Penguins HOF Night Shootout Loss CBJ

1
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,560
Hey, sports Porchers, it's your
hockey Jesus, and I'm back with

2
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,960
analysis of the Pittsburgh
Penguins Hall of Fame Game

3
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,920
versus the Columbus Blue
Jackets.

4
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,520
Well, tonight the Pittsburgh
Penguins celebrate four of the

5
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,000
greatest players and coaches
that have ever played in

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,200
Pittsburgh or coached in
Pittsburgh.

7
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,840
That's Eddie Johnson, Scotty
Bowman and Ron Francis and Kevin

8
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,800
Stevens, just a great night for
them.

9
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,640
Congratulations to those
gentlemen.

10
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,920
They deserve every accolade they
get.

11
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,240
They are.
They were all instrumental in

12
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,560
both of those Stanley Cups in
the early 90s.

13
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,480
One 100% wish that the the boys
could have brought home a win

14
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:57,440
for him tonight, but they had to
settle for A5 four overtime

15
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,080
slash shoot out loss tonight for
the Pittsburgh Penguins.

16
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,080
Yeah, they did gain a loser
point.

17
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,600
But if you know me, you're
hockey Jesus.

18
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:11,160
I don't like to play in terms
of, you know, 6-2 and one.

19
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,920
I will call it a six and three
record with 13 points.

20
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,960
So just so you know where I'm
coming from.

21
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,080
But overall, this game was very
interesting.

22
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,320
I thought that Columbus for the
most part of the game really

23
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:26,160
outplayed the Pittsburgh
Penguins coming in.

24
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:29,120
Columbus was coming off of a a
game last night.

25
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,080
Washington, you know with the
3-4 record, Columbus really

26
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,080
doesn't want to get too far
behind the 8 ball here.

27
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,920
So they were really looking for
a win.

28
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,880
In some ways them us stealing a
point off of them tonight kind

29
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,480
of takes the sting a little bit
off of the fact that the

30
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,880
Penguins did lose MERS.
Lincoln's coming in with this

31
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,520
927 save percentage and she loft
with a 9/19 save percentage.

32
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,800
I was looking to see a really
low scoring game, but you know,

33
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,160
right off the bat MERS Lincoln
giving up a goal and you know,

34
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,920
despite being outplayed in the
first period dramatically, I

35
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:10,000
thought the pens were still
winning two one boy, I don't

36
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,480
really know what to say.
Dumbo had a big hit there, you

37
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,800
know, caused the fight.
Couple of the guys who were out

38
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:21,280
who I don't like see being out,
you know, with Ben Kindle and

39
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,560
and Brunick Harrison Brunick,
the two rookies.

40
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,440
I hate when they're out more
than a couple games.

41
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,160
And I'm wondering if Dubis just
isn't buying some time to see

42
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,400
what he has to do to keep these
guys up here for the remainder

43
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,720
of the year.
And they're he's just scratching

44
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,040
them to to buy some time.
I know he probably does want to

45
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,120
get some of these veterans into
the game, especially Domba who's

46
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,400
only played in the second game
and Clifton who's only played in

47
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,080
his third game.
Frankly, I don't think these

48
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,520
guys need to play more than
every fifth game or fourth game.

49
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,240
So I don't know, maybe, maybe
it's OK, But anyway, I I I

50
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,040
digress because I really want to
see those rookies playing.

51
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,440
I think that's what this year is
about.

52
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,480
But in the first period, you
know, having a 21 lead after,

53
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,080
you know, playing pretty
terribly, not not a bad, not a

54
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,080
bad outcome for the Penguins.
And the second, you know, looks

55
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,440
like Pittsburgh was going to
take a three one lead with that

56
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,320
wild power play.
That probably was a goal.

57
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,760
But if you can't see the puck go
over and into the ice

58
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,240
emphatically, sure look like Sid
thought it was a goal.

59
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,520
So I bet he did see it go over.
But he had the best look at it

60
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,280
on the ice.
But it's all about the cameras

61
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,480
these days.
So that's a no goal.

