1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: This thing we brought to us by eighty four Humber.

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Let's go over our good friend, who I'm sure will

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: pile on with interesting talk.

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 2: He is the Hebrew hammer.

5
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 3: Yak shamash, Hey, yuk shamash.

6
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, and our duty of courses were not as welcome.

7
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 4: But they can't afford to Funny enough, they kid has

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 4: all that money they don't want to pay. Let's call

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 4: it that to fire him and get a new coach

10
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 4: and pay him a buyout.

11
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you're probably right, but that doesn't mean

12
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: I can't call for him to be fired because again,

13
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: everything that happened with that Notre Dame game, from him

14
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: opening his mouth to the way the game turned out,

15
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: to the garbage time touchdown after the stupid time out,

16
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: him being cold shouldered by Notre Dame's coach, Everything from

17
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: beginning to end about that Notre Dame game was an

18
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: embarrassment to pick.

19
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 3: One hundred percent.

20
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 4: Hey, what I called about was they said the refereeing

21
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 4: was bad. This play didn't have anything to do with

22
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 4: the end of the game. But it was a fourth

23
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 4: and one and the Steelers went for it, and they

24
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 4: look like they lost maybe half a yard, but they

25
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 4: gave him the first down, and the announcers couldn't believe it,

26
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 4: and even the guy from Washington, PA with the plumbing company,

27
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 4: he couldn't believe it either. So my question to you is,

28
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 4: how how does that happen? Like, how do the can

29
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 4: the referees just do whatever they want Gene's territory.

30
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you need janitorial supplies, he's the guy to

31
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: go to in Washington, PA.

32
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, they can't do whatever they want. I agree with you.

33
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: I thought they clearly ignored to replay, if that makes sense.

34
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, they ignored the replay.

35
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 3: And you know what's crazy is.

36
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 4: Is that years ago people would be like, I don't know,

37
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 4: maybe people were betting on these games, But now you

38
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 4: see in the sports leagues, in baseball and basketball people

39
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 4: do so how could you not, like, I don't know,

40
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 4: your ear goes up a little bit?

41
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: No, no, no question.

42
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: With with gambling so pervasive and having their class sunk

43
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: into every resport, including college, you have to get every

44
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: call right via replay.

45
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 2: Especially. There's no excuse because people then will wonder, hey.

46
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 4: And lastly, here Washington, I would use him in the

47
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 4: second half because if you see the replay, he's.

48
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 2: Stiff on the first guy.

49
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 4: The second guy didn't even know if he wanted to

50
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 4: tackle him. He kind of like half tackled him.

51
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 5: So I would use him to wear these teams down.

52
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 4: That sounds crazy, but he can flick such pain, not.

53
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: Just the first half, not just the second half. I'd

54
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: used him the whole game. Then again, he's so fat.

55
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm fat, I can say that, but he's

56
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: so bulky. He wears down too, wouldn't you think.

57
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 4: Well, he probably runs out of brown more than anything.

58
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 4: But the question is would you use him for the

59
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 4: fifth quarter show?

60
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: That's your cue? Wharemy? I don't have a fifth quarter show?

61
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: I used to.

62
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: I used to do that bootleg post game show on

63
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: ESPN twelve fifty by the way, breaking news and college football,

64
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: and I love it.

65
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: God help me, but I do love it.

66
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: So James Franklin, ex of Penn State, is the new

67
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: coach at Virginia Tech. Him and the acc with his

68
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: recruiting skills, He's going to be a force to be

69
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: reckoned with just about immediately, and Penn State will rue

70
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: the day they fired James Franklin overreacting to one bat

71
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: half season Terry Smith, nice guy, and not a head

72
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: coach ain't doing no better.

73
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: Whoever they get won't do no better.

74
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: Penn State just made a grievous error firing James Franklin.

75
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: No question about that.

76
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: Eight three to three four one two w xdx number

77
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: to call the next segment wide open for calls if

78
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: you want it to be Otherwise we'll just go to

79
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: the same old crap. Well, no, I'm always interesting. But

80
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: we were talking about the Will Howard thing earlier. Some

81
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: people of ocal minority think he should play, he should

82
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: get a shot.

83
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: That's ridiculous. You're stupid.

84
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: And if you think that, he's hardly taken any snaps

85
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: since he got drafted, he was hurt in camp, didn't

86
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: play any exhibition snaps, didn't even return to practice till

87
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,119
Speaker 1: three weeks ago, and he's not ever going to beat

88
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: the guy.

89
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: He's a six round pick. Yeah, Brady, I know.

