00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:17,920
Hey sports Porchers, it's your
hockey Jesus, and I'm back with
2
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:23,520
game two of the Pittsburgh
Penguins versus the New York
3
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,600
Islanders.
Well, we're off to a flaming
4
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,960
start here in Pittsburgh.
Glad to see it.
5
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,440
So much better than last year.
So many different things than
6
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,520
last year.
It's just been just been a great
7
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,480
start for the Penguins.
Tonight.
8
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,440
It was the home opener I
believe.
9
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,680
They look like the crowd was was
sold out.
10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,680
You know, I thought about
heading down to the game, but I
11
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,400
had a nice set up here that I
was checking out and I got to
12
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,320
talk about sports net, but I'm
going to save that for the end
13
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,560
that sports net app.
Oh boy, stay to the end if you
14
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,240
want to hear about that.
Anyway, the Pittsburgh Penguins
15
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:04,080
win tonight 4/3 in the home
opener and boy, Tristan Jarry.
16
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,160
Let's let's start with Tristan
Jarry.
17
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:11,400
He started this game.
I just I was done with him.
18
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,720
I'd, you know, tweeting out on
the the sports porch one if if
19
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,800
you want to follow me on the on
the on the X handle, but I
20
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,200
tweeted out.
I think I think it's time to be
21
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,800
done with the Jarry experiment
just because that first goal
22
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,160
just fluttering like that, it's
just classic Jarry can't track
23
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,760
it down.
I get it.
24
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,360
You know, he's looking for a
hard shot, but still he can
25
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,160
never get those goals, seemingly
some of the easiest ones to get.
26
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,000
So Jory gives up a week 1 to
begin with, right.
27
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,840
You know, after after the pen
score boy, that power play
28
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:50,600
tonight looked great, didn't it?
Sid and Gino and what is up with
29
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,960
Erik Carlson?
Somebody please don't stop this
30
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,880
guy.
Don't wake me from this dream.
31
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,680
This is how we thought Erik
Carlson was going to play.
32
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,560
Looks like he's just flying out
there, able to just skate
33
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,240
wherever he wants.
Maybe it's because somebody's
34
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,759
always, you know, taking up the
spot at the defensive end, but
35
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:13,240
man, he looks so comfortable.
He looks happy to be out there
36
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,960
just skating around.
You know, he really hasn't
37
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,080
generated too much with that
skating.
38
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,000
But trust me, it'll happen for
sure.
39
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,760
If he can, if he can continue
down that path, I think great
40
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,600
things are going to be happening
with him.
41
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,880
Let's talk about some of the
rookies because, you know, these
42
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,240
are the guys that I'm definitely
following tonight.
43
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,440
Harrison Brunick got his first
National League goal and it was
44
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,960
the beauty right down the
middle.
45
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,240
He's not going to be pump the
brakes on Brunick and scoring
46
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,720
lots of goals.
He's not in his career.
47
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,680
If you look it up, I think the
most goals he's got in one
48
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,640
season down in the juniors was
was ten goals and I think that
49
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:56,240
was in like 59 games.
So he's not a goal scorer, but
50
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,440
if he puts himself in in a
position coming down the slot
51
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,400
like that, he can RIP it and you
saw that tonight.
52
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,400
He just looks so comfortable
with the puck.
53
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,720
You know, Holmstrom was bird
dogging him in the third period
54
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,960
and he just he just flicked them
off like that, Like, get away
55
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,040
from me.
Who are you?
56
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,480
And actually, Holmstrom cut a
penalty because he was he was
57
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,720
hooking him so much.
But man, Brunick, Brunick just
58
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,760
continues to impress.
Very impressed with that
59
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,240
youngster.
Koividen still looking a little
60
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,240
absent on that first line.
I don't know.
61
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,800
Maybe it's time to take him off.
I think Muse is going to give
62
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,960
him a longer rope to to play up
there.
63
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,080
Rumor has it that the Russ could
come back as soon as Saturday,
64
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,240
so maybe that's what they need.
