1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: They're basically ten or eleven teams in the Eastern Conference

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: going for eight playoff spots. Even Tampa isn't totally safe,

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo is, Caroline is, even Tampa isn't totally safe, and

4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: even Washington and Philadelphia ain't totally out of it. It's

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 1: a traffic jam, and the Penguins are not assured of

6
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 1: a thing. I feel like, all y'all assuming postseason and

7
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: then it's about home ice and matchups and can they

8
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: win around. I'm out at all convinced they're going to

9
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. I'd say right now it's fifty to fifty,

10
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: and don't get me wrong, that's better than I thought.

11
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 2: But you know, at seasons.

12
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: Beginning, but we're still looking at potential for the worst

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 1: case scenario, which is finishing just out of the playoffs,

14
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: no postseason, no draft pick.

15
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: Here's some pretty awesome news.

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: Neil Walker of this Parish is going to be an

17
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: analyst for NBC's opening day broadcast of the Pirates and Mets.

18
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: Scheme's gonna be starting. Kelly Announstead earlier today, Neil Walker

19
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: moving up in the world. Way to go walk out

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: of nowhere. It's very cool. I mean Walk's barely done TV.

21
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: I don't even think he's officially retired. Maybe he can

22
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: be an analyst on that game and say, you know,

23
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: I am looking for work.

24
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 2: I can still play.

25
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: In other baseball news, Connor Griffin has still not signed

26
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: a multi year deal with the Pirates. Those informed on

27
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: the situation say that one reason for that is that

28
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: the Pirates and Griffin are not discussing that. More on

29
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: this as it develops, But it's like a hostage crisis,

30
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: except they're never gonna let the hostage go.

31
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: And never gonna kill him.

32
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: We got John Parrada, America's most dangerous baseball writer. He'll

33
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: be joining me later in the program at four thirty,

34
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: precisely to talk about that March madness is going on

35
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: right now. Miami of Ohio won its first game. That

36
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: was in the first four. That was last night. Oh

37
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: we had a great time last night, by the way

38
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: at All Star Sports Bar and grill in.

39
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: Robinson Tonsent.

40
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: I got to tell you, even though the first four

41
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: was going on, the Penguins game.

42
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 3: Was the.

43
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: Apple of everybody's eyes with people wanted to watch. But

44
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: Miami did win its game in the first four by

45
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: ten over SMU eighty nine to seventy nine. So Miami

46
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: of Ohio was thirty two and one, which is coincidentally

47
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: Ben's Big Ben's record against the Cleveland Browns. Big Ben

48
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: being an alumnus of Miami, Miami now plays Tennessee.

49
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: Tennessee a number six seed.

50
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: Miami is in the tournament proper, and some people still

51
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: say they shouldn't at thirty two and one. I spoke

52
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: out of North Hills High School today to some of

53
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: their communication. I do that scholarship thing with for my

54
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: mom in memory of my late mother, who was a

55
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: teacher and the speech and debate coach at North Hills,

56
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: and some of the basketball kids showed up. Nate, the

57
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: Great Nate Schombacher, their top score was there, and you know,

58
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: I always wonder if kids agree with me, you know,

59
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,839
Speaker 1: because I'm old. But I brought up the Miami thing

60
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: and him and Mike Murphy was there. He plays for

61
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: the team too. If I'm leaving anybody's names out, I'm sorry,

62
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: but they said, yeah, they should be in. And then

63
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: I talked about bam Adebayo eighty three points.

64
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: Said, oh, yeah, that's a big deal.

65
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: You knows kids get it more than you think kids get.

66
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: It was kind of gratifying that they did a great

67
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: to be at North Hills. By the way I saw

68
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: coach k Coach Kasparovich. We're doing that scholarship thing again.

69
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: So can't wait for next year's.

70
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: Football opener na.

71
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: That was always the rivalry for years, North Hills in

72
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: North Alleghany, and they've been in different classification and they

73
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: haven't played in a bit, but that's gonna be the

74
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,119
Speaker 1: opening game, non conference, but North Hills in NAU.

75
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: I want discussion on the Penns game.

