1 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,039 Speaker 1: They had a lot to talk about today in Liverpool 2 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: leading at the half. It's a great day so far. 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: Joining me now from the post because that's always a 4 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: pleasure to talk to columnist Paul Zeiss. Paul, let's stick 5 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: with the basics. Who would you pick right now to 6 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 1: be the new Steeler coach and why would you pick him? 7 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 2: I'll tell you I don't know enough about these guys 8 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 2: from the Rams, but it triggers me to have a 9 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 2: guy like sure, if he's able to bring the other 10 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 2: the past game coordinator, you know, it seems like you 11 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 2: gets the best of both worlds. Sean McVeigh obviously is 12 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 2: a really brilliant coach. I think, you know, the way 13 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 2: he runs his team and the way that he runs 14 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: his offenses, it's exactly what the Steelers need. It seems 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 2: like Chris shul is a really good young defensive mind. 16 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 3: So that combination is. 17 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: Something that I really probably am most interesting because I 18 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 2: think I think they would, you know, bring and cover 19 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: all of the bases that need to be covered, you know, 20 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 2: I know they interviewed Mike McCarthy today. I mean, you 21 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 2: might as well stay with Mike Tomlin if you're gonna 22 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 2: do that. 23 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 3: I'm not sure really, you know, if that makes a 24 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 3: ton of sense, you know, but well, yeah. 25 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: If you have McCarthy, you're just gonna run it back. 26 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: You're gonna try to win right this second, gonna recycle 27 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: an old quarterback. 28 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 4: I mean, who knows. 29 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: They might make Shuwa or whoever do that anyway, But 30 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: with McCarthy, I would say the intense obvious, wouldn't. 31 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: You, Yeah, I mean, and it seems it would seem 32 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 2: like you're trying to hang on to Aaron Rodgers. It 33 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 2: would seem like you're trying to, you know, do another 34 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: year where you can slop together. 35 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 3: Nine or ten wins and. 36 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: Hope that, you know, you get to the playoffs and 37 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 2: all that stuff. But to me, it feels like the 38 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 2: steerers generally, when they want to go in a different directions, 39 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 2: sort of go in a different direction. They like to 40 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 2: hire young that to hire up and comers. So to me, 41 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 2: McCarthy just doesn't make sense. And I always say this, 42 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: and I used to say this, you know when Pitt 43 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 2: used to go through coaches every other year and everyone 44 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 2: screamed and yelled that they need a pit guy. You know, 45 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: if you took the fact that Mike McCarthy is from Pittsburgh. 46 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: Out of the equation, would he even be on the list, 47 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 2: would even be somebody you would interview, would even be 48 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 2: somebody who would bring in and talk to. No, No, 49 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: he's nothing against damn, but he doesn't fit the profile 50 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 2: of what you're looking for. 51 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 4: Well, let me tell you what I think. 52 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: For sure, everything you said is right, but let me 53 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: go one notch further. If he wasn't from Pittsburgh, the 54 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: talk show callers and the talk show host would be 55 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: saying what a terrible idea it is. For the reasons 56 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: it is a terrible idea. 57 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: Right, I mean, it doesn't fit the profile of what 58 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: they're looking for, It doesn't fit the profile of what 59 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 2: they generally do when they hire people, and it doesn't 60 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 2: really move the franchise in a different directions. 61 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 3: It's more of the same basically. 62 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 2: You know, this guy has a formula where he can, 63 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: you know, figure out how to win enough games to 64 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 2: get to the playoffs, and you hope that you hit 65 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: lightning in a bottle with Aaron Rodgers. Well, what we 66 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 2: saw this year is there probably isn't any more. 67 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 3: Lightning in that bottle. 68 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: So move forward, you know, and I've heard people say, well, 69 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 2: he's a quarterback, whisper Well, that's great, but they don't 70 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 2: have a quarterback, so what's the point that's true. 71 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 4: There's nobody to whisper to. 72 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: And I keep getting pissed, Well not really because honestly, Paul, 73 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: but you know, I legitimately don't care. But they always 74 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: think about now. It's always about now. And look at 75 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: the Patriots who totally rebuilt and got a franchise quarterback 76 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: six years after Brady left here in the AFC Championship 77 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: game because they reap the value of going four and thirteen. 78 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 4: At some point you got to do that. 79 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: And I know there's a lot of examples, and Mike 80 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: the course he did cite them to prove otherwise. 