Flyers take a 1-0 series lead

1
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,760
Hey sports Porchers, it's your
hockey.

2
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:25,320
Jesus.
Oh my goodness, what is going on

3
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,320
with my words tonight?
My goodness.

4
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,320
Sorry about that intro.
That was the worst intro I've

5
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,840
ever had.
Well, maybe it's not worse than

6
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,080
the Pittsburgh Penguins
performance tonight as the

7
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,880
Pittsburgh Penguins tonight have
dropped game one to the

8
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,960
Philadelphia Flyers.
That's right, the Philadelphia

9
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,200
Flyers win tonight's game three
to two.

10
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,440
Sorry I'm running a little late
post game.

11
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,840
I was at the game, so it was
just too difficult to do at the

12
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,720
game.
So I'm home and I'm thinking a

13
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,000
little bit about this game and I
can tell you what, the

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,720
Philadelphia Flyers are
absolutely on fire right now.

15
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,320
They're neutral zone trap.
I'm going to call it a trap.

16
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:10,880
But it's really just a
dedication to play in, you know,

17
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:13,800
a game where you're just not
letting people come through that

18
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,040
neutral zone with any speed or
really with any passes.

19
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,280
And they are just brilliant at
it right now.

20
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,760
And good for them.
They really stifled the

21
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,040
Pittsburgh Penguins, you know,
in the first period.

22
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,160
Great playoff atmosphere, down
to PPG Arena, absolutely, 100%

23
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,560
electric.
Everybody was in their seats for

24
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,720
the whole warm up session
because, you know, it was

25
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,280
supposed to start at 8.
The game didn't start till 8:20,

26
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,320
so everybody was ready to go.
Yeah, just great atmosphere at

27
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:46,040
the beginning.
And then the first period just

28
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,840
was all Flyers.
I mean, it didn't feel like that

29
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,960
because the game was still tied
00.

30
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,240
But I, I, you could tell from
the very start of this game that

31
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,600
the Philadelphia Flyers were
jamming up that neutral zone and

32
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,880
the Pittsburgh Penguins really
had no clue on how to get

33
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,840
through it.
And honestly, it was lucky that

34
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,039
the Pittsburgh Penguins came out
of the first period tied 00.

35
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,760
And then second period starts,
you know, they they trade goals.

36
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,360
Drysdale scores 1.
I mean, Drysdale made a nice job

37
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,240
of getting the puck, you know,
in there.

38
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,480
There was some, there was some
interference in front.

39
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,600
But you know what?
No interference that was, you

40
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,400
know, Shady or anything like
that.

41
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,560
And he scores, you know, it's
just a good, good goal for

42
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:33,840
Philly.
So they scored first.

43
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,880
That kind of takes a little bit
of enthusiasm out of the

44
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,200
building.
But you know, Gino got one back

45
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,400
and the way he got it back was
great because they got a

46
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,120
rebound.
He gets it back to Gino and Gino

47
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,080
just made a brilliant shot kind
of on the other side.

48
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,280
You know, you want to shoot the
puck on the other side on

49
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,720
Vladar, but he he buried it on a
short side there And, you know,

50
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,160
good goal by Gino.
So 11, you're going in the third

51
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,720
period.
But I tell you what, you know,

52
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,560
the Pittsburgh Penguins have
only won two games all season

53
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,840
when they only scored two goals.
And you know, this is just not

54
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,520
the game the Pittsburgh Penguins
want to play.

55
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,400
This is exactly the game that
the Philadelphia Flyers want to

56
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,200
play.
They just want to stay in it,

57
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,840
stay in it, stay in it and then
score at a timely manner.

58
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:25,800
And my goodness, Oh my goodness,
did Travis Sandheim just make a

59
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,880
play?
That guy was a beast tonight.

60
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,240
Not only every, he was very
physical, got in Sidney Crosby's

61
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,840
face, made Sid take a dump
penalty towards the end there.

