1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: I've watched the hit a bunch of times. Goddess is

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: a dirt bag, but it's mostly just an awkward type deal.

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: And like I keep saying, I don't think NHL players

4
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: should play in the Olympics. I don't like the risk,

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: but I know Sid wants to do it, and so

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: I want him to do it. The US women trail

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: right now, but the captain of the US women's hockey team,

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: Hillary Knights, she proposed to Britney bow, a US women's

9
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: speed skater, and Brittany said yes. So congrats to the

10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: happy couple. I hope that I don't know what Britney

11
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: bo did in speed skating because I don't care at all.

12
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: But I hope Hillary Nike gets a gold medal to

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: go with the with the engagement ringer, whatever jewelry was

14
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: exchanged in that coupling, and I want those two to

15
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: grow together to be doppelbangers. I love me some doppelbangers.

16
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: The whole concept of doppelbangers. If you know, you know,

17
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: if you don't get out the Google machine. Having watched

18
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: yesterday's semifinals during the show, I think the US and

19
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: Canada are going to meet in the final Sunday. US

20
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: gotta get by Slovakia, Canada gotta get by Finland. Canada

21
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: has the tougher of the semifinals. Finland has been in

22
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: five of the six possible semifinals in Olympic hockey where

23
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: NHL players have participated. That's a pretty strong track record.

24
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: They're not afraid to be there. And with the US

25
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: play in the Slovax, I think Slovaki is just glad

26
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: to be there. That's that. I think Canada will be Finland.

27
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be the US and Canada

28
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: in the final, as has been anticipated ever since we

29
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: found out the NHL was going to go back to

30
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: the Olympics. And I think the US is gonna beat

31
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: Canada in the final. Not what I'm rooting for, but

32
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: I think the US will beat Canada. The US slowed

33
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: Sweden down to a crawl yesterday. Sweden got the goal

34
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: at the death to tie it before losing it overtime.

35
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: They could have stolen the victory but did not. And uh,

36
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: if Sid can't play, or if he's hobbled, that's one

37
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: less guy who can battle through that. Sid's the heartbeat

38
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: of Canada. McDavid's not McDavid's a great player. He's had

39
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: a good Olympics, but he's gonna be on the wrong

40
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: end of the blame game when this tournament is over.

41
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: Marked my words, I just don't think he'll be able

42
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: to deal with the US physicality. I think the best

43
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: best for Canada r McKinnon, Celebrini and Sid and not McDavid.

44
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: I also don't think Canada had the offensive depth that

45
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: we anticipated, at least it's not shown up yet, and

46
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: the US has Sid puck moving defense. But look at

47
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: quinn us, he's like Bobby e fing or back there.

48
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: Look at the goalie scored to win it in three

49
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: on three And what happened with Sweden was they would

50
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: just have to battle, battle, battle through the neutral zone.

51
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: When they finally did gain the zone possession, the minute

52
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: it got turned over, the US got it back out

53
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: with control and Sweden had to start the same process

54
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: over again. It was just so frustrating for them, and

55
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: like I said, they almost stole the win. But that's

56
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: a weird type of game. Even though it went to overtime,

57
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: I never felt like Sweden was in danger of winning

58
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: that game. Uh, let's talk to Tommy Radio. Tom what

59
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: do you make of this US Canada game? One nill

60
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: late in the first period of the women's final, excuse me,

61
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: early in the second period, shots are even I don't know,

62
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: did Canada may be sandbag the round robin game? Because

63
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: this looks like the whole different Canada, like.

64
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: A game of cat and mouse almost, because even though

65
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: it was scoreless after the first period, Canada was out

66
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: shooting Team USA and was kind of taking play to

67
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: them and that was startling to see. And then the

68
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: goal there at the beginning of the second period was

69
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 2: a short handed goal for Team Canada. So this is

70
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: not going good for the ladies of Team USA right now.

71
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: But it's not like they're getting severely outplayed by Canada either.

72
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: They look they look a bit rattled.

73
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 2: Though, definitely. I mean they were cruising.

74
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: What would you expect that, that's right, What would you

75
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: expect when you've just routed the whole tournament up till

76
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: now and suddenly you're not one kneel in the second

77
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: period of the only game that was ever gonna map.

78
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, Canada lost to Team USA badly, and then they

79
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: struggled against the Swiss. I think in the semi finals.

80
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: The women did I believe Canada only won by one

81
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: goal in that game, so they've been tested throughout this tournament.

82
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: A team USA better wake up quickly from being rattled

83
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 2: because starting to press no.

84
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: One else is happening. Keeping like just a side eye

85
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: on the game to this point. You know this is

86
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: supposed to be no check, no physicality, but the Canada

87
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: is really playing the body. You're not getting called. They're

88
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: gonna let the boys decide and accept their girls.

89
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: It's the gold medal game, too, so don't really blame

90
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 2: them for taking that approach against I disagree.

91
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and say that the US

92
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: got screwed by the rafts. If the physicality wins it

93
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: for Canada. But it's no check, but it's rule, it's

94
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: no check, it's no check.

95
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: I failure. But it is the last game of the year, Brent,

96
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: so you can't hold anything back.

97
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: I didn't see Hillary Knight and h and Brittany Bo

98
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: together the new engaged couple. Are they doppelbangers?

99
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 2: I haven't seen them yet either, so I can't confirm

100
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: that or not. Have you seen the local dopper bangers recently?

101
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 2: No appearances?

102
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? No, not often. I saw three different sets of doppelbangers.

103
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: Its Stinky's in Lawrenceville.

104
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 2: That's incredible, three different sets.

105
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: Should I explain what a doppelbanger is again?

106
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 2: No, you told them what to do. If they don't understand,

107
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: I like leaving it out there for if you know,

108
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 2: you know, no, no, I'll throw it.