76
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: I want you to call now a three three four

77
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: one two WXDX. And again the Skinner stuff. I'm not

78
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: saying Skinner sucks. I'm just saying six goals is too many. Yeah,

79
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: a bunch of great saves. Six goals is too many. Yeah,

80
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: made a lot of saves, okay, but six goals is

81
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: too many. And all y'all got understand every point is crucial,

82
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: and you don't want to look back at any one

83
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: of a dozen or so moments like all those shootout

84
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: losses and too many goals allowed, and you overcame the

85
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: sin injury and overcame the Geno suspension. But this went

86
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: wrong on that night, and that went wrong on this night,

87
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: like six goals against the Carolina and that's why you

88
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: missed the playoffs. It could easily happen. You don't want

89
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: to look back on that. This race is unbelievable tight.

90
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: If the Penguins lose Saturday and Sunday, they could be

91
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: out of a playoff spot before the weekend's over and

92
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: the schedule's running out.

93
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: So I'm not hating.

94
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, And what I am saying is that

95
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: six goals is too many. Sid won two thirds of

96
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: his face offs first game back, twelve out of eighteen.

97
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: That certainly helps the referee, won't good. Carolina flopped like

98
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: crazy like Galatassawai when they played Liverpool yesterday. Taylor Hall,

99
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: former NHL MVP in the flukiest MVP season never because

100
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: he ain't that level, but he was flopping around all

101
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: over the place like a speared fish on the boat of.

102
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 2: A deck, deck of a boat.

103
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 4: Sorry.

104
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: You know what a topic to discuss is. And I

105
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of the tang critics out there.

106
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: I am not one of them. He's the best defenseman

107
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: of Penguins franchise history, and he's not playing well now.

108
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: Didn't play well last night. That's for damn skippy. But

109
00:05:58,800 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: what do you do?

110
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 2: You tell me what you do? I don't know what

111
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: you do? Uh.

112
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: All his metrics are rotten. He's not passing the eye test.

113
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: But there's no choice but to play Chris Latang and

114
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: the same number of minutes and hope he comes back

115
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 1: in plays good like he always does. But there's also

116
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: no denying that he he played poorly last night. But

117
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: but seriously, what are you gonna do. You're gonna make

118
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: Connor Clifton a top four. You're gonna bring Jack Ivany

119
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: Saint Ivany back and make him the bottom pair. Do

120
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: you really think that improves their chances of winning? It

121
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: does not. You got it a weigh out with Letang,

122
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: and I know he's gonna come good, but you might

123
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: think something different if you do. Doal a three to

124
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: three four one two w xdx. We gotta get more

125
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: low down on the chip tam fries at PNC. I'm

126
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: not at all excited about the Pirate season. Well, okay,

127
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: I am a little bit, But I want to know

128
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: is this is this Issley's barbecue sauce on the chip fries?

129
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: What kind of sauce is it just says sauce. Sucker's

130
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: gots to know the mixture of barbecue sauce and cheddar sauce.

131
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: And you know what else they say cheddar sauce. You

132
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: know what that means. Ain't a lot of cheese in

133
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: that cheddar when you say cheddar sauce.

134
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: I don't know.

135
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with a heavy hitter. Dog corn Dogs, Jackie

136
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: corn Dogs. For all these people, I've said that line

137
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: too much.

138
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 5: One o five nine fifth ex At one five nine.

139
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: What's your take on the Penguin six' five loss At

140
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: carolina last? NIGHT i think that kills any remote chance

141
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: they had to catch in The hurricanes at the top

142
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: of The Metro. Division then, again that was never my,

143
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: expectation even when the season started going a lot better

144
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: THAN i thought it. Might there's a lot of assumption

145
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: that they're gonna make the. PLAYOFFS i think it's fifty to,

146
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: fifty no. BETTER i think this weekend's games are, big

147
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: actually the next three, games because even though you're playing

148
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: Well winnipegs, maah but then after that you're Playing caroline And,

149
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: colorado who are both very good. Teams colorado ain't gonna

150
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: come and hear asleep at the wheel like they were

151
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: At denver when you beat him seven to two a

152
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: couple games.

153
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: AGO i don't.