90
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: But here's an interesting stat I had my trip cal

91
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: Hm today and it applies to this. You Will Howard Marx,

92
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: whether you wanted to or not, of the thirty two

93
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks in the NFL twenty five got picked in

94
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: the first round, three more got picked in the second round.

95
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: That's twenty eight out of thirty two that were picked

96
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: in the first and second round. So you can talk

97
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: about Brady, you talk about rock Party. They are the exceptions.

98
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 2: That prove the rule, that prove the rule.

99
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph has earned the number two spot. I think

100
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: the Steelers would have been better off had he become

101
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: the starter when Ben retired at the end of the

102
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season and started from then till now.

103
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: They would have done better maybe, And I know for

104
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: sure they would not have done worse because Tomlin and

105
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 1: the Steelers have done nothing but mangle the quarterback positions

106
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: since been retired, and probably even for the last how

107
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: many years of Ben's tenure. And we can talk about

108
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: what I just said that Nardoozi should be fired. I

109
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: think he's an embarrassment to the university, never more so

110
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: than Notre Dame Week and the game itself. Also, Shador Sanders,

111
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: he sucks an he comment you people who want Howard

112
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: to play, look at what Shador did last night. A

113
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: guy who's considered to have a higher pedigree, a guy

114
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: who went around earlier, was thought to go in the

115
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: first round until he didn't. Man that draft for every

116
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: time it lies. There are hundreds of times it does not,

117
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: So get your calls in now. Dustin's stay on hold

118
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: will get you in a second. And we have Phil

119
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: Bork talking hockey at the bottom of the hour. It's

120
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: the Mark Maddens Show one oh five nine.

121
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 6: Every weekday at ten am. Is Travis starting your birthday

122
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 6: commercial freight on one O five nine X from the.

123
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 7: One oh five nine the X Traffic Center nine.

124
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: We got Phil Bork in just a little bit talk

125
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: about the Penguins trip to Sweden. They play at home

126
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: Friday against Minnesota. That's their next game.

127
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 3: Thought.

128
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: The Penguins played great fundamental hockey in the.

129
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: Four NIERO win yesterday.

130
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: The lost Saturday, excuse me, Friday in overtime to the Predators.

131
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 2: Not so much.

132
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: But they're right in that playoff hunt a quarter of

133
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: the way through the season. The Penguin's got to break

134
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: when Jack use the Devil Star. He needed hands surgery

135
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: after a bizarre accident at a restaurant. Steak knife, broken glass,

136
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: screwing around, stupid, whatever it was that happened. He's out

137
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: a couple months at least, and New Jersey is good,

138
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: but their attack revolves around Jack Hughes at center. So

139
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: enjoy your steak. Got borkidt the bottom of the hour.

140
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: Let's go to Matt and Monroeville, Matt Murraysville. Rather, you're

141
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: on with Mark.

142
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 8: Hey, Mark as somebody went to Penn State and WVU.

143
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 8: Watching Nardoozi bungle that Notre Dame game kind of gave

144
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 8: me a little bit of hope that things aren't going

145
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 8: to be so bad. But it's going to get so

146
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 8: much worse for him when Franklin goes down to Virginia

147
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 8: Tech and takes a bunch of those pen commits with him.

148
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: I think.

149
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: I think Virginia Tech's going to be the preeminent power

150
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: in the ACC under Franklin, and it won't take long.

151
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: I think it'll it'll take a couple of years. He's

152
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: one of the best recruiters in football period. At the

153
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: ACC level, which is a level below, He's going to

154
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: be incredible. He could get them to where Clemson was

155
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: not too long ago, no kidding.

156
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, But I also think he's also going to probably

157
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 8: more some of those ten State recruits that be committed

158
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 8: with him too.

159
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 2: I think he might were some Penn State players to transfer.

160
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 3: That's very possible.

161
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question.

162
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: So uh in Nordouzzi, I mean I I can't imagine

163
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: playing for Nardouzzi. I can't imagine if I were a

164
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: parent wanting my kid to play for Nardozzi. He is

165
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: an execrable jackass. Let's go to dust and Dusty. You're

166
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: on with Mark.

167
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 5: Ah yes, uh I yes, I don't agree with you

168
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 5: saying that Penn State shouldn't have fired Franklin. He's had

169
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 5: what ten eleven years to win a pir SE playoff

170
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 5: game against Ohio State.

171
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: He won two playoff games last year.

172
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 5: And you say the Steelers.

173
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: He won two playoff games last year.

174
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 5: Well again too, though they're not those aren't exactly?

175
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: He won two playoff games last year. He got to

176
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: the final four last year. What n State shouldn't tolerate

177
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: one bad season? It was the first bad season he had,

178
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: and what's happened since indicates to me it was the team,

179
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: not just the coaching. That the players aren't very good

180
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: plus you and all are falling apart and then getting hurt.

