1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: This is the Mark Madden Show.

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 2: If you'd like to go one on one with a

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 2: great one, do'll eight three three four one two WXDX.

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: You can follow me on Twitter as well at Mark

5
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: Madden X.

6
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 2: Like I said, Penguins seven to two to one, one

7
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 2: point off the top of the Eastern Conference. Thirty eight

8
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 2: goals for the most in the conference. That's a little surprising.

9
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 2: And it was a great crowd last night at PPG.

10
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: Not big.

11
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: There were some empty seats, believe me, but a great crowd,

12
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: very loud, very reactive, very responsive. I'm sure ticket prices

13
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: are down on the secondary market and that gets different

14
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 2: fans in the building or maybe fans who used to

15
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 2: go and we're passionate who can't afford it now. Maybe

16
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 2: they go now with the little help from stub Hup.

17
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 2: Sid's milestone got a big pop, seventeen hundred points. Sid

18
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: has made milestones boring, like too many of them. He

19
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: could get two thousand, two thousand points. Only one guy's

20
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 2: done that, ever, Gretzky, you know what Sin is probably

21
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: gonna get. I don't have the exact number in front

22
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: of me. He might get most points with one franchise.

23
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 2: He can't catch Gretzky and his twenty eight hundred and

24
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 2: whatever career points. But he can catch how many points

25
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: Gretzky had with the Oilers if he stays with the Penguins.

26
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 2: And I think more and more he's going to stay,

27
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: not just because they're off to a good start.

28
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: But I don't know. He just is so adverse to change.

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: I think if he had to say right now, he

30
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: still wants Sellary to be coaching in not muse, even

31
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: though mus is doing a great job and it looks

32
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: like and feels like and plays like a whole different team.

33
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: Sid with a goal and two helpers last night, Russ

34
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: with two goals and a helper, Malk with one on one,

35
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: and like I said, he's tied for the NHL leading

36
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: points and leads the NHL outright when it comes to helpers.

37
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: Penguins at Philadelphia tonight six pm. Come watch the game

38
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 2: with me at Archie's on the South Side. Carlson had

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 2: three apples and made some really bad defensive plays, one

40
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: of which wound up directly in the Penguins net. He

41
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: giveth and he taketh. Jari battled the puck, but he

42
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: battled period. I just don't trust the goaltending and won't

43
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: trust the goaltending. You know when I'll trust the goaltending

44
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: when they got the bond villain in net Teddy Kgb

45
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: Sergei Morishoff. That's when I'll trust the friggin' goaltending. Hallander

46
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: played his first game on Sid's line. One assist, he

47
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: kept up, he did okay. The big debate and I

48
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: hear internally too. Brunick had a rough game on defense

49
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: minus two and I'm not sure it's a Locke anymore,

50
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: that he's gonna stay with the team and not be

51
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: returned to junior is I think Kendall is close to

52
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: a Locke. I think brunic is probably fifty to fifty.

53
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: I think he can play his way to stay or

54
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: play his way back to Jerkwater, Alberta, or wherever the

55
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: freaking oh Kamloops. Yeah, that's I think that is Jerkwater, Alberta.

56
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think it's his to take or discard.

57
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 2: I'd keep him. I think the energy in the dressing

58
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: room and with the team on the ice, on the bench,

59
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: it's just so much better with the kids, and the

60
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 2: kids are group.

61
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: He's part of the group.

62
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,119
Speaker 2: You know Dupas shouldn't overlook that when he makes his decision,

63
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: and like I said, I would keep him. The World

64
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: Series game lasted forever eighteen innings, six hours and thirty

65
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: nine minutes. If you told me that I could go

66
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: back to my sexual prime, which I think was a

67
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: Wednesday in nineteen seventy nine, until I could go back

68
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: and be fully aroused indefinitely, which, come to think of

69
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: it didn't even happen on that Wednesday in nineteen seventy nine.

70
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: But let's say some miracle drug, blue cheo, whatever could

71
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 2: allow me to perform with any woman I wanted as

72
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: long as I wanted.

73
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what.

