1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,519
Speaker 1: As Tom and I were talking about, maybe Joey Porter

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Junior covers Nico Collins, the number one wide out, who

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: is very good, and takes him out of the game.

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: Here's hoping because he can do it. Joey Porter Junior

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: has become a star. But in terms of how they

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: win this game, I don't know. I bet it's a

7
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: rock fight between two defensive minded coaches who don't mind.

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: A rock fight, and maybe the Steelers win. That seems like.

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: A decent bet that the Steelers have a good chance

10
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: to win this game for a mad team, which is

11
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: what they are. The worst bet is that Houston's edge

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: rushers kill Aaron Rodgers cill kill my landlord. I saw

13
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: somebody say that that Houston isn't ready and that CJ.

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: Stradi's too young, But the Texans won playoff games and

15
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: each of the last two years with CJ. Strod at quarterback.

16
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: Houston's defensive line it ain't good. Maybe the Steelers kill CJ. Stroud,

17
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: Maybe TJ. Watt no sacks. Got that deflected pick, but

18
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: no sacks against Baltimore. Yo, you're making forty one million

19
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: Jim teachers, step up, walk the aisle, do something. The

20
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: Steelers Z line is good, but that Houston defense is better.

21
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: Number one defense in the league, well, number one for yards,

22
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: number two for scoring. So I think the games would

23
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: toss up, honestly, wouldn't surprise, may be either team one.

24
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: So let's have fun. Let's hope the kickers keep missing.

25
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 2: That was exciting.

26
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: People seem to think this holy water thing was funny, Father,

27
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: Maximilian or whoever do it again? Father, The power of

28
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: Christ compels you.

29
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: The power of Christ compels you.

30
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: I'm holding up across and Tom seems scared across the

31
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: console here. Penguins don't play till Thursday. Like I said,

32
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: we got Eric Carlston on the show tomorrow. That's gonna

33
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: be interesting. He's this crazy spaghetti with ketchup on it

34
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: for a pregame meal and Sweden in the Olympics, and

35
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: carl is having his best season as a Penguin. Don't

36
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: know why. Maybe it's to get pumped up for Sweden.

37
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: But he's doing good. Hat like two weeks where he sucked,

38
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: but the last games during this winning streak, he's gotten

39
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: back to business, played really well, very economical set up

40
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: Crosby in overtime, and the fact that they've gone on

41
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: a winning streak. I mean, how a hockey team does

42
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: often reflects how their best players do, and I think

43
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: Eric Carlson and how he's played recently is reflected in

44
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: that five game winning streak. By the way, Crosby got

45
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: the second Star of the Week in the NHL. I

46
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: don't know who got first, but he's not as good

47
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: as Crosby. Cam Hayward said something kind of dumb after

48
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: he played so well against the Baltimorens. He said, the

49
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: Steelers are quote unquote playing with house money now unquote.

50
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 1: Well again, that's him trying to get us to buy

51
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 1: into them having won a fake playoff game. But that's

52
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: the general attitude around here with a lot of people.

53
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: Hey Entire radio stations in this time spew populous nonsense.

54
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: Why can't Cam Heyward? But a lot of people just

55
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: think the year is a success now for the Steelers

56
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: because a rookie kicker missed a field goal for the

57
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: other team in a regular season game.

58
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 2: And boy, that poor guy. I gotta give that guy.

59
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: Maybe Father Max or whatever the freak his name is,

60
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: maybe he can give that that Loop kid, the kicker

61
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: for Baltimore, the rookie some absolution because he absorbed wait

62
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: hold on Coverhill page Absolution Blues, great song. That loop

63
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: guy's absorbed a ton of really vicious abuse on social media.

64
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: That kid's classy faced the media at length after he

65
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: missed a kick. But Baltimore can't bring him back. He

66
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: can't kick for Baltimore again. That miss won't ever be forgotten.

67
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: You know, people talk about how the church and religion

68
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: do good for people.

69
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: I disagree. Here's the proof.

70
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: That holy Water made a young guy Wollkie kick her

71
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: miss and now his life is ruined. Where is your

72
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: God now, Priest, that's organized religion for you. I'm surprised,

73
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: Father Maximilian and passed the collection plate because that's all

74
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: religions about.

75
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: M O N E Y.

76
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: By the way, that Benstonium guy, who's been kind of quiet,

77
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: like for a couple of years now, he used to

78
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: post a lot of really funny stuff videos and whatnot.

79
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: I haven't noticed lately, but he posted on Twitter a

80
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: bottle of Steelers holy Water with a logo, and I said, boy,

81
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: the runies won't be happy about that. Religious as they

82
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: protect I mean are and I didn't notice it was Benstonium,

83
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: and he got me. He got me.

