1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: So I want your thoughts on Olympic hockey. I want

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: your thoughts on should the Steelers draft Tye Simpson. I

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: want your thoughts on should the Pirates start the season

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: with Connor Griffin a short stop. I think the last

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: topic is the most interesting because I think the Pirates

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: right now, and I know you all think they're going

7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: to finish five hundred and conten for a playoff spot

8
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: right now, their team as is, I don't think they are.

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: I think they're like a seventy seven ish win team

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 1: because the bottom third of their order stinks. There's some

11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: lefty righty stuff that could sabotage the six good hitters.

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 1: The six good hitters can't literally play every game anyway,

13
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: and you're still short of starting pitcher and ain't got

14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,639
Speaker 1: no lefty. So I think the Pirates right now are

15
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: like a seventy seven win team and that's it best.

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: And I think Connor Griffin is an educated risk you

17
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: can take to try to jump up. And I know

18
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: he's never even played Triple A, only got ninety some

19
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: odd at Batch A Double A. But if you would

20
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: fail and have to go to Triple A, I don't

21
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: think it would ruin him. He's too good to be

22
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: ruined that easily. And I think if they don't give

23
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: it a try, they're gonna not make the playoffs period

24
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: and not go five hundred period. So your thoughts in

25
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: any of her all of that A three three four

26
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: one two WSDX. You look at the team and I

27
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: think you think it's improved a lot more than it

28
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: really has. I think you think it's improved a lot

29
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: more than it really has.

30
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: Uh.

31
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: Getting back to the Olympic hockey, I've not been the

32
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: impressed so far. We keep saying best versus best, but

33
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: it ain't been so best to this point. The good

34
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: teams ain't played each other, which I get. It's it

35
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: was the group phase up until tomorrow. The only really

36
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: marquee matchup with swed against Finland. The only surprise team

37
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: is Slovakia. It starts starts getting a little bit greasy

38
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: in the quarters, well really in the elimination on tomorrow.

39
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: I've been saying that I'm assuming Sweden's going to beat Latvia,

40
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: but there ain't no party like an RDI party. Maybe

41
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: Shiloffs can stand on his head because he appears to

42
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: have usurped the number one goaltending job for Latvia from

43
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: Elvis murz Lickens, and I don't think Latvia could beat Sweden,

44
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: but you never know because Sweden just ain't got going yet.

45
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: US look good against Germany yesterday. That's the best game

46
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: so far for the US. I think Austin Matthews got

47
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: those two goals. He looks engaged. But I think Canon

48
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: is a juggernaut when shot me. If they didn't have

49
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: a close game, I would use McDavid McKinnon and Celebrina together.

50
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: But that's a part of a good point that Iclon

51
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: Kachuck's line would have a chance to stay with them physically.

52
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: And you know they're not slow either, So there are

53
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: some matchup games that Sullivan could play on behalf of

54
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: the US. Just a lot intriguing about the tournament moving forward,

55
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: but not really so far.

56
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 3: You know, it looks really good to me for the US.

57
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: Is Tage Thompson, the big kid from Buffalo looks really

58
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: good And today in the US women's semifinals, I can't

59
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: figure out how they played Sweden in the semis when

60
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: both finished top of the group.

61
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 3: Nobody's been able to explain that to me.

62
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: But the US wipet Sweden five nil and they'll wipe

63
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: out candidate in the gold medal game on Thursday. Let's

64
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: go to Dave from Bethel Park. Dave, you're on with double.

65
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 4: M hi Mark. How you doing good?

66
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 5: Dave?

67
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 4: Good? So jumping forward to Connor Gritton, I think what

68
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 4: people are forgetting to your point about the long term

69
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 4: being new year coming up is we were the third

70
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 4: worst team in MLB last year and that's a big

71
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 4: jump to get to even five hundred. So I think

72
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 4: that's a tough call.

73
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they've improved. They've improved with three pretty good bats.

74
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: You know, Bubba Channer will be here all year. Skiings

75
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: should be just as good as last year, you would think.

76
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: But mostly I agree with you. I don't think. I

77
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: think Pirate fans, and certainly the fans who covered the

78
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: team for the media even more so, they have trouble

79
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: seeing the Pirates as they really are. And I think

80
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: the Pirates have improved, but not to even be a

81
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: five hundred team. I mean they got o'hearne, Ozuna and Law,

82
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: not Ruth, Gerrig and Cobb. I think they're still not

83
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: a five hundred team, and honestly, I don't think they're

84
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: that close to a five hundred team.