74
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: Woman i'd pick, especially now that I haven't even considered

75
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: the thought for how many years, being sixty four, but

76
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 2: I do know I wouldn't want to do it for

77
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: six hours and thirty nine minutes. I don't want to

78
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 2: do anything for six hours and thirty nine minutes. And

79
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: like I was talking about with Tommy Radio before, I

80
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: know people don't like that ghost runner. I think it's

81
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: a big plus for the regular season. In the World

82
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: Series the playoffs, I get not used it. I would

83
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: use it. After twelve innings. I would want to just

84
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: get the game over with for the sake of the teams.

85
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: The managers as well, save the pitching staffs a little

86
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: bit because they're all exhausted.

87
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: Now.

88
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: The Dodgers use ten pitchers, the Blue Jays used nine pitchers.

89
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: What's left for tonight?

90
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: But you're not gonna go to know Tawny pitch forever

91
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: if you're Dave Roberts, the Los Angeles manager. So it's

92
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: kind of got, you know, both managers in a pickle

93
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: with exhausted pitching staffs. And maybe that's part of the

94
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: romance of the game, or maybe there's just no thing

95
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: in the world, no matter how entertaining or dramatic it

96
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: may be, that should go on for six hours in

97
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 2: thirty nine minutes. People talk about it being an all

98
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 2: time classic, but I wonder how many people were watching

99
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: at the end. I, like I said, I fell asleep

100
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 2: white turned the TV off because I was exhausted right

101
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: after Kershaw pitched that third of an inning.

102
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: And don't forget you can.

103
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: Say it's dramatic, like the game was on a knight's

104
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 2: edge all through extras.

105
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: Nobody scored a run for ten innings. Ten innings.

106
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: Yikes, I don't rather watch MLS is part of the

107
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: sports equedox.

108
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: No, that's not true. I went to the Penguin game.

109
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: That was fun. It's what I do.

110
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 2: It's amazing that Otani was on base nine times, nine times,

111
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: ten straight times dating back to the prior game. Two

112
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: home runs last night, and he pitches tonight. I have

113
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 2: been a little bit resistant to the Otawni hype. I

114
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: gotta admit, like after last night, I am buying in

115
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 2: more and more. I am seriously impressed by the guy

116
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 2: more and more. I'm gonna keep talking about how TJ.

117
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 2: Watt is killing the Steelers and stealing money. And you

118
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 2: hear the usual excuses all the time now with him

119
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: just being seven shades of mediocre.

120
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: This season, not even in most games.

121
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 2: But you hear he's being double team triple team chipped,

122
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: there's loose coverage in the quarterback gets rid of the

123
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 2: ball too quick.

124
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: Oh that's true, It's all true.

125
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: But all that stuff has happened to Watt his entire career,

126
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 2: and he used to be good enough to deal with

127
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: it and beat it and excel, and now he can't

128
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: why because he's killing the Steelers and he's stealing money.

129
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: Get your calls in now.

130
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 2: It's we don't take calls hardly at all, and that's

131
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,119
Speaker 2: because I don't like you people and have very little

132
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: respect for your opinions. But this next segment, I could

133
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 2: take a call or two if you want. Dow eight

134
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: three three four one two WXDX And we got Pierre

135
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: McGuire at the bottom of the hour one nine X. Well, no,

136
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: I just said, I don't know what I said. I

137
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: don't know what you said.

138
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 3: Yeah the X.

139
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: If you heard the Tom With press conference today, you

140
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: know it was just more the usual.

141
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: He's totally full of crap.

142
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 2: Talk about how the offense settled for field goals and

143
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2: didn't score touchdowns.

144
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, who makes that decision? Coach? Who decides whether or

145
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: not to lay up?

146
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 2: There were a couple of fourth downs you could have

147
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: and should have gone for it on And he talked

148
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: about the defense failed because green Bay converted a couple

149
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: of key third downs. You know, coach, green Bay killed

150
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: your crappy defense on every down, not just a couple

151
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: third downs. The numbers don't lie, and they spelled disaster

152
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: for your at akershure, and I think that's gonna be

153
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: the case again this Sunday with Indie visits.

154
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: Now, how can you fix it up? Like?

155
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: Like I said earlier, I would bench slay period it

156
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: never get on the field. I might not even give

157
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: him a helmets. It looks like he's running in quicksand

158
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: slow slow, I mean, my god, he's making ten million

159
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 2: bucks too. I would go with Ramsey at safety with

160
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: Elliott out. In fact, I might keep him there when

161
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 2: Elliott comes back. Elliott's gonna be out at least this

162
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 2: week and probably longer. But Ramsey's a veteran, would have

163
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: just that steading influence. It'll make the trade of Minka,

164
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 2: who's legit safety, for Ramsey to replace him with that position.

