00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:20,160
Hey sports Porchers.
It's your hockey Jesus.
2
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,920
And I'm back with analysis of
game two of the Pittsburgh
3
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,360
Penguins versus the Philadelphia
Flyers in round one of the
4
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,720
Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Well, no changes for the
5
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:37,200
Penguins tonight in the lineup
and no changes in the results as
6
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,320
the Philadelphia Flyers take it
to the Pittsburgh Penguins
7
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,520
tonight by a score of three to
nothing.
8
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,960
That's right, a shout out for
Dan Vladar.
9
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:48,840
The boys from Philly really have
it rolling.
10
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,560
I mean, you know, what can I
say?
11
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,480
The first period was an absolute
snooze fest.
12
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,240
Five shots for Philly, only two
shots for Pittsburgh in the
13
00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,280
first period.
Now it is.
14
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,080
It wasn't without trying.
I mean, the Penguins were
15
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,000
absolutely trying to get shots
on goal and they were having a
16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,840
much easier time getting through
the neutral zone.
17
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,360
It's just that when they got
into the offensive zone,
18
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,360
Philadelphia's doing such an
excellent job of just jamming
19
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,320
that middle of the ice.
They're almost daring the
20
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:22,280
Pittsburgh Penguins to go to the
middle of the ice because that's
21
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,800
where the Flyers are dominating.
They just know how to take the
22
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,960
puck away.
They know how to get in lanes.
23
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,720
They're blocking every shot.
They're not even, they're not
24
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,840
even allowing the Penguins to
really get a good shot on goal
25
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,720
either by deflecting it or
hitting the stick.
26
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:39,320
I'm telling you, the Flyers are
are for real.
27
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:41,640
They're an absolute juggernaut
right now.
28
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,680
And the Pittsburgh Penguins
threw everything they had at
29
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,200
them in the second period and
they cave out of the period
30
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,440
losing.
I mean, that really says it all.
31
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,080
I mean, there's really nothing
else you can do for the
32
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,920
Pittsburgh Penguins.
I mean, they came out that
33
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,400
period.
They were tied 1212 and shots in
34
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,600
the period.
And you know, with Martone
35
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,280
getting that goal and then that
Backbreaker by Hathaway on the
36
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,920
on the Shorty, it was it was
pretty much over at that point.
37
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:13,680
I mean, you know, you're going
to play the third period.
38
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,640
But it I mean, the Pittsburgh
Penguins did everything they
39
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:19,320
possibly could to get to where
they needed to be.
40
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,360
And they just couldn't get to
the promised land, which is
41
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:27,840
getting a puck into the net.
And, you know, I personally
42
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,200
think it's the gold jerseys.
No, I'm just kidding.
43
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,280
It's it's the way the Flyers are
are playing.
44
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,680
The Flyers are playing great.
And you know what Porter Morton
45
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,480
is for real?
He wasn't dominant.
46
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,680
OK, he wasn't dominant.
But what the kid does is when he
47
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,480
scored that goal, he was going
right to the net.
48
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,240
That's what you do.
Like, OK, maybe connect me got
49
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,560
maybe connect me got him.
Got him a pretty good pass.
50
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:52,360
I didn't think so.
It looked like it kind of came
51
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,880
off of somebody to him, but he
was right there and he didn't
52
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,000
waste any time.
The backhanded in, I can tell
53
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,920
you either in the later in the
second period or early in the
54
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:04,240
third period, the Pittsburgh
Penguins had a very similar
55
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,040
thing happened.
I it was in the third period
56
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,240
because it was on the same side
of the ice and the Penguins just
57
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,200
couldn't get to the puck and
they just flopped it.
58
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,840
They didn't even get a shot on
goal.
59
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,160
And that's the difference.
It's a small difference, a
60
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,920
really small difference.
But it's it's it's proving big
61
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:23,680
dividends for the Philadelphia
Flyers now with A2 nothing lead,
62
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:26,520
you know, basically taken to the
Penguins on their home ice.
63
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,880
I have to basically I have to
talk about the elephant in the
64
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,040
room, Sidney Crosby.
OK, Sidney Crosby, everybody
65
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,680
knows is a is a Philadelphia
Flyers killer.
66
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,400
Absolutely is, no doubt about
it.