62
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,200
And Columbus honestly looked
like they wanted it more and

63
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,960
they tied the game up to two.
And then in the third period, my

64
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,800
goodness, the tale of two
periods, right?

65
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,560
1st 10 periods, all Columbus
taking a 4-2 lead, just

66
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,440
completely out working the
Penguins.

67
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,080
And then Latang gets that power
play goal to make it 4:00 to

68
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,040
3:00.
And just as Sheila was going out

69
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,600
off on the ice, Rusty gets his
first of the year.

70
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,640
That was Latang's first of the
year also.

71
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,600
So, you know, they tie it up
look like look like they were

72
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,200
going to go the overtime.
And lately I've been down on the

73
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,640
three on three overtime just
because I think, you know, been

74
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,519
there, done that.
A lot of guys just peel off and

75
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:21,360
you know that you play the
waiting game.

76
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,280
Tonight was the exact opposite.
Tonight's three on three

77
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:28,320
overtime was just fantastic.
Really love the way both teams

78
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,760
were going at it, making the
goalies make some 10 bell saves.

79
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,600
And it happened on both ends,
especially with the defense

80
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,680
been, you know, knocking that
puck off of the goal line there

81
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,760
to save a goal against Columbus.
So they go do a shootout.

82
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,080
And once again, you think, OK,
goalies are playing great.

83
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,840
Everybody's going to get stoned.
It's going to take a lucky shot

84
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:53,000
to go in.
And everybody for Columbus

85
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,520
shoots and scores.
Everybody for the Pittsburgh

86
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,640
Penguins shoots and scores
except Gino on the third try.

87
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,760
Columbus wins 5 to 4 and I, I
actually think that Columbus did

88
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,680
deserve to win this game.
And I, I, I, so, you know, I'm

89
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,840
not, I'm not too down on the
pens tonight because of that.

90
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:18,280
I thought the first line for the
most part was stale at some at

91
00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:23,000
one point about 50 minutes into
the game, everybody was a -, 2,

92
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,560
including Sid, Rust and Raquel.
They had seven shots and no

93
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,680
goals to, you know, show for
their effort.

94
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,080
I thought their effort was
lacking.

95
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,920
I also thought that third line
that they had in there with

96
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,280
Tomasino, Novak and Hollander, I
don't know.

97
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:39,840
They just were not impressive to
me.

98
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:41,680
They didn't look like they were
making a lot of plays.

99
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,320
The fourth line, however, I
thought was was taking it to

100
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,320
them.
I I think that fourth line's a

101
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,240
good fourth line seems like they
score like every other game.

102
00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:57,400
So I, I say keep that, keep that
fourth line together at Atari.

103
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,120
I wasn't a big fan of him last
year, but I love him playing on

104
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,440
the on the fourth line with
Lizotte.

105
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,280
Lizotte, like I said, you know,
he's that water bug out there.

106
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,080
He's he, he, he drew another
penalty tonight, although maybe

107
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,480
it wasn't a penalty, maybe it
was a fake penalty.

108
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,640
I hope Columbus bench didn't
like that in the third period.

109
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,920
But hey, they got it.
So I like that fourth line.

110
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,320
I thought was playing well.
Mantha got another had two

111
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,880
points in the first period.
Really looked great.

112
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,080
Maybe it was those shoes that
his that his daughter made for

113
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,480
him.
I don't know if you show him I

114
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,720
may actually make that the
thumbnail for tonight, but I'll

115
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:32,960
probably make it the Hall of
Fame.

116
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:36,920
But that if you don't get a
chance, get a close up of that,

117
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,920
that shot of his daughter rating
on her shoes kind of cute being

118
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,880
a former.
Well, I'm still a dad, but you

119
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,680
know, my, my parent, my kids are
all grown up and gone at this

120
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,800
point.
But you know, kind of kind of

121
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,680
warms my heart to see that
knowing that, you know, he's a

122
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,080
dad.
He's daddy's girl.

123
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,720
I guess that's how you say it
these days.