84
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 2: I thought it was real.

85
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: Anyway, the number to call is eight three three four

86
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: one two WXDX for calls on the fifteens, which has

87
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: proven to be a very popular segment, albeit not yet sponsored.

88
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: But that speaks more about somebody else's failure. Uh, not mine. Boy,

89
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: Now I sound like who do I sound like? Sloughing?

90
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: Blame off? My show stinks? Nobody listens don't buy advertising.

91
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 2: Uh here's a Penguin note.

92
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: Because as listeners to this program note, Well, I'm a

93
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: Penguin fan. Uh, tried and true, born and bred since

94
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: I was six years old. But I don't like how

95
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: this has become a veterany team lately, like the fourth

96
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: line and what they contributed, how much they play, it's

97
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: become a big deal. Not that those guys with the

98
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: chari centering are performing very well. And by the way,

99
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: the reason that fourth line's good is because of a

100
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: chari okay, period, you know, he's like leto Lizotte. No,

101
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: Lizot's really they need both them for good fourth line.

102
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: They need both them. But anyway, if the playoffs are

103
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: the number one priority and not rebuilding.

104
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: Then okay, okay, go all in call up Morishoff from Wilkes.

105
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: Now he's been pulled a couple times lately at Wilkes,

106
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: but Morishoff is the best goaltender in the system.

107
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: Everyone with the Penguins knows that.

108
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: We'll say that off the record, and it's pretty obvious

109
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: that shilloffs, ain't it.

110
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 2: So if you are indeed.

111
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: Committed to making the playoffs for your fans and for

112
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: the locker room and for Sid's agent, then commit to

113
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: making the playoffs and call up your best goaltender. Don't

114
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: save this one little corner of your plan for development

115
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: and otherwise want to make the playoffs. Don't leave Morishoff

116
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: and Wilkes and play do or and scratch McGroarty because

117
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: that's nothing to do with rebuilding. That got me pissed,

118
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: But I know I'm ac groarty on the fourth line either,

119
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: And like I said, Muse loves that fourth line, and

120
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: full credit to all three of them guys, But nothing

121
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: will take the emphasis off rebuilding like a coach love

122
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: and a fourth line composed of veterans, because before you

123
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,119
Speaker 1: know it, the coach makes that third that fourth line,

124
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: your third line.

125
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: Calls on the.

126
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: Fifteens up next. If you want to sponsor it. You know,

127
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: here's what we'll do. You call me, well, I'll pick

128
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: some money on the side. That violates FCC regulations. But

129
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: I can live with that. I can live with that.

130
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: And if you violate FCC regulations, you don't go to jail.

131
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: You just, I don't know, get chewed out. I've been

132
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: chewed out before. Five nine the x G.

133
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: It's time out for calls on the fifteens.

134
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: If we get more calls. We got one and we'll

135
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: get the night in the second. But calling now you

136
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: can get in a three three four one two wxdx.

137
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: That's a three three four one two wxdx. I'm not

138
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: sure when I'm going to play that SoundBite with with

139
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: the podcast James Harrison and Joe Hayden where they talk

140
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: about Joe Burrow hates the Steelers.

141
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow has played six years.

142
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: He's played in the Super Bowl, He's played in an

143
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: additional conference championship game, won two division championships. He's done

144
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: better than the Steelers during those six years. Why would

145
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: he hate the Steelers? He certainly wouldn't be jealous. We

146
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: think the whole football world revolves around Pittsburgh. It did

147
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: in the seventies, and it did a little bit during

148
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: the prime of Ben's tenure.

149
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 2: Right now, the Steelers are just enhancement talent. Their job. Guys,

150
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 2: pin me pay me.

151
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: I had somebody give me crap on Twitter because I said,

152
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: I assume why like they said, I don't care about

153
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: my community.

154
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 2: I guess because I just said I would.

155
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: I would rather interview Paul McCartney for five minutes than

156
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: see the Steelers win the Super Bowl this year. I

157
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: don't care about the community. No, you don't understand what

158
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: the community is. You think the community just revolves around

159
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: Akroscher effing Stadium and that hypo psychoid logo. It doesn't

160
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: don't care about the community. I do a scholarship fund

161
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: for kids at North Hills High School. I run a

162
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: deck hockey tournament every year to raise money for the

163
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: Mary Lemoeux Foundation. All the money from my cameo and

164
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: my fifty years no cups fly or T shirt sales

165
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: go to charity. I do a bunch of stuff you

166
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: don't even know about. And I'm gonna get involved with

167
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: animal rescue too. You don't even understand what the community is.