62
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,000
And you know, Sid was getting in
it with Drysdale, too.

63
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,120
That's a problem for the
Pittsburgh Penguins.

64
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,000
You know, I love when Sid's
feisty, but when he's doing the

65
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,720
extracurricular stuff and, you
know, I don't know the, the

66
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,400
helmets falling off these
Philadelphia Flyers, maybe

67
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:52,800
they're wearing them a little
loose.

68
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,880
Hard to tell, but yeah, they
they were under Sid's skin and,

69
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,840
and you could tell that he was
frustrated not being able to get

70
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,080
the puck through the zone.
And when they got the puck in

71
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,000
the offensive zone, they really
couldn't keep it.

72
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,680
They weren't doing a really good
job of puck retrieval.

73
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,560
Flyers were all over the puck
tonight.

74
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,040
They were just jumping
everywhere.

75
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,920
They were getting to the pucks
first almost all the time.

76
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:23,440
Just a really brilliant game for
the the Philadelphia Flyers and

77
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,800
Porter Marton.
You know, I had my doubts about

78
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,040
this kid, but he's for real.
I mean, I thought there, I

79
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,840
thought Philadelphia and even
the national media was putting a

80
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:34,800
lot of pressure on him by
saying, you know, this kids

81
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,360
going to step it up.
And he did.

82
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,080
Boy, she got a great shot.
He buried that shot from the

83
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,560
side.
And it was funny when he had the

84
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,200
puck, I said he'll shoot it.
I mean, he was shooting it from

85
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,720
everywhere on the power play.
I swear he's behind the net and

86
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,600
he was trying to shoot the puck.
Just a really good, just a

87
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,520
really great play by Porter
Marton.

88
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,280
I'm sure he felt great about
that.

89
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,520
And you know, you know what that
means?

90
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,560
You got to pull the goalie.
So you pull the goalie, you pull

91
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,880
the goalie and you know what the
Pittsburgh Penguins scored.

92
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,960
Everybody was leaving.
Everybody was leaving the

93
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,120
Penguins score.
Rusty gets a really nice you

94
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,640
know, it gets a pass right in
the middle.

95
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,080
This is where you need to shoot
it on this guy.

96
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:19,400
Vladar is not good in the, you
know, the mid danger zone, which

97
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,720
is right above the dots right in
the middle.

98
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,680
That's where you want to be
shooting the puck on him.

99
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,040
I'm going to show you that I I,
I kind of put it up earlier.

100
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,000
You know what, let me just show
it to you guys now.

101
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,640
This is the shot chart for the
Pittsburgh Penguins tonight.

102
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:36,680
This is an absolute dream.
If you're a Philadelphia Flyer,

103
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,560
look at these shots.
This is where this is where you

104
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,440
want to be shooting the puck.
If you're the Pittsburgh

105
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,600
Penguins, this is where Vladar
is definitely a place where he

106
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,920
can you can get on him even over
here.

107
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,360
So the fact that they scored
over here was a little bit of a

108
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,120
surprise.
Vladar usually gets to that

109
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,360
puck.
I didn't think Vladar looked

110
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,240
great at all.
But I mean, look at this shot

111
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,320
sharp when your defense is
playing like this and you're

112
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,440
only giving like maybe these two
high danger zone shots.

113
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,480
These are rebounds, so, you
know, but this one here, that

114
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,320
was the goal.
That was the one from Rusty.

115
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,600
This was I think a shot by maybe
Carlson in the middle, maybe

116
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,440
Gino.
Hard to, I don't remember, But

117
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,120
there were so few.
There was only two.

118
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,440
You think I would have?
You think I would remember it

119
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,600
because it was so terrible.
But yeah, so that's the shot

120
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:24,960
chart.
If you're the Philadelphia

121
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,560
Flyers, you're loving that shot
chart.

122
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,520
That's the exact kind of game
you want to get.

