1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:07,119 Speaker 1: So many sidebars from that game some kind of amusing 2 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:12,239 Speaker 1: if if meaningless, everybody was bitching, I mean bitching up 3 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: a storm about the start time for yesterday's game at 4 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: eight am Eastern and five am Pacific, like the Olympics 5 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: should push the game back to benefit North American TV. 6 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: You see, because if the Olympics did that, which they 7 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,159 Speaker 1: would never even consider doing, but if they didn't have 8 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: to push back the closing ceremonies and they're on TV 9 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: two Here in North America, we think everything is made 10 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: for TV. It isn't. Everybody who cared got up and watched. 11 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: I don't think the rating for the game was affected 12 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: very negatively at all by being on so early. And 13 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:55,639 Speaker 1: let's not forget the network nbcusa network. By getting that 14 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: kind of audience at eight am. Nobody gets that kind 15 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: of audience for anything at that's a bonus. Everybody loved 16 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,199 Speaker 1: no ads on the boards and no ads on the ice, 17 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: and no ads on the jerseys and helmets, and the 18 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: NHL should get rid of all that in a vacuum. 19 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: I agree, but the NHL needs that revenue. The refereeing 20 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: in the final game was very good. One Canadian, one American, 21 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: which is really the only way you could do it 22 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: unless you got two euros. You don't often hear praise 23 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: given to the refs, but they deserve credit for the 24 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: job they did in the gold medal game. As I 25 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, Eddie Olchek was great with analysis. In fact, 26 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: I thought the announcing on TV was great throughout the 27 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: Olympics except for douchebag Oshi, but Edzo was absolutely at 28 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: the top of his game. Three cups something we've been 29 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: talking about. People bitch about the three on three over time, 30 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: and that includes Cooper, Canada's coach saying it's not really hockey. 31 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: But the three on three overtimes in this tournament were 32 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: all great. The women's final and then the men, Canada 33 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: beating check you, the US beating Sweden. Every single game 34 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: was decided by an absolutely scintillating goal. And that's because 35 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: in Olympic three on three, unlike the NHL, everybody out 36 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: there is a great player. International hockey is one sport 37 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,119 Speaker 1: where the level of play in general, not just three 38 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: on three, but in general, the level of play picks 39 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: up dramatically at the international level. 40 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 2: And then you got to watch the NHL again, Ugh 41 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: and I love the NHL. 42 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: But when you see it, you'll get it unless you 43 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: watch it all the time and will anyway like me, 44 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: But you'll still get it when you see it. That 45 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: ramped up level of play internationally. You don't see that 46 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 1: in basketball at all. I think the Olympic basketball tournament 47 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: looks just like a typical NBA game, and you get 48 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: it to some degree in international soccer. But let's keep 49 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: in mind the soccer has the best talent pool in 50 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: the world because it's number one sport in almost every nation. 51 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: So an English Premier League game, especially between you know, 52 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: teams near the top of the table, has all great players, 53 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: all internationals who play for their country. In most cases 54 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: get your calls in now a three to three, four 55 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: to one two WSDX. Connor McDavid really is the MVP 56 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: of the losers. After his con smythe a couple of 57 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: years back when Edmonton lost the final, then they lost 58 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: the final again this past year, and then now in 59 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: these Olympics he gets tournament MVP. And I look this 60 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: up during a break in his two Stanley Cup final 61 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: elimination games when Edmonton lost in Florida one and the 62 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: series was over, and then adding the gold medal game yesterday. 63 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:07,119 Speaker 1: Those three games, he's minus six with no points. That said, 64 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: he did get the overtime goal to win the Four Nations, 65 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: and don't tell me that doesn't count. It doesn't count 66 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: quite the same as the Olympics. But to some level 67 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: it was a better tournament because you only had good 68 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: teams playing each other with the US, Canada, Finland, and Sweden. 69 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: The emergence of the US Brothers as America's sweethearts makes 70 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: you realize how hard it is to create stars in 71 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: hockey and how bad the NHL is at creating and 72 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: promoting stars. And now it's impossible to be stars in 73 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: places like Minnesota and Newark. The users needed that Olympic platform. 