Penguins 2-0 Road Trip with win at Calgary

1
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:07,240
Hey sports Porchers, it's your
hockey Jesus and I'm back with

2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,480
analysis of the Pittsburgh
Penguins versus the Calgary

3
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,480
Flames.
Well tonight the Pittsburgh

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,280
Penguins keep the good times
rolling with a four one win in

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,720
Calgary.
Tonight they were without Chris

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,360
Latang and Eric Carlson.
Skinner was playing on a

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,520
back-to-back night, which is a
little rare.

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,640
You know, Muse doesn't seem like
he likes that rotation.

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,640
But tonight because they play
tomorrow and Edmonton figured

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:37,120
why not play the hot hand.
And as it turns out, Skinner

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,720
with A947 save percentage
tonight was the right call,

12
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,000
although he wasn't really tested
until maybe later in the game

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,480
when the game was, I wouldn't
say out of reach, but he kept it

14
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:50,120
out of reach by having some
really nice saves in the third

15
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,960
period.
Dustin Wolf was in goal for the

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,640
Calgary Flames.
Blake Coleman still out with

17
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,240
them.
He still got a long term injury.

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,360
He hadn't played in the in the
last game.

19
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,519
Where, where, where they played
Calgary in Pittsburgh in the

20
00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:07,440
first period.
Penguins get a power play right

21
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,440
away.
And you know, Shay up on that

22
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,600
first, first power play, not too
good.

23
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,760
He's just not not quick at
distributing the puck.

24
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:17,680
He's got to get more confident
with that.

25
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,560
I think he can do it.
But honestly, I'd rather he take

26
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,080
his time to make a mistake
because you know what happens if

27
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,320
you blow up on the blue line?
You're the only one there and

28
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,040
it's off to the races if he
messes up.

29
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,800
So it didn't he didn't look too
great out there, but they didn't

30
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,440
need him tonight.
Later in that period, Gino got a

31
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,840
nice goal on a tip from Shay who
shot it from the point.

32
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,760
So you can see that there's, you
know, there's some learning

33
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,880
going on there with Latang being
out, nobody else.

34
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,400
Both Latang and Carlson are are
definitely the quarterbacks on

35
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,040
that power play.
And you know, that's probably a

36
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,120
reason why it wasn't wasn't
hasn't been too good at least

37
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,360
lately because both of those
guys have been out at some at

38
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,160
some time, either one or the
other.

39
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:04,160
Second period, not really much
going on in the second period.

40
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,080
Penguins look good.
They skated well, so did

41
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,960
Calgary, but there just wasn't
really a lot of opportunities.

42
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,240
I mean, midway through the game,
the shots were 15 to 8.

43
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,440
So I guess that was good that
the Pens were out shooting them

44
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,600
by double almost.
And then Chinnikov, Oh my God,

45
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,640
this guy's shot is just
incredible.

46
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:26,960
The way he let that wrister go
from from the slot.

47
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,560
He kind of waited till the
sticks in the bodies were out of

48
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,080
the way and he picked his spot
and man, he's just got some good

49
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,800
velocity on that shot.
He gets the go ahead goal, make

50
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,840
it well not go ahead goal, but
to make him go to go up to 1-2.

51
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,520
Nothing look like the period was
going to end till Calgary comes

52
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,960
down on the last last second
shot.

53
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,080
Really nice tip from Sharon
Govich.

54
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,080
He beat the clock.
He scored with 2.7 seconds left

55
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,800
and you know it gives you shades
of back when things were not

56
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,160
going too good for the Penguins.
But fortunately, right off the

57
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,880
bat in the third period, Sid,
the Sid line comes out Sid and

58
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,160
Rusty Rusty basically just takes
it right to the net and sits

59
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,480
there, pick up some some loose
change, knocks it in really kind

60
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,040
of a garbage goal, kind of a
greedy goal for those guys.

61
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,760
Normally they're a little bit
prettier than that, but they

62
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,840
never say how pretty.
They just say how many SO31 that

63
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:32,080
makes it 3-1 at that point.
You know, Calgary goes on a

64
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,920
power play.
But honestly, easy kill for the

65
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,520
for the Pittsburgh Penguins,
their their penalty kill right

66
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,280
now looks like they have it all
going on and that's fantastic.

67
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,160
Anytime your power play isn't
working, you want your penalty

68
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,520
kill to be top notch. 100% about
that.

69
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,760
Hey, we got some guys in the mix
here.

70
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,040
Who's that?
Looks like derpy's in the mix.

71
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,440
Hey, derpy, glad to see you made
it up.