154
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: KNOW i think they're doing great AND i like the

155
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: way the lines fall together again now that the stars are,

156
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: back but they're far from out of the woods in

157
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,160

Speaker 6: I just wanted to say THAT i respectfully disagreed THAT

195
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 6: i easily thought that after the first period it could

196
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 6: have been three or four, nothing and THAT i think The,

197
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 6: penguins instead of maybe in, future would have you, know

198
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,960

250
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: a game like last.

251
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: Night's what say?

252
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 8: YOU i don't disagree with, that AND i think that's

253
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 8: how the locker room felt. Too that was probably as

254
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 8: angry As i've seen The penguins after a loss all.

255
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 8: Season to be honest with, YOU i know some people, think,

256
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 8: guy you got a point In. Raleigh that's good for

257
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 8: the playoff. Hunting maybe it, is but they were pretty

258
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 8: upset with, themselves and it's kind of much of the.

259
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 8: Same they're doing so many great things and producing so

260
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 8: much energy and so much, offense.

261
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 4: But they're playing their own.

262
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 8: Zone was certainly not playoff, caliber and it has not

263
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 8: been in either game Against carolina in the last, week

264
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 8: and it just you, know they've scored thirty goals in

265
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 8: their last seven, games which is a great. Number they've

266
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 8: also given up thirty goals in their last seven, games

267
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 8: which is an absolutely terrible.

268
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: Number and that brings me To Stuart.

269
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: Skinner he made great saves and a lot of, saves

270
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: but he let in six goals and couldn't hold a

271
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: five to four lead.

272
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: Late how did he? Play?

273
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 8: REALLY i know you disagree with, Me, mark BUT i

274
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 8: thought he was pretty good even on the game time.

275
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 8: GOLD i mean it Hit watherspoon's. Leg it's a really unlucky. Gold,

276
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 8: yeah you can still stop. That BUT i can't say

277
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 8: he was great because he gave up six goals THAT

278
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 8: i thought they could have been down three to nothing

279
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 8: in the first period very easily if not for.

280
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 4: Him, yeah but he is the.

281
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: Fairest THING i can say because there's no doubting the

282
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: number of saves he made And White guy said some good.

283
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: Ones he didn't lose the, game he didn't win it, either.

284
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 8: And that's who he. Is and for better or, worse

285
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 8: he's an average AN hl. Goaltender he's not going to

286
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 8: steal you games and that's not, him and he's not

287
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 8: going to give up that many bad goals because that's

288
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 8: not him. Either and that's why IF i had to

289
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 8: guess who their goalie will be if indeed they do

290
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 8: make the. Playoffs in game, ONE i bet you had

291
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 8: She lovs because he has that higher. Ceiling he's the

292
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 8: kind of guy who can steal you a game based

293
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 8: on his athleticism and other. Attributes so, YEAH i did

294
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 8: not Think skinner played. It BUT i Thought skinner played pretty.

295
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 8: Well BUT i thought the real, culprit even though he wasn't,

296
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 8: great the real, culpriate which just the defensive, work especially

297
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 8: The penguins blue. LINE i, thought other Than carlson And,

298
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 8: watherspoon the second and third pairings were absolutely abysmal last.

299
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 8: Night AND i Think carolina is just a very problematic

300
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 8: matchup for The penguins.

301
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 4: Defenseman they do not handle their for check at.

302
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: All, well what do you do About Chris latang and

303
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: why is he playing so? POORLY i, agree except for

304
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: the pair Of Carson, watherspoon nobody played, good but you

305
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: Connin latang especially for.

306
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 8: Better he's a problem mark AND i respect him so

307
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 8: much for the career that he's, Had me.

308
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 2: Too and.

309
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 8: Everything he's everything he's overcome to still be in THE.

310
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 8: Nhl it's. Incredible he is an incredible. Story but we

311
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 8: cannot deny that his play is in pretty sharp. Decline

312
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 8: and WHEN i watched him play last night and last,

313
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 8: NIGHT i bointed he struggle and to, me last, night

314
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 8: you could see he doesn't have the wheels that he

315
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 8: once did to get himself out of. Trouble so as a,

316
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 8: result he just had to make good decisions with the,

317
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 8: puck and he just didn't do. It i've never seen

318
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 8: him freeze with the more and end up losing the

319
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 8: puck in a game that he did last. Night it

320
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 8: was hard to. Watch and his defense Partner Ryan shade

321
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 8: wasn't any better last. Night he had a really rough. Game,

322
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 8: also the problem is who else are you gonna put

323
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 8: there on the second pairing if you want to Reduce chris's.