74 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: What they were in the Olympics was always there, that 75 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: charisma and that ability, but nobody knew and the NHL 76 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: didn't know how to use it, even though they did 77 00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: know what happened with the uses at the olymp Bicks 78 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,799 Speaker 1: exposes the NHL shortcomings in that regard that you need 79 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: that platform, that caliber hockey and a lot more people 80 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: caring about it to become a hockey superstar. With Sidney Crosby, 81 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: you know, and a couple others being the exception to 82 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: that rule. But even he has three excuse me, two 83 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: Olympic gold medals and seven six. I wrote this monologue, 84 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: I think assuming he would win yesterday two Olympic gold medals, 85 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: six international gold medals, so he had that platform two 86 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: to burnish everything else he did. And the Minnesota Wild 87 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: they play in the Central time zone. The Devil's are 88 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: New York's third string team. Five on three decided both 89 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,799 Speaker 1: the finals. Getting back to that five on three debate, 90 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: not that it is much of one now I knew 91 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: it was serious crap yesterday when I saw Austin Matthews backchecking. 92 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: I can't emphasize that enough. But good for him. He 93 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: earned it, definitely earned it, you know. But maybe in 94 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: a way captaining the US in this tournament were they 95 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: were a slight underdog, no question about that to Canada. 96 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: Maybe captaining in the US put less pressure on Austin Matthews. 97 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 2: The captaining a. 98 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: Perennial loser in Toronto, with so much pressure to win 99 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: in that city that is hockey's mecca, but hasn't won, 100 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: as Stanley cuppsince nineteen sixty seven, Maybe in these Olympics 101 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: there was less pressure on Austin Matthews and he could 102 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: just go play it. Even though he didn't fill the net, 103 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: he did very well. A funny story from yesterday. I 104 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: was running a deck hockey tournament to benefit the Mary 105 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: Lemoeux Foundation at Bridgeville Hockey Plex and congratulations by the 106 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: way to both winners. Mean machine. In the Sea Division, 107 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: I do C and D. They beat a team with 108 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: a great name, the Chicken Tender Defenders that went to 109 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: a shoot. Uh, we didn't use three on three overtime, 110 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: perhaps we should have. And then the uh the division 111 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: won by wind donation. Second year in a row. They 112 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: won the lower division and they beat Riverview from out 113 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: near Oakmont in the final. But uh, the game was 114 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: on the two TVs at the rink and I was 115 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: watching it, but I was also watching Liverpool play Nottingham 116 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: Forest on my phone, and uh, Twitter was a little 117 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: bit ahead of the TV feed where we were, so 118 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: like when the US scored the first goal, somebody exclaimed 119 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: and then the goal came and that guy was told 120 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: to shut up, and everybody kind of you know, didn't 121 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: spoil things by Twitter. Well, when the game was on 122 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: a knife edge, I don't know sure it was an 123 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,119 Speaker 1: overtime yet but it was tied. 124 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 2: I yelled yes, and. 125 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: Everybody said, what did did somebody score? And yeah, somebody scored. 126 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: Uh Alexis McAllister for Liverpool one nil over Forest one 127 00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: oh five ninety x. 128 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 3: It's the Woody Show tomorrow morning from six till ten. 129 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 2: WHOA for making my day? 130 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 4: Yeah? 131 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 2: What you said? 132 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 4: The exit one oh five nine. 133 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: Today's been great all hockey talk after that great Olympic 134 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: final yesterday. I could do shows like this every day, 135 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: and maybe should. I'm gonna eulogize Bill Mazarowski, who is 136 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: my favorite part as a kid. That's going to come 137 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: at the top of the next hour. But right now 138 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: I want your calls and I have a very basic question. 139 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 1: Does Canada win if Sid plays? And do you feel 140 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: bad for Sid? I do feel bad for Sid. I 141 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: would have preferred Sid played and won. My second choice 142 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: would have been for Sid to play and lose. I 143 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: think for Sid there's nothing worse than than not knowing 144 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: how it might have gone had he played. In terms 145 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: of you know, injuries and you know, because Josh Morris 146 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: he was hurt for Canada too, and he was one 147 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: of their best. In very few puck moving defencemen. But 148 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: injuries happen all the time. It's part of sports and 149 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: should not be used as an excuse. For example, last 150 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: year in the Four Nations Final, McAvoy had been hurt 151 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: earlier in the tournament, quinn Ues wasn't available at all 152 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: in the tournament, and Matthew Kuchuk got hurt in the 153 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: group play and only played a handful of shifts in 154 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 1: the final and not very effectively. And that's not complaining. 155 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: It's not excuse, man, It's just injuries happen in sports. 156 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: Jim Matheson, the fine Edmonton hockey writer. He responded to 157 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 1: a tweet that said maybe we shouldn't let the GM 158 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: of a bottom five team in the league picked the roster, 159 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: referring to Doug Armstrong of the Saint Louis Blues, and 160 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: Matheson replied, very logically, and I quote, the Canadian roster 161 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: was fine. They lost in ot after dominating the last 162 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: forty minutes in gold medal game without Crosby and Morrissey. 