67
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,680
If you talk to any Philadelphia
Flyers fan, they are absolutely
68
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,880
thrilled that they kept Crosby
off the scoreboard for two games
69
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,040
in a row in Pittsburgh and just
made the fans be like, Oh my
70
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,520
God, maybe Sidney Crosby does
need to retire.
71
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,320
And, and looking at it, it just
looks like they don't have any.
72
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,400
They don't have half the energy
the Philadelphia Flyers have.
73
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,120
And I don't think it's because
they're not trying.
74
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,800
Maybe Muse doesn't have the
right system.
75
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,520
You know, Muse is new to this.
It's his first year in the
76
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,720
league.
Maybe maybe he doesn't know what
77
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,400
to do.
You know, I heard him in the in
78
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,400
the post conference saying, you
know, it's the little things
79
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,800
that make a difference.
And he's right.
80
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,800
But he's not saying what those
little things are.
81
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,160
And I think, you know, that
makes that's going to be a
82
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,160
problem for for Pittsburgh
moving forward if they're going
83
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,080
to make some changes, you know,
and they did in the third
84
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,600
period.
Now actually in the second
85
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,680
period, they made the changes.
And unfortunately, that's when
86
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,120
more tone scored his goal.
They, it was like, Hey,
87
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,880
Chinikovs out there with, with
Malkin.
88
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,440
Hey, maybe that's what they need
to do.
89
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,880
Hey, Porter Marton just scored a
goal.
90
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,400
Maybe they don't now.
They did look better in the
91
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,560
third period when both lines
were back to their normal lines
92
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,120
with Caleb on the 1st and
Chinikoff on the second line.
93
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,120
But it didn't make any
difference in in, you know, the
94
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,920
how they scored.
They did get more sustained
95
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,240
pressure out of it, but Vladar
was there every time to make the
96
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,120
saves.
And you know what happens in
97
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,600
these situations, Ladar sees the
other guys in front of them
98
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,360
playing really hard and he
doesn't want to let them down.
99
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,320
When he's got to make the save,
he's going to be focused, ready
100
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,760
to make that save.
And the Penguins just made them
101
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,680
too comfortable too early in the
game.
102
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,560
And you know, mostly the fires
made him more comfortable
103
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,520
because they didn't allow a lot
of shots on goal.
104
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,520
And that's what happens with
good teams.
105
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,000
And and when you jump on an
opportunity like Marton did,
106
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,920
when Hathaway got that puck and
it basically center ice and had
107
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,920
a two on one and Latang was
falling down behind the play,
108
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,200
they just buried it.
I mean, and there was times
109
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,640
when, you know, they didn't bury
it.
110
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:45,200
You know, the you could say, you
know, the the time Tippett got
111
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,720
pulled down from behind and he
didn't score on a penalty shot.
112
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,360
But other than that, I'm telling
you, Philadelphia really knows
113
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,240
exactly what they're doing.
They're executing it to the best
114
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,840
level that I've seen against the
Pittsburgh Penguins team most of
115
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:00,480
the season.
And you know, 5, this is five
116
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,120
losses in a row for the Penguins
and we haven't seen 5 losses in
117
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,080
a row since, you know, last
December when the team was even
118
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,760
worse than they they look right
now.
119
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,960
They're really trying, but it
doesn't look like they have much
120
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,080
that they can do differently.
I think, you know, the only
121
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,600
thing they did stay away from
the shenanigans tonight.
122
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,080
Pittsburgh Penguins weren't
getting into those those those,
123
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,000
you know, phrase after the
whistle.
124
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,240
It looked like they did a really
good job of that.
125
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,160
And once again, the power play
for the Pittsburgh Penguins
126
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,640
nonexistent tonight.
Tonight again, O for five.
127
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,480
I did not.
I know at one point there was
128
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,920
only one shot on goal and all
the power plays.
129
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,360
Now they were in the last power
play when I saw it.
130
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,120
But if and I I know you saw it,
'cause you watch it 'cause you
131
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,320
listen to the hockey Jesus and
that's why you're here.
132
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,800
By the way, thanks for thanks
for stopping by.
133
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,920
See, we got a lot of people
there watching me tonight.
134
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,760
Appreciate you know, everything
that you you know, you guys are
135
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:56,880
saying.
Give me some comments.
136
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,120
What you saw tonight, derpies
out there saying, you know, we
137
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,800
suck.