81 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 4: But I'll take my chances with four and thirteen. 82 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 2: Again, Like I get a kick out of all these 83 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: guys who find a way to port whatever the narrative 84 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 2: is they have and they want you. 85 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: Don't say most of them, Paul. Whatever narrative the Steelers 86 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: put forth, here's. 87 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 3: The narrative that I would tell you. 88 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: The final four teams in the in the in the 89 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 2: in the that are still standing in the in the 90 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: NFL and the playoffs. You know, in the playoffs, we've 91 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 2: got two first overall picks, a third overall pick, and 92 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 2: eleventh and eleven overall pick. 93 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: I think it's one. It's a one, two threes and 94 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: a twelve with Nix hurt. But yeah, it's the proofs 95 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: in the pudding for sure. 96 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, Nix is the twelve. I think May was what 97 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 3: a three? Right? 98 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 2: And and Stafford and uh, who's the other one? 99 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 3: Stafford was a one overall? And who was the other one? 100 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 3: I forget didn't even think who's Yeah? 101 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, Pa was a three? Yeah, so one, three, three, 102 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:49,239 Speaker 4: and twelve. 103 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly what I'm trying to make. 104 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 2: Ause you've got guys, you know, three guys that were 105 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 2: four guys that were all drafted in the top twelve picks. 106 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 2: You go back, you start looking at guys like Mahomes, 107 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 2: you know what I mean, and everybody will point the 108 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 2: Brock party. You know, Who's what I would call the exception, 109 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: as was Tom Brady. For the most part, guys that 110 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: are drafted high are the best guys in the draft 111 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: for a reason. 112 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 3: So to me, I feel like, you know this idea. 113 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 2: That you can somehow magically, you know, figure out a different. 114 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 3: Formula, it just doesn't happen, you know. Yeah, do you 115 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 3: have to hit on the right people, Yeah, you do, 116 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 3: just like you have to hire the right coach. 117 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 2: But that is a different discussion than the fact that 118 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 2: if you are drafting at the top of the draft 119 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: a couple of years, it gives you a much better 120 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 2: chance of actually having success. 121 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: Well, Paul, when you look at what the Patriots did too, 122 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: they drafted mac Jones I think it was fifteenth, and 123 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: it didn't work, so they drafted Drake me a couple 124 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: of years later. You keep throwing it at the wall 125 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: until something sticks, whereas the Steelers drafted Picket and then 126 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,119 Speaker 1: just recycled old guys when that didn't work. 127 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 2: Well, I think that's the other lesson you can learn 128 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 2: from the Patriots, Mark is the and the Eagles too. 129 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 2: They hired Jared Mayo to be the coach. 130 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 3: Guy that was, you know, very popular. 131 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: Former player, you know all that other stuff, and guess what, 132 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 2: by about six games into his time, they figured out, 133 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 2: this guy has no idea what he's doing. He's weighing 134 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 2: over his head, and guess what, We're firing him and 135 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 2: we're gonna hire somebody who's. 136 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 3: Confident and the bottom line is, if he had been 137 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 3: a Steelers coach, he had probably been. 138 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 2: Year five before they decided they were gonna get rid 139 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 2: of him. And I think that's one of the things 140 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 2: that Steelers have to start to try and think about 141 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 2: and do is be pulled and don't be afraid and 142 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: go make moves that you know that are gonna give 143 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 2: you a chance. I mean, you know they wanted The 144 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 2: Eagles won a Super Bowl with Doug Peterson. He fell 145 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 2: off the cliff. They said, the hell, get the hell 146 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 2: out of here. They hired this guy. You know what, 147 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 2: he came in, he won a Super. 148 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 3: Bowl, got to another one, and you know what, in win. 149 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 2: This year and they're talking about cannon him next year 150 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 2: if he doesn't do it. The bottom line is, it's 151 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 2: a different world now.

So 172 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 2: you know the thing about it is, if you go 173 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 2: with him, and here's the here's the argument I would make. 174 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 2: If you go with him and he flames out, then 175 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 2: you know what you're You're exactly where you want to be. 176 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 2: Where you get a high draft pick and go find 177 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 2: another quarterback and he plays well, then you've got to 178 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 2: beg young quarterback.

I think 188 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: that's where salvation lies.

