1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: Uh, but so these complaints seem pretty legit to me, 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: but we've known they've always been there. So your thoughts 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,959 Speaker 1: on that Steeler report card, which wasn't supposed to be 4 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: made public anymore, but you knew it was gonna be 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: dial eight three three four one two w xdx. Aaron 6 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: Rodgers had a very specific complaint. He said the rooms 7 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: aren't dark enough and they didn't have enough ayahuasca on them. 8 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: What did I've heard like they have like various pills, 9 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,480 Speaker 1: stuff like that, a drug counter in football locker rooms. 10 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: Nothing illegal? Well ayahuasca is ayahuasca illegal? Is there a 11 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: medicinal use for that? Anyway? That Aaron Rodgers dark room 12 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: joke at worked last segment didn't work at all there 13 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 1: eight three three four one two WXDX. We're also talking Penguins. 14 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: They're back in action tonight against the Devils at PPG 15 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: Paints Arena. You can go to the game or come 16 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: watch it with me at DJ's Lounge in Murraysville right 17 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: on the main drag There, got great food, got cores light. 18 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have my Flyer's fifty year shirt. It's gonna 19 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 1: have some le Mew Foundation hats to give away, so 20 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: do join me there. But I'd actually recommend going to 21 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: the game because everybody should be there to give Jack 22 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: Hughes a standing ovation. I wanted Send to win the 23 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: gold medal, but since he didn't play, I've warmed up 24 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: to what happened a great deal. Not gonna gloat, but 25 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: I think it's just a good thing. I think very 26 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: rarely in today's universe, the way the world is just 27 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: so left up and unfair, and what's unfair is created 28 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: by malice. But I think you can tell that the 29 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: u's kids are good kids, and especially Jack after having 30 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: scored that game winning goal, and you know, maybe good 31 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: things can still happen to good people. We played his 32 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: speech last night he gave on the ice at New Jersey. 33 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: His voice was cracking. He's just so legitimate and hockey 34 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: should make him their face and hockey's too dumb to 35 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: do so. And that's a real shame because it would 36 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: work big that kid. You can sell him. I don't 37 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: mean that in a cynical way. People want to buy him. 38 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: The train's moving. Everybody should jump on. Let's go to 39 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: Tom in Monroeville. Tom, you're on with double M. 40 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: Hey, you know the women's the women's team. 41 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 3: Like, in case they haven't noticed, you know, Trump won 42 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 3: in a mandate. 43 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: Woke is over? 44 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, goodbye, I noticed that. I don't want to talk 45 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: about that. So your call is over. What do you 46 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: think of that? Let's go to Matt in the Turnpike. Matt, 47 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: you're own with double. 48 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 3: M Hey, Mark about the whole Steelers great thing. Why 49 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 3: doesn't explore the opportunity of maybe buying the old VA 50 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 3: facility up there in Highland Park to build a stadium. 51 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: Up there that's not really on campus? Is that's not 52 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: really on campuses? No, no, no. If you're not going 53 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: to build a stadium on campus, you may as well 54 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: keep using acrosure. Although the point the players made in 55 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: that report card about the pit games taking a toll 56 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: on the surface is well is well taken. Yeah, but no, hey, hey, 57 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: Dave wants that there's no bigger pit guy than Dave 58 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: wants that correct. Dave wants that told me that pit 59 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: athletics were in a lot of trouble. Those might not 60 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: have been in exact words, but the minute they tore 61 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: down a football stadium, will put up a basketball court 62 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: because football drives the bus. Pitt's a small sports school 63 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: now anyway, Pitts a joke athletically, It's an absolute joke 64 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: athletically and probably educationally too. They just don't know what 65 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: they're doing. They're just like they don't know what they're 66 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: doing with the Steelers. Stupidity is contagious in this time 67 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: among the sports, except with Kyle Dubis traded Jari. Jari 68 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: leaked in five goals on twenty four shots last night, 69 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: got pulled. Edmonton picked up the whole ticket. He turned 70 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: it into Skinner Gerard and two second round draft picks. 71 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: Kyle Dubis, your genius. Your death therapy cured me, You 72 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: genius A three three four one two wxdx. Yeah, the 73 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: guy wanted to go all MAGA, calling the show the 74 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: radical left sucks, the radical rights sucks. And of all 75 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: you don't want to listen to my show because of that, 76 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: I'm giving you the finger right now. Doesn't matter to me. 77 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: We need to bring common sense back to everything in 78 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: this country, let alone sports eight three three four one 79 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: two wxdx. The number to call Steelers dead last their 80 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: report card the NFLPA. What do you guys think of that? 81 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: What do you guys think of that? You probably think 82 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: it don't mean nothing. It means something, means some of 83 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: those players. What about TJ. Watt voted If he voted 84 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: everything's bad, the Steelers should vote well. Us giving wat 85 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: all that money when he's in the decline, that was bad. 86 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: Let's all vote on that, right, one five ninety X. 87 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: It's story show weekday mornings at six. Good Mason is 88 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: always a component of any nice state. 