181
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: You got to forgive a coach with Franklin's track record

182
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: one bad season.

183
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 5: Well, Tomlin beats the Ravens once a year. They're a

184
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 5: playoff team.

185
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, good for Tomlin. Anything else.

186
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: Nope, Yeah, I mean you're so full of crap on

187
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: every level. I mean, Penn State, it will turn out

188
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: they blew it, and the Steelers have blown up by

189
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: keeping Tomlin as long as they have. Just because the

190
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: similar the situations appear to be similar to you, they're

191
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: really not. Right now, though, I want to talk about

192
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: the bet Parks online casino and sportsbook. It's the only

214
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: I can't even quote, the big o'bowski right, goodbye.

215
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 6: Dx A one.

216
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: Penguins are back after success full trip to Sweden three

217
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: out of four points. Joining me now color analysts for

218
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: the team, two times Stanley Cup champion, the old two

219
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: niner Phil bork Borky, How is Sweden?

220
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: Did you go to the Abba Museum? I did not

221
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: go to the Avenueuseum.

222
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 9: So yeah, I'm expecting I expected that, of course, But

223
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 9: to answer your question more specifically, it was tremendous. If

224
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 9: you ever get a chance, head on over. The people

225
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 9: are They're so friendly, they're so down to earth. Everybody

226
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 9: speaks English. The architecture was incredible. You just I mean

227
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 9: my neck is sore from just you know, seeing so

228
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 9: many different things. The old town there. You would absolutely

229
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 9: love Mark. I don't know if you've ever been to

230
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 9: kind of the old part of Montreal where they have

231
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 9: the cobblestone roads and of course European. Yeah, of course

232
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 9: that's that's where it was. But probably the highlight of

233
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 9: the trip, besides the hockey was the food. The food

234
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 9: was incredible. I dined it a couple of really nice restaurants.

235
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 9: I knew they were nice because the first place I

236
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 9: went to did was there with all the boys, and

237
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 9: then the next place I went to with Josh Yetzov

238
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 9: of getting Malkin rolled in with Archer Sheeloffs and Sergey Mershoffs.

239
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 3: I know if Sidt and.

240
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 9: Gina were picking those spots, they were a one and

241
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 9: they were off the charts.

242
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: Could I loved the game yesterday, the four nierl win,

243
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: as evidenced by Morishoff got his first win and shut out,

244
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: but didn't have to work too hard. The Penguins managed

245
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 1: that early lead very intelligently.

246
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

247
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 9: I love the adjustments, not only the adjustments made by

248
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 9: their head coach Dan Muse as far as the lineup changes,

249
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 9: there was about seven different changes if you include the goaltender,

250
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 9: whether it's personnel in or out or more importantly, just

251
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 9: kind of the shuffling of the lines, and it just

252
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 9: seemed like all the pieces of the puzzle snapped into

253
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 9: place Mark and you're right, the details were back in

254
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 9: the Penguins game.

255
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: They were doing everything with purpose.

256
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 9: They're playing Morris five man units, they were fundly pucks

257
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 9: to the net, they were getting traffic in front of

258
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 9: the net, all the things that seemed to be lacking

259
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 9: in that first game. And I can't put my finger

260
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 9: on why it was lacking in the first game.

261
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 3: I don't want to say it was nerves. I don't

262
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 3: want to say was traveled.

263
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 9: Because Nashville had the same thing going on, and they

264
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 9: had an opportunity to get the full two points, and

265
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 9: you almost felt like, you know, the way they lost

266
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 9: the game in overtime with the Sam Coast blast that

267
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 9: you know, Josh Getzov's kind of said this, and I

268
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 9: had to agree with them that they kind of got

269
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 9: what they deserved, where yeah, you know, they they played

270
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 9: kind of good.

271
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 3: Enough to get the point.

272
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 9: They didn't certainly didn't play good enough to get the

273
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 9: full two points. And if they walked out of there

274
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 9: with the full two points, you felt like they probably

275
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 9: put a put a ski mask on.

276
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it would have flattered to de See for sure,

277
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: But yesterday's game fully deserved victory for the Pens.

278
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: Is it just me?

279
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: Or is Ryan Graves after starting the year in Wilkes,

280
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: is he born again under Dan Muse in a more

281
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: basic system.

282
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 2: Perhaps?

283
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 3: I think so.

284
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 9: I think it's a combination of yah system. But also

285
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 9: I just think he had a big old piece of

286
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 9: Humble Pie and I think it's given him back that

287
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 9: urgency in his game.