It's embarrassing anymore.
138
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,880
I feel bad for Crosby.
I kind of wish we didn't make it
139
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,280
at this point.
You know, you always want to
140
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:08,760
make the playoffs.
You always want to give your
141
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,360
superstars a chance to shine in
the postseason.
142
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,280
And it it's, it's, you know, you
just, it's maybe at some point
143
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,800
you have to say, yeah, these
guys are past their pride and
144
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,920
they just can't do it because
they just don't have the energy.
145
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,000
They've won 3 Cups already and
maybe it's just time to hang up
146
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,120
the skates now.
It's early for that.
147
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,920
You got to win four.
OK.
148
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,040
They can go into Philadelphia
and change, change, you know,
149
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,200
flip the script, as they like to
say here in Pittsburgh during
150
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,920
the playoffs.
Maybe they can flip the script
151
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,360
one more time.
But they're going to have to
152
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,360
have a miracle, a turn around
because they really did push
153
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,840
hard today, especially in the
second period and in the the
154
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,080
third period and they got
nothing, absolutely nothing for
155
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,800
their effort.
So I'm not optimistic.
156
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,880
I, if you would have talked to
me before this game, I said I
157
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,200
came home after being at Game 1
and I watched the show.
158
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,800
I watched, I watched the game
again live thinking maybe I
159
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,240
missed something here.
Somebody tell me if I missed
160
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,720
something here.
And I watched it and I said, you
161
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,600
know what?
There are some things that I saw
162
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,280
on the ice that the Pittsburgh
Penguins could fix, you know,
163
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,240
namely getting to the middle of
the ice, shooting the puck more,
164
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,680
you know, just being more
aggressive and, and during
165
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,720
between the whistles and not
after the whistles.
166
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,680
And they did a lot of that
tonight.
167
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,440
They were able to get through
the neutral zone a lot easier.
168
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,880
But boy, when it comes to
finishing, they have no effort.
169
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,559
And if you can't score, if you
can't score, you know, that's
170
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,159
it.
So I guess the only thing the
171
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:41,000
Pittsburgh Penguins have going
for them now, complete
172
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,280
underdogs, right?
I think I saw a statistic where
173
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,720
it said Philadelphia Flyers
when, when, you know, leading a
174
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,280
series to nothing or something
along those lines, when 85% of
175
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,400
the time I know the Pittsburgh
Penguins have come back from 2
176
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,120
nothing, you know, being down to
nothing in series.
177
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,680
And I, I was listening to the
post game and there was a
178
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,800
Capitals series, I think in 1996
or somewhere around there where
179
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,960
they, they turned it around.
They won the next Fort.
180
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,320
Now that can happen.
It absolutely can happen.
181
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:15,280
But Sid's going to have to lead
the way 100% Sid's going to have
182
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,560
to lead that rush right in the
Pittsburgh or right in the
183
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:19,960
Philadelphia.
And they're just going to, he's
184
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,200
going to have to stick it to the
fans.
185
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,360
Now we know how much Sid loves
to stick it to the fans in
186
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,960
Philadelphia.
So maybe that will be the saving
187
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,960
grace.
I can tell you they won't be
188
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,360
wearing their gold uniforms in
Philadelphia.
189
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,600
That you I can promise will be
the case for the for the
190
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,200
Pittsburgh Penguins.
So some of the changes I would
191
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,000
make, I would probably stick
with the stick, with Raquel up
192
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,480
on the first line.
I would definitely make some
193
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,680
defensive changes.
I don't care what it takes.
194
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,200
Take Sammy Gerard out of there.
I say even sit with Tang if you
195
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,160
have to.
But you got to get some fresh,
196
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,040
you got to get some fresh bodies
in there.
197
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,280
You know, maybe play Jack St.
Ivany or Solianoff, somebody
198
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,960
like that.
You got to, you got to change it
199
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,760
up.
You got to get some new blood in
200
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,000
there.
Clearly they're got to put
201
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,160
Brazil in there.
You know, although, you know,
202
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,840
Soderbergh didn't solder,
solder.
203
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,920
I can't even say his name.
The big guy Elmer did not play
204
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,120
bad.
It's just that you know, you got
205
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,440
to you got to change it up.
There's something you got to do
206
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,080
differently.
We do own them in a little bit
207
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,840
in Philadelphia Derby.