89 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 4: Thank you for making my day. 90 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, what you said? The ex at one nine Regy 91 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: news is the Steelers finished dead last among all thirty 92 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: two NFL teams as per the yearly report card as 93 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: voted on by NFL players. It was supposed to be private, 94 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: but it got leaked ESPN God and I assumed directly 95 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: from the NFLPA. Yeah, the Steelers pulled up Latarski zero 96 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: point zero and we talked about the players think the 97 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: field sucks because they got too many games on in 98 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: high school and college. The players think the training facilities suck, 99 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: not modern enough, they don't get enough bathroom stalls, only 100 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: five for the entire team. But I did a lot 101 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: of research during the commercial break, and I found some 102 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: very specific complaints made by players TJ one and Cam 103 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: Hayward said there are inadequate tissues available both at Latrobe 104 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: on the South Side and an Acresshore when they cry 105 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: about something. Aaron Rodgers said he went to change his 106 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: depends at halftime and they were out of him a 107 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: couple times. Grandpa game manager Roman Wilson said the reason 108 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: he didn't get a helmet was because they literally ran 109 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: out of helmets. And not only are there not enough 110 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: bathroom stalls, but there won enough toilet paper either, So 111 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: sometimes the players had to use terrible towels, just like 112 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: their opponents do annually when they play the Steelers in 113 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: the playoffs. They wipe there you know what with it? 114 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: I could say, ass, why did I see you know what? Anyway, 115 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: these are the jokes people eight three three four one 116 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: two WXDX the number to call. We have Jesse Marshall 117 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: from the Athletic. He joins me at the bottom of 118 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: the hour to talk Penguins. Here's here's a legitimate quote. Well, no, 119 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: everything I just said I didn't make up. It actually happened, 120 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: was said written whatever. A couple of those jokes were 121 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: real good, and the bad ones set up the good ones. 122 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: I thought that literally running out of Helmets with Roman 123 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: Wilson was was pick of the litter. But this was 124 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: really said. Kevin Durant said, the NBA doesn't like African Americans. 125 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: Whenever I turned the NBA on, and I don't do 126 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: it a lot, but but doesn't like African Americans. That 127 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: just seems incorrect. Let's go to Don and Bethel Don. 128 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: You're on with double M. 129 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 2: What I what? 130 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: I mane Hey. 131 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, So the report card that came out, I just 132 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 3: find it very interesting the direct contrast that that all 133 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 3: those all those players have about their views about Mike 134 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 3: Tomlin as a coach versus the facilities. In other words, 135 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 3: thinking Tomlin was the greatest mind that that. 136 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not I'm not sure how you connect that 137 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: to this report card. I I do agree that the 138 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: players review year Tomlin to a degree that does not 139 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: match up to his coaching record. But he was a 140 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: player's coach. He was buddy buddy, And I think it 141 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 1: applies to the Steelers players, maybe even more so than 142 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: it does to the media locally but especially nationally, that 143 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: nobody wants to criticize football's pre eminent African American coach. 144 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 4: Yeah. 145 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 3: I just find it interesting that they ranked Tomlin in 146 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 3: such high regard, and then they ranked the facilities and 147 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 3: dead laugh. 148 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: I heard you the first time. I just don't see 149 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: the connection. Tell me what the connection is. 150 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 3: I think they're a bunch of divas. 151 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't see the connection, but thank you for 152 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: the call. I think there's obviously, with any pro athlete 153 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: an element of being a diva, and with guys like TJ. 154 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: Want and Cam Hayward more than most. But a lot 155 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: of teams rank their facilities and their owner and their 156 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: field good, like the Miami Dolphins, and when they suck, 157 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 1: they don't win, not even as much as the Steelers, 158 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: but they gave everything about their organization a good vote. 159 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: They finished first overall. The Steelers finished dad last. So 160 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if this has much to do with 161 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: the Steelers players being a diva or if the organization 162 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: does just suck. I think more that than them being 163 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: spoiled brats. And again I repeat, there's an element of 164 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: that with pretty much every professional athlete except hockey, which 165 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: has the best culture, but their culture comes under fire 166 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: because you can well again, what was the phrase I 167 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: used earlier, The soft bigotry of lowered expectations, doesn't apply 168 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: to hockey's culture. But yeah, I mean one thing that 169 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you've seen the field after like a Pit 170 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: game Saturday and a Steelers game Sunday. The stadium sucks. 