00:00:17,660 --> 00:00:23,420
Hey sports Porchers, it's your
hockey Jesus, and tonight I have

2
00:00:23,420 --> 00:00:26,780
a eulogy for the Pittsburgh
Penguins.

3
00:00:27,540 --> 00:00:30,380
Pittsburgh Penguins just lost
one nothing to the Philadelphia

4
00:00:30,380 --> 00:00:35,800
Flyers in Game 6 of Round 1.
And I tell you, this game had

5
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,920
everything in it except for a
win for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

6
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,320
But all games there's got to be
a winner and there's a loser.

7
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,520
And tonight it had to go to
overtime, almost to the second

8
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,400
overtime.
I'm not exactly sure, but it

9
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,160
there had to been only a couple
minutes left in that first

10
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:56,200
overtime period.
And boy, the Pittsburgh Penguins

11
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,400
were absolutely flying in
overtime.

12
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,440
And Vladar said, no, no, hell
no.

13
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,600
Any they get the win.
You know, Cam York just shoots

14
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,200
it, goes off the instead of
going hitting the post and going

15
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,960
out, hits the post and goes in.
Sheila's never saw it.

16
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,040
And that's it.
That's it for the Pittsburgh

17
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,200
Penguins.
If you're a Flyers fan, you have

18
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,840
a lot to be thankful for this
game.

19
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,720
Hathaway sat down.
Mitch Koff was back in.

20
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,640
He did get an assist on the
goal.

21
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,280
It does have to be said on that
goal.

22
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,880
There was some, you know, there
was some stuff going on before

23
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,760
that where it looked like the
Flyers had some stuff going on

24
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,800
and look like Kendall just
flopped on to the puck and they

25
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,680
got a stoppage of play and they
win the draw and they keep it in

26
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,240
and they shoot and they score.
So first period was, you know,

27
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,440
honestly, it was pretty much
not, not, not much going on.

28
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,760
Only couple power plays for both
teams in this game, 12-11 shots

29
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,080
Flyers in the first period.
But honestly, just a lot of back

30
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,720
and forth.
The one thing that I did not

31
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,000
like, I'm just making sure that
this wasn't Oh yeah, it was in

32
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,800
the second period.
So let's just get to the second

33
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,200
period.
Good chances by both teams in

34
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,880
the second period.
I thought the Pittsburgh

35
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,880
Penguins fourth line, our fourth
line, was absolutely fantastic

36
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,840
tonight.
Those guys will not be together

37
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,320
next year most likely, so
they'll be a completely

38
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,680
different fourth line.
I know if you're a Penguins fan,

39
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,880
you might be screaming for him,
but this is the way it works in

40
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,120
the land of hockey.
The thing that drove me crazy in

41
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,960
the second period was that
icing.

42
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,960
How can the Philadelphia Flyers
get a 5 minute break on an

43
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,520
icing?
Guys moving in and off the ice,

44
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,360
the guys going to the dresser,
they send another guy off,

45
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,120
connect me, comes out and
complaints the refs over there

46
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,600
talking to talk it.
That absolutely drove me insane.

47
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,680
I apologize to my wife for
having to hear the things she

48
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,200
had to hear during that 5 minute
period, but that was ridiculous

49
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,920
on so many levels.
But I think the Penguins did end

50
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:14,600
up getting a power play for it
right after that because I don't

51
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,040
know what they called slash on
at the end.

52
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,040
The good thing is is there were
bad calls on both sides.

53
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,120
So the referees definitely did
not were not the reason the the

54
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,600
goals were scored tonight or not
scored tonight or one team won.

55
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:30,760
The the rest were evenly pretty
bad on both ends.

56
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,000
Tough to be good in a game six
in a heated, heated rivalry like

57
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,640
this.
But at the end of the second,

58
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,920
there was a there was a scrum at
the end of the period and

59
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,200
connect me smashes Latang's face
and the rest didn't see that.

60
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,280
And then Latang slams connecting
down the ground.

61
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,920
They saw that.
You know, once again, I don't

62
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,160
care if that doesn't matter.
That's just part of the hockey

63
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,920
game.
You know, I'm not here to

64
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,000
complain about that because
honestly, Philadelphia's power

65
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,800
play was awful.
So they didn't really even take

66
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,360
advantage of that when it comes
to it.

67
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,640
Lot of breakaways tonight.
Mitchie had a breakaway.

68
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,640
He's probably the only one some
short handed attempts for the

69
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,720
Penguins doer I thought had a
pretty good chance on some of

70
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,440
those short handed in the third
period.

71
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:20,399
Man towards the end Novak hits a
post, Russ can't jam it in and

72
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:23,560
you know, nice saves by Vladar.
Good job of keeping that puck

73
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,560
out of there.
If you watch the replay on that,

74
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,920
he hit it, then he hit it second
time and the pucks fluttering

75
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,000
and then just just manages to
come out.

76
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,200
Well, yeah.
And then in in the overtime,

77
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,360
Antha giving it up at the blue
line and she lost just makes

78
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,760
that nice save.
There was a scrum once again,

79
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,480
Ladar to the rescue.
And then eventually it ends up

80
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,960
with Cam York being your hero
for the Philadelphia Flyers,

81
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:54,320
absolutely bearing a shot off
the post and into the net.