165
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: It makes the trade absurd.

166
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 2: But it ain't so good of a trade right now,

167
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 2: even given how the Steelers are struggling in their defensive backfield.

168
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 2: But I'd have Ramsey at safety with one of the

169
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 2: job guys, I guess Thornhill or Clark, and then my

170
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: corners including slot would be Eccles, Porter and Pierre. Pierre

171
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: had a sleigh and I don't lose a second sleep

172
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: opining that. Uh. Here's Mike FLOURIEO of NBC ripping the

173
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: Steelers fan base that's you.

174
00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what's up with this fan.

175
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 4: Base, Like this is a far different fan base than

176
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 4: what I'm used to. I don't know if they've just

177
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 4: been kind of worn down by years of crap from

178
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 4: the Pirates right, and.

179
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: The Penguins have receded to being nothing.

180
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 4: Are they just content that the Steelers have an above

181
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 4: five hundred record. I just sense I sense complacency from

182
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 4: the fan base, So I want to do first.

183
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: Off, that's unfair criticism of the Penguins, because, as I

184
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: said earlier, I guarantee, absolutely guarantee the Penguins will be

185
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: legit contenders for a championship again before the Steelers are.

186
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 2: I one hundred percent guarantee that. But the Steeler fan

187
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: base does what's the word I'm looking for? Oh yeah,

188
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 2: it sucks, As evidence by Packers fans taking over Akrasher

189
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 2: on Sunday night. It's not just that Steelers fans betrayed

190
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: the team and the town and sacrificed home field advantage

191
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 2: by selling their seats on the secondary market. It's all

192
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: so that the cloud at Acrashure is old and bitter

193
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 2: and spoiled and sucks and goes quiet at bad moments,

194
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: turns on the team at worst moments and should give

195
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: their tickets to younger people and then go take a nap.

196
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: Let's go to Steve Steve Roderbark Madden Show.

197
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 5: Hey, good day, sir, I said, good day, Hey Mark.

198
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 5: First of all, I agree one hundred percent with you

199
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 5: and what you stated about the Penguins just now. And

200
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 5: second of all, until they get rid of Tomlin. You know,

201
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 5: nothing's gonna change in Pittsburgh. But I just wanted your

202
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 5: opinion on the about that Scaling signing.

203
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: Well, they haven't signed him yet.

204
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 2: If they did it, it's like in the last like

205
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: ninety seconds he worked out. Yesterday, we heard they were

206
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 2: going to sign him. Now I hear they might wait

207
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 2: till next week to sign him. Have you heard different?

208
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 5: I just thought I saw some stuff on social media

209
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 5: said that, like even on uh do Want? I googled

210
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 5: his name. He said he was a member of the

211
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh Steelers.

212
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but said they're not new Lex said they're not

213
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 2: expected to sign a receiver this week. He who cares?

214
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 2: The guy sucks. He's been cut so many times and

215
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 2: to wonder he ain't bled to death. The Steelers will

216
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: be his fourth team inside of a year. So f him,

217
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 2: let's go to Corey. Corey, you're on with Mark?

218
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: Hey, good day Double, I said, good day.

219
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 3: Hey, Mark. You know like I don't understand all the

220
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 3: criticism on Tomlin because I mean, if you give him

221
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 3: old washed up players that just can't play anymore, what's

222
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 3: he supposed to do with them?

223
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 2: Okay, who do you think wanted to get those old

224
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 2: washed up players?

225
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 3: I think that the Steelers fan base had a strong

226
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 3: Who do.

227
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 2: You think Okay, the Steelers fan base. Yeah, they're the

228
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: general managers of the team. They picked the roster. Tomlin

229
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: has finals saying everything Tomlin sucks. You're a more on

230
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: anything else.

231
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 3: I just disagree. You're more on.

232
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 2: Goodbye, never call here again. You're that stupid. Why don't

233
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 2: you go take a nap. Tomlin's just full of crap,

234
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: full of crap. But I love the betparks on like

00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: Joining us not live from Belfast, Ireland. It's the best

257
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 2: hockey talk anywhere with the great Peer Maguire Pierre. Why

258
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 2: on earth are you in Belfast, Ireland.

