Penguins lose 4-3 to Anaheim Ducks.

1
00:00:11,460 --> 00:00:16,379
Hey sports Porchers, it's your
hockey Jesus and I'm back with

2
00:00:16,379 --> 00:00:21,540
the analysis of the Pittsburgh
Penguins loss to the Anaheim

3
00:00:21,540 --> 00:00:26,100
Ducks, 4:00 to 3:00.
Well, we're up early this

4
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:29,020
morning, or up late last night,
however you'd like to say it,

5
00:00:29,020 --> 00:00:33,600
but just watch the Pittsburgh
Penguins lose to the Anaheim

6
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:39,920
Ducks 4/3 and a late third
period goal by our friend Chris

7
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,920
Kreider.
I can't believe we have to go to

8
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,760
the West Coast to be beaten by
an East Coast guy like Chris

9
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,440
Kreider kills us every year.
I don't care what team he's on,

10
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,560
whether he's was playing with
the Rangers and now with the

11
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,040
Ducks, he does actually look
like he has new life out there.

12
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,320
And that, that Anaheim team, poo
man, they've got some skaters.

13
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,200
Reminds me of a young Penguins
team, to be honest with you.

14
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,440
The way they could just skate up
and down the ice.

15
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,320
The ice was wide open all night
long.

16
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:13,000
You could tell that the Penguins
didn't have the wheels to skate

17
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,280
with Anaheim, even though it
looked like at times they wanted

18
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,560
to, they just couldn't do it.
Tonight was a little bit

19
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,080
interesting and the fact that
Brunicki and Gage were out

20
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,800
tonight and in comes Domba and
Connor Clifton.

21
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,520
Well, these guys are veterans so
you figure they plug right in.

22
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,240
Dumba did not look good early, I
have to be honest with you.

23
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,960
Doesn't look comfortable
pinching in and Wotherspoon took

24
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:44,320
the that late penalty to give
him that power play goal late.

25
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:48,360
So here we go again.
We knew defense was going to be

26
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,840
a problem all year long and
tonight it really did kill us.

27
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,120
Jari once again in the first
period, Gosh, that guy just

28
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,240
looks so shaky in the first
period.

29
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,320
I don't know if it's just me, I
doubt it, but boy, he just gives

30
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,280
me no confidence in the first
period.

31
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,479
He does though, seem to get it
together by the time second

32
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:12,080
third period comes along, Seems
like he's back in the game.

33
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,280
But boy, the way he's sliding
all over the crease just doesn't

34
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,120
look like he has his angles
right.

35
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,000
He's not.
He's not under control at all.

36
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,160
Boy, he's going to be a joy to
watch all year long if he makes

37
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,600
it that long.
We're so still hot though.

38
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,440
Got the first goal and he got it
only a minute in.

39
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,080
So you know, I honestly, even
when they went up to nothing, I

40
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,360
was like poof.
This Ducks team doesn't look

41
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,680
like they they're worried about
a 2 nothing lead.

42
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,080
They just got the speed and they
got the young guns out there.

43
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,640
They don't seem like they get
worried about too much.

44
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,720
Love to see racks out there
killing penalties.

45
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,360
I think he's doing a pretty good
job with that.

46
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,400
Achary was also out tonight on
the fourth line Tomasino was in.

47
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,520
Didn't really make that much of
a difference.

48
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,520
But that Ducks power play is
deadly tonight.

49
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,640
They were two for 6, I believe.
Yeah, 2 for six on the power

50
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:10,160
play tonight. 6 power plays.
Penguins only got the one power

51
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,640
play.
And honestly, that's what

52
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:17,920
happens with teams like Anaheim
that that are fast and can

53
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:20,400
skate.
You know, unfortunately we have

54
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,840
to clutch and grab them to slow
them down.

55
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,200
It usually costs us some really
dumb penalties, though.

56
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,040
That high stick by Carlson, dumb
penalty.

57
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,200
And that last one, Wotherspoon,
you just can't do that.

58
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:37,360
I'm sorry with that power play
cooking the way it is just not

59
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,080
good.
They didn't have a lot of they

60
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,600
didn't have a lot of giveaways
though.

61
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,720
Ducks actually had more
giveaways.

62
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,520
I'm surprised to see that the
Ducks actually out hit the

63
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,480
Penguins 25 to 16.
I didn't think it was a high hit

64
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,640
game.
Clearly, you know, Anaheim Ducks

65
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,400
won't escape, but you know,
Kreider and true bub that

66
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,440
they'll still do their their
share of, you know, hitting out

67
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,160
there on the ice.
Well, that's really it for me

68
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,000
tonight, boys.
It's been a long night.

69
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,920
It's been a longer night for the
Pittsburgh Penguins tonight.

70
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,200
They lose 4-3.
Sid gets a couple points.

71
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,360
That's good.
First line looked a little bit

72
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:20,279
better, but you're going to have
to salvage a win out in San

73
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,920
Jose.
That's where they're headed

74
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,800
Thursday night.
Got to get off the slide.

75
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,080
Two in a row.
You don't want to go to three in

76
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,720
a row.
Brunicki.

77
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,880
Tonight was a scratch.
I'm sorry, Brunick.

78
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,160
Brunick.
Can't say Brunicky Brunick was a

79
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,240
scratch tonight, which don't
worry about that.

80
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,680
That's fine.
It's OK to see Brunick the

81
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,440
rookie sit up in the press box
and see the game from up above.

82
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,200
That's part of the learning
experience though.

83
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,640
Need to get worried about him
being a scratch.

84
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:53,880
He's going to be up here all
season long.

85
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,720
It's going to be part of the
experience to sit up high and

86
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,480
see how the defense, how the how
the play looks from up above.

87
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,760
And there's nothing wrong with
that tonight.

88
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,800
But I have a feeling he'll be
back in the lineup on Thursday,

89
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,960
tonight.
This morning, Pittsburgh

90
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,040
Penguins lose 4-3 to Anaheim and
a tough one.

91
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,000
Look like they were going to get
a point there.

92
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,680
But you know, I'm not a big fan
of the loser point anyway.

93
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,120
So rather see them lose, at
least try and win it in

94
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,160
regulation.
Unfortunately, that wasn't

95
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,480
happening tonight.
So hey, I'll be back Thursday

96
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,240
night when the Pittsburgh
Penguins take on the San Jose

97
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,720
Sharks.
Hey, enjoy your hockey.
