game. I

614
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 4: think he played almost thirty minutes that night, and he

615
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 4: was out of gas at the end of that game.

616
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 4: And he was again and look at overtime Mark. He

617
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 4: played him on the opening face off in three on

618
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 4: three and then he brought him right back after one change.

619
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: Right for the third shift.

620
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 2: He doubles shifted guys in overtime three on three and

621
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 2: that's just incredibly stupid. Then he had the gall and

622
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: bitch about it afterwards, complained about three on three.

623
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: He needs to fall back like his hairline, right.

624
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 4: He wasn't complaining about three on three overtime when they

625
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 4: beat the Checks in overtimes, but four days earlier and

626
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 4: You know, I'm on record of saying I don't like

627
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 4: three on three, but boy, the three on three certainly

628
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 4: favored Canada when you look at their personnel. They were

629
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 4: given every opportunity to win that game, including a one

630
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 4: minute and forty second five on three that they couldn't

631
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 4: score on.

632
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 2: Well, how about Vincent Trocheck and JT Miller of this

633
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 2: parish and Vince is going to be on the show

634
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 2: tomorrow two thirty. How about them killing a five on

635
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 2: three in the gold medal game? Being being part of

636
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 2: that unit took a shift in that capacity against the

637
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 2: biggest array of offensive talent in the world with the

638
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 2: gold medal on the line.

639
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: That was incredible.

640
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 4: It was and it was redemption for those two because

641
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 4: they've had to hear for weeks and months about how

642
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 4: they shouldn't be on that roster. What's Billy Garren thinking,

643
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 4: there's you know, wor's Cole Coffield, Where's Jason Robertson? But

644
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 4: the Americans went eighteen for eighteen on the penalty kill

645
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,719
Speaker 4: and that's the primary reason that Vincent JT were on

646
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 4: that team. And I give them credit, and I guess

647
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 4: it makes sense in a way because they have two

648
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 4: of the most defiant personalities I've ever met in two

649
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 4: hockey players, so I'm sure they relished and all the

650
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 4: things that were being said about them. I thought Vince

651
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 4: in particular played a really great game on Sunday, and

652
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 4: we haven't had gold medalists too many from the Pittsburgh

653
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 4: area over the years. So the men's and women's team

654
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 4: now both gave us gold medalist from Pittsburgh, which I

655
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 4: think is just great.

656
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 2: Well, Kurt Angle with a broken neck, which with all

657
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 2: the with all due respect the bench and JT they

658
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 2: did not win gold medals with the broken freaking neck,

659
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 2: though they did not. But that said, do you think

660
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 2: Vince lost the gold medal in the aftermath?

661
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: I think that's possible.

662
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 4: I mean, you're having them on the show tomorrow, right.

663
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 1: That'll be the first question. Do you know where the

664
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: gold medal?

665
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 4: I'm just I'm curious to hear what he has to say,

666
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 4: quite honestly, and I'm glad you're having him on, by

667
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 4: the way, because Vince is one of my favorite people

668
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 4: in hockey. Unbelievable.

669
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a big Vincenzo fan. Saw him this summer.

670
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 2: We sat across the isle on a flight I forget

671
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 2: where too, but we were both first class.

672
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 1: Of course we're famous. No, no, Vince.

673
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 2: I think Vince was switching planes to go to a

674
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 2: wedding somewhere, like a teammates wedding. But yeah, there's nobody

675
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 2: better than Vince. And I think those guys probably played

676
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 2: it right. Whenever you saw those guys, even once they

677
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 2: got back, like to the party in Miami, they were

678
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 2: always wearing the medals.

679
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: If you're wearing it, you can't lose it. That's good strategy.

680
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 4: That's a good point, man. I would just wear it

681
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 4: into the arena every night for the rest of the

682
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 4: season if I were one of those guys. I mean,

683
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 4: it hasn't been done in forty six years. They've earned it,

684
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 4: no question about that. Josh great stuff. Will see it

685