171 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: The field sucks. And a part of that is because 172 00:10:55,160 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: their ground crew sucks. It's always sucked because it's always 173 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: buddy system. It's always who you know, it's relatives, it's 174 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: sons and nephews. When they moved over from three of 175 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: our stadium to what was then Heinz Field, initially the 176 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: same ground crew moved over, which makes zero sense because 177 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: that ground crew of three rivers took care of the 178 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: carpets and then had to take care of natural grass 179 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: at Heinz Field and did a terrible job. And you know, 180 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: I don't think any of those guys are still there. 181 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: But it's their kids, it's their nephews. They don't feel 182 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: they gotta work. I know how things worked on there. 183 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: Just because nobody else says it doesn't mean I don't know, 184 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: and doesn't mean it's not true. It's buddy system, it's nepotism. 185 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: The ground crew is obviously incompetent because the proof of 186 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: the pudding is in the eating, and that field is crap. 187 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: It's crap. You see it, you bitch about it, and 188 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: now you want them to get a good organizational report card. 189 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 1: I don't think so, Joel to play hopefully on a 190 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: better field than they have an acroshore.

Jesse. Obviously it's tough to replace Sid, 230 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: but I feel like his absence kind of reveals a 231 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: lack of organizational depth at center. There really aren't many 232 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: options to the point where they're moving a wing raquel 233 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: to center. Yeah. 234 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 7: I mean that's what made Ben Kendall such a huge win, right, Mark, 235 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 7: is that you you found something in the pipeline that 236 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 7: you could plug in immediately and get a benefit out 237 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 7: of that. You're right, there's there's an organizational lack of 238 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 7: depth at that position. I'm always Mark, I'm always a 239 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 7: guy that says you should draft best player available. But 240 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 7: it's getting to the point now where if Tubus and 241 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 7: west Clark, do you sit down at the table and 242 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 7: start circling some names by specific position and floating them 243 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 7: up the list a little bit, don't know, but you're right, 244 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 7: I mean, there's there's there's no cavalry that's coming anytime soon. 245 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 7: They got a lot of really good players in junior 246 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 7: right now. 247 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 4: That are center's Mark. 248 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 7: I talk a lot about Ryan Miller up in Portland, 249 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 7: kid they drafted last year on fire this season, great 250 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 7: two way players, exact kind of center you want. 251 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 4: That's that's like two and a half three years away, So. 252 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 7: You're not getting any benefit from that eight time soon 253 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 7: unless lightning strikes and he makes the team out of 254 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 7: camp next year. 255 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 4: So you're you're right. 256 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 7: I mean, this is it. You know, we'll see what 257 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 7: Raquel can do in that position. I'm excited to see 258 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 7: what happens with Ben Kendall. He's had a couple of 259 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 7: weeks off. That's huge for him. 260 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 4: Mark. 261 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 7: This schedule is completely different than it was in junior, 262 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 7: totally different. I know he's got to be dog tired, 263 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 7: so that I think this break's gonna come at the 264 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 7: perfect time for him because they're gonna have to increase 265 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 7: his time on ice two. 266 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: Can ra Quel moved from wing the center and what's 267 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: that entail? I'm worried about the defensive side of the puck. 268 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 7: I think it's gonna be a shift for him, Mark, 269 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 7: because the role he plays on that Crosby line is 270 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 7: he's doing a lot of digging right and it's a 271 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 7: lot of like other people have possession, and he's not 272 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 7: really the guy that's loading up on zone entries. He's 273 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 7: not coming across the blue line with possession. That's probably 274 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 7: gonna have to change now. I imagine he's gonna have 275 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 7: to do less digging and more puck carrying. I think 276 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 7: where I really worry about it is in the face 277 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 7: off circle mark. I think that's the part where when 278 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 7: you're eating those minutes, you're going up against usually a 279 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 7: specialist of some kind on the other side. 280 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 4: I don't know that that's going to go super well 281 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 4: for him. We'll see how it works, but. 282 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 7: I think the adjustment for him is he's gonna have 283 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 7: to peel off a little bit more. 284 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 4: He loves the ford check. He's good at it. He 285 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 4: loves being the first guy in and battling for pucks. 