324
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 8: Responsibilities there's no one. Up Connor cliffon's on a second pairing.

325
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 8: Defenseman you can't even Bring brunock up and he's not

326
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 8: ready yet. Anyway there's really you can Try Sam gerard

327
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 8: on his off, side but he didn't look that great

328
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 8: on his primary side in his first few. Games but

329
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 8: there's no one else to put, there and that's a real.

330
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 8: Problem and they're just no good bench.

331
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: Letang they're probably not even, gonna you, know less in

332
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: his minutes BECAUSE i, mean, actually one thing that's happened

333
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: before is if he plays a, ton he gets a bit,

334
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: tired and that makes him simplify his. Game the problem,

335
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: is as you, said he won't adjust to the limitations

336
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: that any guy gets twenty ages thirty eight years.

337
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: Old he's still trying to play like he's in his.

338
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 8: Prime AND i Don't i'm not trying to knock, him

339
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 8: but he might not know how to. Like it might

340
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 8: not even be that he's a lot of people just

341
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 8: think he's. STUBBORN i disagree he is.

342
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: Stubborn but you'll Remember carl's first year What tanger. Played

343
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: tang played really simple the first couple of months because

344
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: he wanted to see where he fit With carlson on the.

345
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: Team but then he went back to the way he had.

346
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 8: Played it's a fair, point and that's the best we've

347
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 8: seen him play in. Years he was so good the

348
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 8: first half of that. Season that is, True and IF

349
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 8: i were The, Penguins i'd be showing him video of

350
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 8: those games because the tag that we saw last night

351
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,959
Speaker 8: is going to kill them in a playoff series if

352
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 8: they get. There AND i DON'T i don't take any

353
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 8: glee in saying. THAT i have so much respect for

354
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 8: the career he's. Had he's a giant In penguin's. History

355
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 8: but he's always been a. Guy when he's off his,

356
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 8: game you, know the mistakes are not, small they're, massive

357
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 8: and he is so far off of his game right. Now,

358
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 8: ACTUALLY i thought he played better In colorado And. Utah

359
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 8: he wasn't bad those, games but more times than, not

360
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 8: in the last few, weeks especially since The olympic, break

361
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 8: he has not been the same. Player and he played

362
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 8: twenty five minutes last. Night that's probably too. Much if

363
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 8: he played two more minutes Than, carlson which is. Ridiculous

364
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 8: but they don't have anyone else to eat those. Minutes

365
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 8: mark like they have a bunch of okay third pairing

366
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 8: defenseman right. Now they don't have any answers on this

367
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 8: roster other Than carlson And watherspoon And. Shae those are The,

368
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,719
Speaker 8: Well tang's the only other guy that's gonna get those

369
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 8: kinds of. Minutes it's just the way it.

370
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: Is we're talking to Josh oi the athletic here on THE.

371
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: X Maybe carlson could play sixty. Minutes he really ought

372
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: to Get norris. VOTES i, mean he's not having the

373
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: same year as Quinn. Ewes he, shouldn't you, know win

374
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: the award or even finish top, three but he should get.

375
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 2: Votes, josh look at that game last.

376
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: Night that second, Goal my, god that Was carlson in

377
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: the wayback.

378
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 2: Machine.

379
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 8: YEAH i wrote my article last night that he's gonna

380
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 8: start getting his name out there in terms of consideration

381
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 8: for The. Norris he's not gonna win. It he might

382
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 8: be in the top five by the end of the

383
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 8: season the way he's. Going, MARK i don't remember the

384
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 8: last Time i've seen A penguin's defenseman play at this

385
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 8: levels for a sustained period of time covering the team seventeen,

386
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 8: YEARS i don't Think i've seen, it even With La

387
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 8: tang or GONSHAR. I, HONESTLY i would go back To

388
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 8: Paul coffee And Larry murphy the last time That i've

389
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 8: seen A penguins defenseman control a game like, this play

390
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 8: at this kind of. Level this is extraordinary stuff we're.