But 347 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 5: before that, so there's a whole since Tomlin opt to 348 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 5: have his contract early, people the trade for him, is 349 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 5: that just more of a. 350 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 6: Money cap thing or can we actually get something more 351 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 6: out of. 352 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's not gonna He's not gonna coach this year. 353 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 4: It's a moot point, is what it is. 354 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 5: Okay, so it's completely irrelevant. 355 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 4: I think it is. 356 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not a lazy talk show host. I 357 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: know a lot of people make a meal out of it. 358 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: They should trade Tomlin for this, trade Tomlin for that. 359 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: He's not going to coach this season. And everybody knows 360 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: why he's not going to coach this season. It's reasons 361 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: beyond football, but they still slip into lazy talk radio 362 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: and I do not. 363 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 4: Let's go to Matt. Matt, you're on with Double M. 364 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 7: Hey, Mark, I got a question about Mendoza. What do 365 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 7: you think the chances are he pulls like in La 366 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 7: or an Eli Manning and refuses to play for the 367 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 7: Raiders as they draft him and demands a trade. 368 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 4: You know, it's been quite a while since somebody pulled that, 369 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 4: hasn't it been. 370 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 7: It's not since Eli Manning. 371 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. That's a good question. 372 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: Uh My candidate to do it has always been Arch 373 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: Manning when he comes into the draft. It wouldn't shock 374 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: me if he would refuse to play for the Steelers 375 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: if the Steelers drafted him. I just think the Mannings 376 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: are used to getting their way. They're big names, they're powerful. 377 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: Eli did it. I would bet. I would bet that 378 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: Arch will try to dictate where he goes. I really 379 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: do think that. But as far as Mendoza, I don't know. 380 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: I haven't seen him. I mean I don't know. 381 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 4: I mean. 382 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: He doesn't have I mean he's getting big nil at 383 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: in Indiana. 384 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 4: I don't know. 385 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: Put it this way, I would, I just don't know 386 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: that he's that type of kid. What do you think 387 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: I would as well? 388 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 7: I know he made it in business the Cow and 389 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 7: he's getting his NBA from the Kellogg School at Indiana. 390 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: Oh wait, wait wait, I know why he won't. I 391 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: know why he won't. He wouldn't do that to Brady. 392 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: He's going to be a mark for Brady being involved 393 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 1: with the ownership in Vegas in the football development, despite 394 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: it being just a gigantic conflict of interures with his 395 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 1: job at Fox. But Tom Brady is, you know, just 396 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: proof that If you're powerful enough, you can get away 397 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: with whatever you want. Tom Brady absolutely should not be 398 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: allowed to be on Fox and be the Raiders owner. 399 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 4: Absolutely should not, But he's Tom Brady.

But what 447 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: if they both are out? How can that defense corp 448 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: function without those two or even one, especially in terms 449 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: of puck movement. 450 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 5: One keep it simple and the other thing is on 451 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 5: the forwards, making sure at the offensive blue line it 452 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 5: gets in, no turnovers, all that East West stuff. Kind 453 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 5: of get rid of it and go norse out. Keep 454 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 5: the game as simple as possible, so you're playing the 455 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 5: lesson your own end. And then he talked about the players, 456 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 5: is about guys stepping up. You know, Graves has been 457 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 5: you know, up and down. He's been down most of 458 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 5: the year. This is a big opportunity to show not 459 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 5: only the Penguins but other teams in the league that 460 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 5: he's an NHL player. So I think it comes you know, 461 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 5: I think it might be a good time to see 462 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 5: guys kind of fill in different roles. But it's definitely 463 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 5: a big hole to fill with. Maybe two of those guys, oh, 464 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 5: because both have been playing pretty well over the last 465 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 5: couple months. 466 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: Well, a few guys, like you said, have gotten opportunities 467 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: with with with defenseman injured. 468 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 4: What's your take on Connor Clifton. 469 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: He wasn't in the line up much at season's beginning, 470 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: but he's had a couple of good games recently, hasn't he. 471 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 3: Yeah? 472 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 5: You know what what I like about him is he 473 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 5: brings a little sand paper to the game, Like he 474 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 5: plays like a little ratty game that we haven't seen 475 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 5: from a defenseman in a long time. And when I 476 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 5: see the guys he kind of cheap shots or he 477 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 5: goes after even you know that hit from behind, Like 478 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 5: he he's a smart player, as in he goes after 479 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 5: the top guys, the top two line guys, not the 480 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,959 Speaker 5: third and fourth wine guys. He's very smart at that. 481 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 5: Watch watch next game. Like even the hit from behind, 482 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 5: he hit Brandon, he hit point or who do he 483 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 5: hit someone? Point? 