85
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 4: I hear you just real quick on I mean Wolf,

86
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 4: he was so positive, and I think it was a slight.

87
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 3: No, no, no, it's not a slight. Is when you

88
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: just blow it off. I think it was an oversight.

89
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 4: I say, okay, I say you're right there.

90
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: I agree that no, nobody would nobody ever bore any

91
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: ill will or malice toward Wolf. But I wish they

92
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: had gotten it right. They did not get it right,

93
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: and again I don't think it was intentional, but it

94
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: still gets me pissed. Thank you for the call. All Right,

95
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: we got Philip Bork talking Olympic hockey at the bottom

96
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: of the hour. Should the Pirates start the season with

97
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: Connor Griffin and short stop?

98
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 3: I'm not worried about the service clock.

99
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: It's a long last time to not give up screw

100
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: about stuff like that. It's time, at long last to

101
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: do everything you can from opening day to try to

102
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Because that's what they've been selling us, right,

103
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: that they're close to a playoff spot. Well, then take

104
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: the educated risk necessary and start the season with Griffin

105
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: at shortstop.

106
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 3: I think he can do it. One five nine X.

107
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: It's Travis any nice day.

108
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 5: Thank you for making my day.

109
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, what you said?

110
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: The exit.

111
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 3: Get calls in now for calls on the fifteens.

112
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: It's kind of a dead day President's Day, and then again,

113
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: most presidents are dead. I'd like to get me some

114
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: dead presidents. Uh, listen to this. Oh the number is

115
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: eight three three, four to one two WSDX. I can't

116
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: believe I had to find this on secondhand. I'm gonna

117
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: text my girl in a minute here, but Charlotte Flair

118
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: is reportedly dating Pooka Nakua, the Rams wide out, who

119
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: is fifteen years younger than her. You cradle robber you,

120
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: I'll be texting her momentarily. Wow, we got Philip Board

121
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: talking hockey at the bottom of the hour.

122
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 3: Let's get back to the basics, though.

123
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: Would you start the season with Connor Griffin is shorter

124
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: for the Pirates? Would you draft Ty Simpson if you're

125
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: the Steelers? That's pretty meat and potatoes sports talkie, but

126
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: never hurts to go back to the basics. How about this?

127
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: Speaking of WWE, bad Bunny versus Logan, Paul is rumored

128
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: to be an upcoming WWE matter to one of their

129
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: big events. Is it too soon to put it together

130
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: for WrestleMania, that would be the time to do it

131
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: because it's just throughud the corner and that match would

132
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: recreate the vibe and the polarization and all the kind

133
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: of bitter hype that was around the Bad Bunny halftime

134
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: show at the Super Bowl.

135
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 3: That match would just be huge. What would Logan Paul

136
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: be in?

137
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: This social media influencer hundreds of thousands of followers on

138
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,239
Speaker 1: his various platforms, and he kind of took a couple

139
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: of shots and interviews with Bad Bunny. So if they're

140
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: setting it up, I mean it would be money. It

141
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: would for sure be money. Yarma Yoager turned fifty three

142
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: over the weekend, Happy Birthday Eggs, and still somehow is

143
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: not in the Hockey Hall of Fame because of a technicality,

144
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: the retirement thing.

145
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: What is it? Three years?

146
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: Five years and they won't put him in because he

147
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: still plays small time. I'm pro hockey and check. Still,

148
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: every Hall of Fame is stupid. They come up with

149
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: different ways to be stupid, but every Hall of Fame

150
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: is stupid. Here's a couple of weirdo things. You know

151
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: those NFL report cards where the organizations are rated by

152
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: the players through the Players Association. You know, the franchises,

153
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: the Steelers always grayed out very low stuff like facilities,

154
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: treating the families, ownership, et cetera. Well, the NFL want

155
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: a suit to keep those results, those report cards from

156
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: being revealed publicly. The NFLPA, it's said, violated the CBA

157
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: by doing so.

158
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 3: That's okay.

159
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: We know already that the Steelers franchise is a myth,

160
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: both on the field and behind the scenes, and has

161
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: been for quite some time.