Just put Russ back up on that
65
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,160
first line because I don't know.
Kovidan doesn't look like he's
66
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,120
comfortable there.
Something, something's not right
67
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,280
there.
You can just tell the
68
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,560
chemistry's not not right.
But that second line, my
69
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,000
goodness.
Tonight Brazil got the game
70
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,520
winner on a sweet pass from
Gino.
71
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,200
I had to laugh when Colby
Armstrong called it the the
72
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,400
Shrek line.
I love that nickname.
73
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,680
Colby.
Awesome job with that nickname.
74
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,400
I don't know if it's going to
stick or not, but I think it's
75
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,760
time to start bringing Shrek
dolls to PPG Arena.
76
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,440
Maybe start with on Saturday
Somebody gets a hat trick, you
77
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,040
can start throwing Shrek dolls
out out on the ice.
78
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,080
That would be freaking
hilarious.
79
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,920
But yeah, that's Shrek line.
Just just great.
80
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,120
Hard to believe that this is the
first time in Gino's career
81
00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:36,120
where he started the season out
with back-to-back multiple point
82
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,320
games.
That's really, that's really
83
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,600
kind of hard to believe with a
guy who scored that many points.
84
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,240
But it's true.
It's damn true.
85
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,120
And that's what happened
tonight.
86
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,960
He got more points.
Sid gets back on track tonight
87
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,440
with the sweet pass from Gino on
that power play.
88
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,080
Gold just stuck his stick there.
Classic Sid with the knee down.
89
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,600
Just beautiful.
I love it.
90
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,320
I'll, I'll, I'll miss it when
it's gone.
91
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,960
But you know, these boys playing
for 20 seasons in a row, Latang,
92
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,320
Malkin and Crosby, It's just
special to watch.
93
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,800
It really is.
I know it's coming to an end,
94
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,080
but I just love I I've, I've
been waiting for this for
95
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,240
probably three years now to see
some young, some young guns
96
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,600
playing with these old guys.
I just I think it's I think it's
97
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,280
working out really well, but
it's a two game sample.
98
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:28,120
OK, let's not get too crazy
about it.
99
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,040
But it is something to be
celebrating for sure.
100
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,920
Two games, four points.
That's a good way to start the
101
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,360
season.
I'm not so sure how good the two
102
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,400
teams are.
I don't think the Rangers are
103
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,600
going to be as good as they are.
We all know that the Islanders
104
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,280
are definitely going to struggle
this year and they'd look like
105
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:49,280
it today.
Sorokin didn't look too good in
106
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:53,320
gold tonight.
He gave up, probably.
107
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,160
You'd probably consider that
third goal a soft one.
108
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,720
But we'll take all the goals we
can get.
109
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,760
So Pittsburgh Penguins tonight
are winners for three.
110
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,320
And before I sign off, there's
something I got to say.
111
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,640
I got to get it off my chest.
Deep breaths.
112
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,880
Pittsburgh Sportsnet.
What is going on with your app?
113
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,560
I've been a proud sponsor and
I've given you my hard money for
114
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,400
for over 13 months now because,
you know, I, I pulled the cord.
115
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,360
So I don't have whatever is on
the television anymore.
116
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,640
YouTube doesn't get whatever
station it is.
117
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,840
So I got a stream.
I got a stream the these home
118
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:42,800
games and I'll tell you it's
ridiculous the amount of
119
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,040
buffering that goes on during
these games.
120
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,880
I don't know if you've
experienced it with your sports
121
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,040
net app.
If you have leave a message, let
122
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,840
me know.
I'd like to, you know, I think,
123
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,640
you know, misery loves company
in this in this sense.
124
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,680
So let's just get Sportsnet to
do something about this.
125
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:03,680
I have to watch it through here.
If I've got to find something
126
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,880
different, I absolutely will
because it drives me crazy when
127
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,560
I'm behind.
So I can't be on X at the same
128
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,880
time and it just is not a good
experience.
129
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,440
You know, maybe I should just
buy a season ticket plan.
130
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,040
I'm sure the Penguins would love
that.