109
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's the tendency of lesbian couples to

110
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: look more and more like each other as their relationship progresses,

111
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: as it goes.

112
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: Through time, like morphing into one.

113
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And I saw three sets of those at Stinkies,

114
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: including one. They were all just delightful. I was hugging

115
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: them like we won the Little League World Series. We'll

116
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: talk more hockey in a second. Still one nil, fifteen

117
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: minutes left in the second. Canada leads one oh five

118
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: to nine. Listen to me, hockey. Somebody put up a

119
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: poll on Twitter, Tom Penguin fans, would you be mad

120
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: if Sid played hurt in these Olympics before coming back

121
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: to play for the Penguins? And like, over sixty percent

122
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: of those responding are saying they would be angry, which

123
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: goes to show you this really is a small town

124
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: and that they don't understand the problem. The problem, as

125
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: I've said, is with the players participating period those assets

126
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: being put at risk. But once you're there, you're there.

127
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's too late for that. And to fool yourself

128
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 2: into thinking that Sidney Crosby would sit out of a

129
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 2: semi final or a final game, gold medal game against

130
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: Team USA for Team Canada, it's just ridiculous. You're doing

131
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 2: just that, you're fooling yourself. There's no way in hell

132
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: he would do that as long as he can play

133
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: and play hurt but not risk too badly of getting

134
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: injured too much.

135
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: There's no risk when you play periods, whether you're nursing

136
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: an injury or not. But again, I've been told point

137
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: blank no surgery, which is great. It's not an injury

138
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: that's that's being hidden's the wrong word. But but it's

139
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: not a thing where it probably needs surgery. He's going

140
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: to try to play, you know, he just doesn't need surgery.

141
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: It's not a severe injury. Although his participation for these

142
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: last two games isn't dot. I bet he tries to

143
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: play at least in the gold medal game, assuming Canada

144
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: gets there. But but I can't blame him for trying

145
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: to play obviously.

146
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: And just like you said, there's risk no matter when

147
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: you play. He could come back Thursday against the Devils

148
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: and blow out a tire and he could get hurt

149
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: there even if he misses these next two games. So

150
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: for Penguins fans to be like, I'd be so mad

151
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: if he played through an injury. If he played hurt

152
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: for Team Canada, that's a good sign to me. That

153
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: means it's he's even closer to a return than against

154
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: or when the Penguins.

155
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: Received Some people were mad because they thought Mario was

156
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: prioritizing the O two Olympics over the Penguins, But that

157
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: was only because he was prioritizing the O two Olympics

158
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: over the Penguins, because the Penguins that you were going now,

159
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: they weren't to win. Mario had never realized. And I

160
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: supported that, and I support this even though again to repeat,

161
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: I don't think the NHL player should be there in

162
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: the first place, but they are. I don't think Canada

163
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: can beat the US without Sid. I think that they

164
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: need him on the bench at the very least to

165
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: navigate that, and I think they need him being able

166
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: to battle through traffic and set an example in that regard,

167
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: because Connor McDavid ain't that guy.

168
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: He isn't All those things are true, and we've talked

169
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: so much, and people have been raving about the depth

170
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: of Team Canada in this tournament, and that's like they're

171
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: calling cards since the crucial part of that depth, the

172
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 2: fact that he jumps over the boards for your third

173
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: line sometimes is just absurd.

174
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: So that's I never thought it change my initial prediction.

175
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: But I think the US has a team to beat Canada.

176
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: I don't think Canada can get through the neutral zone

177
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: on them, and the US defenseman can turn the puck

178
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: around as soon as it turns over. They gave Sweden

179
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: fit Sweden. I mean they got that goal with the death,

180
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: but other than that they were mostly non threatening.

181
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 2: No, they did, and Hella Buck's playing well also, he is.

182
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 2: And Canada is better than Sweden, though I believe and

183
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: could probably combat that more than Canada or more than

184
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 2: Sweden did, although Sweden has some great puck moving defensemen

185
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 2: and they just were not able to get any thing

186
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 2: going against Tam.

187
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: I still maintained that when this tournament's over, McDavid will

188
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: be the villain in Canada, I don't. I think he's

189
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: played okay, but only okay. I think Celebrini's been better.

190
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: I think McKinnon's been better. I I just don't think

191
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: McDavid is a guy who delivers in a game like this.

192
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the elimination games against Florida in

193
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup finals where he did nothing in each

194
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: of those two years.

195
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 2: Well, and have we been talking about all week how

196
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 2: Sullivan doesn't match lines, But I just don't know how

197
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 2: you wouldn't put Matthew Kachuck and the Ka Chuck line

198
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 2: out there and Ikele against McDavid for that entire gold

199
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 2: medal game. And like you just said, calling back to

200
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: what Florida did to Edmonton for the past two years,

201
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 2: have Matthew out there on the ice with McDavid kind

202
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 2: of have that reminder of that shadowing him that entire line.

203
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: Ikele's great at that as well. You're right, we can

204
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: utralize the first tom you just play your game, you

205
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 2: know what I mean? I meant as far as like

206
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 2: you're on.

207
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: The ice with that and heavy wears them done.

208
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 2: I meant by shadow as far as every time they're

209
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: on the ice, your.

210
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: Heavy, heavy slows them down, heavy wears them, don heavy

211
00:09:59,240 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: bullies them.

212
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 2: Do you think Sullivan does that though someone gets in

213
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: his ear on that staff.

214
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: I don't think he knows how.

215
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: Someone on that staff has to though Torts. Do you

216
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: think Torts could do it?

217
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: Sully's the head coach.

218
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: True, it's his final say.

219
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if he does, more power to him, because

220
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: I think he needs to. I think this game is

221
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: so razor close that you need all hands on deck,

222
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: not just in terms of players, but in terms of

223
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: coaches making the right decisions. Tom, we were done with

224
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: the show yesterday when the US beat swedeen overtime. What

225
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: a goal by Quinn used to win it. And he

226
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: really is a dynamic player.