162
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: In that vein.

163
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: You know how they're using the appeal process for balls

164
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: and strikes in the In MLB you only get a.

165
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: Few appeals, but you can appeal ball and strike calls. Well, the.

166
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: Thing that inspired at the graphic on TV where you

167
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: see the balls and strikes with that graphic, they're not

168
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: going to show that on TV anymore. Why in the

169
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: blue hell would they not show that on TV anymore.

170
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's going to be not crying

171
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: they get it back. I mean it made more sense

172
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 1: to do it to hide it when they showed it,

173
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: because then you're covering up all the umpire's mistakes. Now

174
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: the mistakes can be appealed. I just don't see the point,

175
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: you know the teams are going to have access to it.

176
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: So again, it's just weird. Everything's just weird. The Miami

177
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: Dolphins cut Bradley Chubb, the edge rusher. He had eight

178
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: and a half sacks this past year after having undergone

179
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: a big TIMEEE surgery before that. Eight and a half

180
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: sacks is a sack. Canna have more than what had

181
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: last year. And Bradley Chubb is younger than WAT. But

182
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: Bradley Chubb got cut, and Wat's gonna get paid forty

183
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 1: one million. Remember what I said moments ago about the

184
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: Steelers franchise being a myth. Whoomp, there it is, And

185
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: the Dolphins cut Tyreek kill uh, and the Steelers are

186
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: second favorite in the betting odds to.

187
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: Get him.

188
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happen. I don't think it

189
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: should either, either. Though the Steelers really need a number

190
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: one wide receiver. I think Kills a little past it

191
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: in that regard, and I don't think Rogers's arm is

192
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 1: good enough any more to properly use Tyreek killspeed. But

193
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 1: right now I want to tell you about bet parks,

Speaker 1: talk about it. He's represented the USA in the past.

224
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: You hear him on Penguin Games Radio TV. He's a

225
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: two time Stanley Cup champion. Always a pleasure to talk

226
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: to the old two niner Phil bork Borkie. It feels

227
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: like the games ain't really gotten going yet in hockey,

228
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: doesn't it? Because the one more key matchup with Sweden

229
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: and Finland. I don't feel like the US and Canada

230
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: has really played any by yet.

231
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: Well, good afternoon, double M.

232
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 5: Good to be on with you and I get that

233
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 5: feeling also, yeah, that it's uh, you don't really feel

234
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 5: like the pot has been stirred as much as you

235
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 5: would like. But I think when you get to single

236
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 5: elimination uh and it's winner go home, I think that's

237
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 5: when it's gonna get real. And this is where you're

238
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 5: gonna get the upsets, you know, this is where you're

239
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 5: gonna get one team that that maybe just exhales a

240
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 5: little bit and feels like they're dominant team and they

241
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 5: can just throw their sticks out there and win the

242
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 5: hockey game, and they catch a hot goalie and that's it.

243
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 5: They're on a flight back to uh across the pond.

244
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 5: So I did I don't know if you caught it

245
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 5: or not. I did enjoy Matthew Kachuck's tripping Leon dry

246
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 5: Soon with the Oh my goodness, that was so good.

247
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 5: And even if I don't know if you caught this also,

248
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 5: but uh, little brother, that's not so little. Uh Brady

249
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 5: Kuchuck was just going into the bench and he he

250
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 5: just had one of those chuckles that it was kind

251
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 5: of like the Peanut Gallery chuckle.

252
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: Like.

253
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 5: Man, even I've heard a lot from my brother, but

254
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 5: even that's a good one.

255
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: Now you mentioned the goaltending. Is there a hot goldie

256
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: in this tournament. I'm not sure there is. I'm not

257
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: sure ones played great in this tournament, and I'm not

258
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: sure any came into the tournament exceptionally hot.

259
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 5: I concur no, there isn't one. And but that's what

260
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 5: makes it scary to me. It makes it scary because

261
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 5: you know, it could be arr she Loss. I mean,

262
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 5: it could be it could be Benefits, it could be Hellibuck.