484 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 1: Yeah it was a penalty, but yeah he he it was. 485 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't like it palty, but at least 486 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: he the right guy, I know what you mean. 487 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 5: And after that the team kind of found another gear. 488 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 5: Like it it went from being kind of not a 489 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:26,120 Speaker 5: stale game, but when he did that, the game got 490 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 5: to another level. And I think he's been playing great again, 491 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 5: he's a young guy. I think he's trying to find 492 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 5: his way, trying to establish himself. But he does bring 493 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,479 Speaker 5: that sandpaper that I really like. And you know, he 494 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 5: doesn't turn the puck over. He plays pretty solid in 495 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 5: his own end and he finished his checks, which is 496 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 5: good to. 497 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: See in that vein t K want to talk about 498 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: the fourth line Achari and Laza Ender And I'm normally 499 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: not a fan of like what I call a hero 500 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: fourth line, but. 501 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 4: These guys fit the description. They're making impact, aren't. 502 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 5: They, And I find them they're like the new modern 503 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,959 Speaker 5: day fourth line, right they They don't really have a 504 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 5: tough guy on the line. You know, it's not like 505 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,719 Speaker 5: there's one guy that fights the other guy. It's an energy. 506 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 5: It's like a third line pushed down in the fourth line. 507 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 5: You know, they all compete. They're little water bugs and 508 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 5: they're so good at hanging onto the pock down low 509 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 5: like wearing teams out and the effort, that second effort 510 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 5: that the lazatte brings doers got more skill than I 511 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 5: think even Kyle Dubis might have thought getting them because 512 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 5: once you have ten or eleven goals right now, as 513 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 5: a fourth liner, like that's I think, yeah, like we'll 514 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 5: take that as a fourth line guy. 515 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 3: That's huge. 516 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 5: And then Noel, he's just a solid Craig Adams like 517 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 5: player that fits in really well. 518 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 3: With those guys. But I love them. 519 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 5: They they're they bring an energy to the lineup that 520 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 5: I'd like. That you that he trusts that's another thing 521 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 5: that Muse trusts them, throwing them out there app against 522 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,679 Speaker 5: the second line if the other two lines need to break. 523 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 5: He is not shy to put him out against top 524 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 5: lines because he knows he play. They play responsible with 525 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 5: the puck and you know they're not fancy. They chip 526 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 5: the puck in and go to work. You know, they 527 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 5: got the lunch pale mentality and that's what you need 528 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 5: from your fourth line. And they create them right. They 529 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 5: create penalties, they create payoffs, and that's exactly what I 530 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 5: think the modern day fourth line should look like. 531 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: Stuart Skinner's going to make a second straight starting goal tonight. 532 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: Do you think he's inching toward being the number one goalie, 533 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: you know, getting like maybe sixty percent of the starts, 534 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: maybe two out of every three, because I think he's 535 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: looked slightly better than shilloffs and certainly better in the shootout, 536 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: although we don't know because shilloffs by bad fortune gets 537 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 1: all the shootouts. 538 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think again, it takes a little bit of 539 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 5: time to get comfortable. I think he's getting better every game, 540 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 5: and yeah, I do think he's probably going to be 541 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 5: the number one. He went all the way to the 542 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 5: Stanley Cup finals last two years. That brings an area 543 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 5: about your confidence that I think the team feels, and 544 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 5: I think it's good. I'm I'm a little bit different 545 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 5: where I run my I would run my goalie until 546 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 5: the wheels fall off. I wouldn't go back and forth. 547 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 5: I like when coaches stay with the same goalie until 548 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 5: you lose or he doesn't play well. Because for the Penguins, 549 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 5: like these these games right now, these points right now 550 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 5: where I think they can make or break the playoffs. 551 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 5: If you have a goalie that's playing well in your confident, 552 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 5: why would you go back to your backup or your 553 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 5: other goalie when he's starting to feel it Like? It's 554 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,239 Speaker 5: all about rhythm, right, It's all about confiden It's all 555 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 5: about rhythm, And that's why I feel like the old 556 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 5: school guys like Flower bro Or they wanted that in 557 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 5: that every night because it's almost like you stay in 558 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 5: that the heat of the moment, the rhythm of the games, 559 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 5: and you just get in that pattern when you're on 560 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 5: and off. I do feel it's tough for a goalie, 561 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 5: but they've been doing it pretty well. But I'm hoping 562 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 5: he has another good game tonight and he just kind 563 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 5: they keep throwing it in his court to play better 564 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 5: and better, because again, he does have the skill to 565 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 5: do it. 566 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: Well, here's the weird party, k He's not going to 567 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 1: play tomorrow night. He's not going to play back to 568 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: back nights on a road trip. But they play at Edmonton. 