227
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 2: He was unbelievable and that goal just coming, Matthew said,

228
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: a nice little he floated through. Edze pointed this out

229
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 2: on the broadcast with a little float through right in

230
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 2: front of everybody. And then Quinn Hughes is just going

231
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 2: one way and then snapping the puck the other way.

232
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: Landskog was I think who was marketing him on that?

233
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 2: And you could see him like his eyes bulge out

234
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: when he was just shot. The pocket was just so

235
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 2: laser quick he wasn't expecting it. He couldn't get a

236
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: stick on it at all. Do you agree with the

237
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 2: prediction I just made that right now. I would the

238
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 2: US to beat Canada. Yeah, I think I would. I mean,

239
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: I was just so shocked to see Chechia kind of

240
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 2: take it to Canada a little bit.

241
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: I thought at one point Canada would blow out the

242
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: US if it came to that. Now I know that

243
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: won't happen.

244
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 2: They had a game with the Checkians and then the

245
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 2: CID injury. I mean, even if he does play in

246
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 2: the final against Tim Say, I can't imagine he's gonna

247
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 2: be at his full strength and they're gonna be able

248
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: to slow them down a lot. They're gonna have to

249
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 2: score more than one goal, though, But Bennington's not good

250
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 2: like the arge it now big saves though, big saves.

251
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: I am buying more and more into the into the

252
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: legend of Bennington is the big game goaltender, and in

253
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: Saint Louis he's not played well, but they ain't got

254
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: him to know big games lately. And he did win

255
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: a Stanley Cup with him and winning a Stanley Cup

256
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: with Saint Louis, and that team had total lack of

257
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: star power. That was quite an accomplishment. And you know

258
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: he won the four Nations and he's looked good here.

259
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean he made a great save against Chechia at

260
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: the death, you know, the breakaway. Yeah, he really did,

261
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: and then in overtime he made a big safe two.

262
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 2: If he does win the gold medal, game plays really

263
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 2: well in it. Think people hit up the Blues hotline

264
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: a lot in these next couple of weeks, try to

265
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 2: get him at the trade deadline.

266
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: Say always a big game player. I think they'd be

267
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: nuts to trade him the Blues, yea.

268
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: Even though they're so far down, just to keep hold

269
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 2: on to him.

270
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think you trade the guy who keeps

271
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: you in there, you know. And you know what it

272
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: reminds me of. This is a really far out reference.

273
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: It reminds me of Everton in the Premier League has

274
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: a goal named Jordan Pickford, who's England's number one.

275
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: Goal the national team.

276
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and he's perfectly content at Everton. You know,

277
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 1: he's a spotlighted guy and makes good money. Liverpool's a

278
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: nice place to live.

279
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 2: And he has to get hit up right with offers

280
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: or the team does all the time.

281
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure, but he just it

282
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: seems like a very content situation for both club and goalkeeper.

283
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: And I rather suspect it's like that for Bennington in

284
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: Saint Louis as well. That Sweden game was odd, as

285
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier, slow and kind of boring. The US

286
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: slowed down the Swedes, you know what, was weird, and

287
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: Celly took some criticism for it. He had Trocheck and

288
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: Miller out there at the very end when Sweden tied it.

289
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: Then again, they're defensive type of guys within this context.

290
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 2: And they were playing so well throughout the game, and

291
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 2: the USA was blocking so many shots against Team Sweden,

292
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: really laying the body down for the team and for

293
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: the greater good. And I think JT. Miller and Vince

294
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,599
Speaker 2: Trochik were really the face of doing that. And I

295
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: don't blaming for that. Played well, yeah, that's what I mean, Like,

296
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: I think that was the right process.

297
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: Then.

298
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: I don't know though, like it's been working, but yeah.

299
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: I mean, if they're there to be defensive type players, yeah.

300
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: They built that roster with their role in mind, or

301
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 2: else there wouldn't be they wouldn't be there if they

302
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 2: didn't do that so kind of be stupid to not

303
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: use them in that situation and the role that you

304
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: put them on the roster for.

305
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, by the way, referring back to Bennington, he's only

306
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: signed for one more year, but I would assume he

307
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: gets extended. You know.

308
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: The more you say about the comfortability with Saint Louis too,

309
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: you're winning that cup there too, and he already won.

310
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 2: That's it. Yeah, you're a legend already. And if you

311
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 2: become that one jersey guy mark in Saint Louis, you're

312
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: looking at maybe a statue out side and nice Jordan

313
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 2: Bennington statue.

314
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's only so many Plaguer brothers you

315
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: can put up. You gotta do something if you're Saint Louis.

316
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: That's a reference for the for the old timers to

317
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: be sure in Saint Louis. Now they're way out of it.

318
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: Yeah they're they're in the McKenna sweepstakes. Yeah they're second last. Yeah,

319
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: in the conference. But they ain't get McKenna. The NHL

320
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: will rig it so he doesn't go to Saint Louis.

321
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: The Frozen envelope, do the Patrick Ewing thing. You've seen

322
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: the gouddist hit again. Uh, do you have any second

323
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: thoughts about it? Yesterday we kind of agreed that it

324
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: was more awkward than anything.

325
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 2: It's just his reputation is the only thing that I

326
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: think it gives you pause. Like if that was a

327
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: player that doesn't have that bad rep I think it

328
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: would be everybody kind of thinking just awkward hit. But

329
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 2: it's just the gouddist factor. But I think this is

330
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 2: just a circumstance where he was a little bit high,

331
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 2: but not egregiously high in the lake. Sometimes the lake

332
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: bends in a funny way in a sport like.

333
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: Hockey, the palette hit, the interference, the full out body

334
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: to the play. But but that's not what hurt Sid.