263
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 5: I think Hellabuck, who probably came in maybe the shakiest

264
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 5: of the goaltenders that you would expect not to be Heck,

265
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 5: he won the Heart and the Venna last year. He

266
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 5: seems to be heating up, and I was just watching

267
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 5: his body language in the last game. I was like, oh,

268
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 5: I've seen that before, and so that would worry me

269
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 5: if I'm some of the other teams, whether you're Sweden

270
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 5: or Latia, and that's the next who's up for the

271
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 5: the Penguins up for UFA. If Hellibuck gets gets toasty

272
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 5: and starts playing big like he can, uh, that's gonna

273
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 5: be a problem for anybody facing the United States.

274
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny you mentioned Archer Shiloff, who appears

275
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: to have rested the number one job away from mers

276
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: Lickens in the Latvian Net, and they haven't said, but

277
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: I expect he's going to play tomorrow against Sweden. If

278
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: I'm Eric Carlson, the Swedes, I mean, the Swedes are

279
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: the better team, but they've never really got going yet.

280
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: Bor Kian, I'd be worried about facing Artie.

281
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 3: I agree.

282
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 5: No, you're right in the Swedes, they just don't see themselves.

283
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 5: And you asked me who I thought was going to

284
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 5: be in the final group, and I actually picked the

285
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 5: Swedes to win it all, to beat the USA. But

286
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 5: they I don't know. There's something missing with the Swedes.

287
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 5: And maybe part of it is, to get back to

288
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 5: what he just touched on, they don't have a number

289
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 5: one goaltender. I don't even know who the goaltender is

290
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 5: going to be tomorrow against Latvia for Sweden. Is it

291
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 5: going to be Guts the Finn? Is it going to

292
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 5: be Mark Strom? I'm not sure, and I'm not I'm

293
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 5: not jumping up and down. It's either one of those

294
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 5: guys are in if I'm part of the what they

295
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 5: call the Trey Crona the three Crowns. But you're right,

296
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 5: Arthur Schiloffs.

297
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: He's listen.

298
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 5: We know who Elvis vers Lincolns is. He's got the

299
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 5: ability to be a really good goal cunder. He's getting

300
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 5: paid like a number one goaltender for the Columbus Blue Jackets,

301
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 5: but he's got this kind of this wild card streak

302
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 5: in him where he goes right off the rails. Number one,

303
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 5: he played tried to play the punk way way too much.

304
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 5: He's not that good at it. He almost it's almost

305
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 5: like he's bored playing the goaltender position and he wants

306
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 5: to be a defenseerman that over handle the puck. And

307
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 5: number two, he's guaranteed to let in a saftie and

308
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 5: in this type of tournament, you let in a softie,

309
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 5: you're probably going home.

310
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 3: What do you make of Canada's lineup?

311
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: Would you play McDavid, McKinnon and celebraty together or would

312
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: you use with Dave other wise done, which is Tom

313
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: Wilson with McDavid and Celebrini and then mckinna at center.

314
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 5: No, I would not keep Tom Wilson up there, but

315
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 5: I will say you mentioned Celebrini. Wow, this kid is

316
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 5: the real deal. I mean, it's it's unbelievable the giant

317
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 5: steps that he's taken, uh in such a short time.

318
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 2: It really is.

319
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 5: Because you know, I don't know about you, Mark, but

320
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,239
Speaker 5: I kind of was comparing him to Connobdard. But I

321
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 5: think Celbrini is is a much more complete player. I

322
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 5: think that he's he's figured things out.

323
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 3: Definitely, would you agree.

324
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's figured things out, and that's not taking Connor.

325
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 5: Bdard is an amazing hockey player, he really is. But

326
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 5: I'm not going to put him up in the upper

327
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 5: echelon where maybe Celebrini isn't there either. But he's definitely

328
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 5: taken one step in front of another and is on

329
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 5: his way there. But I would definitely and and this

330
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 5: is kind of like a mi solvent thing, but I'm

331
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 5: all about the duos too, where I really like having

332
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 5: made d was celebrating, and I would keep them together.

333
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 5: And if it's if it's McKinnon that you're putting up

334
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 5: there too, that might be the way to go.

335
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, But Edze came up with an idea for Sally

336
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: if it comes to that. He thinks Chelin the Kachucks

337
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: might be pretty effective playing against that loaded McDavid line

338
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: because obviously they can attack, and even more obviously they're

339
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: big and gritty.