288
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 3: And I think he's taken.

289
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 9: A giant deep breath and exhaled and just simplified his games.

290
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 9: And he's just doing so many little things right and

291
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 9: even just getting involved physically. And I know, you know

292
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 9: that that moment when evangelist just Stick came up and

293
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 9: cut his lip, it was his own stick to hit him,

294
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 9: but it was you know, six foot five, two hundred

295
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 9: pounds defenseman Ryan Graves throwing his body around. And I

296
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 9: know it's not natural for him, but I think he's

297
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 9: realized that my team needs it at some level.

298
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 3: It needs it.

299
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 9: It doesn't have to be you know, a bruiser that

300
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 9: goes over the boards and thumps his chest. That's not

301
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 9: in his DNA, But one thing he has to find

302
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 9: and injected into his DNA is.

303
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 3: A bit of a rough style of play because we.

304
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 9: Don't have a lot of that on the back end.

305
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 9: And when you're given that size and the strength that

306
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 9: he has, I think he's got to reach down every

307
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 9: single game and pull that in some fashion out. And

308
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 9: I find that when he plays physical marks a lot.

309
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 3: Of other things seem to line up.

310
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 9: He's not the only player that's ever happened to It

311
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 9: just seems like whether it's between the ears or the

312
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 9: skates or the hands and everything working together. I think

313
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 9: when he plays physical, he's a much well rounded defenseman.

314
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 2: I agree.

315
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: I think it gets the adrenaline pumping and that always

316
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: leads to good things. And in that vein, I can't

317
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: get over Shay and Watherspoon and what they've done so far.

318
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: I never ever saw them as top four, but I

319
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: think each is a good fit for his partner and

320
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: that goes a long way.

321
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, A little tip of the cap to Kyle and

322
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 9: his crew to identify these guys with different organizations, where

323
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 9: Shay was with Dallas and Woldspoon with Boston and are

324
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 9: identifying that, you know, maybe these are not the best players,

325
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 9: but they could be the right players, right And you

326
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 9: know Shae being able to play with Tanger and woldesspoon

327
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 9: between those defense pairings, and you're right, they're not overwhelmed

328
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 9: by the amount of minutes because if you play with

329
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 9: Tanger or you play with Derek Carlson, you're going to

330
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 9: be north of twenty just because that's who your partner

331
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 9: is and that's how much he plays. But that you've

332
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 9: got at this point and we hit the quarter pole

333
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 9: this weekend, mark that you got two goals from each

334
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 9: of those guys as well as a few points. That's

335
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 9: bonus time, right, because they kill the penalties, they're physical,

336
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 9: they move the putt quick, they do all as you

337
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 9: mentioned that one's able to play with La Tang, the

338
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 9: other is able to play with Carlson. You factor in

339
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 9: all those things, you're like, what a bonus. It'd be

340
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 9: great to just have one of those guys, And now

341
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 9: that we have two of those guys, it's it's double bonus.

342
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: You mentioned the lineup shuffling switching. Some of the combinations

343
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: are on. I loved Kevin Hayes with Gino and Mansa

344
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: with Razoot, Go Bigger, Go Home, stay big in this case.

345
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: And and Gino he really fits in with those big guys,

346
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: doesn't he.

347
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 3: Yeah?

348
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 9: Amen, brother, And you know hazy, he's you know, Gino

349
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 9: isn't the guy that a lot of times initiates the

350
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 9: conversation on the ice or on the bench. And Anthony

351
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 9: manthis kind of a reserved guy. And so I think

352
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 9: it's healthy for Gino to have a chirpy guy. And

353
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 9: that's what Kevin Hayes is. So that's kind of the

354
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 9: intangible part. But the more you know, obvious parts that

355
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 9: you're talking about. He's got size, he's got skilled. Yeah

356
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 9: he's not lightning quick, but he makes up with it

357
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 9: with his hockey smarts. And so yeah, I like that.

358
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 9: I also like Connor dr up with sit because nobody

359
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 9: else seemed to fit real well, I know kindle at

360
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 9: the beginning. But I think we'll both agree Mark that

361
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 9: Ben Kendall plays his best hockey in the three C

362
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 9: right's center.

363
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: He needs to play in the middle.

364
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, right, And so it was great.

365
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 9: We had fun, you know, the first couple of games

366
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 9: up with Sid yippie y aha. But in the meantime

367
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 9: you get him back where he's number one natural position

368
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 9: and number two natural place puzzle piece on this team,

369
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 9: and everything seemed to fall into place. And I like

370
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 9: the job that Connor do It did. He's got a

371
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 9: little bit of a Chris Kunitz and a Pascal Daplee.