569 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: Of course, the team he got traded from. It's a 570 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: little odd that they didn't give a shot to go 571 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,719 Speaker 1: back to Edmonton and play, which I'm sure he wanted, 572 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: but I can also see why he wouldn't. It takes 573 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: a little bit of emotion out of the game if 574 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 1: it's hilloffs in goal, and maybe that benefits the Penguins. 575 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 4: What's your take on that situation. 576 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 5: Well, I think that's a great explanation of why they're 577 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,239 Speaker 5: not playing them, because when you have a guy that 578 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 5: played for you last two years, a little bit more. 579 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 3: Emphasis on that game. But if you do. 580 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 5: Like you said, take about it's more of a maybe 581 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 5: a stale er headline going to the game. So hopefully 582 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 5: you catch the Edmonton oiler sleeping a little bit coming 583 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 5: playing against the Pittsburgh Penguins, which they probably won't because 584 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 5: of the Sidney Crosby effect. 585 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's David against Sid. McDavid always turns it up. 586 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, David flies all the time, but against 587 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: the Penguin and Sid, it's just another dimension. 588 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, And like you can't blame him, right, Like no, 589 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 5: like McDavid zaid, like he grew up with the poster 590 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 5: on his wall of Sidney Crosby. And then when you 591 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 5: play against your you know, your boyhood idol, like you 592 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 5: want to show him how good you are too, And 593 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 5: that's why I think he leveled, Like you know, that's 594 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 5: why he plays so good. And then we think of 595 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 5: Ovechkin and Sid. How many great games have we seen 596 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 5: those two play? Just because every one of those guys 597 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 5: thinks and wants to be the best. And McDavid's no different. 598 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 5: He's going to get the guy that's kind of ran 599 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 5: the realm for twenty years and he's this new guy. 600 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 5: Well you know, he's a new guy. New superstar on 601 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 5: the block, like he wants to show Sid that it's okay, 602 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 5: that he's the next guy that can kind of take over. 603 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 7: Well. 604 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: It's funny though, because mcdavi has been around obviously for 605 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: a number of years, but he never seems to take 606 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: this game against Pittsburgh and against sid for granted, I 607 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: kind of wish you'd start. We're talking todk here on 608 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: one oh five ninety x DK speaking of Sid has 609 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: anybody ever been better deflecting the puck than Sidney Crosby 610 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: That goal to diet late against Columbus, It's like watching 611 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: Picasso paint. 612 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, And like you know, I've personally seen grist Latang 613 00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 5: and Sidney Crosby do it every single prize. Like people 614 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 5: think here and there, No, no Sid works on that 615 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 5: side tip. He's probably done it a million times in practice. 616 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 5: And to see it, you know, keep working. It's unreal. 617 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 5: And now when it works so much, now the other guys, 618 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 5: other defensemans are looking for sid because they know he 619 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 5: comes around the back kind of gets lost and he's 620 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 5: got that split second where he jumps in that open 621 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 5: space and it's it's a great move. He gets lost 622 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,959 Speaker 5: a little bit, but the tips and all that stuff, Like, 623 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 5: it's not because he was born being a great tipper. 624 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 5: It's because of the work and that he put in, 625 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 5: you know, Like what makes sid so special is how 626 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 5: dialed in he is and how he's willing to work 627 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 5: on stuff that like most guys won't, you know, like 628 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 5: you rarely see guys in practice work on tips, never 629 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 5: see guys work on backhands like I'm talking to like 630 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 5: the little kids out there, Mark that just want to 631 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 5: shoot top shelf every time. When you think of a 632 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 5: guy like Sidney Crosby, and what makes him so good 633 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 5: is one doing stuff that other people won't do, Like 634 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 5: I said, tips, backhands, eating healthy. 635 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 3: Because over the last. 636 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 5: Little bit, I'm like wow, Like when I look over 637 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 5: my career all like the unbelievable players, let's think of 638 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 5: McK david. What this McDavis got. I've never seen skating 639 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 5: and skating like his in my whole life. And then 640 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 5: I'm like, well, well what about sid And I'm like, well, 641 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 5: he doesn't have a hard shot, right, His SHOT's good 642 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 5: and it's gotten a lot better, but it's never at 643 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 5: the top, say ten in the league. Right his skating, 644 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 5: No one's better at protecting the puck, but pure speed, 645 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 5: he might not be the top ten. So, like, how 646 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 5: is he one of the best players to ever play 647 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 5: the game. And it's because there's no one more dialed 648 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 5: in and detailed and will and wanting to get better 649 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 5: every day than sid And it starts in his practice, 650 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 5: from going out early getting passes from the assistant coach 651 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 5: ripping them, or after practice grabbing a defenseman and doing 652 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 5: that silly tip that he's probably got one hundred and 653 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 5: fifty goals off, you know in his career. Yeah, it's 654 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 5: it's unreal. But Mark the stuff he like, he is 655 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 5: so like everything he does is