340
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's that's where the Rubber's gonna hit the

341
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 5: road right there. That's the marquee matchup, is that line

342
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,479
Speaker 5: against and Jack Eichel boys. Jack Michael become a player,

343
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 5: hasn't he. I Mean we remember him in Buffalo and

344
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 5: you kind of thought, okay, well, good player, bad team,

345
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 5: and you never really knew what you had. And then

346
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 5: he goes through that next surgery and the trade and

347
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 5: everything else, and you know, becomes a Stanley Cup champion

348
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 5: and he as good as he is offensively, he's just

349
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 5: that good defensively. He's really become that player. And I

350
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 5: think a lot of people, you know, we're thinking that

351
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 5: Austin Matthews could maybe be that player. It's not even

352
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 5: the same conversation just through my eyes. So you put

353
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 5: McDavid against Ikeel and then you put those those two

354
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 5: bass brothers. Uh yeah, Now now you're gonna get some fireworks,

355
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 5: for sure, And that's the way to go if you're

356
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 5: Mike Sullivan, for sure.

357
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: We're talking to Phil Burk, Penguins Radio Network and Sports

358
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: Bett Pittsburgh here on the X Porky. One thing that

359
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: I think bows well for the US is Austin Matthews

360
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: looks really engaged.

361
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 3: He had a good game against Germany.

362
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: And while I would match up Keel in the Kachucks

363
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: against the McDavid line, I think the US needs McDavid

364
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,719
Speaker 1: to score, period. I think that's his job, and if

365
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: he don't do it, I don't know who does as

366
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: much as him.

367
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I don't disagree with you. I will agree

368
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 5: with you. Austin Matthews is much better. I do think

369
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 5: he's a byproduct of his wingers. He's got two great

370
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 5: wingers there and Jake Gentil. I'm not boldie that I think.

371
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 3: I mean, Denseil just looks like real.

372
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'm a huge that BOLDI fan who plays

373
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 5: for the Minnesota a Wild and those two. I think

374
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 5: it buoyed the confidence and the play of Auston Matthews

375
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 5: and kind of insulated him a bit and kind of

376
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 5: you know, made him feel a little more confident and safer.

377
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 5: With that being said, I think if he does, if

378
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 5: he if that's just the one off where he played

379
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 5: that way against Germany and then dips down, I don't

380
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 5: I don't know if the US is gonna get all

381
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 5: the way through. They really need him because he is

382
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 5: a sniper. I mean, he's the guy who can score

383
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 5: sixty goals in the National Hockey League and if he's

384
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 5: playing the right way and he's playing that diligently, and

385
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 5: he has a couple of wingers, but he can trust

386
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 5: like those two guys. Now you're really you're cooking with

387
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 5: gas of the US team, who would.

388
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: You give the goaltending edge? Do you talked about hell

389
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: Abuck a bit before that? You see, I think Canada

390
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: looks almost unbeatable Borkie so far. But again, you know

391
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: who have they played? Who is the US played? But

392
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: I don't trust Bennington. That said he did win the

393
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: four Nations.

394
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 5: He did, and I heard that John Cooper went to

395
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 5: visit him in the summertime and cigars and beers and

396
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 5: they really really talked it out and he said, you're

397
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 5: my guy. And so that goes a long way. And

398
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 5: if you watch Bennington play for the same Lewis Blues

399
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 5: this year, if you're Canada, you were worried, right, But

400
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 5: there's something about this tournament that brings the best out

401
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 5: of players like Bennington. And you know, he's won a

402
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 5: Stanley Cup before and he was the main reason why

403
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 5: Saint Louis won that Stanley Cup in twenty nineteen. And

404
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 5: I think he still has that fire that burns hot

405
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 5: in his belly. And I think that's what John Cooper

406
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 5: likes about him is is he's got that incredible compete

407
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 5: level and when all the chips are pushed in the

408
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 5: middle of the table, you're going to get the best

409
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 5: out of Bennington, and so I listen. I think a

410
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 5: lot of people are kind of swayed are on the

411
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 5: teethertarter back and forth, just because of the regular season

412
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 5: in the NHL that Bennington has had. But I think

413
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 5: if you can get Hellibut playing the way he's playing

414
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 5: right now and Bennington's playing the way he's playing right now,

415
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 5: that's to me, those are the two best goalies in

416
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 5: the tournament, and that's why they should face And I'm

417
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 5: glad that things have also worked out Mark where they

418
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 5: don't face each other in the semi final. Now that

419
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 5: won't happen. The only way the us each other is

420
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 5: for the gold medal, and that's the way we want it.