372
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 9: Maybe not to finish, but he's good enough. I think

373
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 9: until he can get Ricard kel back in the lineup,

374
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 9: I think Connor Doer can do a lot of the

375
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 9: little things that can help Sid and Rusty keep on

376
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 9: keeping us.

377
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 2: We're talking to the old two nine or here on

378
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 2: the X.

379
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: How about the PK lately four out of four yesterday,

380
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: thirteen out of fourteen over its last five games.

381
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 2: Who have been to catalysts there, BORKI.

382
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 9: The first person I think of is blake O's ott,

383
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 9: you know, especially with no Lachari, you know, somebody had

384
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 9: to step up. Connor do has blocked more shots than

385
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 9: I think any of us realize in kind of a

386
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 9: quiet way. And then you throw Rusty out there, you know,

387
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 9: I just think that it's all hands on deck and

388
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 9: the defense, even putting Eric Carlson out on the power play.

389
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 9: I don't know if there was much of a conversation

390
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 9: or I think it's just, you know, almost by us mosis,

391
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 9: you know, like he'll figure it out. Like we're going

392
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 9: to put them in that position because he's you know,

393
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 9: paid like a top defenseman, and we're not going to

394
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 9: shy away from it. We're not going to insulate you

395
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 9: and just sit you on the bench in the PK.

396
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 9: We're going to kind of force feed you a little

397
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 9: bit here. And I think that Eric has responded to

398
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 9: that a bit of a challenge, whether it's verbal or

399
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 9: non verbal, whatever it is. I think Eric Carlson is

400
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 9: raised this game.

401
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 3: And you mentioned why this boon. You mentioned Shay.

402
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 9: You know, those guys have really stepped the game up

403
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 9: on whether it's winning puck battles, puck retrieval, and I

404
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 9: think probably the most important thing that's been lacking in

405
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 9: the last few years is clearing that net front. Right

406
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 9: the net front presence we hear about so much in

407
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 9: the offensive zone for the Penguins, I think it's been

408
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 9: more important in the defensive zone having a net front

409
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 9: prince presence. And I think that Shay and Roldespoon and

410
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 9: now Graves have brought you.

411
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 2: More of that.

412
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and one last thing about carl on the PK two,

413
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: I was surprised when when mus decided to try it.

414
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: But one thing he's brilliant at. Carl's great on clears,

415
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: and I think that's an underrated science. I don't remember this.

416
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: Borky Dan Bogen used to analyze clears like where the

417
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: clear was most likely to be, how you could do

418
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: it blind like you sometimes got to do on the PK,

419
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: and where the good spots would be. I think Carlson

420
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: has that instinct for where the open ice is to clear.

421
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, and the common denominator there is dann Us and

422
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 9: Dan Bosma are kind of both, you know PK specialists.

423
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 9: You know Bosma when he played that, I mean that's

424
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 9: why he played in the National Hockeyague. He was so

425
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 9: good at blocking shots and killing penalties and doing all

426
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 9: that grunt work. And a big part of that is,

427
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 9: you know, taking a hit to make a play to

428
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 9: get first to the puck and get it down two

429
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 9: hundred feet right, And you're right, I think Barrick Carlson, listen,

430
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 9: he's not He's not built to be a bruising guy

431
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 9: and take a lot of physical contact and he knows that,

432
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 9: and so to survive in that environment, he's got to

433
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 9: use his great wheels and instincts and quick feet to

434
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 9: get the loose pucks. So that's part A right of

435
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 9: the equation. Part B is what you were just talking about,

436
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 9: of finding the lane, whether it's off the glass, right

437
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 9: the defense, and that's trying to hold his own to

438
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 9: shoot it right, his teeth, whatever it takes to get

439
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 9: it down two hundred feet and more times than not,

440
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 9: when Carlson gets that puck on his stick on the PK,

441
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 9: it's going down.

442
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: Now you've got three games at home against struggling teams.

443
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: You got to get five points at least. It's time

444
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: to make Kbarki.

445
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 3: No. And you just look at the month of November.

446
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 9: I mean that was the Penguins win on the other

447
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 9: night was only the second win in the month of November.

448
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 3: So you have a great opportunity here.

449
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 9: You got a few days off and then you get

450
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 9: the back to back home games against Minnesota and Seattle.

451
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 3: You're right, very winnable.

452
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 9: And then you got Buffalo and you got Columbus, right

453
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 9: very winnable. And then you finish off the month with

454
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 9: a Saturday night home game against Toronto, which you know

455
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 9: will always be rockets, right, And so that's that's your

456
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 9: month of November. So a lot on the table, and

457
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 9: I think the Penguins have realized enough is enough here.