286 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 4: I think now you kind of. 287 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 7: Got to reel that in a little bit, let your 288 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 7: wings do some of that work, and be more of 289 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 7: a you know, a puck carrier and puck supporter through 290 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 7: the neutral zone. So I think situationally that's the change. 291 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 7: But look, we know we can do it right. He's 292 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 7: not a he doesn't carry the puck like a grenade. 293 00:16:58,400 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 7: So you know, I think this will be a good 294 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 7: oport honey for him. And you know, here's the thing. 295 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 7: I like Avery Hayes a lot. 296 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 4: Mark. I've been talking about Avery Hayes. 297 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 7: For a year and I love the role he's going 298 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 7: to play on this line because he can do that digging. 299 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 4: He's extremely fast, He's going to burst step. 300 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 7: That's what makes Avery Hayes deadly is that first two 301 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 7: three steps off a dead start in transition. 302 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 4: Whatever it is. 303 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 7: He can catch people by surprise, that's chasing pucks down, 304 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 7: that's playing d in the neutral zone, and he's a 305 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 7: quick thinker, and I think that's what makes him a 306 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 7: good fit for this live So I'm very excited to 307 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 7: see how that works. 308 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 4: Avery Hayes is going to be. 309 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 7: Running on adrenaline Mark where card Grukel can let him 310 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 7: do the dirty work worry about getting back in support 311 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 7: in the play. 312 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 1: Well, I agree with all that the center isn't always 313 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 1: F three on the four check, but is more often. 314 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: I think it's a challenge for Raquel to spot that 315 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: and also to do some of the man demand stuff 316 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: you have to pick up in the neutral zone. Would 317 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: you leave Gino a wing or would you be tempted 318 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: to move him back to center. It seems that Dan 319 00:17:58,480 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 1: Mwes is not. 320 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I like the Geno at the wing thing. Mark, 321 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 4: I didn't think I would. 322 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: I like Gino at wing. On that line, the whole 323 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: is so much greater than the sum of the parts. 324 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, And I think it's you know, when you've played 325 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 7: center for such a long time, right, it's difficult, I think, 326 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 7: to shift out of that mindset. But again, this is 327 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,959 Speaker 7: a fluid system, right, It's not. You're not always going 328 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 7: to be in the same position. Sometimes you have one, 329 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 7: sometimes you have three. But I think it's taken a 330 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 7: burden off of him defensively, if we're just being honest, right, 331 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 7: I don't ever want to say that if Guinea Malkin 332 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 7: was bad defensively, if Guinea Malkin likes to create offense, 333 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 7: and sometimes you do that by you know, trying to 334 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 7: springboard yourself, right, and I think you want your shooters 335 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,719 Speaker 7: to shoot. You get more freedom to do that off 336 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 7: the wall, now, Mark, right, like you're you're you're void 337 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 7: of responsibility. Being in the middle, it prevents you from 338 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 7: doing that sometimes. So I think it's. 339 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 4: Jump started him. 340 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 7: The data backs this up Mark As a wing, he's 341 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 7: getting a lot more opportunities to carry the puck in 342 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 7: his zone. His care in numbers over the course of 343 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 7: the last couple of games have just been through the roof. 344 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 7: I love that he's playing with confidence right now, he's 345 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 7: got that gallop back in his stack. Let him do 346 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 7: the work, you know, let him focus on on offense 347 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 7: and you know, look like you said that, it's just 348 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 7: working right now. Right there's a there's a dynamic between 349 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 7: every player on that line that makes it flush and 350 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 7: I wouldn't change that at all. 351 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, no question. And Gino on wing is in a 352 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: liability in the neutral zone, which at center I think 353 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: he had grown to be and that's not anything but aging. 354 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: He's thirty nine. But since he is thirty nine Jesse, 355 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 1: people expect him to pick it up with sit out 356 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,199 Speaker 1: and get more points because that's traditionally happened. I'm not 357 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: sure if you can expect more than what he's done, 358 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: which is already over a point per game. I think 359 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: it's unfair. 360 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 7: To one hundred percent agree with you, Yeah, one hundred 361 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 7: percent agree. I think that if he was not playing 362 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 7: at this clip, I'd probably ask for a little bit more, 363 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 7: but I think that a little bit more now Marcus 364 00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 7: to come from throughout the lineup. 365 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 4: They've they've had good depth. 366 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 7: Over the course of the last couple of weeks before 367 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 7: the Olympic break, they were getting scoring contributions from throughout. 368 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 4: That's going to have to continue, you know. 369 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 7: Brian Russ today basically said, I'm putting it on myself, right. 