right on point, from 656 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 5: his eating everything Mark and and I've been around Hall 657 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 5: of Fame guys and I've never seen anyone dialed in 658 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 5: like him. And that's why he's having the career. That's 659 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 5: why he's probably playing the best out of any guy 660 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 5: at his age I've ever seen. And it's because every day, 661 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 5: you know, he goes, hey, I'm eating healthy, I'm going 662 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 5: to bed early. His mindset that that's what makes Sidney 663 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 5: Crosby one of the best players ever. And then when 664 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 5: you see that connection with Latang doing the side of 665 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 5: the net, is like, oh my god. The Pittsburgh Penguins 666 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 5: fans have seen this like fifty times in the career, 667 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 5: Like how the goalie's not going to figure out when 668 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 5: eighty seven's on the ice and it goes to the 669 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 5: point he's trying to sneak beside you to get a tempt. 670 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 3: So I like the fun. 671 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: I like Chinnikov so far. What's your take. I like 672 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: that he shoots a lot. A lot of players pass 673 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: up good shots these days. 674 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 5: You're talking to a guy that never turned down a 675 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 5: pass that, yeah, never turned down a shot. I didn't, 676 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 5: Matt Cook. You said he's had the horse blinders on 677 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 5: once I went over the blue line. But it's because 678 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 5: I didn't want to pass the cookie. I was playing 679 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 5: the percentages that if I missed it better than passing 680 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,479 Speaker 5: the Cook. But anyways, I love this guy. I think 681 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 5: he plays very well with Milkin. He's a shooter, he's 682 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 5: got maybe one of the best shots on the Penguins, 683 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 5: and he's not shy to get it off. And he 684 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 5: filled a little bit of a hole on the penalty 685 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:07,959 Speaker 5: in the shootouts. 686 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 3: Right. 687 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, we found a guy that, like, you know, 688 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 5: we're like, oh, he actually has a really good chance 689 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 5: to score. He's got a great track record, he has 690 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 5: a great move where he goes. He uses his speed 691 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 5: to go fible, kind of like how Sib used to do. 692 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 5: But I like him. I think he plays well with Milkin. 693 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 5: I think he's a he's an unbelievable pick up. And 694 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 5: I talked to a guy that talked that was I 695 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 5: was actually in Columbus with my son this week and playing, 696 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 5: and we were asking some of the Columbus whole like 697 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 5: why didn't like why how did we get a player 698 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 5: like this. 699 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 3: For Heinen? 700 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 5: And they're like it was because the old coach. 701 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 4: Was like and he just butted heads constantly. From what 702 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 4: I'm but it head and yeah, and. 703 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 5: He just if he turned the puck over once, he'd 704 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 5: sit for a period and they just butted heads and 705 00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 5: it just wasn't a good fit. But everyone in Columbus 706 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 5: loved him. They thought he was a great player with 707 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 5: a real high ceiling. And to see him leave was 708 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,359 Speaker 5: kind of like weird because they fired their coach after 709 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 5: and it was like, well, why do we get rid 710 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,240 Speaker 5: of a first rounder when you knew you were firing 711 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 5: the coach? 712 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 3: So I don't know, I like him. I'm glad we. 713 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 5: Picked him up. I thought we win the trade, and 714 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 5: I think he's just gonna keep getting better with the 715 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 5: more icy gets. 716 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: He always thinks the Penguins at some point, you know, 717 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: maybe in the offseason going to make a move for 718 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: Jason Roberts and the Dallas winger. Whether it's no to 719 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: sign up to an offer sheet in the offseason as 720 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: a restricted free agent or trade for him. And it's 721 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: logical TK because Dallas can't afford to re up him 722 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: after having signed Ranton In and Heiskinnen and Attinger, you 723 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: know the names, but the Penguins could. 724 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,439 Speaker 4: How good is he? I mean, that's a guy. 725 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 3: Boy. 726 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: If you get him a twenty six, that's a star 727 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: in his prime, isn't it. 728 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:51,759 Speaker 3: Yeah. 729 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 5: And I think that's part of Kyle Duwis's grand scheme, 730 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,360 Speaker 5: finding guys like that. That's why he's building up this 731 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 5: caps because when guys like that come up, he's one 732 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,800 Speaker 5: of the front runners because he's got money to spend 733 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 5: on guys like that, and he's part of the next 734 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:15,240 Speaker 5: generation of talent. Right he's twenty six, he's an All Star, 735 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 5: he's a great player. He's a guy that can take 736 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 5: the range and put up big points when Sid and 737 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 5: Gino aren't there. I think that would be a huge 738 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 5: move in a great move for the Penguins moving forward 739 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 5: to get a guy like that, because I like the kid. 740 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 5: I think he's a great player. I think he gets 741 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 5: lost a little bit Dallas because they don't get much 742 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 5: publicity there. But that would be a big move, and 743 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 5: again he would be part of that next generation of 744 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 5: stars for the Pittsburgh Penguins that we're looking for. Again, 745 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 5: he's a highlight, real guy. And you got to give 746 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 5: credit to Kyle Dubas because three or four years, you know, 747 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 5: two years ago, he started, you know, getting rid of 748 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 5: some of that, you know, the guys that have had 749 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,280 Speaker 5: a lot of eating up a lot of cap space. 