Pens hot start beat San Jose 3-0.

1
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,960
All right, sports, Porchers,
hockey Jesus, and I'm going live

2
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:17,560
here after the Pittsburgh
Penguins win against tonight.

3
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:22,560
They played against the San Jose
Sharks, taking two out of three

4
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,840
on the West Coast trip.
Pretty impressive.

5
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,400
I have to say that Pittsburgh
Penguins are definitely off to a

6
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:33,400
hot start here in 2526.
Tonight it was just a team

7
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,040
effort.
Once again, there's no

8
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,320
superstars on this team right
now.

9
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,480
Well, of course they have Sidney
Crosby, always a superstar no

10
00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:44,600
matter what happens.
But I can tell you what, this

11
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,720
team, this game tonight was
really interesting lot.

12
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,160
So many shots in the first and
second period.

13
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:53,040
They had basically a whole game
worth of shots.

14
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,800
Both teams did in the first and
second period.

15
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,400
Then it's kind of slowed down.
That first goal really slowed

16
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:04,560
things down, I think that the
Penguins got and second period.

17
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,240
But I don't really know what to
say about this team.

18
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,360
They're they're just pretty
impressive right now.

19
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,600
They're playing a full, they're
playing a full team game.

20
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:19,320
On top of that, I just have to
say that Sidney Crosby's line,

21
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,480
it's going OK, but that second
line, my goodness, it's been

22
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,640
called the Shrek line.
It's been called the Monster

23
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,520
line, it's been called the big
line.

24
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,760
I don't know what you can call
anything but hot.

25
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,200
It's just super hot right now.
Brunicki, I'm sorry, Mantha

26
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:42,560
together with Gino and Brazeau,
just an just an amazing

27
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,040
combination.
I don't know why they worked

28
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,920
well together.
Maybe it's because it's a

29
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,360
combination of they're not very
fast, but they just know where

30
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,840
each other are going to be on
the ice.

31
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,640
That that chemistry.
You can't explain it, but you

32
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,640
can see it and you can
definitely see it on the ice

33
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,880
when those three are together.
Been playing great together.

34
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,680
That third line tonight, Kendall
gets five shots in the first two

35
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:05,960
period.
They were saying that was the

36
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,919
most shots for for a rookie for
the Penguin since Jordan Stall.

37
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:16,280
Lot of Jordan Stall comparisons
with these rookies, which is a

38
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,080
great comparison to have because
if you remember that year the

39
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,240
Jordan Stahl stayed up.
He wasn't supposed to stay up,

40
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,360
but they couldn't help but keep
him up and wouldn't you know it

41
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,720
was a good thing they did
because he was instrumental in

42
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,440
that 2009 Stanley Cup.
I'm not saying this team's

43
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,120
winning the Stanley Cup, but I
can tell you with a four two

44
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,840
start, very impressive start for
the Pittsburgh Penguins that put

45
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:48,160
some firmly in a a playoff spot.
Project this out for the year

46
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,920
and they end up at 109 points.
Now probably won't happen that

47
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:55,280
way for the Pittsburgh Penguins,
but I can tell you even if they

48
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,880
would have lost tonight, they
would have been at 82 points,

49
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,480
which is still a borderline
playoff team.

50
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,960
So there's not a lot of there's,
you know, six games in you if

51
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,480
you don't want to make too many
conclusions about things

52
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,240
because, you know, a lot of
things can go bad and they can

53
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,840
go bad quickly.
But the one thing you can say

54
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,680
about this team and Dan Muse in
particular, the system he runs

55
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,880
allows goalies like Tristan Jari
to play really well.

56
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,520
Getting a shut out tonight
looking great.

57
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,760
And, you know, I think it's just
good.

58
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,920
I think it could be positive
things for the future for this

59
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:33,800
team, but I don't want to get
ahead of myself.

60
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,280
Every time I start talking about
the the the Penguins in such a

61
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,760
positive way, things tend to go
downhill.

62
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,200
What else happened tonight?
Tanger gets his 598th assist,

63
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,960
Sid gets his 16194 points.
So Sid's only 6 points away from

64
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,720
1700 points.
Just amazing.

65
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:58,720
Gino with his 1300 and 55th
point, I forget he passed

66
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,360
somebody.
He passed two people tonight

67
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,960
with his two point game.
Jarry was excellent, second

68
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,360
line, still smoking.
The only thing I guess I really

69
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,040
have that's negative to say
about this team is why isn't

70
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,240
Owen Pickering being a part of
this team?

71
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,000
If you're a Pittsburgh Penguins
fan, you know, though, and

72
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,880
Pickering played quite a bit
last year for us and this year

73
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,120
he has yet to step on the ice
for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

74
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,640
Come on, he's got to be as good
as Caleb Jones.

75
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,520
I mean, why can't he be up here
for this?

76
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,840
I I just don't under.
That's the one thing I don't

77
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:34,000
understand.
I know a lot of people are

78
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,760
talking about, you know, guys
like Kendall and Brunick

79
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,880
sitting.
I don't mind them sitting for a

80
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,960
game knowing that they're going
to actually be out there for the

81
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,320
season.
Now, Kendall probably won't be,

82
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,760
but Kendall seemed to respond
pretty positively today with all

83
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,120
these shots.
Now, he didn't score, but he's

84
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,440
not he's not going to be a guy
who's going to score every

85
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,080
night.
Russ seems to be getting in the

86
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,000
groove with Sid, although they
didn't have any goals tonight as

87
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,160
a line.
Well, that's not true.

88
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:12,880
You know, Sid gets that tip in
So but but really, I don't know.

89
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,520
I I just don't see that line,
you know, popping like they used

90
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,480
to, you know, with the cycling
with Sid and Jido and racks and

91
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,960
racks, racks been shooting the
puck not on the net lately.

92
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,520
That's probably another negative
I could bring up.

93
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,960
But overall, the Pittsburgh
Penguins with a four and two

94
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,200
record on the season, no
overtime games yet.

95
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,280
You know me, you know the hockey
Jesus, you know us here on the

96
00:05:36,280 --> 00:05:38,640
sports porch.
We don't like that loser point.

97
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,200
So you'll never hear a four, two
and one record.

98
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,280
You would hear, you know, a four
and three record with 9 points.

99
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,200
Now, that could happen.
But right now, there's been no

100
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,520
overtime games.
There's been no reason to talk

101
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,680
about that.
But that's the way it is.

102
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,760
So tonight, the Pittsburgh
Penguins are victorious.

103
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,280
They take two out of three on
the West Coast and they're

104
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:04,800
coming home for some home
cooking.

105
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,320
They don't play again till
Tuesday, but three of the next

106
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:12,360
four are at home, including that
Saturday Columbus game where

107
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,200
they're bringing back the old
timers.

108
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,040
They're bringing back their
their Hall of Fame, the

109
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,680
Pittsburgh Penguins Hall of
Fame.

110
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,400
I know Francis and Stevens are
part of it and I think Eddie

111
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:29,760
Johnson and Scotty Bowman are.
So try to get tickets to that.

112
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,240
Pittsburgh Penguins I don't
understand why I can't just buy

113
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,800
1 ticket.
I guess I have to buy my own

114
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,360
seat and then I could buy a
ticket to to the ceremony.

115
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,320
I might try that later on.
I I think that'd definitely be

116
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,400
worth going to.
So tonight Pittsburgh Penguins

117
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:51,240
win 3 nothing in a shutout by
Tristan Jarry and they're four

118
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,040
and two on the season.
I hope you've been enjoying the

119
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,800