370 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 7: I think he's looking for every opportunity that he can 371 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 7: to prove that he wants to be here and you know, 372 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 7: make an impact. We've hear him talk about it all 373 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 7: year and in the room today, you know, to my 374 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 7: buddy Josh Ooh, he's you know, very very honest and saying, look, 375 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,479 Speaker 7: you know, we're kind of ready to get get on 376 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 7: with it and get this monkey offer back and prove 377 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:30,719 Speaker 7: the people we can do it. 378 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: Would you be tempted to put kindle between rust and Raquel? 379 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: I know the trickle down would be difficult to sort out, 380 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: but I certainly would be. 381 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 7: I think if if it proves a need Mark, yeah, 382 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 7: I mean I think if that oh. 383 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: No, no, not not tonight, I'm talking about it. If 384 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: if Ricky Rax just looks out of kilter and center. 385 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 7: Oh sure, yeah, I would even say, Mark, if the 386 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 7: Avery Hayes experiment doesn't work out, I'd be tempted to 387 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:56,479 Speaker 7: do it. 388 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 4: Yeah. 389 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 7: Yeah, you look, you have to have juice on the 390 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 7: top line. I mean, that's the end of the day. 391 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 7: That's you're going best for best, right. I mean, Dan 392 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 7: Mwes is gonna is going to want to be able 393 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 7: to lean on his top line. And I think if 394 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 7: Kel shows himself to be deficient in any one area 395 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 7: that's certainly glaring, I wouldn't expect him to be hesitant 396 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 7: to pull the trigger on something like that. I don't 397 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 7: get the sense that he's married the way he has 398 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 7: it right now, and I think that's a good thing. 399 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 1: We're talking to Jesse Marshall of the Athletic here on 400 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,719 Speaker 1: the Mark Madden Show, Home of the Penguins one oh 401 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: five ninety X. Now, everybody invents trades, uh when the 402 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: need arises. And you know, we've heard about Jason Roberts, 403 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: and I was guilty of pushing that narrative. Even though 404 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 1: they're just not going to trade him this year. Dallas 405 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 1: is a legitimate contender. They'll figure out what to do 406 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: with him at season's end when he's a restricted free agent. 407 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: But I would be tempted if I could the trade 408 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: Stewart Skinner because I think there would be some demand 409 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 1: if you could get just like a third line center 410 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: and then summon morishoff. I think that would be a 411 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: gamble worth taking, given how he's played in the American League. 412 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 4: What say you another shutout this weekend? Mark? And I think, 413 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 4: tangibly speaking, I think this is what makes me agree 414 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 4: with you. 415 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 7: I mean, you look at Sergei Marshav a year ago, 416 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 7: and you look at him now. You see a more 417 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 7: patient goaltender who is creating less self destructive situations right 418 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 7: Like his. 419 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 4: Rebound control was just irresponsible when he got here. 420 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 7: I don't think anyone ever really worked with him on 421 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 7: it before, and it caused him. He'd make great saves 422 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 7: more than he's putting himself in these bad situations. He 423 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 7: has to make a follow up save and then a 424 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 7: third save, and he's athletic enough that he can get 425 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 7: away with it. 426 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 4: But I think you've seen those calm down. You see 427 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 4: him freeze the pluck more. 428 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 7: Now he's less likely to go out and try to 429 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 7: make a wild play on it, like he understands that 430 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 7: he's so good that if he controls the tempo, that 431 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 7: he's fine, and I think that's that's what you've wanted, right, 432 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 7: I don't know that there's a lot left. I mean, 433 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 7: I'm always the guy that's gonna tell you to let 434 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 7: the goalie marinate. I just don't know how much left 435 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 7: there is to marinate here. And look, Stuart Skinner has 436 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 7: been there. That's just the reality of this situation. Because 437 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 7: numbers in Pittsburgh have been fine. I think that's the 438 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 7: word I would use to categorize the n asthma there's 439 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 7: But he's been a part of some really unfortunate defensive 440 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 7: performances where things went south and tanked him with like 441 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 7: an eight to ten saves percentage. But I'd certainly take 442 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 7: his performance over Tristan Jari's right now, Mark who was 443 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 7: floundering at about eight sixty at Edmonton and is already 444 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 7: getting the curtain. 445 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 4: Call on him. 446 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: So you know, yeah, what about that? There's a there's 447 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 1: a report that Edmonton might try to trade for Bidnington. 448 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: What a feather that would be in Dupis's cap that 449 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 1: he got so much back without keeping any of Jari's salary, 450 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: and it's not working in Edmonton. To the point where 451 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: they're already looking for an alternative mark. 452 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 7: We both to each other said not long ago that 453 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 7: contract was untradable. He turned it into Stuart Skinner two 454 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 7: second round picks and Sam Girard. That doesn't make any sense. 