131
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,800
I would love that, but I don't
think my wallet would like that.
132
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,880
So tonight, Pittsburgh Penguins
once again, four or three
133
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,840
winners.
Justin Brazeau with the winner
134
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,480
about 5 minutes left in the
game.
135
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,200
A little bit more and change.
A good gritty game.
136
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,200
If you go back and watch this
game, Penn showed a lot of grit
137
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,480
in this game.
There was a lot of
138
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,520
extracurricular activities, as
we like to say in the hockey
139
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,080
world.
And you know, a lot of pushing
140
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,520
and shoving after some high
sticks.
141
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,880
Duran got a high stick there at
the end, cost him a 5 minute, 5
142
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,120
minute power play in the game
misconduct.
143
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,480
He's probably going to get
suspended by the league.
144
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,280
You can't cross check somebody
in the head.
145
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,680
I don't care who it is.
He'll probably get A2 game
146
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,720
suspension, but we're not going
to play him for a while.
147
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,840
But that'll be that'll be
special for the next two games,
148
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,240
whoever plays against the
Islanders.
149
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:15,120
So next game, hey, not tomorrow
night, but Saturday night.
150
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,680
That's right, the Rangers are in
town Saturday night, Sully, the
151
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,840
Sully tribute will be out.
I'm sure it'll be great.
152
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,440
Nobody's going to shed a tear.
Well, Sully won't shed a tear,
153
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,480
no doubt about that.
But he even said, I remember
154
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,360
this, he said, you know, it was
weird coaching against Sid.
155
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,400
It'll probably be even more
weird coaching against Sid in
156
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,400
PPG.
But that's what we're going to
157
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,799
witness Saturday night.
Maybe the Pens can make it three
158
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:41,440
in a row before they head to the
road.
159
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,600
And guess what?
It's a West Coast trip, so yours
160
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,080
surely will be up late all next
week.
161
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,040
But I love it because hockey's
back.
162
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,840
All right, hockey fans, I'll see
you in the next one.
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:17,920
Hey sports Porchers, it's your
hockey Jesus, and I'm back with
2
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:23,520
game two of the Pittsburgh
Penguins versus the New York
3
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,600
Islanders.
Well, we're off to a flaming
4
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,960
start here in Pittsburgh.
Glad to see it.
5
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,440
So much better than last year.
So many different things than
6
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,520
last year.
It's just been just been a great
7
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,480
start for the Penguins.
Tonight.
8
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,440
It was the home opener I
believe.
9
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,680
They look like the crowd was was
sold out.
10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,680
You know, I thought about
heading down to the game, but I
11
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,400
had a nice set up here that I
was checking out and I got to
12
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,320
talk about sports net, but I'm
going to save that for the end
13
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,560
that sports net app.
Oh boy, stay to the end if you
14
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,240
want to hear about that.
Anyway, the Pittsburgh Penguins
15
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:04,080
win tonight 4/3 in the home
opener and boy, Tristan Jarry.
16
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,160
Let's let's start with Tristan
Jarry.
17
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:11,400
He started this game.
I just I was done with him.
18
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,720
I'd, you know, tweeting out on
the the sports porch one if if
19
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,800
you want to follow me on the on
the on the X handle, but I
20
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,200
tweeted out.
I think I think it's time to be
21
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,800
done with the Jarry experiment
just because that first goal
22
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,160
just fluttering like that, it's
just classic Jarry can't track
23
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,760
it down.
I get it.
24
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,360
You know, he's looking for a
hard shot, but still he can
25
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,160
never get those goals, seemingly
some of the easiest ones to get.
26
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,000
So Jory gives up a week 1 to
begin with, right.
27
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,840
You know, after after the pen
score boy, that power play
28
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:50,600
tonight looked great, didn't it?
Sid and Gino and what is up with
29
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,960
Erik Carlson?
Somebody please don't stop this
30
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,880
guy.
Don't wake me from this dream.
31
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,680
This is how we thought Erik
Carlson was going to play.