168
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: You think it revolves around football and if your community

169
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: revolves solely are on football. Words cannot express how pathetic

170
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,599
Speaker 1: you are. But let's take some calls. Let's go to

171
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: Nate your own double m mark.

172
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 3: Good to hear from you. Always a pleasure to hear

173
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 3: about your charitable giving.

174
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 2: Right because I willed it like a club. What do

175
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 2: you got?

176
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 3: Uh? The yab hit is on ESPN and we're talking

177
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 3: about how great of a coaching candidate Kevin.

178
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 2: Is think is I think he is?

179
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 3: Do you where do you think he would be best

180
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 3: served in the NFL in in his next venture?

181
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: Tom and I were talking about that. I think Atlanta

182
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: has a good base with Bijon. I think Vegas Pete

183
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: Carroll just turned out to be too old. I'm sure

184
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: those guys didn't take him seriously and probably barely remembered

185
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: who he was. So I would say the jobs open

186
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: right now Atlanta and Vegas. I definitely wouldn't go to

187
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: New York, definitely want to go to Arizona, and I

188
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: might wait to see what other jobs might open up.

189
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,599
Speaker 1: I think if Baltimore opens up and they fire Harborm,

190
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: I think Stefanski would be an attractive candidate they are

191
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: due to his familiarity with the vision in his offensive mindset.

192
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: That might make even more out of Lamar Jackson.

193
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 3: Like most things in Cleveland, they don't know what they

194
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 3: have till it's gone. Well.

195
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, the ownership screwed the Browns up, not Kevin Stefanski.

196
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: And I'm very serious when I say I would fire

197
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: Tomlin as soon as they lose in the playoffs and

198
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: hire Kevin Stefanski. I saw some people saying thank you

199
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: for the call. I saw some people saying they should

200
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: hire Stefanski is the offensive coordinator and have him be

201
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: the coaching waiting for Tomlin. Why would Stefanski want to

202
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: do that? And why would Tomlin want to do that? Although,

203
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: like I said earlier, I've been told by somebody who

204
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: would know heard it last night confronted with somebody else,

205
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: there's a better chance Tomlin doesn't coach next year than

206
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: I think, whatever that means. I still think he's going

207
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: to coach next year, but I've been told there is

208
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: a chance he wants.

209
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 2: Let's go to Eric. Eric, you're on with Mark.

210
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 3: Double big big can right on? Hey, who of the

211
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 3: three Pittsburgh sports teams do you think has the best

212
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 3: chance of winning the next playoff game or series.

213
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 2: The Steelers because they play Monday.

214
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 3: Do you think they got a chance.

215
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they will win.

216
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: I think Houston is not the worst matchup possible and

217
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: Monday night at home.

218
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: I don't know. Just see.

219
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: I hate to buy into a storybook narrative, and this

220
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: is kind of the anti storybook for Steeler fans.

221
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 2: I think it would figure if the Steelers won.

222
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: What Tom wind coach ten more years, brought Rogers back

223
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: next year and didn't come close to winning a Super

224
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: Bowl for another decade. Let's go to Tom. Tom you're

225
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: all with Mark? Good day, Mark, I said, good day? Uh,

226
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: just one of the well full disclosure.

227
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 3: I've been a loyal listener for a while, but my

228
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 3: schedule changed and I haven't been able to suit in

229
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 3: for a little over a year. And I am shocked.

230
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 3: You on the knowes, Oh.

231
00:12:59,400 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 2: You got to say?

232
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 3: How positive? Go ahead on the Steelers?

233
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: You are?

234
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 3: I just wondered what it was.

235
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 2: On the Steelers.

236
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be Houston. That's as far as

237
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: I'll go. No, they're an organization that's clueless. They have

238
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: a forty two year old quarterback they're gonna bring back.

239
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: They have a coach that didn't want a playoff game

240
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: in eight years they're gonna bring back. I mean, I

241
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: think they might be Houston, but I don't think that

242
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: translates to optimism. I think the organization never looks past

243
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: the next game, and I think that's added up to

244
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 1: biting them in the backside.

245
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 3: This is the Mark Madden I know and love of

246
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 3: saying no.

247
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: No, The mark man you know in law is objective

248
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: and tells the truth. I'm not a populist homer like

249
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: almost everybody else in the sports media in this time.

250
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: This is the only place you can go to get

251
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: the truth. There's no question about that. The only place

252
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 1: you can go to get the truth. Let's go to Maddie. Maddie,

253
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: what's up?