335
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: Just the referees don't protect Sid, not in the NHL

336
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: and not at this level obviously. And you look back

337
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: through Sid's career that hit by Steckle with the Winter Classic,

338
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: way back when the can custom again, interference, a body

339
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: check away from the pup, true bis elbow in the

340
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: twenty one playoffs, and now this it just keeps happening.

341
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't get it. And you were wondering yesterday

342
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: why Sid not McDavid, And is it really just because

343
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 2: they can't catch him, that he's just too fast right now,

344
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: that you can't be as physical with him.

345
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I don't think Cand'll have

346
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: a problem with that. Well, what do you mean as

347
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: far as I think I think they'll be able to

348
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: play physically with McDavid.

349
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: No, no, I'm saying. Oh, I'm saying like team's targeting

350
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 2: McDavid as far as they did with Sid.

351
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: I think Sid's easier to target than McDavid for sure

352
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: now in his career. And I also think that Sid

353
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: seems the heartbeat of the team.

354
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you said it perfectly at the beginning of

355
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 2: the segment, David's just not that guy, and I think

356
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 2: that everybody else in this tournament kind of uws it

357
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 2: that way too. Sid is the threat, then they probably

358
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: go with Nate Dogg as the secondary threat. As far

359
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: as being that dude, Well, no, I don't at that,

360
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 2: But like me, it's gonna be a better getting through

361
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 2: it the clog neutral zone than Sid. Well, that's true.

362
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: Sid like going after him, it's like cutting the head

363
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 2: off the snake.

364
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: That's a great point, you know, And I just think

365
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: that's how teams approach it. And plus sid won't shy

366
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: away from it.

367
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 2: Tom Brady in the house over in Italy for Team

368
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: USA to the stars are all in Italy right now.

369
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: Michael Rouzione, Rizzo, Well, he's gained some that. I mean,

370
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: you know, I lost it. I think Rizzo found it.

371
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 2: All these labs starting to fly over now because of

372
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 2: this gold medal game, and we're getting to Britney Bow.

373
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: We're getting into the nitty Grittyo. You know what I've

374
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: seen Hillary and I now I've seen Britney Bow. I

375
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: see a touch of the Doppelbanger. I think there's potential there. Tom,

376
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: did you see Check scored a goal against Canada with

377
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: six skaters out there and not just for a little

378
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: bit on a bad change. I don't know what the

379
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: hell happened, but they had six players playing for what

380
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: like thirty thirty five seconds in the defensive zone into

381
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: the attack and then six guys were out there celebrating.

382
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: How did that get noticed? But is I think drew out?

383
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: He said the Canadian defenseman. We didn't notice it. Our bench,

384
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: our coaches, nobody.

385
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 2: Nobody noticed it. Honestly, you're thinkiing the the arena noticed that.

386
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 2: There'd be like fans starting to make a bigger fuss

387
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 2: about it that would point out to John Cooper that

388
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 2: something's amiss. It's it's one of the funniest things that

389
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 2: you'll watch seeing them play defense and then go on

390
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 2: the rush into the offensive zone. It's almost like there's

391
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: Checkians jumping off of the bench joining the rush against

392
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 2: the Canadians. The funniest part of the video though, has

393
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 2: to be the celebration where it's one, two, three, four,

394
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 2: and then the sixth guy jumps in and they're all

395
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 2: bear hugging each other.

396
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: Well, that's when people noticed when you can catch the celebration. Yeah,

397
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: they're all one together. Yeah, you'd think the refreez will

398
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: be like, hey, wait a.

399
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: Minute, what do you do? Though, at that point you

400
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 2: go back and disallow the goal.

401
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: I guess you have to. Yeah you can, for sure

402
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: you can. Uh up next, going to talk to Bucco.

403
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: Baseball Home of the Peng was one oh five to nine.

404
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 3: It's The Woody Show weekly mornings at.

405
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 1: Six, especially on the Wiser. Doesn't really matter. On one

406
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: oh five.

407
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 2: Nine X what if you could buy a flippable two side, it's.

408
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 3: The Mark Manhoon free gay Show.

409
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: US still trills Canada in the gold medal game for

410
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: women's hockey, very late in the second period. Tom, as

411
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier in the program, the referees aren't calling anything.

412
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be no check. A Canadian defenseman just

413
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: lit up a US winger with a body check. Darius

414
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: Casparitis would have.

415
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: Been proud of right in the neutral zone and then

416
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 2: put Canada right back on the attack. It was such

417
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 2: a blatant penalty for women's hockey. It's wild that it's

418
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 2: going uncalled, and it seems to be it's just Canada

419
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 2: doing it right. Doesn't seem to be a lot of

420
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 2: reciprocation from Tmusa.

421
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: The US is playing probably a bit more physical than

422
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: the rules should allow, but there's no Casparitis hits. The

423
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: difference is Canada has the lead. When I always say

424
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: when referees don't call anything, the team that has the

425
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: lead has greater benefit, and that's certainly the case here.

426
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: Uh Tom, I'm amazed by the debate online about whether

427
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: sid should play for Canada at the expense of maybe

428
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 1: not being as ready as he could would otherwise be

429
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: for the Penguins. That's just ridiculous. Anybody who even think

430
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: that's a debate doesn't understand hockey at all. And to

431
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: repeat my complaint is that they're there in the first place,

432
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: assets put at risk. But now that they are there,

433
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: you can't ask Sid as captain of Canada to think

434
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: more about the Penguins. And anybody out there holds that

435
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: against him, if that's how it plays out, is just

436
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: an ass.

437
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 2: I don't know how anybody could could have any thing

438
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 2: but relief of Sid playing again for Canada again. There's

439
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 2: a risk that he will get injured further and that

440
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 2: would keep him out of the Penguins longer, but that

441
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 2: could happen at any time during the season when he returns.