32
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,560
Looks like he's just flying out
there, able to just skate
33
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,240
wherever he wants.
Maybe it's because somebody's
34
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,759
always, you know, taking up the
spot at the defensive end, but
35
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:13,240
man, he looks so comfortable.
He looks happy to be out there
36
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,960
just skating around.
You know, he really hasn't
37
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,080
generated too much with that
skating.
38
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,000
But trust me, it'll happen for
sure.
39
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,760
If he can, if he can continue
down that path, I think great
40
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,600
things are going to be happening
with him.
41
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,880
Let's talk about some of the
rookies because, you know, these
42
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,240
are the guys that I'm definitely
following tonight.
43
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,440
Harrison Brunick got his first
National League goal and it was
44
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,960
the beauty right down the
middle.
45
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,240
He's not going to be pump the
brakes on Brunick and scoring
46
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,720
lots of goals.
He's not in his career.
47
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,680
If you look it up, I think the
most goals he's got in one
48
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,640
season down in the juniors was
was ten goals and I think that
49
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:56,240
was in like 59 games.
So he's not a goal scorer, but
50
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,440
if he puts himself in in a
position coming down the slot
51
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,400
like that, he can RIP it and you
saw that tonight.
52
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,400
He just looks so comfortable
with the puck.
53
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,720
You know, Holmstrom was bird
dogging him in the third period
54
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,960
and he just he just flicked them
off like that, Like, get away
55
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,040
from me.
Who are you?
56
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,480
And actually, Holmstrom cut a
penalty because he was he was
57
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,720
hooking him so much.
But man, Brunick, Brunick just
58
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,760
continues to impress.
Very impressed with that
59
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,240
youngster.
Koividen still looking a little
60
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,240
absent on that first line.
I don't know.
61
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,800
Maybe it's time to take him off.
I think Muse is going to give
62
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,960
him a longer rope to to play up
there.
63
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,080
Rumor has it that the Russ could
come back as soon as Saturday,
64
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,240
so maybe that's what they need.
Just put Russ back up on that
65
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,160
first line because I don't know.
Kovidan doesn't look like he's
66
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,120
comfortable there.
Something, something's not right
67
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,280
there.
You can just tell the
68
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,560
chemistry's not not right.
But that second line, my
69
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,000
goodness.
Tonight Brazil got the game
70
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,520
winner on a sweet pass from
Gino.
71
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,200
I had to laugh when Colby
Armstrong called it the the
72
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,400
Shrek line.
I love that nickname.
73
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,680
Colby.
Awesome job with that nickname.
74
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,400
I don't know if it's going to
stick or not, but I think it's
75
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,760
time to start bringing Shrek
dolls to PPG Arena.
76
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,440
Maybe start with on Saturday
Somebody gets a hat trick, you
77
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,040
can start throwing Shrek dolls
out out on the ice.
78
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,080
That would be freaking
hilarious.
79
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,920
But yeah, that's Shrek line.
Just just great.
80
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,120
Hard to believe that this is the
first time in Gino's career
81
00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:36,120
where he started the season out
with back-to-back multiple point
82
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,320
games.
That's really, that's really
83
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,600
kind of hard to believe with a
guy who scored that many points.
84
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,240
But it's true.
It's damn true.
85
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,120
And that's what happened
tonight.
86
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,960
He got more points.
Sid gets back on track tonight
87
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,440
with the sweet pass from Gino on
that power play.
88
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,080
Gold just stuck his stick there.
Classic Sid with the knee down.
89
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,600
Just beautiful.
I love it.
90
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,320
I'll, I'll, I'll miss it when
it's gone.
91
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,960
But you know, these boys playing
for 20 seasons in a row, Latang,
92
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,320
Malkin and Crosby, It's just
special to watch.
93
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,800
It really is.
I know it's coming to an end,
94
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,080
but I just love I I've, I've
been waiting for this for
95
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,240
probably three years now to see
some young, some young guns
96
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,600
playing with these old guys.
I just I think it's I think it's
97
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,280
working out really well, but
it's a two game sample.