163 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: Hellabuck stole this one for USA. And is it art 164 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: given right that we win all the close games. It's hockey, 165 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: it's sports. Sometimes you lose. Jim Matheson is a wise 166 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: man and that was very wisely put. 167 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: Let's go to John in Bridgeville. 168 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: John, you're own with double M mark. 169 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 5: I agree with you one hundred percent about about Sid. 170 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 5: You know, it made me sick looking at the look 171 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 5: on his face when he was accepting that silver medal, 172 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 5: And he definitely. 173 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 6: Would have made a difference, particularly. 174 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 5: In my mind on that five on three, where he 175 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 5: would have done his normal you know, rinky dink, let's 176 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 5: just make the Americans look silly. 177 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: But also no, no, I mean, I mean in theory, 178 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: the talent out there on the power play was enough. 179 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe they were too busy trying to make the 180 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: Americans look rinky dink and didn't concentrate enough one economically 181 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: making plays to put the pucket the net. And I 182 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 1: just think of Sid with that crossbody deflection that he 183 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: specializes in and wondering if it wasn't a good spot for. 184 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 5: That no question, but also the hoo to root for question. 185 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 5: Everyone I was with was about fifty to fifty when 186 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 5: it was up in the air as far as weather 187 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 5: Sid was going to play. As soon as they noticed 188 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 5: that he wasn't going to play, everybody was like, Okay, 189 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 5: then USA, let's root for them all. 190 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would have felt hypocritical switching my allegiance, so 191 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: I just kind of looked at the game with more 192 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: of an analytical bent and was very entertained as a result. 193 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, you see, I think you could have loyalty 194 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: to something besides country, and that's why I wanted Sid 195 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: to play and win. Let's go to Mike in the car, 196 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: Mike gro own with double m Are you doing Mark good? 197 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 6: I think I'm ninety percent positive I Sid would have played, 198 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 6: that they would be Canada would have won, especially on 199 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 6: a Parer play. He could have definitely helped them at 200 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 6: five on three. And I feel bad for him that he, 201 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 6: you know, couldn't play. I really wish that it would 202 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 6: have been entertaining to watch him compete in that last game. 203 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, it means so much to him. 204 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: But again, I'm not unhappy the US one, and I'm 205 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: really happy for Vince Trocheck and JT. Miller both of 206 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: this parish. But uh, you know, I don't know, it's 207 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: it's sports, it's life's rich pageant. There's drama involved in injuries, 208 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 1: and Sid's disappointment or part of that drama. It was 209 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: kind of odd that he was dressed in full equipment 210 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: to go out there and get the silver medal. But 211 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: I suspect that he did that assuming he would go 212 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: out there or hoping certainly. In fact, take take back 213 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 1: that word assuming, because Sid never assumes anything hoping he 214 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: would go out there to celebrate and get the gold medal. 215 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 2: Let's go to dick in Churchill. 216 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 4: Uh. 217 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, I wanted to know. There was a really cool 218 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 7: clip that NBC played later in the day and everyone 219 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 7: I've asked, nobody saw it. 220 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 4: Knows if we'll ever see it. I can't find it 221 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 4: on Twitter. 222 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 7: But they had Sully miked up on the bench and 223 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 7: at one point during the game, he looks at Towarts 224 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 7: and he said, it's regarding Jack Hughes. He says he's 225 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 7: gonna score for US, and Towarts says he is. And 226 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 7: it was really cool, like they called it. They could 227 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 7: see it, but I've only they only played. 228 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: It one I think it even better story is Quinnyu 229 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: said that and he was rooming with his brother. Quinnyu 230 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: said that that he woke up in the middle of 231 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: the night and he asked Jack if he was awake, 232 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: and Jack said, yeah, I was just dreaming about scoring 233 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,319 Speaker 1: the game winning goals. So there you go. If you 234 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: dream it, you can do it. I suppose. Thank you 235 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: for the call.