442
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: Mark my words, you know it'll drive people just backcrap

443
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: crazy will be if he plays in the gold medal

444
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: game then sits hot games for the Penguins after getting back.

445
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 2: Okay, but if that, it's ridiculous.

446
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: Like I said repeatedly, I'm repeating myself and I can't

447
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: believe some people out there are so stupid. To be frank,

448
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: you're not gonna sit out the Semis and finals at

449
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: the Olympics when you're the captain of your country. If

450
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: you're just on any team in any capacity, so you're

451
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: more ready for Carolina in March. That's just not the

452
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,479
Speaker 1: way it works. Anybody who thinks that just shouldn't be

453
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: discussing hockey.

454
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: It's such a great line in point you should repeat it.

455
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 2: But see, let's say he sits out like three or

456
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 2: four games for the Penguins after playing in the gold

457
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: medal game for a team Canada. I really don't see

458
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: how that's such a harm. First of all, you pointed

459
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 2: this out yesterday. The team can survive a short term

460
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 2: appsite of Sidney Crosby the adrenale he's.

461
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: Out in the short term, Yeah, they can pick themselves up,

462
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: no question. Okay, we'll get him back, you know, after

463
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: x amount of games, and they can at least you know.

464
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 2: Yeah cred Slutch. Yes. So if that's the case, I

465
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 2: think that they could easily split the upcoming four games

466
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 2: without Sidney Crosby. Then he's right back in the fold,

467
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: a top line center and you're good to go.

468
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: You know what's funny, Like like there are places like

469
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 1: on Twitter and so forth that are making this a

470
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: big debate, and I just don't think it's a debate

471
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: at all.

472
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 2: Do we just we just have to debate, right, is

473
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 2: that what it is? Because we got good news today

474
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 2: with what Cooper said and then what you were texted like, yeah,

475
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 2: it's all good news as far as Sidney Crosby, but

476
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 2: we have to make it into a negative again and

477
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 2: be like.

478
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: Well, what if he plays for Canada not us, we're

479
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: mad Still, Well, there's there's a bigger picture here. And

480
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: by the way, let me throw it out there. I

481
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: don't think sid pays a lot of attention to what

482
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: fans say, you know, anywhere Canada, us back home in

483
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: Nova Scotia, wherever. But if you want to take a

484
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: chance that he could pay attention to get mad bitch

485
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: about him playing for Canada at the expense of the

486
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: Penguins when he gets back here, go ahead, go let's

487
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: see what he thinks of your criticism there. Oh, by

488
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: the way, this first hour of the program brought to

489
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: us by Shandorrova, Shandrorovis and Fisherman. They got your back,

490
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: not your wallet. Tom. I had dinner with the Uh

491
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: with the Holy Trinity last night at Palm Palm and

492
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: shady side, well kind of shady side. He's liberty that

493
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: quarter there, and it was great it's it's it's not

494
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: even nine months old, that restaurant, but it's just fantastic.

495
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: And Fishman's daughter is a sous chef there, and you know,

496
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: we had all kinds thanks to them. They paid Tom

497
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 1: remember my strategy, wait long enough Runner to pick up

498
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 1: the check, and they did.

499
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 2: The alligator arms on the check.

500
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: I am, I am grateful, but just a ton of

501
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: appetizers awakened. One eighty suffered for one night. But it

502
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 1: was just fantastic. That's just a great place. Plus there

503
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: were these women there. They were this group of women

504
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: having a party in the back room called Gallantine's Day.

505
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: I'm not sure exactly what was going on there, but

506
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 1: but we walked by and they want like and they

507
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: were like, you know, just yelling and screaming and drinking,

508
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: and they were kind of hitting on me and the

509
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: Sanderovitch's I got out of dodge any doppelgangers. I'm not

510
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: sure what get the significance of Gallantine.

511
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 2: I believe it is and I don't think you have

512
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 2: to be a single woman, but it's for single women

513
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: to go out together on Valentine's around Valentine's Day.

514
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: A date. They were extremely nice ladies having a lot

515
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: of fun. So it was great to meet them. And

516
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: like I said, the like they lobster tail appetizers, the

517
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: best lobster I've ever had. Short ribs of beef for

518
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: the entree, just fantastic. H Ever have Cremberley, Yes, they

519
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: used the Cremberlay process on slices of orange. Oh, and

520
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 1: I thought I would hate that, but I certainly did not.

521
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 1: I certainly liked it a great deal. Tom. We've been

522
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: putting off pirate talk because there's plenty of time for that,

523
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: but I'm of the opinion and I'll talk about it

524
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 1: link later. And I were to call him about it

525
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 1: for Trip TribLive dot com that we talk about Lyle

526
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: and O'Hearn and Ozuna, the new guys. I think so

527
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: much of this season depends on Cruise and Reynolds playing

528
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: better than they did last year. And I think Reynolds

529
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: is very likely to bounce back. I just think he

530
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: had a bad year last year. But I think with

531
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: Cruz it's now or never. It's twenty seven, like Paratas

532
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: had has time to step up, or maybe this is

533
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: just what he is.

534
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 2: I have more faith in Reynolds. First of all, you're right,

535
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 2: those are the two most important Pirates as far as

536
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: the offense is concerned. I have faith that Reynolds will

537
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 2: be able to bounce back at least somewhat this year.

538
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 2: He's just shown that he can do it at the

539
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 2: big lee level. I really haven't seen Cruz have an

540
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 2: zero faith and I don't either. Hit two hundred last year.

541
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 2: It's a bismal struck. Got you know one hundred.

542
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: And seventy sometimes is ops dropped from the year before

543
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: by almost one hundred points.

544
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there's no like sign that he's just about

545
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 2: to break out or he did anything well last year.

546
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 2: I know he stole a lot of basses. Whoop de doo.

547
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 2: He's got to be the best player in the Pirates lineup.