254
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 2: What up?

255
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 3: Big SUSI what up? So?

256
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 4: I just want to first start off by saying, I

257
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,599
Speaker 4: find your criticism the Steelers very refreshing.

258
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 2: I find it very accurate.

259
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 4: I do as well. I work with a lot of

260
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 4: zers and they're just in the clouds.

261
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 3: So I did some quick math and.

262
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 4: Basically, what makes five point eight six million per sack?

263
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 2: Okay?

264
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 4: Would you would you say that's worth the money?

265
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 3: Oh?

266
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: I knew he wouldn't be the money he's making now

267
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: is for what he's done in the past. They never

268
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: should have extended his contract. They should have made him

269
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: play out his current contract and then you should have

270
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: franchised him as his play dictates, which it it doesn't really,

271
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: but but yeah, I said this would happen, and it did,

272
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: and nobody wants to hear that. They didn't want to

273
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: hear it. Then let's go to Jeff. Jeff, you're on

274
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: with Double M.

275
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 3: Hey, Mark, how are you?

Speaker 3: I know, while you weren't on, So they were defending

282
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 3: DK Metcalf's actions and says, you should have never gone.

283
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: To Of course they do that other station and they're

284

315
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: them and what has changed if anything.

316
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 3: Oh, I just think there's a whole lot of useful energy.

317
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 3: There was some emergency mark and one of the biggest

318
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 3: thing is there's some stability and goal right now. I

319
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 3: love the way Saint Ivany and Shay have come together

320
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 3: as a tandem. I really like the acquisition of Kulak

321
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 3: coming over from Edmonton. He's been the perfect calming effect

322
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 3: for chrys Latang and so I think the defense is

323
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 3: starting a round in the forum. You know, obviously they

324
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 3: missed a guinea Knlkin, but you can see getting Blake

325
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 3: lazattack is really giving them a lot of depth, and

326
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 3: he and Connor Dudall and Norah Chari have made a

327
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 3: big difference for that team. So I think it's organizational depth.

328
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 3: I think it's really good chemistry on the back end,

329
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 3: some very good depth and goal and it looks to

330
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 3: me like they're having fun playing hockey.

331
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 2: Pierre.

332
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to look at gift towards them off

333
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: because I'm excited by this five game winning streak, But

334
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: are they becoming to veterany You talk about that line

335
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 1: a Charie Deer and was that they're playing good, but

336
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: is it at the expense of the kids getting ice time?

337
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: I just have mixed emotions about the way the talent's

338
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 1: being deployed.

339
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 3: Well, here's the one thing I'd say. The one kid

340
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 3: that's probably in out of the lineup is record Majroorty.

341
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 3: I don't see him as being a depth player in

342
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 3: the National Hockey League. I don't see Ben Kindall being

343
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 3: a depth player in the National Hockey League. The acquisition

344
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 3: of China Kopp was to get points, not to be

345
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 3: a depth player. So I don't see any of those

346
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 3: guys being in the role of Connor Duer or Blake

347
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 3: Zott or Noela Chari. They all got a lot of

348
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 3: gray in their beard. They all been around the league

349
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 3: a long time, but they all accept their role as

350
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 3: depth players. Nol Charitie scores a huge goal against Columbus

351
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 3: the other day to queue the comeback. But I would

352
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 3: tell you this is that the kids that you have there,

353
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 3: that's not going to be their long term jobs. So

354
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 3: I don't really know if you're punishing the kids right now.

355
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 2: Not punishing, but I don't know.

356
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean, what's gonna bother me is when Tommy Novak's

357
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: in the lineup in McGroarty or even Cloyvenen aren't because

358
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: Novak is the kind of player that the kids are

359
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: trying to be, but he has no upside and the

360
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: kids do.

361
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 3: That's so that one's fair and I would see do that,

362
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 3: and I would see more of Tommy Novak is a

363
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 3: winger rather than a center iceman. But I think because

364
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 3: of the injury to Malcolm he is there right now.

365
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 3: But no, that's that is a very fair point, and

366
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 3: I could totally see you that you win that side

367
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 3: of the argument.

368
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 2: What's your early returns on?

369
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: Chinakov got a nice gool with Detroit, great pass from Kendall.

370
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: Sometimes that's new guy energy. But then again, he's getting

371
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: opportunity with Pittsburgh he just wasn't going to get in.

