Penguins win 3 in a row.

1
00:00:28,060 --> 00:00:32,540
Hey sports Porchers, it's your
hockey Jesus and I'm back with

2
00:00:32,540 --> 00:00:36,580
analysis of the Pittsburgh
Penguins third win in a row,

3
00:00:36,820 --> 00:00:40,300
beating the Vancouver Canucks
tonight by a score of 5 to 1.

4
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,040
What about this Pittsburgh
Penguins team?

5
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,000
I I just can't say enough good
things about them.

6
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,440
You know, the first half of this
game was meh, you know, didn't

7
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,360
really know where this game was
going to go.

8
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,160
And then, you know, about 6
minutes, 6 minutes left, the

9
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,120
Penguins get a power play goal
and 6 minutes left in the second

10
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,480
period, Pens get a power play
goal.

11
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,360
You know, just one of those
seeing eye ones.

12
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,440
Wotherspoon just kind of send it
towards the net, got tipped a

13
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,960
couple times and boom, right in
the back of the net it went.

14
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:15,640
And boy, they just got secondary
scoring.

15
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,120
All four lines score tonight.
I just, I, I can't say enough

16
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,680
good things about this team
right now just because it is on

17
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,880
fire.
Brazeau scores again tonight.

18
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,640
That third, that second line
still remains hot.

19
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,240
Everything about this team right
now is gelling and I think that

20
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,040
all has to do with Muses system.
It seems like when they get a

21
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,680
lead, they're very confident and
not just keeping the lead, but

22
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,240
knowing that if they just press
a little bit more, they're

23
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,760
going, they're going to get
goals and the other team is just

24
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,320
going to struggle.
I thought the real, I thought

25
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,440
that I thought everything that
that worked out well for the

26
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,720
Pittsburgh Penguins had
everything to do with about 3

27
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:02,320
minutes left.
There was a series where

28
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,280
Vancouver was coming hard and
this was after Sid scored his

29
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,680
goal.
Also, if you didn't know that

30
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,920
goal by Sidney Crosby heard this
on the radio gave him 896 points

31
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:16,640
total.
That's both playoffs and regular

32
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:19,240
season and put them ahead of the
great one.

33
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,600
Mario Lemieux for all time
leader and points for the

34
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,080
Pittsburgh Penguins.
Now, it's not the regular

35
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,000
season, so they're not going to
stop the game and and and you

36
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,520
know, go crazy about that.
But that's a significant

37
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,240
achievement and somebody's got
to say it.

38
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,360
So the hockey Jesus is telling
you via the radio.

39
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,640
I have to say, I have to say I
was listening to the guys on the

40
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:46,600
radio a little bit on the on the
car on the way in and man, those

41
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,240
guys really got the statistics.
And there's one for you, a

42
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,440
little tidbit.
But with the with about 3

43
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,520
minutes left after Sid did score
that goal, Vancouver was

44
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,960
pressing hard.
They had a really nice shot

45
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,840
right in the slot, high danger
shot.

46
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,280
She lost with a good save and
then a rebound and she lost was

47
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,520
all over the rebound.
Also, he went to jump on the

48
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,600
puck and he kind of missed it,
which was convenient for the

49
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,280
Penguins because right away they
went up the ice.

50
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,040
I don't know where Gino's
getting all this energy, but

51
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,440
leading the rush up the ice.
Well, actually he I think he

52
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,440
passed it to somebody on the
boards, probably was Mantha.

53
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,440
And right up the middle shoots
it right on goal and right in

54
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:35,040
that was the dagger right there
goes up four one with about a

55
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,800
little more than two minutes
left in the second period,

56
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,400
pretty much over after that.
You can see that Vancouver was

57
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,960
demoralized leaving the ice as
Phil Bork pointed out on the

58
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,520
radio.
Also, I just love the way this

59
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,120
this team is moving.
And then hey, how about it in

60
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,360
the third period, Latang got his
599th earlier in the game.

61
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,560
Why not get your six hundredth
assist all time in his career?

62
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,800
What was it?
It was the 20th east, the 20th

63
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,240
defenseman all time to get to
the 600 points.

64
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:12,160
Amazing, great feat for Letang
Brazeau's hot.

65
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,680
The only thing that I can say
about this Penguins where I'm

66
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,720
I'm going to be a little bit of
a downer here and I'm not going

67
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,800
to end on that note, but the
teams that the Pittsburgh

68
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,640
Penguins have played against are
12 and 23.

69
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,440
Now that was coming into
tonight.

70
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,280
So and I know Vancouver was four
and two on the season.

71
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,400
And if you want to check me, I
put all the ties.

72
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,520
All the ties go is a loss in my
category.

73
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:42,640
I don't care about points.
There were there.

74
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,120
There are losses in my book.
I know you still get a point for

75
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,440
it.
Don't chastise me for that.

76
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,400
But 12 and 23 on the season are
the teams that they've played

77
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,480
against.
So, you know, might wanna not

78
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,480
start the parade yet for the
playoffs or or Stanley Cup

79
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,040
championship because they got
some tough games coming up.

80
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,920
Why not do it the next game
against Florida, the reigning

81
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,600
Stanley Cup champions?
Now they're hurt.

82
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,760
Granted, they're playing.
Tonight.

83
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:18,160
They were playing, they're
playing up in Boston tonight, so

84
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,880
they're going to have to make
the trip back down to Florida.

85
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,240
So they're not going to be well
rested, but no team is because

86
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:30,480
there's not a lot of time off
because, you know, Olympics are

87
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,040
coming up.
So we got a lot of games every

88
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,760
other night, which I love.
I hope you love it too.

89
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,840
Hey, I'm about done here, but
before I go, I encourage you to

90
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:44,960
smash that subscribe button.
Hit the bell, because I'm here

91
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,400
after every Pittsburgh Penguins
game.

92
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,720
I'm doing them live now.
Why not?

93
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,040
It's fun to do them live.
I did have some video teed up,

94
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,760
but it's having a little bit of
technical difficulty.

95
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,920
I don't want to, I don't want to
mess this up.

96
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,640
So tonight the Pittsburgh
Penguins are off to a flying

97
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,960
start.
They're five and two on the

98
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,640
season.
That gives them a projected 117

99
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,280
points for the season.
That's definitely a playoff

100
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:16,400
spot.
In fact, if they go on a 2 game

101
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,440
losing streak now, they'll still
be in a playoff spot.

102
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,320
It'll be close cuz they'll be
right around 90 points.

103
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,160
That's the that's the mark where
you need to be to get into the

104
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,040
playoffs these days, maybe a
little bit more.

105
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,160
So hey, they're giving
themselves a little bit of a

106
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,560
cushion.
They have a little bit of a

107
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,840
downturn, but if they keep
buying into this, and I can tell

108
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:40,960
you when Sidney Crosby sees he's
in a playoff spot, I know he

109
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,000
doesn't want to give up that
playoff spot.

110
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:45,480
You know, he wants to be back in
the playoffs.

111
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,800
He is dying to get back in the
playoffs.

112
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,800
So hey, you never know all that
Gavin McKenna talk and just go

113
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,960
away for now.
It might be back when they start

114
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,600
playing against good teams.
We'll see.

115
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,760
We'll see what Muse can do.
So hey, Thursday night,

116
00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:06,080
Pittsburgh Penguins play against
the Florida Panthers and Yep,

117
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,760
it's a 7:00 start.
So until then, hockey fans,

118
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,560
enjoy the hockey and I'll catch
you in the next one.