548
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: I mean for them, for them to make the playoffs,

549
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: he's got to be the best player in their lineup

550
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: and have a thirty thirty finally home runs in steels

551
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: thirty thirty. Gotta do it because I think he should

552
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 1: be doing that or coming close every year, and he's

553
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: not yet done at.

554
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 2: Once exactly, he thirty eight steels I led the National

555
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 2: League last year. That's the only thing that has really

556
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,479
Speaker 2: developed for him is his ability to swipe some bases.

557
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 2: But again, when you're only getting on base two ninety

558
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 2: eight percent of the time, it's apismal, like you're just

559
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 2: not gonna have any opportunities to wreck the bass pads.

560
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 2: And he's got to be more than that. They don't

561
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 2: go anywhere without him being that thirty thirty type of player.

562
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: I will say, even though I do have faith, Reynolds

563
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: is gonna bounce back, and I think he'll be adrenalized

564
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: really social Cruise, but I think Renolds will be adrenalized

565
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 1: by finally, how been a little bit of light at

566
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: the end of the tunnel, a team that could could

567
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: maybe go five hundred and content even perhaps contend for

568
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 1: playoff spot. But listen to these numbers. Tom Yeah dropped

569
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: by eight home runs last year, dropped by fifteen ribis ops,

570
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: dropped by seventy one points, batting average drop by thirty points,

571
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: and he struck out just one less time than Cruise.

572
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 2: One thing too, that I will say with Reynolds is

573
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 2: there's actually some protection in the lineup now for him

574
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 2: where he's not the only guy you go at. Really,

575
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 2: if there's one guy in the lineup that's a thread.

576
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: I think it's a it's a lesser factor than the

577
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: baseball experts unquote.

578
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 2: I don't know. No, you either hit or you don't,

579
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 2: I guess, but you need somebody around your best hitters

580
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 2: or else they're just gonna they're just gonna eat around

581
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 2: the strike zone. They're gonna walk them a lot. They're

582
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: not gonna tell what you do. Then you walk, fine,

583
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 2: but then no one brings you in, and then you're useless.

584
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's not on you. No that No, A

585
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: walk's a walk. A walk is getting on base for Renolds,

586
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: it's good.

587
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: But then if you don't have anybody behind you in

588
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: the lineup, anybody around you, that they'll just gladly hand

589
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 2: your first base if there's no one to threaten to

590
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 2: bring you in.

591
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: Does it sound to you like Griffin's going to start

592
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: disease in Triple A?

593
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 2: I go back and forth almost every day.

594
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: I'm talking about just kind of the signals coming out

595
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: of Bradenton.

596
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 2: Yes, I think it does kind of signal that they're

597
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 2: going that route.

598
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: I heard one of the usual suspects say that you know, well,

599
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: you never know Triolo when or Gonzalez might hit. Actually,

600
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: we do know, we don't know. Triolo never hits never.

601
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: We do know Gonzo when he does hits, its kind

602
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: of a punch and judy guy. And that's the whole point.

603
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: You know, you're talking about, Well, Triolo might and Gonzalez might. Well,

604
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 1: I would rather take a chance on Griffin might because

605
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 1: what he might do is a.

606
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 2: Lot bigger, batter and better. The ceiling's way higher. He's

607
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 2: potentially a cornerstone bat for your lineup when he develops

608
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 2: into that. But then furthermore, Mark, I think he's just

609
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 2: the best defensive short stoff that you have in the

610
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 2: system anyway on your team. So there's just really no

611
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 2: excuse to not have him start in the majors in

612
00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 2: my mind. Yeah, I mean, I'm trying to find one

613
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 2: to keep him down there.

614
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'm grateful they are top the pirates,

615
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to find reasons I think they could

616
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: make the playoffs or finished five hundred. I still think

617
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: right this second they're a seventy seven win team. And

618
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: I will say there's some things we don't know about.

619
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: For example, Ashcraft and Yeah Baba between them ain't pitched

620
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 1: one hundred innings in the big leagues. But I do

621
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: have faith they're going to be pretty good, but that

622
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: bottom three in the order is gonna be awful. Play

623
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: Another thing people aren't talking about. Some of the legitimate

624
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: six hitters will be compromised by lefty righty. You know,

625
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: when they get the bad matchup, I might not even playing.

626
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: Then who do you sub? And I guess I mean Mangdam.

627
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: They have one good bench player and Magnum even him,

628
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 1: he only played one year in MLB was what last year?

629
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: A twenty seven year old rookie.

630
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 2: And we don't know about the password. As far as

631
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 2: the other bench option that you have him, I'd like

632
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 2: to submit Jared Jones as far as my concerns for

633
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 2: the rotation as well, with a Chandler and an Ashcraft,

634
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 2: because we have seen Jones and the majors, but he

635
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 2: just had a terrible injury. He's already on the DL.

636
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 2: I think the six els I think that was pre playing,

637
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 2: of course, but like he's still going to start the

638
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 2: season on Aisle, So I just I think there's still

639
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 2: a lot to be proven from Stared Jones.

640
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,719
Speaker 1: A lot of people like Jones is the long term closer.

641
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: Why would they say that as opposed to him starting.

642
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: I don't know why you would want to move off

643
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 2: of that this quickly, And doesn't that concern you a

644
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 2: little bit that a lot of people are already looking

645
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 2: towards him, being that maybe his arm isn't built back up.

646
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 1: But it doesn't strike me as the organization either.

647
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 2: That they would want to do that. It's just other

648
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 2: people speculating. Yeah, I mean, you got to keep trying

649
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 2: him as a starter. It's too early to pull the

650
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 2: place you think Santana is that. I mean, no, Ten's good.

651
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: You know what, they had so many closures come and

652
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: go and they've all been pretty good, and that's kind

653
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: of weird, but it's happened.

654
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 2: Closer is an overrated thing though, Like you can find

655
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 2: a good closer I think pretty decently in MLB.