391
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 8: Watching there are only three players in the league since

392
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 8: The olympic break who have more points Than Eric, carlson

393
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 8: and it's all. Forwards It's, connor McDavid And nachius And.

394
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 8: Kucherau that's. It that's the kind of level he's playing.

395
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 8: At it his defensive work. Mark he's one of their

396
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 8: best penalty killers right, now he really.

397
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 4: Is he is doing.

398
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 8: EVERYTHING i can't believe the level he is playing, at

399
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 8: especially the last two.

400
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 4: Years he is carrying them right. Now he's. Unbelievable hobsid.

401
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 2: Play he got the, goal had a lot of.

402
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 1: Jump the most encouraging thing was his skating seemed one hundred.

403
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 2: Percent he wasn't favoring that. Knee.

404
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 8: NO i thought he looked a little out of sorts

405
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 8: in the first. Period you could tell he was just

406
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 8: kind of feeling things, out which is. Normal and not

407
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 8: only had he not played at a, month but you're

408
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 8: being thrown right into a game At. Carolina when The

409
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 8: hurricanes came out absolutely buzzing in the first, period that's

410
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 8: a tough place to you, know get your feet. Wet

411
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 8: BUT i thought after he scored the goal that gave

412
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 8: him a little injection of. Confidence and by the third

413
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 8: PERIOD i kind of thought he just looked like sid

414
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 8: and you, know his skating was. FINE i asked him

415
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 8: after the game how he felt and he said he

416
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 8: had his body came out.

417
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 4: Great he felt. Good that's the most important.

418
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 8: Thing so, YEAH i thought as the game went on

419
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 8: he got better AND i think that's a very encouraging.

420
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 8: Thing and we all knew he was going to score

421
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 8: when he got that look in front of the. Net

422
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 8: vintage said to go to the. Backhand he always goes

423
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 8: to the backhand when he's been out for a long

424
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 8: period of. Time that's his comfort zone and that's the

425
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 8: best backhand in the history of the.

426
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 4: Sports so of course he.

427
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: Scored my one critique of him is he did take

428
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: a lazy penalty that trip and led to a power

429
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: play goal For. Carolina and it was really just epidemic

430
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: that sort of thing last. Night it's like The penguins

431
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: got all their stars back and it gave them an

432
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: excuse to get.

433
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 2: Sloppy it.

434
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,239
Speaker 8: Did he would tell you that that was not a

435
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 8: penalty and That Garrett rank blew that, call just so you,

436
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 8: KNOW i, know you know.

437
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: WHAT i don't exactly.

438
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: DISAGREE i thought the refereeing was, bad AND i thought

439
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: The hurricanes were flopping like spearedfish on the deck of a.

440
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 2: Boat.

441
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 8: MARK i hope these teams play in the playoffs because

442
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 8: there are some legitimate. ANIMOSITY i haven't heard The penguins

443
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 8: that aggravated with a team in a long. Time they

444
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 8: all want to have a shot At Taylor. Hall they're

445
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 8: so angry at him right. Now and these are two

446
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 8: teams that suddenly do not like each other at. All but,

447
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 8: YEAH i said to take a couple of. Penalties you,

448
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 8: know we've seen that with The city.

449
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 2: And Just I'm i'm not burying him or.

450
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: Anybody it's just such a fine line if they're gonna

451
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: make it or. Not LIKE i said, EARLIER i don't

452
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: want them to have to look back on a bunch

453
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: of little moments that added up to not enough.

454
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 8: Points oh, No and trust, me they are very well

455
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 8: aware of. It they're looking at the, standings they know

456
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 8: what's going. On there's a, Chance, Mark it's not for,

457
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 8: sure but there's a legitimate chance that a team in

458
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 8: The Eastern conference is going to.

459
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 4: Get to one hundred points and not make the. PLAYOFFS i,

460
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 4: mean that's that's unheard.