123
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,960
No mucking it up through the
middle zone and you just keep to

124
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,040
your game, stick to your game.
Let's talk about what the

125
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,680
Penguins did.
That was good because there were

126
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,880
a few things.
The fourth line early in the

127
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,200
game, they were dominant.
They look great.

128
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,960
They were the ones chasing the
pucks.

129
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:48,480
They were the one creating the
opportunities and they were

130
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,800
causing problems even in the
second period.

131
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,920
I thought, I thought they were.
They were get they got to their

132
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,200
game the best out of all the all
the lines.

133
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,720
Now you want your first line to
be your best line.

134
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,600
But tonight it was the 4th line
for sure.

135
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,480
Skinner looked great.
He made so many saves on so many

136
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,640
breakaways.
I don't think he's the problem.

137
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,440
I, I, I think he was the reason
that the the Pittsburgh Penguins

138
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,880
were still in this in the third
period, because he looked great.

139
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,240
The Skinner looked great.
He looked like he was ready to

140
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,600
play.
But the bad far outweighed the

141
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,120
good.
I already mentioned one of them,

142
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,600
Sid, taking those two penalties,
getting involved with Drysdale

143
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,040
and Sandheim.
Stay out of there, Sid.

144
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,640
Just I know you want to.
I know you, you're, you're,

145
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,400
you're so excited to be back in
the playoffs.

146
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,080
You don't need to do the
extracurricular stuff.

147
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,800
You need to score a goal.
You need to get to the puck.

148
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,720
You can pound guys when they
have the when they have the

149
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,400
puck.
That's what you need to do.

150
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,200
Come on, Sid, you can do it.
I know you can't.

151
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,520
And I know he'll be back,
guaranteed.

152
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,880
Penguins too many post whistle,
stupid getting together and

153
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,600
punching each other.
They haven't done that all

154
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,440
season and yet tonight it was
like after every whistle in the

155
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,160
first period.
Now I know it got the fans into

156
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,120
the game and you know, that's
fun.

157
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,680
It is kind of fun, no doubt
about that.

158
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,520
But that's not their game.
That takes them out of their

159
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,240
game.
That's not what they want to do.

160
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,760
And the neutral zone, like I
said, just a great job by

161
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,000
Philadelphia, but the Penguins
had hardly anything that they

162
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,360
could do with it.
And clearly the number one

163
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,680
problem for the Pittsburgh
Penguins was their power play

164
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,960
tonight.
O for two on the power play,

165
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,880
only two shots and it looked
awful.

166
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,000
And part of that is because they
couldn't get the puck into the

167
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,760
zone.
They weren't winning the draw.

168
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,320
And and some of the time the
draw was coming outside of the

169
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,120
zone on the beginning of a power
play.

170
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,080
I've never seen that before.
I I'm not really sure what that

171
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,280
was.
I think somebody said it was

172
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,920
because the penalty was after
the play was whistled dead.

173
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:59,160
That was really bizarre to me.
But yeah, those were that.

174
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,760
So that's the that's the good
and the bad for for Pittsburgh.

175
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,680
Let's go over the good and the
bad for the Flyers.

176
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,240
Let's start with the good for
the Flyers because there was a

177
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,440
lot of it.
They're neutral zone.

178
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,640
Like I said, just wow, just
incredible.

179
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,240
And you know what, their
physicality was spot on.

180
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:19,600
It was there at the right times
and it was it was taking care of

181
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,520
business.
They were blowing up guys in the

182
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,960
right times and not too much
post whistle stuff.

183
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,520
So that's how you want to play a
physical game.

184
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,480
I thought Philadelphia was
playing that great tonight and

185
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,720
they got the timely scoring.
Like I said, you know, Drysdale

186
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,600
gets in there, You don't expect
him to score Sandheim, which is

187
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,440
just an absolutely incredible
move at the blue line.

188
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,840
I I didn't see that coming and
Mark Tone, you know, he's the

189
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,480
guy that you want to get hot if
you're if you're the

190
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,880
Philadelphia Flyers and he got
hot tonight.