82
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,560
Boy, that was disappointing as a
Pittsburgh Penguins fan.

83
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,520
But you know what?
As a hockey fan, I truly

84
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,600
appreciate playoff hockey is so
great to be back even though we

85
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,280
only got to play six games this
time around.

86
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:11,600
The Pittsburgh Penguins streak
continues of not winning a

87
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,560
series and the fires get to move
on.

88
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,840
They get to play.
Wait, got to do something real

89
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:20,760
quick here.
That's right, you'll love this.

90
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:26,440
Flyers fans, the Penguins are
officially bounced.

91
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,040
That's right, they're out of the
playoffs.

92
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:34,240
So the worst thing about this is
not how late it is, because it's

93
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,520
really not that late.
I've stayed up later for games.

94
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,680
It's that on Monday, if you're a
Philadelphia Flyers fan out

95
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:46,560
there, stop by the porch at 7:00
on Monday night and you'll get

96
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,680
to see yours truly, the Hockey
Jesus.

97
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:56,280
I think the Grand Swabini has a
jersey that I'm going to wear

98
00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:58,680
and I think it has Giroux on the
back.

99
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,920
So that's going to be a terrible
show for me.

100
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,120
But you know what, when you make
a bet, you got to pay up and I

101
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,640
will absolutely pay up.
The boys, the Philadelphia

102
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,120
Sports Porch and I made a bet
and they win.

103
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:14,640
But you know what, this game,
this series was always going to

104
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,960
go 6 or 7.
The way it went about was really

105
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,480
crazy.
Fires went in through to

106
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,720
Pittsburgh winning to this close
to taking it to a Game 7, and

107
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,120
good for the Philadelphia Flyers
to finally break it out.

108
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,840
Hey, even if they weren't the
best team in overtime, that's

109
00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:33,320
usually how it works.
The team that gets all the

110
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,720
opportunities has to bury one of
those because eventually it's

111
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,160
going to come back the other
way.

112
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,480
And that's just the way it is.
Yeah, Derpy I am.

113
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,360
I'm beyond depressed at this
point.

114
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:52,200
But now we got no more Penguins
hockey, but we still do have an

115
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,880
NHL hockey, so I guess it's not
all bad.

116
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,720
And we did get to see six games.
So boy, I really hate to sign

117
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,960
off this early.
Only 7 minutes in.

118
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,680
I don't see any Flyers fans
chirping me on the on the on the

119
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,720
comments.
So I think I'm just going to

120
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,880
leave it at that.
The Carolina Hurricanes will

121
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:17,960
play the Philadelphia Flyers in
round two of the playoffs.

122
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,160
I have no idea what's going to
happen.

123
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,080
I will absolutely do a eulogy on
the Pittsburgh Penguins season.

124
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,160
I don't know, maybe over the
weekend.

125
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,280
Stop by, you'll see it.
If you know what, if you hit

126
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,240
that subscribe button and you
hit that bell, then you'll see

127
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:39,040
it pop right into your YouTube,
right in your DMS. I'll be

128
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,760
there.
I hope you like what I did with

129
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:46,120
the series this year.
Super fun to absolutely do a

130
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,360
playoff series involving the
Pittsburgh Penguins.

131
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,880
I can't wait until we do this
again next year.

132
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,520
I will be back with game one,
with round one and round two

133
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,240
analysis of some games.
I don't know which one I'm going

134
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,800
to follow.
Maybe I'll follow the Flyers,

135
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,360
Why not?
Maybe I'll follow the Flyers and

136
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,000
Carolina.
Although boy, I tell you what, I

137
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,240
really love that Montreal Tampa
Bay series.

138
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,120
If you're not watching that
derpies already chirping the

139
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,640
fires, he says Carolina's going
to sweep the Flyers.

140
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,160
Carolina's a really tough team.
I'll tell you what I would even

141
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,640
if we did happen that, and I'm
not even going to talk about

142
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:22,880
games of it.
It's over.

143
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,640
The Penguins lost.
OK, I'm going to shut up about

144
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,440
that.
Now, is Carolina going to sweep

145
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,360
the Flyers?
I wouldn't call for a sweep, but

146
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,520
I'm not also calling for a
Flyers win.

147
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,280
But I didn't in this series
either.

148
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,799
So, so be it.
That's all she wrote for the

149
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:40,919
Pittsburgh Penguins.
Congratulations to the

150
00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:45,840
Philadelphia Flyers moving on in
A10 win in overtime.

151
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:52,240
Dan Vladar with 42 or 44 saves
tonight was just fantastic.

152
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,120
He's going to need some rest.
He's going to have a lot harder

153
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,840
time against those Carolina
Hurricanes.

154
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,560
That's it for the hockey Jesus.
I hope you enjoyed it.

155
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,000
I will see you over the weekend.
Hit that button.

156
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:11,920
I'm going to give you a little
bit of a depression look at the

157
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,120
Pittsburgh Penguins this year.
I'm just, I'm just, I can't

158
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,960
speak anymore.
I'm just too depressed.

159
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,000