750 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 5: You know, the you know, the jar E's, the guys 751 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 5: like that. So when things like this come up, he 752 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,720 Speaker 5: can have that big lure to catch the big fish. 753 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 5: So I think I hope it comes true, you know, 754 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 5: hopefully maybe at the deadline if they can't come to 755 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 5: an agreement. 756 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,399 Speaker 1: Finally, TK I don't want to jinx it and I'm 757 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 1: not assuming anything, and I know what the standings look like. 758 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 1: But the Penguins kind of look more and more like 759 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:31,399 Speaker 1: a playoff team, don't they. 760 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:38,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's they play a it's crazy that we're saying, Like, 761 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 5: I feel like they play a pretty structured game like 762 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 5: they've they've they've they've made some big differences in their 763 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:51,800 Speaker 5: defensive game, from blocking shots to get in puck lanes, 764 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,760 Speaker 5: to learn like to having a fourth line, to wearing 765 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 5: teams down, to finding a goalie, finding two goalies that 766 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 5: aren't letting first shot, first goal in to kind of 767 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 5: sink them right off the bat like. And then you 768 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 5: think of some of their additions, some of the depth 769 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 5: editions that have worked out very well. The Bras, oh 770 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,759 Speaker 5: the Mantha, you know, like those guys are doers, the 771 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 5: guys that are a little piece. 772 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 3: Of the puzzle. 773 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 5: You know, they are they gonna eat up all these myths, No, 774 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 5: but they are going to help pull the rope. So 775 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 5: when you see that, when you have a team that 776 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 5: plays all four lines that are all structured, that are 777 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,839 Speaker 5: all doing the same thing, it's it's great to see. 778 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 5: And that's what you need from a team that wants 779 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 5: to play in the playoffs. And the only thing sometimes 780 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 5: I see is when you get Latang Carlson all these 781 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 5: guys back. Once they get on a roll, sometimes they 782 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 5: almost get overconfident and they start they start getting into 783 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 5: their old happens where they have to lose word a 784 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 5: couple of games and they're like, no, no, we're not 785 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 5: this high end ski team. We need to play a 786 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 5: structure game to keep winning games. And that's what's happening 787 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,760 Speaker 5: right now. Again, they lose a couple, they figure out, Okay, 788 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 5: we're not that team like we were last year. Let's 789 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 5: get back to what the Pittsburgh Penguins need to do 790 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,719 Speaker 5: to win hockey. And that's what they're doing. And you know, 791 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 5: it's a fun team to watch right now. 792 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 4: TK, great stuff. Will do it again soon.

Harry, you're on with Mark. 856 00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 2: Hey, Mark, I don't know what your primary years at 857 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,799 Speaker 2: cover in high school works were, but as you ever 858 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:02,880 Speaker 2: covered Danny Marino. 859 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 1: The first game I ever covered and got paid to 860 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,279 Speaker 1: write a story about was for a paper called the 861 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 1: North Hills Free Press. It was Central, it was Central 862 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 1: Catholic at North Allegheny, and uh Central Catholic won at 863 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 1: the very end when Dan completed a whole bunch of 864 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,360 Speaker 1: passes in a row to a guy named Joe Calarcia. 865 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,319 Speaker 1: He cut the touchdown pass anyway for Central and I 866 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 1: later went to Ducane with Joe and he. 867 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,319 Speaker 4: Played for the Iron Duke's football team. 868 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,879 Speaker 1: So yeah, my first game ever, I did indeed cover 869 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: Danny Marino. 870 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 4: You remember Nicky, He was a great running Yeah. 871 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 1: In fact, that showed who was the coach down Rick 872 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 1: rick Ertelai Richer. He would give the ball to Maciosi 873 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 1: more than he would have Marino throw it. 874 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 4: And that's the truth. 875 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,880 Speaker 1: That's how high school coaches operated. 876 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 3: Then. 877 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:52,839 Speaker 4: They preferred the run. 878 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 1: But nick was a real good running back, and like 879 00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 1: you said, went on to play at Clarion. 880 00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 4: Let's go to a talkback. 881 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 2: Hey, I'm just curious this current Penguins team, if healthy, 882 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:07,400 Speaker 2: can they win a playoff series? 883 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 3: If so, who could they be? 884 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 4: I don't know. 885 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,000 Speaker 1: I'm beginning to think they look like a playoff team 886 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,240 Speaker 1: like you just heard me talk about with Tyler Kennedy. 887 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,280 Speaker 1: I think they could be the Islanders in the playoff series. 888 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,520 Speaker 1: I think they could be the Washington in a playoff series. 889 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 1: But I have no idea who's going to make the 890 00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,319 Speaker 1: playoffs if the Penguins are too so. 891 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:31,400 Speaker 4: It becomes more and more I won't say probable. 