259
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 3: I'm speaking at an event for the Double Chef and

260
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 3: it's about growing the hockey business on the women's side,

261
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 3: and also on the men's site, especially at the professional

262
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 3: level for the men. So I'm actually here with George

263
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 3: mctee from the Vegas School of the Knights, and we're

264
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 3: presenting tomorrow, So excited about that tomorrow, and then again

265
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 3: on Thursday, and heading home on Friday. I got here

266
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 3: early this morning, but really excited to be here. Love

267
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 3: help and grow the game. And as I told Tommy,

268
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 3: are awesome producer. I couldn't wait to get on old

269
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 3: of you.

270
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: Well, I can't wait to talk about the Penguins because

271
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: they never thought never stopping. They could be a bit sloppy,

272
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 2: and they were last night, but they play sixty minutes

273
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: every game, don't they.

274
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 3: It's a totally different mindset. I don't know if you

275
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 3: agree with me, Mark or not. And this I do

276
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 3: knock on Mike Sullivan or anybody else that was there

277
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 3: for all this time before because they had so much success.

278
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 3: I think sometimes the message just gets old and they

279
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 3: needed a different messenger. Look at the way of Genny

280
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 3: Malcolm is playing, look at the enthusiasm and Brian Russ.

281
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 3: Look at the consistency of Sidney Crosby. Eric Carlson was

282
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 3: supposed to be a washout. Mark, He's not a washout anymore.

283
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 3: You know, you can look at all these different players

284
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 3: that are playing there, Anthony Manta, I can tell you

285
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 3: right now, most of the pro personnel people I spoke

286
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 3: to you this summer, they're like, oh my gosh, what's

287
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh doing? He' says, perfect with Brazo and Malcolm, it's

288
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 3: a tremendous line. So you can go down the line

289
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 3: with all these different things. I think the coaching staff,

290
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 3: led by Dan Hughes, deserves a lot of credit. I

291
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 3: think Kyle Dubis and his management team deserves some credit

292
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 3: for their vision. And more than anything else, is a

293
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 3: team that's having fun right now and that's fun to watch.

294
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: Well.

295
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: The old guys are leading statistically, certainly siding Gino.

296
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: Can they keep it up?

297
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: And are they being more dominant Pierre or just opportunistic

298
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: based on their guile?

299
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 3: I think I think if Genny Malkin's getting back to

300
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 3: being dominant, I think you would agree. His feet are

301
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 3: moving a lot better, his pace to his game is better,

302
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 3: He's forcing more turnover.

303
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: He's much faster through the neutral zone.

304
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's on his toes, not on his heels. He's

305
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 3: making things happen. He's driving a line. You know, manthis fast,

306
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 3: but he's not super fast. Breso is not fast en

307
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 3: even close to fast. So Geno's driving that line and

308
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 3: it makes a different since consistency level is crazy. It's

309
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 3: crazy at his age and all the hockey he's played.

310
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 3: But again, I think the guys are having fun going

311
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 3: to the rink. I think they love the new message.

312
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 3: Will it last forever, I don't know, But here the

313
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 3: Reichel injury, we're gonna see. That's gonna be an interesting

314
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 3: one to watch how they respond to what happened to Ricardraquel.

315
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 3: But you know, I love the way this team is competing.

316
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 3: And you know what, Mark, Usually you can't tay preseason

317
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 3: equates to regular season, but with this team so far,

318
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 3: their preseason is carrying over to the regular season.

319
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 2: What's your take on Philip Hallander playing on Sid's line

320
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 2: in Raquel's absence.

321
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a very skilled player. He's a guy that's

322
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 3: obviously got some good size and some reach. It's a

323
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 3: great opportunity obviously for him. I don't know how long

324
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 3: that lasts, but I mean it's an awesome opportunity. And

325
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 3: it's kind of what they have to do right now.

326
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 3: That's kind of where they are as a group, and

327
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 3: good for him. Take advantage of your opportunity.

328
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: What will Kyle do?

329
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 2: Butus decide with the two junior kids, Brunick can kindle

330
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 2: because Brunick has struggled mightily lately.

331
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 3: Usually that's what happens after the emotional thrust of going

332
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 3: through camp and being told you're going to stay for

333
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 3: a while. Once that kind of goes away, then you

334
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 3: start to find out where you are. And I think

335
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 3: they're finding that out with both players, even though Ben

336
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 3: Kimdall's been all world, especially offensively, and he's way better

337
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 3: defensively than what I think even the Penguins body would be.