We've 275 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: been kicking that around. 276 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 4: I mean that the knee jerk answer would be yes, 277 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 4: but I mean nobody has that crystal ball. I mean 278 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 4: it almost seemed like it was state for the US. 279 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 4: I mean, you look at the way the bullets that 280 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 4: they dodged in that hockey game, to be completely outplayed. 281 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 4: The way they were, especially in that second period and 282 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 4: even the third, it was incredible at times, the way 283 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 4: that the puck just would not go win for Canada. 284 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 4: And you know, you could easily say, oh, well said 285 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 4: one of the greatest players ever to play the game. 286 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 4: You put him in the lineup, automatic Canada wins. Sometimes 287 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 4: it just is in your night and that's or day, 288 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 4: I should say. And that's the way it seemed for Canada. 289 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 4: It just seemed like, no matter what they did, that 290 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 4: puck was not going to go in the net once 291 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 4: it was one to one. 292 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with that, and I'm not using that 293 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: as an excuse on anybody's behalf either. I mean, last 294 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: year in the Four Nations McAvoy and quinn Us didn't 295 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: play the final, Quinnus didn't play it all in the tournament, 296 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: and ka Chuck barely played in that final against Canada. 297 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: I agree that Canada had the better the play and 298 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: I think just by extension, we have to say Connor 299 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: Hellibuck proved an awful lot. 300 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 2: He went away from. 301 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: Being a guy who I think has failed Winnipeg a 302 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: few times after great regular seasons not doing so well 303 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. 304 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 2: But he was a brick wall yesterday. 305 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was amazing, because you're right, he has not 306 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 4: had a great season with one of peg. After winning 307 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 4: not only the Vesident last year but also the Heart 308 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 4: as the MVP of the league, which is a rare 309 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 4: double dip for a goaltender to get both of those trophies, 310 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 4: you think he would just be incredible this year and 311 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 4: he has not been. Neither had the Winnipeg Jets after 312 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 4: winning the President's Trophy last year. They're not going to 313 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 4: make the playoffs this year. Hellabuck has not been great. 314 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 4: He's one of those goaltenders that you know, you can 315 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 4: even say about Sergey Lebrowski for the last couple of 316 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 4: years from Florida Panthers. You can say it for egors 317 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 4: to Circle for the New York Rangers. There's been you know, 318 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 4: even Bathsilevsky for the Tampa Bay Lightning. You know, there's 319 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 4: there's certain goaltenders that can cover up blatant mistakes and 320 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 4: leaky defense the teams have and Hellibuck's one of those 321 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 4: guys and for him to kind of, I don't going 322 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 4: to say flip the switch, but to find his game 323 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 4: in such a sprint tournament like the Olympics was pretty incredible. 324 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 4: But you know, for and also give Mike Fallball a 325 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 4: little bit of credit because he identify him as being 326 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 4: his number one guy and he's stuck with him no 327 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 4: matter what he I mean, he did start the Olympics 328 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 4: pretty solid considering. But I think of the seven games 329 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 4: that the US played, I think five of the seven 330 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 4: they won goal against and a big reason was Connor Hellibuck. 331 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 4: But in that last game, in that gold medal game, 332 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 4: that was that was a goaltending performance for the Ages 333 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 4: that you know, ten twenty thirty years down the road 334 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 4: will be sitting around in the middle of July having 335 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 4: a few pops talking about, Hey, remember that Helli Buck 336 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 4: in the in the Olympics against Canada, because that was 337 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 4: an incredible performance and that saved that he made on 338 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 4: Devon Taves. You know, you put that as one of 339 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 4: the greatest. I mean, you know, in Pittsburgh we know 340 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 4: about the save. Right with Frank Peter Angelo for USA Hockey, 341 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 4: they now have the saves. 342 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: Who else besides Hellibuck takes the most away from these 343 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: Olympics in terms of you know, upgraded profile, maybe on 344 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: doing previous damage too. 345 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 4: I think you have to go with Auston Matthews. I mean, 346 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 4: he wasn't incredible, but he did have the sea on 347 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 4: and he got his team over the finish line. And 348 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 4: so for a guy that man, I don't know if 349 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 4: he's ever won going all the way back to pee 350 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 4: wee hockey, I don't think he's ever won anything besides 351 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 4: individual awards. I think you have to kind of tip 352 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 4: your jofa to Austin Matthews because you know, he was 353 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 4: really good defensively, He was noticeable. He seemed to get 354 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 4: better as the Olympics moved forward, as he got more 355 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 4: and more important, he became more noticeable. Even though it 356 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 4: wasn't dominant offensively, he certainly was rock solid defensively. So again, 357 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 4: it doesn't matter what you know, what mask you wear, 358 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 4: or how you do it. If you can find a 359 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 4: way to help your team get to that gold medal, 360 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 4: you got to give a guy like him a lot 361 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 4: of credit. 362 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I thought he did a great job defensively 363 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: in the gold medal game, which is some a sense. 