421
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 3: How would you right Sid's play so far?

422
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm surprised they have six points because Sid in blowout games,

423
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: he's engaged but doesn't necessarily go statistic farming.

424
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 5: I think it's a slow burn. I think the the

425
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 5: the wick is burning for Sid, and I think it's

426
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 5: a it's a gradual burn for him, and I think

427
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 5: as we move along here again now getting into single elimination,

428
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 5: you're gonna see Sid ramp it up. I think he

429
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 5: realized in the preliminaries he didn't have to be the guy, right,

430
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 5: It's more it's more of conom mc david more had

431
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 5: to be the guy than Sid. Right, he got the

432
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 5: two gold medals, but at the end of the day,

433
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 5: Sid's prideful and Sid's not in his mind, is not

434
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 5: leaving the country of Italy without the gold medal. And

435
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 5: so I think as these games move along, and I

436
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 5: can't wait to talk to you next Friday, Yeah, I

437
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 5: think we're gonna see Sidney Crosey or our next Monday,

438
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 5: I should say, after the gold medal game, I think

439
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 5: that it will be US and Canada. And I think

440
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 5: as we get through here, in these next couple of games,

441
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 5: you're going to see the best of Sidney Krosey. You're

442
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 5: going to see that competitive fire that he has even

443
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 5: at the even at the age of thirty eight.

444
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: What do you make in the way the two Pittsburgh

445
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: guys have played, Vince Trocheck and JT. Miller, they've certainly

446
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: been out there a lot and done well on the PK.

447
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think because you know JT. Miller scored close

448
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 5: to one hundred points. They have ninety nine points. I

449
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 5: think with the Vancouver Canucks that we think of him

450
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 5: as being more offensive. But we know what Vince Trochick is, right,

451
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 5: He's a lunch pail guy that whatever role you want,

452
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 5: we kind of know he can play that role. He'll

453
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 5: also get your big goal. So I think Vince has

454
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 5: been good. I haven't been thrilled with JT though, to

455
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 5: be honest with you, And maybe it's him just accepting

456
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 5: that role of being a bottom six guy, being a

457
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 5: PK guy, being an energy, you know, work hard guy,

458
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 5: and letting the big dogs run as far as scoring

459
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 5: all the goals and being the guy where you know,

460
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 5: whether he's in Vancouver or the Rangers. I think he's

461
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 5: leaned on a lot for the offense, I don't think.

462
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 5: And maybe Mike Sullivan's told him that, listen, I don't

463
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 5: need you scoring goals. I got goal scorers. I need

464
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 5: you to do all the other dirty work. And so

465
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 5: maybe that under the radar, we don't give him as

466
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 5: high a grade as maybe he deserves, you know, for

467
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 5: swallowing his pride, because you need Ditchtiggers too, right, you

468
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 5: need those guys too, And I think JT has embraced

469
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 5: that role.

470
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: I want to get back to the matchup thing. You know,

471
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: the possibility of kle against the McDavid line. You know,

472
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: iikling the Kentucks against the Mega line. I think that's

473
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: the way I'd go. But Sally is not big on matchups,

474
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: is he? Sally's just for roll in his lines. I

475
00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: wonder how he'll approached this.

476
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 5: It's a great question, Mark, it really was. I agree

477
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 5: with you that Sully has never chased matchups. Uh, and

478
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 5: sometimes you wish he would, especially at home Ice they

479
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 5: get sit away from a guy that was right in

480
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 5: Sid's face that he would just keep rolling them. You're like, no, no,

481
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 5: like like you got the last change, you don't have

482
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 5: to put sit out there against whoever. I think that

483
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 5: the ko Chucks at KA Chucks.

484
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 2: I thought that Marshan.

485
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 3: Would be a little bit more like this.

486
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 5: I don't think Martian is completely healthy, so I think

487
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 5: it's hard harder for him to play that role. Of course,

488
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 5: Canada's got Tom Wilson, But Tom Wilson I don't think

489
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 5: he can do the same things that the Kachucks do.