338
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 3: I would say that at some point they're both gonna

339
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 3: play for Team cannat the World Junior And I know

340
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 3: people in Pittsburgh don't want to hear that, but the

341
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 3: pression has been set before other teams have done it,

342
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 3: and so I could see both those guys in December

343
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 3: going to play World Junior for Canada and then they

344
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 3: either come back to Pittsburgh, or they go back to

345
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 3: their junior team, or one goes back to his junior

346
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 3: team and the other one stays in Pittsburgh. Who knows.

347
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they got to make that decision sooner. Pier

348
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 2: with the nine game limit, like, I don't know what

349
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 2: I'd do. I really don't because I would probably keep

350
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 2: Kindle and send Brunick back. Then again, I keep wavering.

351
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 2: My point is I don't want to underestimate or dissipate

352
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 2: the energy that kids in the room has brought.

353
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: I don't want that to go down. But you still

354
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: got to do it's best for the kids.

355
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 3: Here's the one thing. I had Chris Pronger as a

356
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 3: nineteen year old, and he was all world. And one

357
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 3: of the things I had is I had Brad mccriman,

358
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 3: who was like in the extension of our coaching staff,

359
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 3: and I had him room with Chris, and I had

360
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 3: him partner with Chris, and I really helped Chris a

361
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 3: lot of you talked to Pronger, he tell you the

362
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 3: same thing. I'm not saying Pittsburgh doesn't have anybody like that,

363
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 3: but Brad mccrin was. It's a different guy, as you know,

364
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 3: he just he was a leader extension of the staff.

365
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 3: He's just a different guy. He's very, very mature guy.

366
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 3: It's hard for the guys to do this. I would

367
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 3: use the model Mark and I've talked about this with

368
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 3: our good friend Paul Steigerwald. I'd use the model of

369
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 3: Leo Carlson and Anaheim when it comes to Ben Kimball

370
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 3: and what they did with load management with him was awesome.

371
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 3: They negotiated it between the agent Matt Cater, the general

372
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 3: manager Pat Verbek, and at the time the coach Greg Crohnan.

373
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 3: So they came up with a plan between the three

374
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 3: of them and it really worked well for Leo Carlson.

375
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 3: And you can see that carrying over to where Carlson

376
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 3: and his career right now his third year in the league.

377
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 3: I think they can do the same thing with Ben

378
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 3: Kimmell and Pittsburgh. I really, especially when you have a

379
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 3: guy like Sidney Crosby around.

380
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: We're talking to Pierre Maguire here on one oh five nine.

381
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 2: The X brought to us by always say flagging and

382
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 2: traffic control.

383
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 5: Uh.

384
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: You mentioned Anthony Mantham before.

385
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 2: He's got five goals in ten games, first round picking

386
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 2: twenty thirteen, Big body.

387
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: Is he getting a second win? Can he keep this up?

388
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: What's your take? I mean ordinarily I'd say probably not.

389
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 2: But if the two big guys with Malkin Manthon's looked

390
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 2: like the more comfortable fit.

391
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 3: On that wing, one hundred percent accurate. The only way

392
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 3: it falls apart for him is if Tino goes down,

393
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 3: then I think it becomes a problem. But right now

394
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 3: he's responding talking about Anthony, He's responding to the opportunity.

395
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 3: He's responding really well. But you know, everybody knew going

396
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 3: in for Pittsburgh this is going to be a tough

397
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 3: year in terms of, you know, consistency, but so far

398
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 3: out of the gate. Now it's not a lot of

399
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 3: sample size, but so far, and again I can't stress

400
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 3: enough they must have run one heck of a training camp,

401
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 3: because this team came out of the gates at camp.

402
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 3: They were really good in the preseason and they've been

403
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 3: really good in the regular season.

404
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 2: Peo, do you trust the goaltending and that straight rotation

405
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 2: with Jari and shilloffs, They've not been terrible. I'm not

406
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 2: sure they've excelled either. Outside of the great game Jari

407
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 2: played to steal the win in Florida.

408
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 3: Well, I was gonna say Jarry's winning Florida was pretty good.

409
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 3: And I make Sea Lofts in New York on opening

410
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: night made some pretty good says to keep them minute.

