Penguins Season Finale - Here come the Flyers

1
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,240
Hey sports Porchers, it's your
hockey Jesus and I'm back for

2
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:23,400
the last time in the regular
season as the Pittsburgh

3
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:28,160
Penguins play game #82 tonight
at Saint Louis.

4
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,760
And tonight, they still couldn't
get a win.

5
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,080
They lose 7:00 to 5:00 tonight,
a super entertaining game.

6
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,680
You know, all the stars, pretty
much sad again, just as we

7
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,880
thought would happen, except for
Saint Louis, they played all

8
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,880
their stars and they were all
out tonight.

9
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,320
Especially Jimmy Snuggarood
looked great tonight.

10
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,360
That team, I don't I'm surprised
that that team did not make the

11
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,560
playoffs.
They really have a lot of really

12
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,760
good young talent.
You know, I guess we really came

13
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,520
down the goaltending for them
and Bennington just didn't get

14
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,120
the job done enough.
So, you know, that's why we're

15
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,319
moving on the playoffs.
And they're not well.

16
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,360
We score more goals than them.
Yeah.

17
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,480
So tonight, there was a
defenseman who got a start for

18
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,960
his very first time, Jake
Livinavage.

19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,760
He played for North Dakota and
they lost in the Frozen 4.

20
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,560
He's an undrafted.
He's an undrafted signing for

21
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,840
the Pittsburgh Penguins.
And you know, you got to start

22
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:26,600
tonight.
Why not?

23
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,920
He didn't play well tonight.
You know -2 points, no shots, no

24
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,080
pedaling points.
Just it's a tough outing for

25
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,000
this kid, you know, tough to
come up in the last game of the

26
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,800
year and you're not really
playing with anybody of any

27
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:41,840
value.
I think he was.

28
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,360
I think he was out there.
I'm not sure who he's out there

29
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,880
with because they were bouncing
around all over the place.

30
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:54,280
So Pittsburgh Penguins lose,
That's three straight games the

31
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,600
Flyers won tonight.
So they actually end up with the

32
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,640
same amount of points as the
Pittsburgh Penguins.

33
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,560
I'm sure Flyers fans are going
to love that because they're

34
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,080
going to, you know, make
basically say, hey, we got the

35
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,680
same amount of points, so we're
the same team.

36
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,000
These two teams are way
different.

37
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,040
And I'm not going to go into the
preview of the Pittsburgh

38
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,520
Penguins versus the Philadelphia
Flyers.

39
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,400
That's for another day.
Provided the Pittsburgh Penguins

40
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,000
play on Saturday, I will be
giving you a review of what I

41
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,200
think the series is going to
look like either Thursday or

42
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,040
Friday.
Most likely it's going to be

43
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,360
Thursday, to be honest with you,
because you know, Friday's just

44
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,640
too close to the game and I, I'm
just going to be too excited to

45
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,080
to want to do any analysis.
My head will get into it.

46
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,000
My emotions will get into it.
I want to look at it from the

47
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,560
raw statistics standpoint.
So the Pittsburgh Penguins end

48
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:54,440
up with 41 wins and 41 losses
and 98 points on the season.

49
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,960
I tell you what, nobody saw this
coming.

50
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,600
It was actually really great
season for the Pittsburgh

51
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,680
Penguins and it's only fitting
that we're doing it late at

52
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,160
night because you know when the
play offs there are no shoot

53
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,640
outs.
Sorry to tell you that

54
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:15,080
Philadelphia Flyers fans, they
go in the overtimes 12348.

55
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,240
The Flyers in the Penguins have
a 5 overtime game in the play

56
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,320
offs.
So anything could happen in the

57
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,360
play offs.
Really looking forward to it.

58
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,200
I guess one final tidbit I want
to give you before you know we

59
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,000
move on.
Anthony Bantha, great year.

60
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:34,160
Erik Carlson, great year as
always.

61
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,840
Sidney Crosby, Mr. Consistent
point per game guy once again.

62
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,040
You know, I think that I I would
not look at these last three

63
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,360
games and say, boy, the Penguins
are slumping here at the end.

64
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,160
No, they won two really big
games both against Florida and

65
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,680
they beat the Islanders and they
beat Detroit and the only team

66
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,160
that they lost in that that
segment was against Tampa Bay.

67
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,800
So I don't really look at these
last three games as a as a bar

68
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,600
to measure because there was
very few stars.

69
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,760
We never had our full line up in
the other thing.

70
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,560
If you do want to say, well,
they were regular season games.

71
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,360
The last time the Pittsburgh
Penguins had a regular season

72
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:21,279
game, a streak of three losses,
they ended up going six and one

73
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:24,640
in the next 7.
So we don't need to win six in

74
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,920
the next series.
We only need to win 4/4 is going

75
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,920
to be the magic number from here
on out.

76
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,680
Hey, I just want to thank
everybody who's followed me

77
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,560

This was my third full season

78
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,640
for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Look, I love hockey.
I love the Pittsburgh Penguins.

82
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:56,880
Why not marry the two together
and why don't you join me next

83
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,360
year?
I'll be at it again.

84
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,840
I will be absolutely at it
through the playoffs.

85
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:03,680
Going to be a little difficult
to do it right after the game

86
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:07,760
because I'll be at both game one
and Game 2.

87
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,240
I don't know.
I don't know how that's going to

88
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,920
work, but stay tuned.
If you hit that subscribe

89
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,000
button, you will know because
I'll be coming right into your

90
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,280
living room.
So Pittsburgh Penguins lose

91
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:23,080
tonight 75-GO in the playoffs
with the three-game losing

92
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,040
streak.
But don't lose faith over that.

93
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,240
Last time that happened,
Pittsburgh Penguins went six and

94
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,200
one.
That's right, I said it twice

95
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,960
because I think it's really
important this Pittsburgh

96
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,720
Penguins team is been resilient
when they when they lose so many

97
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,960
games in a row.
They just know when to bring it

98
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,920
back.
And I have a feeling we'll see

99
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:49,400
some good hockey in game one
down at PPG.

100
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,680
Hope to see you there.
Until then, I will catch you in

101
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,320
the next one in the playoffs.