458
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 3: We're we're not.

459
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 9: Looking for you know, moral victories or you know, Mormon

460
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 9: fuzzy games and moments.

461
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 3: We want points.

462
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 9: We want to keep going up the ladder. This is real,

463
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 9: this is tangible. In the locker room, they're feeling that mark.

464
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 9: They know they have something special. They know they have

465
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 9: the injection of youth and multiple layers. They have depth

466
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 9: guys that can actually play and contribute, whether it's in

467
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 9: the goaltender position or throughout the lineup. They realize we've

468
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 9: got to keep piling up points and chasing down with

469
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 9: the devils. I heard you talk about Jack Hughes Carolina.

470
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 9: You know they're going to be there.

471
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 3: But all of a sudden, you've got.

472
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 9: What four or five teams all scrunched in now by

473
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 9: four points, and the Penguins are one of those teams,

474
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 9: the top of all those teams, and very winnable games

475
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 9: to finish off the month of November. And it didn't

476
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 9: start very good, but the Penguins have a great chance

477
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 9: to finish it really good.

478
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: And I got to stick with the Metro Division for second,

479
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: because while I hate to draw conclusions after just twenty games,

480
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: New Jersey's whole attack revolves around Jack Hughes and their

481
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: power play too. With him out for two months, that's

482
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: going to hurt a great deal. I'm not saying the

483
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: New York Rangers are done, but I know what done

484
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: looks like, and it looks like them. I think washes

485
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: out of gas without the adrenaline of OVI chasing Gretzky.

486
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of things that could be

487
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 1: done in this division, and if the Penguins arrive earlier

488
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: than we expected, I'm okay with that.

489
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,479
Speaker 9: Yeah, so am I as long as we don't end

490
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 9: up in the muddy middle, right. I mean, if if

491
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 9: you're gonna do this, let's go, and you know, it'll

492
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 9: make for some hard decisions, you know, whether it's you know,

493
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 9: during the Olympic break or more importantly, at trade deadline

494
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 9: day in March. I think if if Gino and Sit

495
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 9: they're going to continue to play like this, we get

496
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 9: healthy again with Brezo and Raquel, I just would love

497
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 9: to see them make a run and at least get

498
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 9: into the playoffs because you almost feel like, especially for Gino, right,

499
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 9: you feel like, not not that he doesn't need to

500
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 9: make a statement, but I think for his personal pride

501
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 9: with not knowing what next year holds, I think he

502
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 9: he doesn't want that game number eighty two to come

503
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 9: and then just be sitting in a stall in half

504
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 9: his gear on, just kind of staring off into space.

505
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 9: I don't think he wants that, And I think he's

506
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 9: realized that's a lot realer than it's ever been, and

507
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 9: so I want to make sure I do something about it.

508
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 9: So if this is the last year as a Pittsburgh Penguin,

509
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 9: I'm gonna make it a memorable one.

510
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: And I think dude is trying stuff we haven't seen

511
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: him do. BORKI he's like the two bank shot goals

512
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,479
Speaker 1: in Sweden? How often has Gino even tried that? From

513
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: behind the net? Usually it has to be like a Picasso.

514
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: But now he's settling, and settling sounds like a bad things,

515
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: but sometimes it's not.

516
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 9: Yeah, we allow me to throw simplifying in with your

517
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 9: settling exactly. I think that's right, that's where it is,

518
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 9: and you're right sometimes you know, from up top, we

519
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 9: kind of look at each other and just be like

520
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 9: you know why is he trying to do that? And

521
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 9: we do know if we know Geno like I know,

522
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 9: you know him, a lot of the mistakes he makes,

523
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 9: it's because he cares too much and he tried to

524
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 9: do too much on his own. I think he's now

525
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 9: trusting his teammates. He likes his linemates, and I think

526
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 9: that the new voice and the respect that he has

527
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 9: for his new head coach, Dan Muse, I think that

528
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 9: whether it's saying the same thing and it's just a

529
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 9: different voice, it's premeated with a Guinea Malkin, and he

530
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 9: simplified his game.

531
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 3: He's got He.

532
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 9: Just looks in shape, he looks like there's joy back

533
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 9: in his game, and maybe that's helping energize him.

534
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 3: Whether it's the new head coach, whether it's.

535
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 9: The new linemates, whether it's the young players that are

536
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 9: on this team that are helping, you know, lighten the

537
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 9: load for the guys that are thirty eight and thirty nine,

538
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 9: whatever it is, check all those boxes. As Guinea Malkin

539
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 9: just seems energized and just as having a blast playing

540
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 9: hockey for the Pittsburgh Prangments.