490
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 5: And I think because you have two of them, and

491
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 5: you have both of them, on the same line. That's

492
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 5: what I mean, man, we we've got to I mean,

493
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 5: stop on the way home, stop of the church, light

494
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 5: a candle that we get us and Canada. That's that's

495
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 5: that's what we're going to see the absolute best.

496
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: There's so many subplots. It's going to game with him

497
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: these different storylines, right.

498
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 7: But but again, you the Kachucks can do things that

499
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 7: nobody else in any other country can do. And then

500
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 7: when you have two of them on the same team

501
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 7: and both on the same line, they're just gonna feed

502
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 7: off each other.

503
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 8: Whether it's the physicality, whether it's the skill, or whether

504
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 8: it's the chirping. My goodness, every single shift they are

505
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 8: going to be flothing at the mouth like a like

506
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 8: a bulldog on a pork chop.

507
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 5: Man, I cannot wait for that gold medal game. And

508
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:26,959
Speaker 5: I pray the US is in it.

509
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: Okay, Here here's the here's the bad question. Who could

510
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: spoil the party? Who could prevent us versus Canada.

511
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 5: You know, I'm looking at this Swiss team, and I

512
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 5: know they lost Kevin Siala, but I just think they're

513
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 5: a dangerous team Mark because they've got they've got more

514
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 5: NHL guys or NHL caliber guys that you want to

515
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 5: give them credit for if they get any kind of goaltending.

516
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 5: They're They're one of those teams that you look at

517
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 5: them on paper and go, man, come on, borking. It's a little.

518
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 5: It's a little Switzerland. They're everybody's friends, right. I just

519
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,719
Speaker 5: think they're a dangerous team mark and they've done it

520
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 5: before and international play, whether it's World Championships, World Juniors,

521
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 5: in the Olympics before it, they have done it before.

522
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 5: They played this underdog role where you think no way, Man,

523
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 5: no way Switzerland, and all of a sudden, the clocks

524
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 5: you see three zeros up on the clock and they

525
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 5: win by a goal. They are the team that scares

526
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 5: me the most, that nobody's taken.

527
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: Seriously, Yeah, I think Slovakia took their shot. They're two

528
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: and one, they won the Vision. They overreacted. Probably.

529
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 3: I don't think they're gonna do it. Sweden has to

530
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 3: run the gauntlet.

531
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,479
Speaker 1: They would have to beat both the US and Canada

532
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: to get to the final. And here's another point about Switzerland.

533
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 1: They believe in themselves. They finished second in the last

534
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: two World Championships, which isn't as good as the Olympics,

535
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: but it ain't chopped deliver neither and systematically, Borki, they're

536
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,959
Speaker 1: the best team in the tournament. You can tell watching

537
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: that on TV. They color inside the numbers better than

538
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 1: any team.

539
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, if you want to compare them to

540
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 5: maybe you know, like a devil team where they get

541
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 5: bore you to tears. But again, they are so opportunistic.

542
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 5: They're incredibly patient and when you want to just go, go, go,

543
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 5: that's what they feed off of. That one little turnover

544
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 5: in the neuter zone and they ram it down your

545
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 5: throat and they can win games one nothing. They can

546
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 5: win games to one because they have no name goaltenders

547
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 5: that stand on their head, and you're just like.

548
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 2: Who the holy motive?

549
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 5: This is this guy? And we're going.

550
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 1: Home and Roman Yoshi's playing thirty five minutes every game

551
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: from here on I you know that make.

552
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 5: Yeah thirty five plus. Yeah he'll yeah, he'll sit for

553
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 5: twenty seconds to get right back out there again and

554
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 5: barely break a sweat.

555
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,680

00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,720

558
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,160

602
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,320

603
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: of a topic. But right now it is time nas

Speaker 1: Roddington, you're on with double mne.

607
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 9: Hey, Mark, I haven't been able to listen to the

608
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 9: show yet today. I don't know if you discussed this earlier,

609
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 9: but the great Robert duval passing away today. What was

610
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 9: your favorite character of his?

611
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: Well, I talked about it at the very beginning of

612
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: the show. Robert Duvall, one of the all time great actors,

613
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: passing away today at I think ninety five he had

614
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: He had quite a run. But I mean obviously Tom

615
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: Hagen and The Godfather, and I loved him as Max

616
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: Mercy in The Natural as well, the the kind of

617
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: crooked sports writer.