411
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 3: But no, this is going to be a work in

412
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 3: progress for both goalies. You know, see Lofts. I think

413
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 3: has a chance to really get good. Last year, I

414
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 3: thought Toronto stole the free agency market by getting Anthony

415
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:47,479
Speaker 3: Stolars out of Miami, Florida. And it looked like they

416
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 3: did really when you think about it, especially at the

417
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 3: price point. I compared Seeloss to the Stollars the other

418
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 3: day in Toronto Radio Mark he could be that steal,

419
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 3: just like Stolar was a year ago. And if that's

420
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 3: the case, he's gonna make out really well.

421
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: Penguins and Philly tonight, where are the Flyers at?

422
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 2: They look kind of same, the same, even with talk

423
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 2: and taking over as coaching boy mid Scoff really needs

424
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 2: to get going, Dony, he does, and you know what.

425
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 3: Rick has done. It's I find this interesting. Trevor Zegris

426
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 3: who needed to get going and did on Saturday against

427
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 3: the Islanders and niche Goff. They're playing with one of

428
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 3: Rick's favorite players from Arizona, Christian Devorak. So I can

429
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 3: see the message sending right now to those two kids,

430
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 3: you're not playing with Caterier, you're not playing with Kate's.

431
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 3: You're playing with Devorak, who's a checker. You guys need

432
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 3: to play better without the puck. You need to get

433
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 3: going if you want to play elevated minutes. This is

434
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 3: what you have to do. So you can almost see

435
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 3: the handwriting on the wall for both those kids. Philadelphia

436
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 3: is working hard. I'll say that about their team. Owen

437
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 3: Tippett is probably the best pure player.

438
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 1: Yep.

439
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 3: I know a lot of people say, well, what about

440
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 3: Travis Connecting. I think tipp has actually been better. The

441
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 3: biggest question I have about them is their goal. I

442
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 3: think Erson was very good against the Islanders. Bladar's been

443
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 3: good when he's played, but I just don't know if

444
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 3: that holds up. And I really wonder about their defense, Mark,

445
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 3: I really do. But upfront, they're pretty good up front.

446
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,479
Speaker 3: They're not terrible, they're pretty good upfront.

447
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: You mentioned Zeegres.

448
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 2: I want to stick with him for one second because

449
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 2: I really.

450
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: Liked his game in Anaheim.

451
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 2: But here's the weird thing about him, uh Pierre, I

452
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 2: wish he would think that scoring was more important, Like

453
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: I'm not sure his production's ever going to catch up

454
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 2: to his ability because I don't think he makes his

455
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: own shot enough, don't. I don't think he does the

456
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 2: little things that make a good player a good scorer.

457
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 3: I've been watching him play since he's been eleven years

458
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 3: old for the mid Fairfield Rangers and Darien, Connecticut. He

459
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 3: played with Spencer Knight on the same team. I watched

460
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 3: him play at the US national team development program. I

461
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 3: watched him play at Potston University. I watched him playing

462
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 3: two World juniors. Everything you just said is spot on,

463
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 3: absolutely correct. And so here's the mark, and I'm telling you,

464
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 3: I think one of the greatestest services that ever happened

465
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 3: to a young player, and I mean this sincerely, was

466
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 3: when he was in Anaheim and he scored that, you know,

467
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 3: the highlight goal, the Michigan goal, whatever they want to

468
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 3: call that thing, and they started broadcasting all that The

469
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 3: game wasn't hockey anymore for him. It was a video game, yep.

470
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 3: And he's played like that. He's played like it's a

471
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 3: video game. I know the talent. He's got so much

472
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 3: talent it's scary, it's oozing out of him. He's got

473
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 3: to get back to being a hockey player and stop

474
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 3: being a gamer.

475
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: Today's the frozen frenzy, Pierre.

476
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 2: Every NHL team plays, the times are staggered, so it's

477
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 2: gonna be all over TV.

478
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: I love it, you know what.

479
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 2: I wish there was a red zone type thing to

480
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 2: watch the highlights and goals. I'd watch that for like

481
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 2: fourteen hours.

482
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 3: So we're on the same page there. The one thing

483
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 3: I wish. I wish they'd do it on a weekend.

484
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they're gonna be here. I think they're

485
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: gonna I.