656
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: Closer is one of those situations tom where baseball just

657
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: ignores logic. For example, if I had a guy who

658
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: you know, had one great inning of pitching in him, yes,

659
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: which is the traditional closer role, right, and the other

660
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: team's best hitters came up in the eighth, I would

661
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: pitch the closer in the eighth, absolutely, But they just

662
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: don't do that. Never they attached the closer to the

663
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: to the last three.

664
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 2: Outs never and in fact, they love having that closer

665
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 2: in those last three out roles so much that you

666
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 2: have seen teams go out and get like other closers.

667
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 2: If you will to be like eighth inning and seventh

668
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 2: inning guys like, you just have to have a lights

669
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 2: out bullpen.

670
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: That's why baseball is almost tough to talk about because

671
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: they they are so adherent to analytics. Now, the numbers

672
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: mean so much, but the stuff we're talking about right now,

673
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: you know that the best reliever should pitch to the

674
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: best batters. That is so logical, but they just won't

675
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: do it. Here here's another thing. Uh, simulations say that

676
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: batting your players in descending order of ops is the

677
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: way to do it. Yes, but they don't do that,

678
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: like they adhere to the number two hitters really important

679
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: used to be the three. Three. They changed it, yeah, two,

680
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: but they never quite get it logical.

681
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 2: Like three was supposed to be your three twenty five hitter.

682
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: You know, the average guys got some pop. Four was

683
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 2: always your traditional you know, forty home run Chilly, the

684
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 2: big bopper was the guy there.

685
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: So that's hillary night. They are doppelbank.

686
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: I thought it was Britney Bow. Honestly, when I first

687
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 2: looked at the TV, she looks nervous. Hillary, It's is

688
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 2: it one? Nothing? Did they get to second intermission?

689
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: They did?

690
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 2: Oh boy, that locker room is going to be like

691
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 2: a funeral scene.

692
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: He only looks nervous. I see OJ, he's very tenseous.

Speaker 2: This report is sponsored by Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

708
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: It's got to be cloudy today with rain developing a

709
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: high and fifty nine more rain showers on the way tonight,

710
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: dropping down to an overnight low of forty six more

711
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: third period to get ready to start USA can in

712
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: a gold medal game for women's hockey. Yeah. That debate

713
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: about if Penguins fans should be mad if Sid plays

714
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: for Canada and isn't as ready as he could be

715
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: or misses a game or two after coming back to

716
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: play for the Penguins. That's being debated by people who

717
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: don't get hockey, don't get the Penguins, don't care about

718
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: the Penguins when the Steelers aren't playing. I showed up

719
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: today vowing not to get mad. I did a very

720
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: angry show yesterday, but boy, it is tough in the

721
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: face of stupidity. The opening eye of the show brought

722
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: to us, as always by our good friends at shender

723
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: Rovid Shendroovic and Fishman. They got your back, not your wallet, Tom.

724
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: What do we got for the trifecta?

725
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 2: For today's trifecta, we're one week away from the Penguins

726
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 2: restarting the quote unquote second half of the NHL season.

727
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 2: So I got three higher profile Penguins that got to

728
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 2: have big second halfs for the Pegins to play into

729
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Number three, I'm gonna go with Skinner, it's

730
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 2: got to be one of the goalies. But I'm gonna

731
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 2: put Skinner as the name here because I think he's

732
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 2: got a takeover as that number one for the playoffs

733
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 2: if they do indeed make it.

734
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: See if they make the playoffs, I would still rotate

735
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: if that's in the playoffs. If that's what they've done

736
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: to that point, I was accepting it.

737
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 2: And you know what she loves. It's almost like I

738
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 2: keep trying to talk him out of being a decent

739
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 2: goaltender and he keeps talking me back into it. It's

740
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 2: just the shootout thing with He's really sorry.

741
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: Regular Shills is a solid goal teacher. I think he's

742
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: a quality number two. And I think if next year

743
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: they go to Morrishoff and Shilloffs, as I expect they will,

744
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: as the two goalkeepers, I don't have a problem with that.

745
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: But he's just so bad on shootouts, so bad.

746
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 2: He's twenty four. He can gross though, but probably not

747
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 2: in shootouts. Number two for me, I'm gonna go with

748
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 2: Ricky Rax. I know he's been hurt a lot this

749
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 2: year and it was named Ricky Rax. Nice could she

750
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 2: score like Ricky Riquel?

751
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: She showed up at one of my youth deck hockey

752
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: tournaments up in mont Pleast, Ricky Racks the stripper. Ricky

753
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: Racks the stripper because there's like a kid's playground, you know,

754
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: there's a thing where kids climb.

755
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 2: Where are we going with this?

756
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: Well, she was dressed totally inappropriately. That's where like a

757
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: big sweatshirt with the arms cut out and side booball

758
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: over the place, and she had a tattoo of herself

759
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: her face on her arm performing a sex act on satan. Like, yeah,

760
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: the kids parents love that. I'm like, what do you

761
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: want me to do? It's you know, it's it's a playground.

762
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 2: It's a free country here.

763
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, she paid to get in.

764
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 2: Not that Ricky Racks though. Ricard Raquel, he's got ten

765
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 2: goals in thirty five games. That's not awful, but you

766
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 2: gotta get more goals rick Ricky Racks. I mean he's

767
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 2: only got four in his past fourteen games as well,

768
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 2: so he's got to fill the name.

769
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm two lost now in the Ricky Rax. That is

770
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: a crazy story. Yeah, I got Josh Joey knows Ricky Rax.

771
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: Does he know the tattoo he's on a three thirty? Yes,

772
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: he does.

773
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 2: That is a shocking tattoo. I would like to see

774
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 2: that tattoo.

775
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: He liked me, has seen her naked. But the tattoo

776
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: really does.