461
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 8: Of that that's, like that's like AN nfl team going

462
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 8: twelve and five and not making the.

463
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 4: Playoffs that's never.

464
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 8: Happened in, fact it actually might because of all the

465
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 8: three point, games and there's just a lot of good

466
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 8: teams in The.

467
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 4: East there's not many bad. Ones so like.

468
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 8: Everyone thinks that win A peg easy game.

469
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 4: On, Saturday no it's.

470
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 8: Not And winnipeg's actually playing pretty well and they're not

471
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 8: out of. It The penguins cannot take the foot off

472
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 8: the accelerator right. Now they simply.

473
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: Can't penguins have a lot ten short handed, goals including

474
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: another one last, night and the power play's kind of

475
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: gone off the, boil hasn't.

476
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 8: It it's still, scoring but it hasn't looked. Good and

477
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 8: that that shorthanded, goal that whole power play was actually.

478
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 8: Embarrassing in, fact on the next power play they gave

479
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 8: up another. Breakaway And i'm not gonna pin it all

480
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 8: on one, person BUT i will say, this as great

481
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 8: As gino was In, colorado having to play up high

482
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 8: on the power play is always going to be.

483
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 4: Dangerous and that was his fault on that goal last.

484
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 8: Night AND i thought he looked a little lazy trying

485
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 8: to get back into the. Play and he has that

486
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 8: habit as great as he still is in many aspects

487
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 8: of the game when he's up, high that that's just

488
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 8: begging for, trouble And carolina really feasts on. That Rod

489
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 8: brindlemore himself was a very accomplished penalty killer who could

490
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 8: score goals short. Ended he really preaches that to that. Team,

491
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 8: man were they? Aggressive they were just baiting The. Penguins

492
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 8: they really, were and that's something The penguins have to

493
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 8: clean up in a. Hurry the power play has been

494
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 8: really good this, season but he. Can't not only did

495
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 8: they give up a shorthanded goal, mark you can't give

496
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 8: up that many looks in one.

497
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 4: Game that's just. UNACCEPTABLE i think.

498
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: You got to win both home games this. Weekend you're

499
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: finally at. Home you did okay on the road, trip

500
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: you did okay without the. Stars you can't let you accomplished.

501
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: Laps you can't let it drip. Away win a PEG's not.

502
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: Bad they Got Hella. Buck you got to finally Beat.

503
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: Carolina and my big, Fear.

504
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 2: Josh is.

505
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: That at some point in the next, week they fall

506
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: out of a playoff spot and never get back in.

507
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: IT i, think besides needing every, point that we're losing

508
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,479
Speaker 1: track of how few games are.

509
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 4: Left, well it's, POSSIBLE i will say.

510
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 8: This you know they got through the road trip what

511
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 8: two to one and, two WHICH i think everybody would

512
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 8: have signed up for six points out of, time no

513
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 8: question in the. Trip but it's not like the schedule's. Easy,

514
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 8: now you, Know winnipeg's not. Easy Carolina sunday obviously is

515
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 8: going to be a. War then you've Got colorado at,

516
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 8: home then you've got At ottawa where they never, win

517
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 8: and then you've got home To. Dallas this week's every

518
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 8: bit as difficult as in the last two. Weeks they

519
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 8: cannot let. UP i will say this THOUGH i hear

520
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 8: what you're, SAYING i, do but if you look At,

521
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 8: april in the last ten days of the, season The

522
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 8: penguin schedule really lightens. Up they get a bunch of

523
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 8: non playoff, teams and all the other teams that are

524
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 8: playing against all play each other a, ton so they

525
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 8: can lose a couple of games and it's not the

526
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 8: end of the. WORLD i think there's a real chance

527
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 8: statistically they'll probably gain ground on some teams In, april

528
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 8: just based on their. Schedule but anybody who thinks that's

529
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 8: some you, know safe shore bet that they're gonna make the,

530
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 8: PLAYOFFS i like their chances is not over. YET i,

531
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 8: mean look at the, standards and they got.

532
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: Some key head to head games. Too don't forget. Those

533
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: LIKE i, Mean ottawa has been coming on. Strong they

534
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: got to play then they got to Play. Detroit it's

535
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,239
Speaker 1: gonna get, Hairy, no of course it.