372
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 3: Columbus, and he's trying to TPW prove people wrong. And

373
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 3: that's the biggest thing with him right now because the

374
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 3: guy that drafted him in Columbus arm Pika Lion, and

375
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 3: he's the general manager of the Buffalo Sabers right now,

376
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 3: So all his internal infrastructure of guys who believed in him,

377
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 3: they're no longer there in Columbus, So this is his

378
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 3: next best opportunity and hopefully he takes advantage of it.

379
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 3: The biggest thing with him is you gotta find the

380
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 3: offense with consistency. If he's not a consistent offensive player,

381
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 3: I don't know how he makes your team better, and

382
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 3: that's going to be the biggest test for him.

383
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,239
Speaker 1: The Penguin survived, albeit barely, with him getting Malkin out

384
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: of the lineup. It looks like he's going to return

385
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: for Thursday night's game. Pierre, how much of a boost

386
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: will he give them? And in retrospect, I mean, you

387
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: don't want him to miss games hurt, But him getting

388
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 1: that time off and them getting arrest during the Olympic

389
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: break too, is that going to give him more in

390
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: the tank come the stretch run.

391
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 3: Oh yes, I think those are really valid points. And

392
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 3: the biggest thing about playing against New Jersey on Thursday,

393
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 3: you get Malcolm back, then you get the big body

394
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 3: presence of malk and Math and Brazil, and then Crosby,

395
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 3: Ruff and Rituel can go to work and that creates

396
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 3: more of that death that you want better slotting for

397
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 3: your team, and then maybe you don't see it Tommy

398
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 3: nomach Er, maybe Tommy Novak goes Indieger in the lineup.

399
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 3: I don't know. But to me, the biggest thing is

400
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 3: Gino was playing as well as I've seen him playing

401
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 3: in the last few years. You could see he's got

402
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 3: more pace in his game, he's got more urgency, and

403
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 3: he was having a ton of fun playing with Math

404
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 3: and Brazil. There's no question he was.

405
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure they will.

406
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: But would you pop Malkin right back between Mantha and

407
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: Brazil one hundred percent?

408
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 3: That's why I brought it up. I wouldn't even waste

409
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 3: time if he was a kid and Neil pit was

410
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 3: just learning that the NHL, Like Ben Kndall, I probably

411
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 3: wouldn't do that with a player like Geno malk And

412
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 3: he's not going to be overwhelmed by any situation, especially

413
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 3: with the way he was playing. I haven't seen him

414
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 3: train obviously in the last little while, just because of

415
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 3: the injury. But if he's back and playing the same

416
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 3: way he was before he got hurt, that's really good

417
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 3: news for the Payouns.

418
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: Pierre, you said earlier the goaltending is stabilized, and I

419
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: agree with that for the most part. But is it

420
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: Morishoff the best goalie in the system. If they're making

421
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs of a priority, shouldn't he be called up

422
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: at some point?

423
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 3: Oh, at some point, I think you will. I think

424
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 3: you will. I just think right now, they're trying to

425
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 3: stabilize all situations in the organization, stabilize the goaltending position,

426
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 3: and to stabilize your defense. Get Wolf straight back winning

427
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 3: with consistency. I know they've had some problems doing that

428
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 3: the last a little while, So no, I think obviously

429
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 3: they're definitely working towards having that long term mark. And

430
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 3: you know this better than anybody. Long term, he's going

431
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 3: to be the goalie at Pittsburgh Panals.

432
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd just like to see it maybe in the

433
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 2: short term.

434
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: We're talking to Pierre Maguire, brought to us by always

435
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: Say Flagging and traffic Control. Pierre, I love the wins

436
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 1: at Detroit and Columbus because they were so opposite ends

437
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: of the spectrum. Big defensive effort at Detroit, then big

438
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: comeback at Columbus.

439
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 3: Oh, the thing de Troit is unbelievable. I've been watching

440
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 3: Detroit and coaching against Detroit for a long time. I've

441
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 3: never seen him held the twelve shots on goal like

442
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh did. That was mind shattering. That was phenomenal. And

443
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 3: then to do what they did in Columbus with the

444
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 3: come from behind them and they're getting it from all sorts.

445
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 3: I mean, Tommy Novak can talk about him on the

446
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 3: power play with the one timer, Noela Charity with a

447
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 3: big goal off of Columbus turnover, he's in alone, you know,

448
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 3: Sidney Crowby, I don't know if that was on purpose

449
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 3: or not, that line change where they caught Charlie Coyle

450
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 3: out of position, but it was a thing of beauty

451
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 3: to win an overtime. There was a lot going on

452
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 3: in that game from Pittsburgh and they had to show

453
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 3: a lot of resolve and they did do that. So

454
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 3: I was really impressed by that. But beating Detroit, you know,

455
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 3: on that home and home series, Mark I think has

456
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 3: really helped set this team up in terms of confidence.