124
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,840
Hey, sorry about my hair
tonight.

125
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,600
I I just had a rough day feeling
a little sick all day.

126
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:02,880
I know you don't care about
that.

127
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,320
You care about the Penguins, and
I'm glad you do.

128
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,960
And if you do, you know what hit
that subscribe button.

129
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,840
I'm here after every single
Pittsburgh Penguins game,

130
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,120
telling it like it is What's
what's the last thing I want to

131
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,000
leave with Ohio.
Let's talk about that.

132
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:22,000
That first period goal that the
that the Blue Jackets got where

133
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,360
Muse decided to challenge.
That was a bad challenge.

134
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,320
I know the guys on the
television were like defending

135
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:30,920
it.
Use is going to have to get a

136
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,840
little bit better with those
challenges.

137
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,680
I mean it just didn't pass the
sniff test.

138
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,760
Yeah, OK, he technically he was
into the goalie, but when the

139
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,880
pucks already there, you're
never going to win it.

140
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,520
And you can see it only took him
about 5 seconds to decide that

141
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,040
was a no goal.
So news is going to have to get

142
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,200
better with that.
But I've got no I've got no

143
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,640
problems with it.
The one thing that the counselor

144
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,520
and I were texting with, if you
know who the counselor is, he'll

145
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,320
be on a show real soon.
He's my buddy.

146
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,000
We've been watching hockey for
35 years now together.

147
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,120
He was at the game, wanted me to
go.

148
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,760
I just, I just couldn't go.
I was not feeling up to it.

149
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,720
I wish I could have because I
really wanted to be at the Hall

150
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,880
of Fame Game to celebrate with
those guys.

151
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,240
But he did notice the same
thing.

152
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,680
I noticed.
Check out the defenseman when

153
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,880
they get the puck, they're
always running to the back of

154
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,360
the goal.
And that's going to cause

155
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,840
problems against teams that, you
know, a really aggressive on the

156
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,400
four check.
And I think it caused some

157
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,840
problems tonight, especially on
that that that tying goal, or

158
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,039
maybe it was the third goal
where where Wotherspoon just

159
00:08:34,039 --> 00:08:36,640
completely blew it.
Actually, I can tell you where

160
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,760
it where it was.
Wotherspoon blew it on the yeah,

161
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,840
on the one that tied up.
It was a 22.

162
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:44,560
Go out and check the footage of
that.

163
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:47,680
Wilderspoon just completely blew
it, got out, worked, and then he

164
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:51,440
got that pass right out to the
front of the net and Sheila had

165
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,280
no chance of getting it.
So tonight, the Pittsburgh

166
00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:00,680
Penguins lose.
They gain a loser point, but I'm

167
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:05,000
not a big fan of loser point.
That makes 13 points in nine

168
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,560
games.
That means that the Pittsburgh

169
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:13,000
Penguins are on pace for 118
point season.

170
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,720
That's definitely a playoff
season.

171
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:21,280
That's definitely a top three in
the in the Metro Conference if

172
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:22,720
they can keep that up for the
year.

173
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,000
Who do they got coming up next?
Thanks for asking.

174
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,440
They have they have on Monday
they play Saint Louis, they're

175
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,200
at home and then they go on the
road for four in a row.

176
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,720
So get your tickets now head
down to the arena.

177
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,360
Monday's going to be your last
chance for a little while to see

178
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,600
the boys play and let's just
hope they can get back on the

179
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,640
winning, winning track.
They got to they got to keep up

180
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,720
this this good play.
Hopefully racks injury there to

181
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,440
his hand when he blocked that
shot.

182
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,920
Hopefully he didn't break
anything and he'll be back.

183
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,480
If not, I guess you can expect
to see Kendall staying in a

184
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,000
lineup.
So Pittsburgh Penguins lose

185
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,160
tonight, the Columbus Blue
Jackets 5 to 4, gain a point,

186
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:10,960
are six and three on the season
with a 13 points on the season.

187
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,480
And that's it for tonight.
I'll catch you in the next one.