That's true.
208
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,000
We do play well in Philadelphia
and they are a pretty good Rd.
209
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,240
team.
But then again, so is
210
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,440
Philadelphia and Philadelphia is
not a great home team either.
211
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,040
So I don't know.
Maybe this will be a away away
212
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,640
series.
I don't know.
213
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,400
I'm I'm trying to make things up
to make it sound better for the
214
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,440
Pittsburgh Penguins.
It's really hard when you score
215
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:43,960
two goals in the first game and
zero goals in the second game to
216
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,640
say you gained some momentum
from this and you're feeling
217
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,840
optimistic.
I was feeling optimistic about
218
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,920
this game because I thought they
could make those changes and
219
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,480
they did everything they can and
did not.
220
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,000
So that's all I got for you guys
tonight.
221
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,200
I see tonight in the NHL that
there's a couple games that are
222
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,240
in overtime.
It looks like Carolina and
223
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,520
Ottawa are in overtime, so you
should be watching that.
224
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,840
If you're not watching the
Montreal Tampa Bay series, shame
225
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,360
on you for 12 years because that
series is going to be
226
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,280
incredible.
Dallas is tied.
227
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,040
So Dallas has got to win tonight
too.
228
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,600
They're another 2-3 team.
You know, it's interesting that
229
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,640
the 2, three teams, all, all the
third team, all the third seed
230
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,560
teams and Edmonton's playing
tonight have lost.
231
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,320
So maybe there's something about
being that two seed that's just,
232
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,120
you know, maybe that's the
problem.
233
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,480
Maybe it's no longer the
President's Trophy jinx.
234
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,000
Maybe it's that second seed or
maybe the Penguins just came in
235
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,280
a little too optimistic about
themselves, thinking that, you
236
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,920
know, they're resilient and they
can score because they've scored
237
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,920
a lot this year and it's been a
complete power outage.
238
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,520
So that's it.
That's all I got for you
239
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,920
tonight.
Pittsburgh Penguins and the
240
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,680
Philadelphia Flyers will be at
it in Philadelphia on Wednesday.
241
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,120
Max, my boys going to be there.
So if the Fire fans are there,
242
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,760
take it easy on them.
You know, I've sat next to a
243
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,920
Flyers fan tonight.
There were good people.
244
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,320
You know, they weren't
belligerent.
245
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,240
There were some, there were some
fisticuffs.
246
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,840
They were trying to go on below
us.
247
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,200
But I think cooler heads
prevailed.
248
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,680
You know, I don't think there
was a lot of alcohol muscles
249
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:24,360
going on tonight at the arena.
And I hope there isn't in
250
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,720
Philly.
You know, be good to your people
251
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,560
around you.
And you know what?
252
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:32,080
Enjoy the hockey.
I'll be back Wednesday because
253
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,320
I'm here after every single
Pittsburgh Penguins game.
254
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,360
Probably sounds like I'm a
Flyers fan after the analysis I
255
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,320
just gave tonight.
But I say it like it is, you
256
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,280
know, when the Penguins are
down, they can they can come
257
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,480
back.
They got to make some changes.
258
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:50,200
They got to get an attitude.
And their guy, Sidney Crosby got
259
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,240
to be the guy who's leading them
into the promised land if
260
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,800
they're going to make any
change.
261
00:12:55,560 --> 00:12:58,640
It can happen on a dime, but
it's going to be difficult.
262
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,400
So tonight, the Pittsburgh
Penguins lose to the
263
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,920
Philadelphia Flyers.
Dan Vladar with his first with
264
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,840
his first shut out in the play
offs.
265
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,600
Porter Martome keeping it going.
He's got 2 for two, two games,
266
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,640
two goals.
Who does?
267
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,560
Maybe he'll play 20 games and
get 20 goals this season and the
268
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:18,960
fires will hoist the Cup.
I know that's what you're
269
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,040
thinking.
If you're in Philadelphia, be
270
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,680
careful.
It's a long series, anything can
271
00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:27,280
come back to get you.
I'm I'm holding out hope for
272
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,640
that, of course, but you just
never know.
273
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:36,760
So tonight Penguins lose.
I will be back on Wednesday to
274
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,200
give you my analysis.
So until then, sports porchers,
275
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,680
enjoy your hockey and I'll see
you on Wednesday.