536
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 8: Is they have to play At they have back to

537
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 8: back at the end Of march At New york against The,

538
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 8: islanders then right back home To, detroit and then forty

539
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 8: eight hours later they go To. Tampa so the schedule

540
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 8: it does ease up a little bit at the end

541
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 8: of the, YEAR i, promise but not just. Yet and

542
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 8: BUT i will say this every single time that you, think,

543
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 8: gee maybe this team has lost its. Focus maybe they're

544
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 8: coming back to earth a little, bit LIKE i think

545
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 8: a lot of people felt that after The las In.

546
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 8: Vegas then they just snap out of it and they

547
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 8: go To utah and win and then they Kill colorado like.

548
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 8: That they have a resiliency about, them which makes me

549
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 8: feel like they're not going to, collapse especially with sid

550
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 8: back in the. LINEUP i still like their, chances but

551
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 8: that doesn't mean that it's a can of corn for.

552
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 4: Them it certainly.

553
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: ISN'T i want to get back to the goaltenant for one,

554
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: second you Think shiloffs would start the first playoff.

555
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 2: Game if it comes to.

556
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: That if they do, qualify Would music go with a

557
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: number one goalie or would he stick with the.

558
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: Rotation it's a great.

559
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 8: Question i've been told that no real decision has been

560
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 8: made on. THAT i don't think they're against the idea

561
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 8: of a. ROTATION i heard it was. Possible BUT i,

562
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 8: also just from PEOPLE i talk, WITH i think she

563
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 8: loves is a. FAVORITE i think they just feel like

564
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 8: the ceiling is so much higher with. Him And i'll

565
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 8: tell you another thing about him That Listen skinner obviously

566
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 8: has playoff, Experience he's gotten to the finals the last two,

567
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 8: years but she loves for a guy who's only twenty

568
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 8: four years.

569
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 4: Old he did win THE Ahl championship last.

570
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 8: Season the year before, that he did beat The Nashville

571
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 8: predators in a, series and he also has an unbelievable

572
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 8: international record of really standing on his head against for

573
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 8: superior teams like The penguins are very well aware of

574
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 8: that this is not a goaltender who shrinks in high pressure.

575
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 8: Moments and just when you add that all, UP i

576
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 8: just think they're leaning toward him a little bit.

577
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: Do. You you said you don't sense they'll. COLLAPSE i

578
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: don't sense that. EITHER i think if they if they

579
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: if they get beat out for the, playoffs it'd be

580
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: like a gradual. Decline what team that's chasing them or

581
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: teams worries you the.

582
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 8: MOST i cannot deny at this point what The Columbus

583
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 8: bluejackets are doing since they fired their coach THROUGH i

584
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 8: think eighteen two and four something like that like, that

585
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 8: that's not fluky when you've won that many. Games and

586
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 8: if you, WILL i, mean they beat the hell out

587
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 8: Of carolina the other.

588
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 4: Night they're blowing everybody. OUT i. GOT i Think columbus

589
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 4: is going to make the. PLAYOFFS i think they are completely.

590
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 8: Legitimate they've had all the high draft picks for so

591
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 8: many years AND i just think it's finally coming together for.

592
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 4: Them that's the.

593
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 8: Team If I'm penguins, Fans i'm keeping an eye on

594
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 8: in the standings on an almost nightly, basis AND i

595
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 8: would also even.

596
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 4: Though they're lost last, night The Ottawa.

597
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 8: Senators on paper are during GOOD i wouldn't count them out.

598
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 8: Either the good news for The, penguins, THOUGH i think

599
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,199
Speaker 8: there's a couple of teams In boston And.

600
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 4: DETROIT i don't know that those teams are that, good

601
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 4: and they.

602
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 8: Both have brutal schedules down the, stretch actually much worse

603
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 8: than The, penguins so it.

604
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 4: Ultimately could work. Out.

605
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 8: Mark it wouldn't shock me if The penguins get in

606
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 8: as one of the wild, cards as crazy as it

607
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 8: sounds that that's actually in play for four metro teams

608
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 8: to get in.

609
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,879