191
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,840
So kudos to the fires.
They did do some bad things,

192
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,040
however, and I think this is
what they're going to have to

193
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,040
work on.
I don't think Vladar is that

194
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,000
great.
They're going to have to

195
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,040
continue to insulate him from
shots.

196
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,680
Because I feel like if the
Pittsburgh Penguins can get some

197
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:10,080
shots on goal in that, in that,
you know, in that mid zone, in

198
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,400
that mid danger zone, I think
the Pittsburgh Penguins can

199
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,600
capitalize on a lot of goals,
not just a few, but a lot of

200
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:18,880
goals.
And you know what?

201
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,400
The fires missed a lot of Grade
A chances.

202
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,160
How many, how many breakaways
did they have?

203
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,800
Zebras, Tippett, maybe
Forrester.

204
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,640
There were so many.
Just a, just an incredible

205
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,920
amount.
If you're if you're a Flyers

206
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,880
fan, you can't let those go.
You can't let those go away.

207
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,000
When the Pittsburgh Penguins
start scoring goals, because

208
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,160
we'll get to our game.
We'll find a way to score.

209
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,320
I promise you that this will be
a series.

210
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:48,240
It's only one game, but the team
that wins the first game has a

211
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,040
much better chance at winning
the series, especially if you're

212
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,440
the road team.
So I always thought, you know, I

213
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,240
didn't do, I didn't do a, you
know, a pregame because there

214
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,720
were so many people out there
saying so many things.

215
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,320
You know, I was listening to
some Philly stuff, you know,

216
00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:04,800
Broad Street hockey.
Those guys are doing pretty good

217
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,600
job.
And some knuckles.

218
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,520
I can't remember.
Cote does something on a

219
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,080
podcast.
I was listening to these guys

220
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,120
and you know what, I like
hearing the other side, what

221
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,960
they think.
And you know what, they were

222
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,320
right about Bartone.
They said this kid is is for

223
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,560
real.
And they were absolutely right

224
00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:24,080
about that.
And they were right about the

225
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,840
Flyers, you know, continuing
their onslaught of what they've

226
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,160
been doing time and time again,
you know, in the last really

227
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,040
last 10 games.
And they just look calm, cool

228
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,000
and collected out there.
And that's going to be a problem

229
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,960
for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
But I believe that, you know,

230
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,280
like I was going to say that the
Pittsburgh Penguins and the

231
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,880
Flyers, to me, it was a win one,
lose 1, win one, lose 1, then

232
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,720
the first four.
That's the way I feel it's going

233
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,760
to go.
It's going to go to, you know,

234
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,440
game of three at the end.
And I think by that time,

235
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,920
Pittsburgh figures out Philly.
Look, if Pittsburgh doesn't

236
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,040
figure out Philly in Game 2,
well, he's got a really good

237
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,480
chance at sweeping the Penguins.
I'll be honest with you.

238
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,160
Because if they can't figure out
how to score goals, it's over.

239
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,840
It's over.
They're they, they've only won

240
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,880
two games when they scored two
goals.

241
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,480
They're not going to win A-21
game.

242
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,960
They're going to not win very
many 3, two games.

243
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,040
And that's just the way it works
for for the Pittsburgh, for the

244
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,400
Pittsburgh Penguins, and tonight
the Philadelphia Flyers.

245
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:34,200
Absolutely, take it to them and
the Flyers or Penguins are going

246
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,800
to have to regroup.
Can't wait to watch.

247
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,760
I was at the game live so you
know, there weren't a lot of

248
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,360
Flyers fans there, but they got
a little vocal at the end and

249
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,640
good for them.
I would if I was in Philadelphia

250
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,240
and our our team was winning.
But I have to say at the end of

251
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,480
the game, I didn't.
I mean, I was shocked Mantha got

252
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,160
that opportunity with like 3
seconds left.

253
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,480
I mean, my God, that was almost
a total failure.