364 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: I never thought uter about Austin but it just goes 365 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 1: to shy how everybody, you know had to pull the 366 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: same rope and do their part to get the US 367 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: to the gold medal. On the other hand, how much 368 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 1: of it hit does Connor McDavid take. He's the MVP again, 369 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: but again in a losing clause. 370 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, here we go again. I mean you 371 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 4: got to give them, you know, let's let's not forget. 372 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 4: He did have the overtime winner in the Four Nations, 373 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 4: you know, so there's there's something there. But you're right 374 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 4: when you go. You know, two times in the Stanley 375 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 4: Cup final you lose both of those, and now you 376 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 4: know in the gold medal game in overtime, uh, it 377 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 4: was your guy that scored. I mean that past never 378 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 4: should have got through it. I mean, it's an unbelievable 379 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 4: player by Zach Warnsky. Let's talk about that. But Connor 380 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 4: mc david was right there. I do find it interesting 381 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 4: that it was Austin Matthews in the Four Nations that 382 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 4: lost Connor McDavid, you know, and so everybody who's pointing 383 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 4: the finger at Austin Matthews in the four Nations and 384 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 4: that overtime lost to Canada. When when Connor McDavid scored 385 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 4: that goal. It's interesting here we're now pointing the finger 386 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 4: of conom McDavid saying you just were not good enough defensively. 387 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 4: That pass never should have got to Jack Hughes to 388 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 4: get by you. And yeah, once again, you know, Conor 389 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 4: McDavid is acknowledged as the best player cater in the tournament, 390 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 4: but doesn't end up with the gold. 391 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. 392 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: In three on three hockey, you got to go man 393 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: to man and he didn't. He let yous find a 394 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 1: pocket behind him, and like he said, Warensky made a 395 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: terrific play. I know you're not the biggest proponent of 396 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: three on three board, gere, Are you anymore sold on it? 397 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: After the great three on three action we saw in 398 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: the Olympics four to three on three games over time 399 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, including the women's final, and everyone had 400 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: a classic goal. 401 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 4: To end it. Yeah, here, double m. I think a 402 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 4: lot of people are forgetting this was not a hockey tournament. 403 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 4: This is the Olympics, okay, And so there's an itinerary 404 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 4: and that's why we had three on three and so 405 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 4: everybody knew going in. It wasn't like, oh my goodness, 406 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 4: well what they changed their mine here and all of 407 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 4: a sudden, we're going to like everybody knew going into 408 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 4: the Olympics was gonna be three on three. They had 409 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 4: closing ceremonies they had to get to. Okay, that's this 410 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 4: is there's a whole program here. 411 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: Well that's why the game was at Eastern time yesterday, 412 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: which everybody was complaining about. But like you said, it's 413 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: not just hockey, it's the Olympics. 414 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's eight o'clock in Pittsburgh, right, but two 415 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 4: o'clock in Italy. And so they can't risk going three 416 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 4: or four, even five, you know, over times. If you're 417 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 4: going five on five, which has happened in the National 418 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 4: Hockey League before, it could happen in the Olympics. So 419 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 4: they didn't risk that. But as far as three, and 420 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 4: I'm fine with it. I'm fine. I knew what the 421 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 4: rules were, I'm fine. So whatever the rules are. If 422 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 4: it's one on one, okay, you play one on one 423 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 4: if you're really the best, If you are the best, 424 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 4: then you freaking get the job done. It doesn't matter 425 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 4: if you have to throw your grandmother out there against 426 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 4: the other team's grandmother. Whatever the rules are, you played 427 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 4: by the rules and made the best team win very well. 428 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 2: Put might I had my grandmother back in the day 429 00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 2: would have. 430 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 4: Been a tear. You don't wanted her and you know, well, yeah, 431 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 4: I'm not surprised at all. 432 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 2: Now getting going from three on three to five on three. 433 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 2: How about that kill? 434 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: And with the Pittsburgh guys involved, Trochick and Miller ninety 435 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: three seconds and then they helped. 