98
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:28,120
OK, let's not get too crazy
about it.
99
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,040
But it is something to be
celebrating for sure.
100
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,920
Two games, four points.
That's a good way to start the
101
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,360
season.
I'm not so sure how good the two
102
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,400
teams are.
I don't think the Rangers are
103
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,600
going to be as good as they are.
We all know that the Islanders
104
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,280
are definitely going to struggle
this year and they'd look like
105
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:49,280
it today.
Sorokin didn't look too good in
106
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:53,320
gold tonight.
He gave up, probably.
107
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,160
You'd probably consider that
third goal a soft one.
108
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,720
But we'll take all the goals we
can get.
109
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,760
So Pittsburgh Penguins tonight
are winners for three.
110
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,320
And before I sign off, there's
something I got to say.
111
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,640
I got to get it off my chest.
Deep breaths.
112
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,880
Pittsburgh Sportsnet.
What is going on with your app?
113
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,560
I've been a proud sponsor and
I've given you my hard money for
114
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,400
for over 13 months now because,
you know, I, I pulled the cord.
115
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,360
So I don't have whatever is on
the television anymore.
116
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,640
YouTube doesn't get whatever
station it is.
117
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,840
So I got a stream.
I got a stream the these home
118
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:42,800
games and I'll tell you it's
ridiculous the amount of
119
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,040
buffering that goes on during
these games.
120
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,880
I don't know if you've
experienced it with your sports
121
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,040
net app.
If you have leave a message, let
122
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,840
me know.
I'd like to, you know, I think,
123
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,640
you know, misery loves company
in this in this sense.
124
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,680
So let's just get Sportsnet to
do something about this.
125
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:03,680
I have to watch it through here.
If I've got to find something
126
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,880
different, I absolutely will
because it drives me crazy when
127
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,560
I'm behind.
So I can't be on X at the same
128
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,880
time and it just is not a good
experience.
129
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,440
You know, maybe I should just
buy a season ticket plan.
130
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,040
I'm sure the Penguins would love
that.
131
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,800
I would love that, but I don't
think my wallet would like that.
132
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,880
So tonight, Pittsburgh Penguins
once again, four or three
133
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,840
winners.
Justin Brazeau with the winner
134
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,480
about 5 minutes left in the
game.
135
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,200
A little bit more and change.
A good gritty game.
136
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,200
If you go back and watch this
game, Penn showed a lot of grit
137
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,480
in this game.
There was a lot of
138
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,520
extracurricular activities, as
we like to say in the hockey
139
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,080
world.
And you know, a lot of pushing
140
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,520
and shoving after some high
sticks.
141
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,880
Duran got a high stick there at
the end, cost him a 5 minute, 5
142
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,120
minute power play in the game
misconduct.
143
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,480
He's probably going to get
suspended by the league.
144
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,280
You can't cross check somebody
in the head.
145
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,680
I don't care who it is.
He'll probably get A2 game
146
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,720
suspension, but we're not going
to play him for a while.
147
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,840
But that'll be that'll be
special for the next two games,
148
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,240
whoever plays against the
Islanders.
149
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:15,120
So next game, hey, not tomorrow
night, but Saturday night.
150
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,680
That's right, the Rangers are in
town Saturday night, Sully, the
151
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,840
Sully tribute will be out.
I'm sure it'll be great.
152
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,440
Nobody's going to shed a tear.
Well, Sully won't shed a tear,
153
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,480
no doubt about that.
But he even said, I remember
154
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,360
this, he said, you know, it was
weird coaching against Sid.
155
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,400
It'll probably be even more
weird coaching against Sid in
156
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,400
PPG.
But that's what we're going to
157
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,799
witness Saturday night.
Maybe the Pens can make it three
158
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:41,440
in a row before they head to the
road.
159
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,600
And guess what?
It's a West Coast trip, so yours
160
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,080
surely will be up late all next
week.
161
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,040
But I love it because hockey's
back.
162
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,840
All right, hockey fans, I'll see
you in the next one.