254
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,680
Failure, almost a total failure
by the Flyers.

255
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,920
Hey Derpy, good to see you, man.
Yeah, I agree with you.

256
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,640
Sometimes you hate this team,
but you know what?

257
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,240
This is playoff hockey.
You're going to expect this to

258
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,800
happen and in A7 game series you
got to figure things out.

259
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,320
Muse has been pretty good all
season long, so I'd look for him

260
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,920
to make some changes.
Wouldn't be surprised if Rax

261
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,720
goes back on the first line and
and Chinny drops down on the

262
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,040
second line.
That would not surprise me at

263
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,600
all.
But yeah, it's kind of the same

264
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,200
old, same old.
But remember, we I think we took

265
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,960
a 3-1 lead in our last playoff
series that we lost to the New

266
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,760
York Rangers and we ended up
losing that.

267
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,600
So we were feeling really good
about that.

268
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,520
I think it's better to feel
worse after game one because you

269
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,440
can make a lot of changes and do
a lot of things that will

270
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,360
absolutely help your team in the
future.

271
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,920
So yeah, that first hit would
collapse.

272
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,320
Philly hit that 1st.
The Pens would collapse.

273
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,040
I don't think they collapsed.
I think they just hadn't

274
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,760
figured.
They still haven't figured out

275
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,680
how to get into get through that
neutral zone.

276
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,040
Look for that to happen though,
Derby, they're going to, they're

277
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,520
going to figure something out.
You'll be able to see right

278
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,280
away.
I think the Flyers got to their

279
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,400
game and the Pittsburgh Penguins
didn't.

280
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,200
And that's why tonight the
Philadelphia Flyers take a one

281
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,600
to nothing lead in the series
over the Pittsburgh Penguins in

282
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,120
A32 win.
And hey, if you love what you're

283
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,600
hearing, I'm a hockey Jesus.
We we have a show called the

284
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,840
Sports Porch.
We love to do the show.

285
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,640
You know what we usually do it
Mondays at 7:00.

286
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,560
Well, there's this little
problem of a another hockey game

287
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,160
at Monday at 7:00.
So I think we're going to switch

288
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,960
it up.
Maybe we'll do.

289
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,400
I don't know.
We didn't talk about when we're

290
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,360
going to do it.
So I can't announce it here now,

291
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,160
but I think we're going to
change the date of the show or

292
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,680
the time of the show.
Not sure of it, but I'm not

293
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,920
going to be on if the boys
decide to go ahead and do it.

294
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,920
I doubt it because you know, my
our buddy Mark is a Flyers fan

295
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,720
stuck here in in Pittsburgh does
a show called the Philly sports

296
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,360
sports for you Philly fans out
there.

297
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,760
You should check that out.
And that's it for tonight for

298
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,120
me.
I will be back Monday.

299
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,280
I'm going to the game again.
So I'm hoping I'm not the jinx.

300
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,800
I'm going to change the shirt
up, going to change the hat.

301
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,400
Got it.
Got to change it up, right.

302
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:25,680
I'm a little superstitious when
it comes to that, but I love the

303
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,280
hockey.
I'll be honest with you, if the

304
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,680
Pittsburgh Penguins come back
and win the series, that'd be

305
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,240
great.
But if they don't, as long as

306
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,440
the hockey's great, that's what
matters to me.

307
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,560
I don't really like the way the
Flyers play and they muck up

308
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,560
that zone, but they're
opportunistic.

309
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,600
So it's it's definitely a valid
way of playing hockey.

310
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,120
We saw the New York, the New
Jersey Devils do that and make a

311
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,080
living at it in the 2000s.
So it can be done.

312
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,240
It absolutely can be done.
And it was done tonight to

313
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,800
perfection.
So that's it for me tonight.

314
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,560
I hope you like what you hear.
If you do smash that subscribe

315
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,480
button.
I'm your hockey Jesus.

316
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,880
I'm out.
I'll see you on.