457
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 2: No, No, I think so too.

458
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: And I think that defensive effort at Detroit as well,

459
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: because now they know they can do it. Pierre, like,

460
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: from your coach's standpoint, put your coaches hat on. What

461
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: did they do with Detroit to limit the Red Wings?

462
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: The twelve shots? Was there anything different or was it

463
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: just execution of what they usually do.

464
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 3: I think the neutral zone was a lot better one

465
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 3: of the things when you played Detroit, and I saw

466
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 3: that last night when they were playing in Ottawa. When

467
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 3: they get their quick countercam going and they dominated with

468
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 3: the speed and the temple of the game. They're a

469
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 3: hard team to play against because then they can accelerate

470
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 3: the pace from the back end with most Sider or

471
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 3: San dene Pellica. But if you stabilize the neutrals on

472
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 3: and forced them to play a shooting in a retrieval game,

473
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 3: they're not nearly as good at that. And I thought

474
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh did a really good job of doing that against

475
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 3: Detroit the other night.

476
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna have Eric Carlson on the program tomorrow. Pierre,

477
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: I think this has been the best of his three

478
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: seasons in Pittsburgh, and he had a rough couple of weeks,

479
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: but he's done much better the last couple of weeks.

480
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 2: What has made this season better for.

481
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 3: Him here Parker Waterston. Parker's been so good for him

482
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 3: because Parker doesn't need to get points. He's just gonna

483
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 3: play home. Eric knows you've got a steady partner Eric's

484
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 3: gonna get the puck and transported. I think the power

485
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 3: play presence from Eric knowing that he's the number one guy.

486
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 3: He's been very important for him And what I like

487
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 3: the most the other night when they wanted Columbus on

488
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,959
Speaker 3: the comeback, watched the reaction of Carlson and Crosby after

489
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 3: the goal. We weren't seeing that the first two years

490
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 3: because the team wasn't playing well, they weren't relevant, and

491
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 3: I think there was a whole lot of frustration. Now

492
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, everybody's coming together. And I think

493
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 3: one of the most motivating things for Eric Carlson this

494
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 3: year being a member of the Swedish Olympic team, and

495
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 3: he knew he was not a led pipe since to

496
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 3: make it unless he had a good start to the

497
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 3: year and was a good teammate and a good organization man.

498
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 3: And I think he's done all those things and you

499
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 3: could see Crosby respects that and his teammates respect that.

500
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: You know where else he's been a big help and

501
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: it showed on that goal. Pier on a team, to

502
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: be very honest, it doesn't really get how to play

503
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: three on three.

504
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 2: He's a master at it. Isn't he.

505
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 3: He always has been And that such a good call

506
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 3: by you, because that's absolutely true. The big Eric car

507
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 3: he's a right hand shot. He's probably better playing on

508
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 3: the left than he is on the right, by the way,

509
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,479
Speaker 3: because he likes to He's a lot like Paul Coffee.

510
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 3: He likes to cross over right over left when he's

511
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 3: skating with the buck, not left over right. And if

512
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,719
Speaker 3: you ever watch him play on the right side, especially

513
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 3: when he was starting in Ottawa, he had such a

514
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 3: hard time defending because he couldn't pivot and turn. He's

515
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 3: a guy that you have to put him in situations

516
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 3: where he's really comfortable. If you ever get a chance, Mark,

517
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 3: or your viewers or your listeners get a chance, go

518
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 3: watch some of the gold medal game between Sweden and

519
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 3: Canada from the twenty fourteen Winner Olympics in Sochie. Crosby's

520
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 3: playing for Canada and it's a great Canadian team and

521
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 3: Carlson's playing for Sweden. The best player for Sweden in

522
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 3: that tournament and in that game in particular, was Eric

523
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 3: Carlson s He was dominant, He was absolutely dominant, but

524
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 3: they didn't have enough and Canada was just overpoweringly good.

525
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 3: But I think back to those times and I remember

526
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 3: just how great he was, and you know, it looks

527
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 3: like he's got He's real kindled a lot of that

528
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 3: enthusiasmic that he had back then when from about twenty

529
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 3: eleven to about twenty fifteen, he was a dominant player in.

530
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: The league in that main Pierre and I'm a big fan,

531
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: and I know you are to have everybody involved with

532
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: assembling the US Olympic team, but I'm disappointed with the roster.

533
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: No Hudson, no Robertson, and they left off a lot

534
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: of scoring in speed I thought to be big and heavy.