541
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 2: What was your beverage of choice in Sweden, BORKI.

542
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 9: I had a couple of cold beers, but I really

543
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 9: went with the wine.

544
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 3: And that was about it. I'll tell you the one thing.

545
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 9: I mean, there's a different kind of beverage that you

546
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 9: think you were talking about, but the coffee's over there.

547
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 3: I don't know what it was.

548
00:26:58,560 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: Italy too, it's the same thing.

549
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, the European coffees in a particular Sweden and like

550
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: I said, Italy are unbelievable.

551
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, you just felt like in a lot of it

552
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 9: leans into the espresso right where you drink less, but

553
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 9: we get more of what we're looking for from our

554
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 9: coffee here in the US.

555
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 3: Right.

556
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 9: That's a little bit of joke because we're all walking

557
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 9: around like zombies, sleep, depride, right, So that's mostly why

558
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 9: we drink coffee right over there, you know, there's nothing,

559
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 9: it's nothing to drink, you know, five or six espressos

560
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 9: in the middle of the day, just to kind of

561
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 9: give you that ooms that you're looking for.

562
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: One last thing working because it applies to the Steeler

563
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: game yesterday.

564
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 2: Did anybody ever spit on you during your career?

565
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 3: No, but I spit on Adam Graves.

566
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: You did. Oh, that's good. Was it ever he broke

567
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 2: marios and it.

568
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 9: Was the first game back. It was the only time

569
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 9: I ever did in my career. At the you know,

570
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 9: I kind of wasn't proud of it, but at the moment,

571
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 9: I was proud of it because you know, that's when

572
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 9: Scotty Bowman looked us all in the eye right before

573
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 9: that first game, because you remember he missed the game,

574
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 9: but then when he came back, No, he actually played

575
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 9: the first game, and then he missed the second game

576
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 9: after breaking back.

577
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 2: He got suspended after the fact, which was weird.

578
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 9: After the fact that he actually played the game. But

579
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 9: Scotty Bowman walked around the room and said, nobody, nobody

580
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 9: touch him. We're just gonna win the game, win the series,

581
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 9: and move on. So I was like, the hell with that.

582
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 9: And so this is when there was only one referee

583
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 9: and when he wasn't looking, I hawked a big old

584
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 9: luber right in his face. And you know, it's the

585
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 9: only time I ever did it. But you have to agree, Mark,

586
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 9: I don't know how many things in the NHL or

587
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 9: all sports is more disrespectful than that.

588
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: Well, I can't endorse what you did, Borky, but I

589
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: do appreciate the target. Great stuff, and we'll do it

590
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: again next week.

591
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 3: Sounds good double, I'm enjoyed that time together. This was

592
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 3: good duck talk.

593
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: That's Phil Bork and by the way, Jamar Chase suspended

594
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: for a game for spinning at Jayalen Ramsey. We'll talk

595
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: about that more in just a second, but that is

596
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: breaking news here on one oh five nine the x

597
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: oh wait and I almost forgot Ask Mark Anything? Dial

598
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,720

00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: time to submit your questions for Ask Mark Anything.

602
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 2: Use your free iHeartRadio.

603
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 4: App and sap the microphone icon.

604
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: To send your questions to the super genius instantly.

605
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 2: This hour the Mark Madden Shows brought to you by

606
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 2: by Light probably served with Blinky's in Green Tree Stopping Blinky's.

607
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 6: Intradations TX at one oh five nine.

608
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: Thanks to BORKI not time to ask Mark Anything. Brought

609
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: to us by People's Hyphengas dot Com. I'm going to

610
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: see John five tonight, who was on the show last week.

611
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: He said, Juggles, if you see me, don't talk to me. Well,

612
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: you can talk to me, just not while the music's playing.

613
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: Then definitely don't talk to me. My buddy Fab five

614
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: Freddy will be there too, Freddy Kowalo, Nikki Six's base

615
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: tech who's a local guy. So I'm looking forward to

616
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: checking out five and Richie Cotton up in Jurgles this evening.

617
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 2: If we're just tuning in.

618
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: The breaking news is Jamar Chase got suspended a game

619
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: for spitting at Jalen Ramsey. But Jalen Ramsey apparently did

620
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: not get suspended for punching Jamar Chase. I would much

621
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: rather be spat upon than punched, but hey whatever, it's

622
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: the macho thing. There's nothing worse than spitting on somebody,

623
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: at least that's what the popular opinion seems to be

624
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: locally today. Again to repeat, I don't get the outrage

625
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: over spitting. It's saliva, not battery acid. Ramsey should have

626
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: walked away and finished helping his teammates win. People talk about, oh,

627
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: it's so degrading, Well, there's lots of stuff that's more degrading.