455 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 7: I don't know how he did. It's just mind bloggling me. 456 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 7: You take advantage of colorade. They have a cap casualty. 457 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 7: Edmonton's just desperate, h you know, and it's it's a 458 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 7: masterclass in my opinion. So yeah, I mean, that's that's crazy. 459 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 7: It's it's not gone well up there. But they look 460 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 7: like you said, they need a center, right, and then 461 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,719 Speaker 7: they're obviously not married in my opinion. To Stuart Skinner, 462 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,199 Speaker 7: noting the fact that you've got adequate performances out of 463 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 7: she Lovsh's performing basically right to about what you'd expect 464 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 7: from him. And this wonderkin down in the American Hockey 465 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 7: League who's just sleepwalking through his performances. 466 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: Uh, how much is on Lakang and Carlson to do more? 467 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: Cause it's it's a fine line. I don't want them 468 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: to play hero ball, you know, feel put upon to 469 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: that degree, but they are going to have the puck more. 470 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 4: I want them to play hockey. 471 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 7: That's not inviting of a disaster, right like that, that's it. 472 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 4: I think they can take chances. 473 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 7: I think, you know, get pinched in the offensive zone, 474 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 7: right like, rotate with your teammates. But like you said, 475 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 7: it's the hope plays as I them or I'm hoping 476 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 7: this is going to work out in my favor. I've 477 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 7: realistically got a thirty five percent chance at winning this puck. 478 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 4: But if I get it, I'm a hero. 479 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 7: That's not necessary, right, I think the focus has to 480 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 7: be keeping things. 481 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 4: Calm in the defensive end. First, safely, outlet the puck. 482 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 7: When you get in an offensive zone, you established possession, 483 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 7: then do your pinching. That's what I love about Dan 484 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 7: mews Mark. That to me, has been the message from 485 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 7: him from day one. I'm not removing your license to 486 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 7: take chances. I'm shifting it forward those you know dive 487 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 7: bomb hope plays in the neutral zone where you're whacking 488 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 7: a stick at somebody and you know you got ten 489 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 7: percent chance not going to free in your odd man rush. 490 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 7: The other way, that was all year last year. I 491 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 7: mean they were hemorrhaging odd man breaks. How many of 492 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 7: those you get a night now, Mark one two. Right, 493 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 7: maybe they're bad line change. It's not a systemic issue, right, 494 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 7: it's it's not a programmatic flaw. And I think that 495 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 7: if it could just keep that focus at what happens 496 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 7: north of the offensive blue line, they're gonna be fine. 497 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 4: Take your chances there. That's where you're that's where you're 498 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 4: best served. 499 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 7: To shoot, you know, don't clog up the neutral zone 500 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 7: and make a mess of it by trying these home 501 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 7: run plays. If they can just stay away from that, 502 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 7: they'll be fine. I am concerned Mark about this Latang 503 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 7: Gerard pairing, just in the sense that sometimes they like 504 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 7: to do the same things. 505 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: Gerard likes sabrine, so did Latang and Qulak to some degree, 506 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: and that seemed to coalesce fairly well. 507 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I think this is part of Gerard's 508 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 7: identity though right where. 509 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 4: I think that's something that Koulak was willing to do. 510 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 7: I think for Gerard he bases this is riz games 511 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 7: based on right, his possession skating up ice. There's only 512 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 7: one puck, right, So but you have to also pick 513 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 7: where Parker Wertherspoon goes, Mark, because in my mind he's 514 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 7: the babysitter. So pick your defense and with the most 515 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 7: risk staple wertherspoon there and let the rest figure itself out. 516 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,719 Speaker 1: Uh. How crucial is the early going. 517 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 4: Uh. 518 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 1: They play two teams that are out of the playoff 519 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: race in New Jersey tonight and at the Saturday. I 520 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 1: think if you lose to teams like that coming out 521 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 1: of the gate without SID then a bad reality sinks in. 522 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: I think you can fool yourself if you beat these 523 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: two teams and keep that adrenaline going. 524 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. 525 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 7: I mean the reality of this run is you have 526 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 7: three games here over the course of this month where 527 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 7: you're playing a non playoff opponent. 528 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 4: You have to maximize those opportunities. Those are the points 529 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 4: you have. 530 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 7: To get so you can create a buffer zone and 531 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 7: get for yourself where maybe you drop one later against 532 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 7: the playoff team like the Islanders, it's not so hurtful 533 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 7: anymore because you gathered the points you should gather. Yeah, 534 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,199 Speaker 7: just don't create undue pressure at the onset of the 535 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 7: trip and start things off on a bad note. 536 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 4: These are points that you're going to be expected to get. 537 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 7: If you get them again, you give yourself a little 538 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 7: bit of leeway later on. This team has been involved 539 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 7: in more overtime and shootout games than you could possibly imagine, 540 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 7: So I think, you know, that's got to be the 541 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 7: focus here is noting that you've been in a lot 542 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 7: of three point games. You got to get to where 543 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 7: you can because these three pointers are going to start 544 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 7: stacking against you sooner or later. 