892 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 1: I'm not even trud to say possible, but I'm working 893 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:37,919 Speaker 1: on it, so are they. 894 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,279 Speaker 4: Let's go to Buffalo Bill. Buffalo Bill. You're on as 895 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 4: Mark anything, Mark. 896 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:47,160 Speaker 5: Can you think of a more tragic situation in wrestling 897 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,840 Speaker 5: than the story of the Von Eick Hamily. 898 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 4: There are a bunch of very tragic situations. 899 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 1: A lot of people that were friends of mine, Die Young, Brian, 900 00:43:55,520 --> 00:44:00,319 Speaker 1: Brian Pillman, Eddie Guerrero, certainly the tragedy of Chris Wlaw 901 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 1: from top to bottom. Yeah, the Von Erics in terms 902 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,439 Speaker 1: of a movie which they made it into with Zach 903 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 1: Effrin in wrestling Tights, the whole movie that was awesome. 904 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, it was a good movie, and it's just 905 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 1: it's a depressing story. But I will say Kevin the 906 00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:18,239 Speaker 1: Loane's surviving Von Eric brother, I give Kevin a lot 907 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 1: of credit because he's done his best to make it 908 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,280 Speaker 1: uplifting whenever he's given the chance. 909 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:25,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. 910 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,600 Speaker 5: The story of Kevin really kind of is a fantastic 911 00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 5: ending to an otherwise just horrific story. I didn't want 912 00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,160 Speaker 5: to ask, have you ever met Carrie? 913 00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:33,919 Speaker 3: Yeah? 914 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 4: I met Carrie a number of times. 915 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,200 Speaker 1: When he was between like big time promotions, whether it 916 00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 1: was World Class and then WBF. He worked for a 917 00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 1: company in Philadelphia called the Tri State Wrestling Alliance, like 918 00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,239 Speaker 1: an indie thing, but it later morphed into ECW, but 919 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,320 Speaker 1: that was the beginning. The seeds were sewn for ECW 920 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,120 Speaker 1: with the Tri Storate Wrestling Alliance. And I met Carrie 921 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,840 Speaker 1: a number of times there, two or three, and he 922 00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,400 Speaker 1: was a good guy. H you know, he had his problems, 923 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,880 Speaker 1: and you know, he was the kind of guy. The 924 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:05,759 Speaker 1: first time I met him, he introduced himself to me. 925 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:09,360 Speaker 1: Three times. He kept forgetting that he introduced himself to me, 926 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,440 Speaker 1: and that wasn't well, that was obviously drug induced. 927 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 4: Let's be blunted. Let's go another talkback. 928 00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,200 Speaker 3: A Bella Danger or Alana Rhodes. 929 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,600 Speaker 1: I don't even know who Lona Rhodes is. I'm aged 930 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 1: out of the porn SEAMROV, but I have checked out 931 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:26,800 Speaker 1: A Bella Danger, so I'm going to give her the nod. 932 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:28,280 Speaker 4: Go to a talkback. 933 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,400 Speaker 6: Hey, market's John in the car. I was just curious 934 00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:36,840 Speaker 6: that with the dual goaltending situation in Pittsburgh, Skinner to me, 935 00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,440 Speaker 6: clearly is the favorite to be the starter. How long 936 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,520 Speaker 6: do you think they'll be doing this? Back and forth 937 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:46,240 Speaker 6: before they named Skinner the starter before the playoffs. 938 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,200 Speaker 1: Uh, they got to make the playoffs first, Brov, It's 939 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:51,319 Speaker 1: it's January. 940 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,680 Speaker 4: I think Skinner's the better goalie. I don't think it's 941 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:55,840 Speaker 4: as clear as you appear to. 942 00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:57,960 Speaker 1: I think shil Loss has played some decent games, but 943 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 1: he's horrible in the shootout and he's seems to let 944 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,920 Speaker 1: up a bad goal. Not every game, but most games. 945 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,080 Speaker 1: So how long is it going to be? I don't 946 00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 1: think Dan Muse will ever name a number one goalie. 947 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,319 Speaker 1: I think his actions will speak louder. And Skinner's making 948 00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,560 Speaker 1: a second straight start tonight, but I think that's just 949 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,359 Speaker 1: too like t K and I talked about, have him 950 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,000 Speaker 1: not started Edmonton and to try to turn that game 951 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,960 Speaker 1: as vanilla as possible as opposed to the guy who 952 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,799 Speaker 1: got Edmonton to the last two finals and lost. You know, 953 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,399 Speaker 1: you stick him in the net and suddenly I know 954 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,479 Speaker 1: it's a grudge match, But now it's just a vanilla game. 955 00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,799 Speaker 1: Although it's always going to be McDavid against sid let's 956 00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:35,840 Speaker 1: go to one more talkback. 957 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 12: Mark Ben Roethlisberger said on his podcast that NFL teams 958 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:44,759 Speaker 12: should build their teams first before drafting a quarterback. Do 959 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:48,080 Speaker 12: you think this is something the Steelers and other NFL 960 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,280 Speaker 12: teams should consider doing going forward. 961 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:52,200 Speaker 4: I don't think Ben's wrong. 962 00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 1: I think it might be the easiest thing to do 963 00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:56,680 Speaker 1: to build your team and then PLoP the quarterback in 964 00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:58,799 Speaker 1: when it's built. But I don't know how you can 965 00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,839 Speaker 1: perfectly time that and work on it and think it's 966 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,160 Speaker 1: going to succeed every time. Plus which what if you 967 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:08,160 Speaker 1: draft the wrong quarterback like the Steelers did. This is 968 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 1: the Mark Madden Show, Liverpool three at Marseille Hill. It 969 00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:14,960 Speaker 1: was like just driving through the Arden forest on a 970 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,200 Speaker 1: Wednesday afternoon, one oh five nine. 971 00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:17,560 Speaker 5: The X