486
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 3: Hope, I hope they do, and I hope they implement

487
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 3: what you just said because it would be fantastic for

488
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 3: the sport. It really would be fantastic for the sport.

489
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 3: One of the best things going to happen for the

490
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 3: game though. This year, you are going to see a

491
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 3: true best on Best Olympics, something we haven't had since

492
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 3: twenty fourteen. That's gonna be awesome for the fans. It's

493
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 3: going to be tremendous. I did seven of them, and

494
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 3: I'm telling you it never gets old. It really is

495
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 3: an amazing thing to see best on best at the Olympics.

496
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: Pierre.

497
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 2: You know you watch even more hockey than I do,

498
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: and I watch a ton who's in more trouble Tampa

499
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 2: Bay or the New York Rangers. Not only are they

500
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 2: started back in the standings. You look at them, boy,

501
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,479
Speaker 2: they just they don't look the part, either of them.

502
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,719
Speaker 3: No, No, New York Rangers are in big trouble compared

503
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 3: to Tampa. Tampa's general manager is playing with house money.

504
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 3: And he's a tough guy, and he's not afraid to

505
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 3: make changes, and he will and he will and it

506
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 3: won't be the coach, It'll be players. He knows he

507
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 3: needs some help on defense. He knows that, and I

508
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 3: believe he'll go out and get it in New York.

509
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 3: I told you this a while ago, and I'm gonna

510
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 3: stay with it. Mark. And I'm not picking on the Rangers,

511
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 3: because there are a lot of guys that are that

512
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 3: I like. But they pointed at the wrong things. They

513
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 3: thought they had a fouled up locker room. That's why

514
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 3: they treated Jacob Truba. They kind of leaked a lot

515
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 3: of stuff about Chris Cryor looking at him out in

516
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 3: Anaheim right now. You know. They didn't like the way

517
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 3: KeAndre Miller was evolving. They traded him for Scott Moore.

518
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 3: Who's a really nice kid. But quite frankly, Scott Morrow

519
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 3: is not a top four NHL defenseman like Caandre Miller

520
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 3: has been. So they made a lot of internal mistakes,

521
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 3: and I know I shared this with you. They did

522
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,239
Speaker 3: not do enough shopping this summer. They seen where their

523
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 3: team was last year and they didn't shop properly, and

524
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 3: that's why they are where they are. This is not

525
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 3: a reflection on Mike Sullivan at all. This is a

526
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 3: reflection on Chris Drury, the general manager.

527
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: Finally, Pierre sid reached seventeen hundred points last night. Can

528
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: he get to two thousand? What's your hunch and what

529
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: has to happen.

530
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 3: As all as he stays healthy, and you know, they

531
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 3: have to make sure that it's not a complete overhaul

532
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 3: and rebuild, which I think they're kind of aggressive on

533
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 3: in a positive way. I look at what's going on

534
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 3: in Wilkesbury's Grant and Mark, and I'm just blown away

535
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 3: by how good that team is coming out of the gate.

536
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 3: And I know you've been a big proponent of Mershov yep,

537
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 3: and he's been lights out great. He's been lights out great.

538
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 3: So there's so much positive going on in the organization.

539
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 3: Long story, Shirt, I do think Sid can get to

540
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 3: two thousand. I truly believe that, just because of the

541
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 3: young players that are starting to filter through the organization.

542
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 3: Five years ago, I couldn't have said that to you.

543
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 3: Now I can.

544
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: Here's my only disclaimer. He won't hang on to get

545
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: to two thousand.

546
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 2: I think Sid will quit the moment he feels he's

547
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 2: not a legitimate top six center, and it won't have

548
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 2: nothing to do with stats.

549
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 3: Well, that's fair. I think that's really fair. I do

550
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 3: my whole thing with Sid, though, is I just his

551
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 3: willingness to want to keep winning. And if they keep

552
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 3: winning and he's part of it, I have a hard

553
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 3: time believe he's just gonna get away from the game.

554
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 3: He's a lot like Yarmoer, you know, Mark, a lot

555
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 3: like Yarmer. They're addicted to the game. They don't know

556
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 3: what to do if they're not at the rink. It's

557
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 3: it's a heavy addiction. I have the same one. By

558
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 3: the way, it's hard to get rid of.

559
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 2: Pierre has always great stuff. Enjoy Belfast, good stuff going

560