545 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: I feel like they can hang on. That might be 546 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: just optimism, and you know, me being a lifelong supporter, 547 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: but I see enough good I see a good coach 548 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 1: who will keep things on keel. I see good enough goaltending. 549 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: You know, whether it's more shoff skinner shilloffs, whoever. I 550 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: still am worried that the points they invariably lose in 551 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 1: shootouts might be too much, But I see it legitimate 552 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 1: chance to get through this, don't you. 553 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 4: I do there's a path forward here. 554 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 7: I don't think that you'd be you'd be insane to 555 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 7: say Sydney croarkn are important to this team. I mean mad, 556 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 7: But you know, I think that they have depth. For 557 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 7: the first time in a long time, they have four 558 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 7: deployable lines mark each one has utility, and I think 559 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 7: that at times towards you in a Sullivan's tenure, there 560 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 7: was this reticence to put the force line out at 561 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 7: all because it was a liability and it was hemorrhaging goals. 562 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 7: You've gotten completely away from that. The culture feels different. 563 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 7: You hear the verbiage out of the room is different. 564 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 7: And I think dan Us has created this aura of 565 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 7: accountability and you play well, you get more ice time, 566 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 7: and people like that. They respect that, and I the 567 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 7: use has been important and I can't stress enough. You know, 568 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 7: this time off for Kindle, you know, Avery Hayes coming 569 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 7: up at the right time. That's gonna give them some juice. 570 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 7: And I think it's gonna give them some some fresh legs. 571 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 7: And I think that those guys are gonna be super 572 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 7: important to this run. And if they can stay hot. 573 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 7: Mark Avery Hayes is scoring over a goal game in 574 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 7: his last dozen games. I mean, he's just on fire 575 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 7: right now. He took that Olympic break personally kind of 576 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 7: felt that it robbed him of an opportunity. I think 577 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 7: because he went back to the American Hogey League and 578 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 7: was just absolutely on fire. So I'm looking forward to 579 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 7: his performance tonight. I think there's good stuff to come 580 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 7: from him. And you know, I think that that this 581 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 7: is so much more of a dynamic team than it's 582 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 7: been in the past. Mark, That's that's what you really 583 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 7: lean on here, is that they have they're not They're 584 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 7: not stale anymore. You know, you get this sense there's 585 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 7: exciting things happening. The coach has he's not reinvented the wheel, 586 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 7: but he's brought new flavors into the neutral zone. I 587 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 7: think it worked really well, so I don't think they're 588 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 7: dead the rights at all. 589 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: Jesse. Somebody stole your Twitter. You got a new one. 590 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: Tell us about it, and you're trying to get it back. 591 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: It took me like about seven weeks, but I eventually 592 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: got mine back. 593 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 7: I did hear from X today, Mark, which is good news.

It's a little selfish to 654 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: say that. I think I would have enjoyed the experience. 655 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: I think it'd be a good father. But I wish 656 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: I had kids.

I proved that I 662 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: I've had more influence on the kids I coached in 663 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: hockey than some of their parents did, and. 664 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 2: Maybe they'd be a super genius like yourself. 665 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:09,359 Speaker 1: I'd probably marry some dummy or pro create. Anyway. Let's 666 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: go to Seth and Harmer. Seth ask mark anything. 667 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 2: Good day, sir. 668 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 9: Just wanted to see if what you thought of the 669 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 9: Rock Hall nominees for this coming year and if you 670 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 9: vote on that. 671 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: I don't vote on it. I mean I mean you 672 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 1: mean like a fan vote. Yeah, No, I'm not concerned. 673 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 1: I think the whole thing's a joke. I think most 674 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: Halls of Fame were joke. I mean I think some 675 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: groups having waited forever, like Foreigner when they were the 676 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: biggest band in the world for like four years, and 677 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: uh like like White Snake should be in they were 678 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,359 Speaker 1: the biggest band for about eighteen months. I mean, how 679 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: is White Snake not in the B fifty two s? Are? 680 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:49,800 Speaker 2: What? 681 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: Because they did rock Lobster and did they? I mean, 682 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,919 Speaker 1: you know, it just it's it's not the who said 683 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: that on the show just the other day. It's not 684 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:03,240 Speaker 1: the Rock Hall of Fame, the Yon Venner rolling Stone 685 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, and I just I mean I go 686 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: and see the memorabilia when I'm up in Cleveland, but 687 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 1: I don't take who's in it and not very seriously. 