436 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 2: Pull it off. 437 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,199 Speaker 4: No double, emmy. We could talk about hellabuck, you know 438 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 4: until we're you know, falling asleep, but you know, to 439 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 4: go a perfect in the Olympics eighteen, Yeah and uh 440 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 4: and in that minute in thirty three and a five 441 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 4: on three situation when you look at the snipers that 442 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 4: were on the ice, and whether it's the goaltending or 443 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 4: the shop blocking, or the active sticks, or winning the 444 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 4: puck battles, of getting the clears, of winning the fake 445 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 4: they did it all. It was incredible again once for 446 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,479 Speaker 4: the ages that you you want to go back and 447 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 4: just watch that minute in thirty three again because it 448 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 4: was just complete desperation and as much skill as there 449 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 4: was to kill that minute thirty two three five on three. Uh, 450 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 4: there's a lot of will there, right, and a sacrifice, 451 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 4: And so if you can dodge that bullet and get 452 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,199 Speaker 4: through that, it's such a boost for your team. It 453 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 4: energizes the bench, it energizes your goaltender, it energizes the 454 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 4: US fans and the building. It was just so huge 455 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 4: to get through that. And again I talked about it earlier, 456 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 4: whether it's posts or side of the net by McKinnon 457 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 4: or the block by McVoy right, you dodge so many 458 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 4: flipping bullets in that game. It's still hard to believe 459 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 4: that US were able to pull that out. 460 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: We're not going to Phil Burke, the old two niner. 461 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: You see him on Sports at Pittsburgh and hear him 462 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,360 Speaker 1: on the Penguins radio network. 463 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 2: How did youse like? 464 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: We talked about this earlier bit, but use getting so 465 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: open in the ot that's incredible to me. 466 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 2: And he made no mistake with the finish. 467 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: That's the thing about the US Brothers, and we know 468 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: it now because I'll be honest, New Jersey's a boring franchise. 469 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 1: Minnesota is in the central time zone. America didn't know 470 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: who they were till this morning, but every time they 471 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: had to make a play and each had an overtime goal. 472 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: Lets not forget they just were so smooth. 473 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 4: And cool, you know. And let's back it up too. 474 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 4: He took a bonehead penalty earlier in the game where 475 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 4: he could have been the goat right, he lost the 476 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 4: puck and then he turned around and he high sticked 477 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,719 Speaker 4: bo Horvat and was in the box, and Horebat showed 478 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 4: he actually had a tooth chipped, and so that probably 479 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 4: should have been a double minor, except he wasn't bleeding, 480 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 4: and that's the difference that he you know, he chipped 481 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 4: the tooth. But to get to your point, the reason 482 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 4: why Hughes is so wide open. He actually makes the 483 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 4: initial play to chip it past macar and then gets 484 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 4: his feet move and get up on the play. What 485 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 4: really makes this And that's just the start of it. 486 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,239 Speaker 4: That's one small The biggest play for me on that 487 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 4: game winning goal in overtime was Zach Wrensky to shove 488 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 4: McKinnon off the puck and then have the presence of 489 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 4: mind and I don't I'm gonna go watch it again, Bok. 490 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 4: I'm not sure if it's a saucer pass or he 491 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 4: just juiced it. But also watch when Hughes gets the puck. 492 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 4: He doesn't stick handled, he doesn't dust it off, he 493 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 4: stops it and shoots it right away. He pops it 494 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 4: and finds a five hole on Bennington. There's just so 495 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 4: many little things that were done on that sequence for 496 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 4: the to end up in the back of the net. 497 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 4: But it was Hughes who started it and Hughes who 498 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 4: finished it, and it was just a beautiful finish. I'm 499 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 4: just so glad. It was a clean goal. It was 500 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 4: you know, there's nobody debating whether goal turner interference, video reviews. 501 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 4: Thank god, there's no there's none of that, right, It's 502 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 4: just clean. It was perfect. It was surgical, and we 503 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 4: put the boots to him like we knew we would. 504 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 2: Is Jack Hughes the face of the league? 505 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 4: Now? 506 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 2: No, how do you figure? 507 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 4: No, Let's know, I'm. 508 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 2: Oh, I think he should be. I think the NHL 509 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 2: should make sure he is. 510 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: He plays in the New York market, he's twenty four 511 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 1: years old, he as a pop star. Girlfriend, let's not 512 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: make it about stats. Let's make it about who's visible 513 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,199 Speaker 1: and who America loves. 514 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 4: Okay, well, I guess, okay, Well you leaned into Sid 515 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 4: for for the gold medal.