535
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 3: I'm disappointed in no Lane Hudson. I'm really disappointed in

536
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 3: no Jason Robertson. And I won't even pretend I think

537
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 3: Cole Coffield is vastly underrated. If you need to go,

538
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,719
Speaker 3: look at what Montreal has done with him. Cole Coffee

539
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 3: and Lane Hudson and Nick Suzuki. That's why the Canadians

540
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 3: aren't where they are in the standings right now. If

541
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 3: they don't have those three guys, they're not even relevant.

542
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 3: They're not a playoff team. Those guys make that big

543
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 3: a difference. So I was really surprised on Lane, really

544
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 3: really surprised. And you know, I don't want to ever

545
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 3: usurp would be rude to any of the players that

546
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 3: have made the team. So I'm not going to drop

547
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 3: names with their two defense on that roster that Lane

548
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 3: Husson's a better player than and I just I don't

549
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 3: understand that part of it. And Robertson probably merits being

550
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 3: on there too. Here's I'll give you one name though, Mark,

551
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 3: I'm telling you you know it, but most of the

552
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 3: fans don't. This Matt Boldie is something else.

553
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's amazing and very quietly so, but amazing.

554
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 3: And I'm telling you right now, he's probably gonna play

555
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 3: we Loston Matthews at the tournament to start anyway, and

556
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 3: I would expect, well everybody's expecting the to Chucks and

557
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 3: and uh Jack Eichel to be dominant. I think Austin

558
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 3: Matthews maybe with Kyle Connor and Matt Bowley could end

559
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 3: up being the best line for the United States. We'll see,

560
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 3: We'll see how it goes. But this Matt Boldie is

561
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 3: something else. He's really a special player.

562
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: Who's the favorite I would say Canada except for the goaltending,

563
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: but I also understand that Bennington can wind it up

564
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: in big games.

565
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 3: I think the dark horse team to win is Swedens.

566
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 2: Me too, Me too.

567
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 3: We just saw the within the World Junior and there

568
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 3: are a lot of people with Hockey Canadon, a lot

569
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 3: of people in the USA Hockey not too pleased about that.

570
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 3: But the Sreeds were really good. They were full value.

571
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 3: They deserve a lot of credit, and I would not

572
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 3: be surprised. The last time the Olympics were in Italy

573
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 3: two thousand and six, I broadcast a gold medal game

574
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 3: with the great and legendary Doc Emrick and John Davidson,

575
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 3: and the Swedes beat the Finns in the gold medal game.

576
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 3: And the Swedes were full value. They had a great

577
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 3: goalie and Henrik Lundquist, they had autome defense led by

578
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 3: Nick Lidstrom, and they had amazing offensive firepower. But the

579
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 3: guy that took the games over was Matt Sundeen. And

580
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 3: I see a lot of the same kind of stuff

581
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 3: going on with this Swedes team now and it's in Italy.

582
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 3: Maybe they like the pasta, maybe they win the goal.

583
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 2: Pierre. I agree.

584
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: In fact, if you made me pick a final, I

585
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: would pick Canada and Sweden. And Sweden as in the

586
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: World Juniors, their adept at sneaking in when other teams

587
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: are getting all the attention is favorites, aren't they. And

588
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: I also think Sweden has deceptively good goaltending.

589
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 3: They're so good at what you just said. They're absolutely

590
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 3: awesome at that. They are the masters of being under

591
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 3: the radar and taking advantage of it. They're underspoken, but

592
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 3: they always over delivers. It's amazing. So I'm a big fan.

593
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 3: I spent a lot of time in Sweden over the

594
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 3: course of my career, and I do some consulting work

595
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 3: for a company over there right now, at Hockey Company.

596
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 3: And I got to tell you, Mark, they're a factor.

597
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 3: You know. They used to say Penn State was linebacker.

598
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 3: You well, I can tell you this. It's becoming defenceman country.

599
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 3: Is Sweden's coming from Sweden, It's unbelievable. I'll give their defention.

600
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 2: R Pier.

601
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: I do want to talk a bit about World Juniors,

602
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: the US and Canada. I don't want to say they

603
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: disappointed because in a single elimination tournament where all the

604
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: teams are pretty good, especially in the playoffs, anything can happen,

605
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: but I was surprised that neither made the final.