628
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: I can only refer to the popular Brawser series. Hey

629
00:30:54,480 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: that's my wife, you guys cuckholding multiple participants, wide angle shots,

630
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: spit roast, fingercuffs. It's really not too bad and nobody

631
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: spits well, I mean they do, but that's not the

632
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: focal point. But good to Tom and Franklin Park Tom

633
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: ask Mark anything.

634
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 7: Hey Mark, I'm a big Liverpool and Riverhounds fan too,

635
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 7: and I had a questions for you about the deep

636
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 7: run Riverhounds are making right and I'm wonder of them.

637
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 7: Might be about coach Lily his maybe his tactics and demeanor.

638
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: Have no idea how they changed things. I know that

639
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: the coach now, whose name, what's the coach's name now.

640
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 3: I can't even remember.

641
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 2: I'll top in my head, well that doesn't speak well

642
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 2: from the job he's done.

643
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: But but yeah, you know that. I don't think they've

644
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: changed tactics. I think they might. I mean, you can.

645
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: I heard somebody on Serious XM sayt Rob Vincent is

646
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: the interim coach, good player for the Hans.

647
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 2: A while back.

648
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: I heard somebody on on Serious XM saying they've opened

649
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: their tactics up, but they have one goal in three

650
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: playoff games, so I'm not sure that's true.

651
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 2: Thank you for the call. Let's go to a talkback Hey, Mark,

652
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: did you ever go to a Flyers game in their

653
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 2: house and sit in the stands.

654
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: I've never gone to a Flyers game in Philadelphia sat

655
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: in the stans. No, always in the press box. Why

656
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,239
Speaker 1: would I be scared? Hell, I'd go there wearing one

657
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: of my Flyers T shirts. Well, I'd get a hoodie.

658
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: Made I look better in hoodies. Let's go to a talkback.

659
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 7: Hey Mark, just curious what you thought of the Shrek

660
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 7: movie franchise.

661
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: Thanks, have never seen even one Shrek movie, which makes

662
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: it in line with most movie franchises. Franchises generally don't

663
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: interest me.

664
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 10: Let's go to a talkback super genius Eric in Toledo. Hey,

665
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 10: want to know your thoughts on the band Breaking Benjamin.

666
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 10: I actually liked some of their earlier stuff about fifteen

667
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 10: sixteen years ago, but I haven't heard much from him since.

668
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 2: But did you ever like them?

669
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 10: What were your thoughts on them?

670
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 3: Thanks?

671
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 2: As a bit and on the X playlist. I do

672
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 2: like Breaking Benjamin.

673
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, like you said, their best stuff was how many

674
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: years ago? But every band I liked? Their best stuff

675
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: was how many years ago? But I saw them live once.

676
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: I was impressed, actually more impressed by their live performance

677
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: than their output on vinyl. But yeah, I mean they're

678
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: not a bit I'm going to travel to see, but

679
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: if they're in Pittsburgh.

680
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 2: I will go see him.

681
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: Good drum sound, really good drum sound, both on record

682
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: and live, really just bang good drum sound.

683
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 2: Let's go to a talk back.

684
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 9: And mark DK Metcalf has six penalties called against them

685
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 9: this year and six drop passes.

686
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 2: That's one negative play a game.

687
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 3: Why don't think there's more emphasis on all of his penalties.

688
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: I think DK Metcalf's been a disappointment by any definition

689
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: of that word. Although Matt Williamson brought up a good

690
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: point when he was on the show earlier. He said

691
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: that we think of DK Metcalf as a number one receiver.

692
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 2: He said that Metcalf's just a level below.

693
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: He pointed out, and rightly, I believe that there's only

694
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:07,719
Speaker 1: about ten or twelve legitimate number one receivers in the NFL,

695
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: guys like Justin Jefferson and Ceedee Lamb, et cetera. And

696
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,320
Speaker 1: that we tend to think that every team has a

697
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: number one receiver, but most don't, and the Steelers don't

698
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: because DK Metcalf ain't. It now is he handicapped by

699
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: they're not really being a true number two receiver. Absolutely

700
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 1: he is, but I don't think that excuses the drops

701
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: or the penalties.

702
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 2: And maybe that's about it.

703
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: You tell me, who would you add to that list?

704
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 3: I would think, well, I would.

705
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,280
Speaker 8: Probably say in New Jersey because of their youth.

706
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 1: Uh No, they could beat New Jersey because of their youth,

707
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: and plus New Jersey they might have trouble making the

708
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: playoffs with the two months still be crippled by this

709
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: Jack Hughes injury. Thank you for the call up. Neck's

710