He'll stay in the driveway. He's not that 523 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: kind of charisma. 524 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 4: Well, okay, he did, but out of there. 525 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: He's you know, if I might offer criticism, because you know, 526 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,959 Speaker 1: when you criticize me, I don't get mad. You're thinking 527 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: an old school hockey mentality. I'm thinking show biz, and 528 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: the NHL to get more visibility needs to be showbiz. 529 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 1: This kid is not only a good player, but he's showbiz. 530 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: It's not about working hard and GrITT and all that crap. 531 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: This kid's the guy. 532 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 4: No, And that's fine. He's not the guy. I'm not 533 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 4: I'm not buying that March. He's not the guy. He's 534 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 4: a shiny new toy who just scored the overtime winning goal. 535 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 4: And you should you should get him out there and 536 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,360 Speaker 4: shine him up and let everybody google ga ga get 537 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 4: all over him, Okay, And I'm gonna stick with my guy. 538 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 4: I'm gonna stick with Sidney Crossey is the face of 539 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 4: the league. Okay. When we get to the playoffs and 540 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 4: New Jersey's not in it, nobody's gonna be talking about 541 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 4: Jack Hughes. That's true, okay. And so it is tough. 542 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 1: It's tough to be a star in Newark too. I 543 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: freely admit that. I mean, it's Newark, oh is he? 544 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 4: He was so well spoken, and he was so good 545 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 4: in the interview after scoring that the overtime winning goal. 546 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 2: It helped it. 547 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 4: His face was a bloody mess. That all helped with 548 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 4: everything that you're done. So so I'm singing your tune 549 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 4: a little bit, okay, But I'm also leaning into who 550 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 4: really is the face of the league. And I got 551 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 4: no problem dropping them out there, getting them out there 552 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 4: and have them do all kinds of commercials. Hell, send 553 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 4: them to Disney. I don't give a flip and crap them. Okay, 554 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 4: But when it comes when it comes to the playoffs 555 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 4: of this league, it's not Jack Hughes. 556 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, but the poffs, the playoffs don't matter as much 557 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: as what happened yesterday. 558 00:28:58,520 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 2: And I wish they'd but they don't. 559 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, all right, but you know what if you 560 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 4: want to push him out there, and you want to 561 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 4: shine him up and get all the blood off his 562 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 4: face and get his little hot little toddy, you know, 563 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 4: girlfriend of the of the week, get her out there too. Okay. 564 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 4: We can all get all jumping up and down until 565 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 4: the playoffs start in New Jersey's not in it, and 566 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 4: then we forget about jack hus. 567 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, but everybody watching the Olympics won't be watching the 568 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: playoffs because they're in June. 569 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 2: You know. 570 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 4: No, you're right, you know you are. 571 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just and no bigger fan of Sid than me. 572 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: But when your face of the league is thirty eight, 573 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: it's time to look for a different face. 574 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 4: And that's fine. Yeah, at some point you got to 575 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 4: turn them. I just don't. We can go back and forth. 576 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 4: He's just he's not. He's not the guy for me. 577 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 4: He's not. He's too inconsistent in his play. You know, 578 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 4: at times he looks like a pee lee out there playing. 579 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 4: You know, he's like a fantasy player that just showed up. 580 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 4: You know, at times he looks out of his lead. Okay, 581 00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 4: he's just he's not my cup of tea. You know, 582 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 4: the face of the league. You know, I'm listen. I'm 583 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 4: thrilled that he scored the overtime winning goal. He's just 584 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 4: not the guy I think that you can put on 585 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 4: that plateau up there with Sid and the others that 586 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 4: have represented this league. I just don't think he's that guy. 587 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 4: Game in game out, month in month out, year in 588 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 4: year out. I just think he'll he's going to disappoint you. Mark. 589 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: Now, I don't think so you could put him in 590 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: a video game cover. I know that for sure. Now, 591 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: does this victory vindicate Billy Garren because I didn't like 592 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 1: the roster. 593 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 2: We've been over that too. 594 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: But you know, when you win and your role players 595 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: come true as great role players, you made the good decisions. 596 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 4: No, I don't think in my eyes, it doesn't indicate him. 597 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 4: I think it just doubles down everything I knew about 598 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 4: Billy Garran. Because you were not looking for the best team, 599 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 4: you were not looking for the best players, I should say, 600 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,719 Speaker 4: you were looking for the right players. And so he 601 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 4: had a conviction on what the right players for certain 602 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 4: situations that he thought would happen down the road. And 603 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 4: so he nailed it. He absolutely nailed it on the 604 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 4: right players. Whether it's personality, whether it's you know, a 605 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 4: certain role to accept that certain role, whether it's have 606 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 4: a connection with a head coach. I think that there's 607 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 4: so many things to go into the decisions that he made. 608 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 4: And yeah, they weren't the popular ones, but they were 609 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 4: the right ones because he was trying to build a 610 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 4: team to win a gold medal, not to make every 611 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 4: Tom Dick and Harry who had hockey cards up and 612 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 4: you know on their wall that wanted to say, oh, 613 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 4: my guy wasn't on that team. I can't believe you. Also, 614 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 4: like whether it's Jason Robertson or Cole Coffield, all the 615 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 4: players like they would not be able to fit that 616 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 4: role that guy's like Trocheck and Miller did when all 617 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 4: the chips were on the. 618 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: Table, that said, playing devil's advocate here and whatever wins 619 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: is what what was right. But I remember when Steve 620 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: Eiserman was Canada's checking center, he figured. 