606
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 3: I was really disappointed team Canada. It was their behavior

607
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 3: wasn't very good. They were undisciplined. Their best game that

608
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 3: they played the whole tournament was the last game. You

609
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 3: got to win to get the bronze medals, you got

610
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 3: to lose to get the silver. So I'll give them

611
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 3: full value for that. And if you look at their

612
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 3: team picture, you can see even though they played probably

613
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 3: their best game in the tournament in their last game,

614
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 3: they weren't happy with the bronze. So I totally understand

615
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 3: that and I respect that element to it. But they

616
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 3: started the tournament with I think really bad discipline, yes,

617
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 3: and I didn't like it, and I think it set

618
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 3: the tone for them. So I'm not surprising. Terms of

619
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 3: the US, I did not have them being a medal

620
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,959
Speaker 3: winning team this year. I did not, and so they

621
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 3: this is one of those weird years where it's just

622
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 3: it's sicklical. They'll be back and ready to play for

623
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 3: gold next year.

624
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: And you're right about Canada, because some junior tournaments and

625
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: these are you know, teenagers for the most part, we

626
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: should remember that. But Canada shows up to be the

627
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: swashbuckling bad guys and they lose the plot. And I thought,

628
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: like you said, it happened early in that tournament. They

629
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: never got the plot back, did they.

630
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 3: No, they did not. They had one great game and

631
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 3: it was against Denmark. But outside of that, they weren't

632
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 3: a great team. They really and they know it too,

633
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 3: like they're going to do a mass. The one thing

634
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 3: I'll say about Hockey Canada, and I've been around it

635
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 3: since nineteen eighty nine, they do an amazing debrief whether

636
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 3: they win or lose. At every tournament internationally, they do

637
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 3: really at depth debriefs, and they'll find out from this

638
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 3: team in particular, which I think grossly underachieved, they just

639
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 3: weren't ready to play. I don't think their pre tournament

640
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 3: preparation was good. They did not have an intense enough

641
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 3: pre camp, which they usually do, but they did not

642
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 3: this year for whatever reason, and I think they made

643
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 3: it too easy on their players, and that's why we

644
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 3: saw some kids are acting like they were too cool

645
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,719
Speaker 3: for school, and because of that, they didn't win Pierre.

646
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: Before we wrap up, as you mentioned, the Penguins host

647
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: New Jersey on Thursday.

648
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 2: That's their next game. What do you think of the

649
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 2: Devil so far?

650
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: I know they've had some injury problems with Jack Hughes

651
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: having been out. He's back now, but they still don't

652
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: look like they've kicked in the gear do that. I

653
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: expected better, and I think the standings reflect that they

654
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: should be disappointed right.

655
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,239
Speaker 3: Now, very disappointed. They and the New York Ranger are

656
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 3: two of the bigger disappointments in the Eastern Conference. There's

657
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 3: no question about it. The Devils went out, they spent money,

658
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 3: and they went out and signed players. They obviously were

659
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 3: really excited that Hughton Hesher is a one two punch

660
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 3: down the middle like Pittsburgh had for years with Malcolm

661
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 3: and Crosby. They thought they were really adding to their

662
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 3: defense and making it better. They've had some issues with

663
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 3: their goaltending, some of its injuries, some of us just

664
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 3: been haphazard play. And Sheldon Keith still really hasn't proven

665
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 3: that he's you know, winning NHL coach, So there's a

666
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 3: lot there. I would say this, the Devils don't make

667
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 3: the playoffs, that's going to be a big problem internally

668
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 3: and puts in New Jersey because they missed last year too.

669
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 3: And I don't know if they dealnership will be very

670
00:32:58,440 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 3: pleased if they missed a second year.

671
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 2: Pierre, you are the man.

672
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: You know we should do You and me should We

673
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: should get our own country and have our own Olympic team.

674
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 2: I bet would do good.

675
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 3: I would love to do that. Are you kidding me?

676
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,719
Speaker 3: I would love to do that. Look at they had

677
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 3: a box sled team from Jamaica. Those guys were a

678
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 3: ton of fun. They made lots of money with the movie.

679
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 3: We could do something like that. I think it'd be good.

680
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 3: I'm all in. I'm all in.

681
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 2: Pier, you are the best. We'll do it again next week.

682
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 2: Enjoy the hockey.

683
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 3: I can't wait. Mark, thanks a lot, Have a great night, everybody.

684
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 3: Take care.

685
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: That's Pierre Maguire. That's the best hockey talk anywhere. And

686
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: by the way, Eric Carlson tomorrow will be our tenth

687
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,959
Speaker 1: Penguins player on the show this year. We're only at

688
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: the halfway point. We might get the whole roster. Great

689
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: hockey talk on this station. They ignore it everywhere else

690
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. We do it the best by default, I suppose.

691
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: When I put it that way, Pierre brought to us

692
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: by always saying