688 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: How is d O not in it? How is d 689 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: O not in it? 690 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 2: Yeah? 691 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 9: I mean I think the big one this year was 692 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 9: probably Iron Maiden. Phil Collins definitely the big name. But 693 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 9: I mean he's in there for Genesis, So I think 694 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:25,879 Speaker 9: it's the solo world. 695 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,240 Speaker 1: I just I just don't care. So let's go to Newman, 696 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: Hello Newman. 697 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 2: Hello Jay. Do you think that the Rooneys will eventually 698 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 2: use these consistently poor facility ratings to pressure the city 699 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 2: into paying for improvements. 700 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 1: Well, I hope the city says no. I mean, but 701 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:48,879 Speaker 1: they are due for x amount of spending other people's money, 702 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,360 Speaker 1: as pro sports teams do. The Rooneyes certainly are not 703 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 1: unique in that regard. But I would hope that the 704 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,280 Speaker 1: Art would blame the bad facilities on anybody but himself. 705 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: Then again, I think Art's utterly clueless, doesn't know what 706 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: he's doing, and isn't really very self aware either. 707 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it kind of feels like it could 708 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 2: be a bit of a perfect storm with you know, 709 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 2: now this is two straight bottom of the league ratings, 710 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 2: plus you got the draft coming. 711 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 1: Well, I think this is the first time they finished 712 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 1: they finished bottom of the league overall, they finished it. 713 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 2: I thought I heard it was the second time. 714 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: No, they finished twenty eighth last year. 715 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 2: But I see. 716 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: But then again, somebody brought up a good point before, however, 717 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: inadvertently Newman. Maybe the players here are just divas more 718 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: than elsewhere. I mean, look at Cam and TJ. How 719 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,840 Speaker 1: they whine and they have nothing at all to whine about, 720 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,240 Speaker 1: not really, not as much as we have the whine 721 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 1: about them disappearing in the playoffs. By the way, you 722 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,800 Speaker 1: did you hear my series of jokes before about the 723 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:54,439 Speaker 1: uh about the survey? I did? What was the best jokes? 724 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 1: I thought the best joke was they don't give Roman 725 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,320 Speaker 1: Wilson a helmet because they don't have enough helmets. 726 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 2: I like the tissues. 727 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, Roman. I mean, plus, you can 728 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,839 Speaker 1: never have enough tissues. Believe I've said too much. Let's 729 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,839 Speaker 1: go to Jan and Cranberry. Hello, Jan, Hi. 730 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:13,359 Speaker 4: There, Mark. 731 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 3: I heard the other day that you said that the 732 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 3: get Up Show was one of your guilty pleasures. 733 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,280 Speaker 1: Well, no, it's not a guilty pleasure. I just happened 734 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 1: to be on the treadmill generally at that time in 735 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,399 Speaker 1: the morning, and I have the TV right in front 736 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: of my face, and if I can't find anything else 737 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: to watch, I generally just put that on by default. 738 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:36,839 Speaker 1: And I think of the three midday shows, I think 739 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 1: it's the best, which is to say it's not the worst. 740 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,800 Speaker 1: I think Pat is just undescribably bad, and Stephen A. 741 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,879 Speaker 1: Smith is also undescribably bad, i'lbeit for different reasons. Those 742 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 1: two shows. 743 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 4: Well, I wondered how how you like Peter's a swagger 744 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 4: as a Schwegger whatever. 745 00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 3: As a guest host. 746 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,839 Speaker 1: To me, he's a okay, I think like Schreger, they're 747 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: football guys. Like Schreger, the non ex players, I think 748 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 1: like Schreger and Schefter and Graziana were just interchangeable. It's 749 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 1: like they came out of the same womb. 750 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,840 Speaker 4: Yes, I like when. 751 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,239 Speaker 2: The old number twenty five is on there. 752 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,319 Speaker 1: Ryan Clark, Ryan Clark, he used to be good, Now 753 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,839 Speaker 1: he's bad. Thank you for the call. By the way, 754 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,800 Speaker 1: nothing has ever been more ESPN than today. Dan Orlowski 755 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 1: was wearing the USA Hockey jersey and they didn't talk 756 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 1: about hockey at all, not one bit. That was just 757 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:45,399 Speaker 1: so so so so. ESPN barely talked about football all week, 758 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,840 Speaker 1: and it's been a better show because of it. With 759 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,799 Speaker 1: Ava McNaughton, I mean, now there's news with this report card, 760 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: but you gotta wait for news. You can't just keep 761 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 1: recycling Aaron Rodgers talk. Although the one guy on their 762 00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 1: station said, it's our duty to talk about the greatest 763 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 1: quarterback ever. Maybe coming back to the Steelers. Yeah, he 764 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,280 Speaker 1: used to be Now it's Grandpa game manager. And nothing 765 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 1: has ever been more boring than waiting for Aaron Rodgers 766 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 1: to decide given his pathetic state of game, not least 767 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 1: now a second year in a row.