618
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 9: Hey, that's a great choice. Tom Hagen's obviously my number one,

619
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 9: but a close second for me to him is his

620
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 9: role in Kicking and Screaming playing Will Ferrell's dad, and

621
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,719
Speaker 9: he was Mike Dicka's neighbor and they had a big

622
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 9: right over that.

623
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 3: It was just hilarious.

624
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: I saw that that was kind of a kid's movie.

625
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: But I thought Davall could do anything, any role, comedy, drama,

626
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: do it very well. I thought he was very good

627
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: and gone in sixty seconds. Like I can't think of

628
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: anything that he was bad in. Uh, it's a shame.

629
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: Godfather three was not that good for a lot of reasons.

630
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: Although it wasn't bad, it just wasn't as good as

631
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: the first two.

632
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 3: How could it be?

633
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: But Tom Hagen's character was killed off prior in the

634
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: storyline to the time frame of Godfather three because they

635
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: couldn't agree on a salary. And I can't help but

636
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: think that Duval in Godfather three would have made it

637
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: some better. Let's go to David David dron with double M.

638
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 2: Good day, mister Madden.

639
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,000

00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 3: not the U Show. Yeah.

656

Speaker 1: be I'm gonna say the first night game in World

660
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: Series history. I was ten years old, Game four of

00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventy one World Series. I mean I've been

662
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: at I was at Super Bowl thirty. Just the the magnitude,

663
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: the larger than life nature of the Super Bowl was

664
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: a big deal.

665
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 3: But uh, in.

666
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: Terms of what I remember most and best, well, you know,

667
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't been at a signature Liverpool game.

668
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: I've been in some very good games, but I haven't

669
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: been like it a well.

670
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 3: I really like.

671
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: When we won the League Cup at Wembley a couple

672
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 1: of years back, when Van Dyke scored an extra time

673
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: one nil, but I wouldn't say that was a classic game.

674
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm going to go with the three. I said,

675
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 3: lem You come back.

676
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: Number one LEMU scores to win Game one of the

677
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,680

679
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: night game in.

680
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 3: World Series history nineteen seventy one.

681
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: Let's get some more calls in eight three to three,

682
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 1: four to one two WXDX.

683
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 3: But let's go to a talkback.

684
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 4: High Mark.

685
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 3: Good stuff with that Zoe today. Where do you think

686
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 3: the Penguins are headed with the Hoffman Group? When do

687
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 3: they take over?

688
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 9: And what do you expect to be the biggest difference

689
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 9: between them and the Venue Sports Group?

690
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: Thanks, I don't know what the status is in terms

691
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: of when they take over.

692
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 3: The biggest difference.

693
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: I think they'll have more of a local presence than

694
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: the Venway Sports Group did in terms of the actual

695
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,240
Speaker 1: hockey operations. The same people look to be in charge

696
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: moving forward. They said they have a long term commitment

697
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: to Kyle Dubas's GM, which is good news. So I

698
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: just think they're gonna FSG's big mistake was never having

699
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 1: an executive with boots on the ground here like Teddy Werner,

700
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 1: who I like a great deal.

701
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 3: He was nominally in charge here, but he lived in Milwaukee.

702
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 3: Can't do that.

703
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: You can't connect with the city, you can't connect with

704
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: the way that things are done if you don't have

705
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: boots on the ground, not Boots del b Aggio though.

706
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 3: Let's go to a.

707
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: Talkback couple m with you talking about basketball on Friday.

708
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 3: I would just wonder if you ever went to the

709
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,919
Speaker 3: Dapper Day and Ramball and Classic back in the day.

710
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: Thanks, oh, I spoke about the Departy in round Ball

711
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: Classic on Friday when we talked a lot about basketball. Yeah,

712
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: that used to be the biggest high school all star

713
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: game in the country. I think it ran in Pittsburgh

714
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: from sixty five through ninety two, the brainchild of Pat Deciza,

715
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: the concert promoter, and Sonny Vaccaro, the sneaker impresario. So yeah,

716
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: that was huge. Pittsburgh used to have something going on

717
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: in basketball, and like so much good about Pittsburgh sports,

718
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: including all of pitt athletics. It just got killed through stupidity,

719
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: killed through absolute stupidity.