621 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 4: It out right, well said yeah, exactly, and that's and 622 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 4: that's it. I mean, it's a big swallow of pride, 623 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 4: you know, when you are the best player on your 624 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 4: team and you're you know, you're scoring forty to fifty goals, 625 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, somebody's asking you to play, 626 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 4: you know, eight minutes and to be a fourth line 627 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 4: checker and block shots and to kill penalties. There's not 628 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 4: a lot of guys that are those elite players, offensive 629 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 4: players that are willing to accept that role and do 630 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 4: it game in and game out. 631 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: Finally, Borkie, we got to get back to watching NHL, 632 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 1: and I'm psyched, but I know it's going to look 633 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: slow and not nearly as skilled for quite some time. 634 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 1: And that is the kind of poison pill contained in 635 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: the Olympics, isn't it? 636 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 4: It is? It is. I mean again, when you have 637 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 4: a sprint tournament like that and you have everybody laying 638 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 4: it all on the line, and you're right, when we 639 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 4: get to round number four for the Stanley Cup, yeah, 640 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 4: we get a lot of guys laying on the line, 641 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 4: but we don't have the speed and we don't have 642 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 4: the skill, and we don't have you know, at that level. 643 00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: Game in, everybody's worn out by the too. 644 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 4: Everybody's worn out by then. But when you're playing, you know, 645 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 4: you're basically playing seven games, right, that's from start to 646 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 4: finish that you're a little bit fresher and you're a 647 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 4: little bit hungrier because you know that that piece of 648 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 4: goal uh to be able to be able to have 649 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 4: it dangled around your neck like that is staring your 650 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 4: right in the face. You can get men, a group 651 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 4: of men that do a lot of things that maybe 652 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 4: they wouldn't be able to do and the grind of 653 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 4: a four round playoffs. 654 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: Now, when Jack Hughs is that PPG paint serena on Thursday, 655 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: will you give him a standing ovation with the rest 656 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 1: of the crowd. 657 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 4: Hundred percent, undred percent, one hundred percent he deserves it. 658 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,719 Speaker 4: I don't know. I would assume the Penguins are going 659 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 4: to do something. I would imagine they would. Yeah, I 660 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 4: think you do, right. You have to just the first time, 661 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 4: just to acknowledge it, right, I think is so unique 662 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 4: and so special. Right, the first game back, it's it's 663 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 4: actually going to be the second game to New Jersey. 664 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 4: They play at home against Buffalo the night before, so 665 00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 4: it's a back to back for them, but first time 666 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 4: in Pitts. I think it would be the classy move 667 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 4: to just do something and just salute him. And congratulate him, 668 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 4: and I do, I think, especially because you're in a 669 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,439 Speaker 4: US city and US just won, I think it would 670 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 4: be the right thing to do. 671 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 1: You know why, You'll stand from Borkie because he's the 672 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: face of the league, you know it. One last thing 673 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: I got to bring this up. This is shortly before 674 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: you joined the club, but I remember when Mark Johnson 675 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: joined the Penguins right after the eighty Olympic Games and 676 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 1: we tied nothing, nothing against Minnesota. It was the worst 677 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,399 Speaker 1: game ever. I hope we come back a little more 678 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,360 Speaker 1: energetic than that. But boy, isn't it like the NHL? 679 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 1: And I know you can't help this stuff, but Jack 680 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 1: Hughes is gonna come back from Milan, the hero of 681 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 1: the games, hungover, probably still a little bit tipsy, and 682 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna make him play games and back to back nights. 683 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 2: If that's not the NHL, I don't know what is. 684 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 4: That's it, man, Get right back to the grind and then, 685 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 4: probably just like the Penguins, you're gonna flip the calendar 686 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 4: over the March and place seventeen games in thirty one 687 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 4: days and maybe get one time during the whole month 688 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,879 Speaker 4: two days off and probably one of those days will 689 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 4: be a travel day. Welcome to the NHL in the Olympic. 690 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 2: Season, Borky, great stuff. We'll do it again next week. 691 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 4: Sounds good. Double i'm s try our time together. Good 692 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 4: hockey talk. 693 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: That's Phil bork talking about Jack Hughes, the face of 694 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 1: the league. Is he the face of the league? You 695 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,359 Speaker 1: tell me eight three three four one two WSDX