777
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 2: Jump out number one for me, though, I was gonna

778
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 2: be Gino af Guenny Malkin. He's had a really good

779
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 2: first half of the season. I still have a little

780
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 2: bit of doubts though for him fading. But this break

781
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 2: is going to help him be huge for him, huge

782
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 2: for Tang or huge for Kitten, big big, big time.

783
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 2: But but Gino, he's got to keep playing like he

784
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 2: has been throughout this season if they're gonna have any chance.

785
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 2: Now that sits back, I think they do have a

786
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 2: chance to hold onto that playoff spot.

787
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: There's a motorcycle club in Pittsburgh I want to say,

788
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: called the Pagans, and I I like back in the day.

789
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows if I mean the guys I

790
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: knew were still wrong. They were good guys. I used

791
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: to meet him at at the Cuverrotica right into them

792
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: there in mckey's rocks. Ricky Rax dated the Pagans like around,

793
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: like all the Pagans. I think the entire moment past

794
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: the rhyme's too strong a word. I just think she

795
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: was a I mean maybe it wasn't, but but she

796
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: was a She dated the Pagan. This segment brought to us,

797
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 1: but the trifector brought was by Danny's petron Hogi's family

798
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 1: owned and operated since nineteen sixty. That's Stanny's ONT Route

799
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: eighty eight in Bethel Park. This game is really getting done.

800
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: The rug cutting time, which is a kind of ironic statement.

801
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: Women's hockey, Uh eighteen thirty one left in the third

802
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: dead even shots to the US not getting going. That's

803
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: what should disturb you know, the six or seven people

804
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: out there that care about.

805
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 2: This, and they're not pressing for a goal at all, right,

806
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 2: Like you don't see that, you know, bees swarming around them.

807
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: I think they I think they want to. They just

808
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: can't get it going.

809
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 2: You can't see it though, you can't see it building.

810
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 2: And they just had a great chance down there, and

811
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 2: they're working that that wasn't a great chance. It just

812
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 2: looks that way because they're getting zero chances. No, no, no,

813
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 2: that happens. Seriously. One puck that goes in front of

814
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 2: the net with a player kind of there looks like

815
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 2: a great like.

816
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: Whenever Sweden couldn't get going yesterday because the US had

817
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: them skating in sludge in the men's tournament. There were

818
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: times I would think, that's a good chance, didn't I

819
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: correct myself again, that's not a good chance. Submit a

820
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: Jad did get a good chance. He buried it.

821
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, screw him. I hate me because itmit a jet stupid.

822
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: Like I always say about him, he looks like he

823
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: woke up on a park bench.

824
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,240
Speaker 2: Canada's gonna start having Team USA women here skating sleugh sludge.

825
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 2: That seems to be their strategy here is packing it in.

826
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: By the way. One thing I want to add to

827
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: the Penguins. I don't know if you saw this, Tom,

828
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: but Avery Hayes got another hat trick for Wilkes last week.

829
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: That's his second hat trick at Wilkes in eleven days.

830
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: And that's, of course, within the confines of the Olympic break.

831
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: He's expected to stay, you know, in Wilkes because you know,

832
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 1: assuming all the Penguins are are healthy. Well, I mean

833
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: with sid who knows, but they have Kevin Hayes up too.

834
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 1: But the way Hayes has played, Avery Hayes, I would

835
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: have him in Pittsburgh to start after the break, I

836
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 1: would reward success and ride the hot hand. I'd find

837
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: a spot for him in the bottom four somehow.

838
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,240
Speaker 2: If Sid needs a couple of games too, that becomes

839
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 2: a little easier to do right. Because he's I think

840
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 2: he's the obvious college I.

841
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: Know, I think, but I think they probably PLoP Kevin

842
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: Hayes in the lineup. And one thing I hate that

843
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 1: the Penguins sometimes do is they'll call the guy up

844
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: and not play him. They'll scratch him like Christian I

845
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: think has been up twice this year, never played a game.

846
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 2: She just had a nice little press box visit to Pittsburgh.

847
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 1: You guys don't really sit in the press box.

848
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 2: They don't know I think Avery Hayes should be up to.

849
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 2: It's just you run into that roadblock that you just illustrated.

850
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 2: Where do you put him? Because and and that's the

851
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 2: good problem that you have with a team that's in

852
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 2: second place in their division is playing some good hockey,

853
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 2: it's tough to find a place to put him in.

854
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 2: Would you drop Door from the fourth line and put

855
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 2: Hayes there? Skate him there for a hard time doing that?

856
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 2: Doors played well. I didn't mean to pick him out.

857
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what you do, but I mean, see,

858
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer that young guys who played good

859
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: should get rewarded. And let's not forget Hayes was up

860
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: here before the break and got those two goals in Buffalo.

861
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 2: Looks awesome against the Sabers. Yeah, so he's ready, Let's

862
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 2: put it that way. He's ready to play at the

863
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 2: NHL level. But the good problem the Penguins have is

864
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 2: there's no room right now.

865
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: Sure he is ready to play, little schedule, but I

866
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: think he's close. And again, I would want to see

867
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: how it goes because as with Connor Griffin, and I'm

868
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: not comparing Avery Hayes and his potential impacted that of

869
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: Connor Griffin with the Pirates, but high upside. You want

870
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: to see what that upside is. And the sooner the

871
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: better because that's how you go from being good right

872
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: now to maybe even better by the playoffs.

873
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 2: And his speed was just so awesome against the Sabers,

874
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 2: just shot out of a cannon. And that youthful energy

875
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 2: is it's great. Like you can't say that the ben

876
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 2: Kindall factor in the youthful energy hasn't been such a

877
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 2: huge factor in their success.

878
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: This year, another Olympic highlighted report some Norwegian skier won

879
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: his tenth gold medal, but nobody cares because he's a

880
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: Norwegian skier. One oh five nine y x