72
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,720
You're a night owl now, man, If
you stayed up to watch the game.

73
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,400
That's right, two in a row.
Gotta love it, gotta love it.

74
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,600
Party hard is right.
Yep, lots of scoring.

75
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,200
Four goals tonight for the
Pittsburgh Penguins.

76
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,720
Novak got the 4th 1.
He was doing it in himself.

77
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,920
He was doing it himself.
Novak came down, it was a three

78
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,519
on two.
He had two guys to pass it to

79
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:20,360
and he just said, you know what,
I'm going to try this one had a

80
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,160
nifty little backhand goal right
up over Dustin Wolf's shoulder.

81
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,200
That was all she wrote.
Skinner did make a nice big save

82
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,360
around the six minute mark that
just to keep Calgary from from

83
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,520
having any chance or any thought
of coming back and that's how

84
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,920
they did it. 41, a lot of lot of
secondary scoring, a lot of

85
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,960
clamping down in the offensive
zone.

86
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,360
I really didn't see anything
from Calgary tonight.

87
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,560
I know that they don't really
have a lot of talent, but hey,

88
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,040
that's OK.
That's those are the teams you

89
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,280
want to beat.
For one, you know, they took it

90
00:04:55,280 --> 00:04:57,320
to Seattle.
I thought that Seattle game was

91
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,040
a little close coming in the 3rd
and they they hit the pedal in

92
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,640
the third period, third period.
So I love it.

93
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,240
I love the way the Pittsburgh
Penguins are playing right now.

94
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,480
I love the fact that they've
lost their two top defenders and

95
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,160
it doesn't seem like it's a
problem.

96
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,520
They play a little bit
differently.

97
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,800
They don't play as wide open.
They play a little bit clamped

98
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:18,920
down.
And I'm OK.

99
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,200
I I like that game, You know,
especially when you got a two

100
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,440
goal lead.
Clamping it down is not a

101
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,640
problem at all.
Yeah, what else can I say?

102
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,360
Oh, Valerie Pustin, Pustin in
he's gone no longer.

103
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,040
Pittsburgh Penguins.
They traded him to the Colorado

104
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:42,320
Avalanche for a 25 year old left
defenseman, Ilya Solovos.

105
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,600
Yo, Solovo, yeah, OK, I'm going
to work on that.

106
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,760
But he's not on the team quite
yet.

107
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,920
I don't know if he's going to go
down the Wilkes Barre.

108
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,040
Not really sure what's going to
happen.

109
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,320
Avalanche picked him up off of
waivers from Calgary.

110
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,920
So they probably just, you know,
we're just trading talent for

111
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,240
talent.
That's right.

112
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,120
The New York Islanders did lose
tonight, so they are second in

113
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,000
the Metropole Metro.
Thank you for that, Derpy.

114
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,040
But you know, let's not let's
not look at this.

115
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,960
I've been looking at, I've been
looking at the standings, OK.

116
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,520
And they're, they're starting to
give a little bit, a little bit

117
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,000
of space between them and that
last wild card, which is good.

118
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,280
That's good.
Because the actually the two

119
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,200
people, the two teams in the
wild card are coming from the

120
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,520
Atlantic right now.
So there's really nobody else in

121
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,960
the metro behind them.
That's kind of challenging.

122
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,920
Looks like Philadelphia's
dropping a little bit.

123
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,280
Did did did Philly win tonight?
Let's see if we we can see

124
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:46,360
what's going on with with the
with the schedules for tonight.

125
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,200
I think Philly did did lose
tonight or they played the other

126
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,400
night.
Let's see Detroit beat Toronto.

127
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,560
That doesn't really that's
actually probably better because

128
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,400
Toronto is one of those teams
behind us.

129
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,640
Philadelphia did lose in
overtime.

130
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:05,400
So they got a loser point in in
the mammoth down in the city of

131
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,480
Utah.
Washington lost.

132
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,640
We're not really chasing them.
Seattle beat the New York

133
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,440
Islanders 4 to 1.
So I don't know what's going on

134
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,800
with my camera.
It looks like looks like it's

135
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,920
too late at night for this thing
to be working.

136
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,600
I guess I'm just going to call
it from here.

137
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,400
Hey, that's all I got for you
tonight.

138
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:33,120
So tonight the Pittsburgh
Penguins, 41 winners and they

139
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,200
play again tomorrow.
They got the Edmonton Oilers on

140
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,920
on track.
So Edmonton Oilers tomorrow

141
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,920
night I'll be at a hotel.
So we'll see how that works out.

142
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,400
I'll catch you tomorrow in the
next one.

143
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:47,520
Go get some sleep.
