00:00:19,070 --> 00:00:23,550
Hey sports Porchers, it's your
hockey Jesus and I'm back with
2
00:00:23,550 --> 00:00:29,590
analysis of a 5 two loss in
Winnipeg's for the Pittsburgh
3
00:00:29,590 --> 00:00:31,550
Penguins.
Well tonight the Penguins
4
00:00:31,550 --> 00:00:33,710
couldn't extend their streak to
9 games.
5
00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:37,360
It's going to end at 8:00
tonight, really this afternoon.
6
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,040
Let's face it, they, they just
weren't in this game from the
7
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,520
very beginning.
Two goals in the first 3 minutes
8
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,000
for the Winnipeg Jets.
Hey, speed kills.
9
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,160
What can I say?
When when you got that much
10
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:52,960
speed and you're as talented as
the Winnipeg Jets, You know,
11
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,800
Penguins were in first place in
the NHL.
12
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,400
We, we knew that wouldn't last.
Well, let's face it and Winnipeg
13
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,000
is a very talented team.
Hey, they didn't even face Hella
14
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,280
Buck tonight, but still lost
nonetheless.
15
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,480
The backup goal is undefeated
too.
16
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,760
So that Winnipeg team's super
talented, love the way they
17
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,600
play.
They did tell off in the third
18
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,360
period a little bit, but maybe
that was just because just
19
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,200
because they had such they were
leading so much they they could
20
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,160
have scored that first line,
could have scored eight goals
21
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,600
tonight.
That's what Colby said and I
22
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,040
totally agree with him.
The other thing the Pens had
23
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,960
going against them tonight, this
afternoon was that Brazeau was
24
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:37,440
kind of a surprise out.
He has an upper body injury and
25
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,560
he's day-to-day.
So Thomasino gets called up off
26
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,720
the scratch line and joins the
second line and really did
27
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,560
nothing with them all night.
Tough afternoon for Sheila.
28
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:53,120
If he was 833 save percentage at
one point tonight, I was
29
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,600
surprised that because of the
Brazeau injury they kept that
30
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,560
kid line together.
So I like that Kendall Novak and
31
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,040
Koven and still playing together
on that third line.
32
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,400
They looked a little sussed
tonight against some speed for
33
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,800
sure.
I I still like their I still
34
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,200
like their energy in the
offensive zone, but they got
35
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,800
definitely some work to do in
the defensive zone.
36
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,680
So yeah, like I said, first two
shifts, the thing that really,
37
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,960
really bothered me was Brunick.
Brunick and Pickering were
38
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,840
playing together for the very
first time.
39
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:31,600
They get a start and on the very
first shift they give up a goal.
40
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,200
And the second time they were
out there, they also gave up a
41
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,760
goal.
So in their first two shifts
42
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,560
together, they they give up
goals.
43
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,720
When they played together, they
were immediately separated after
44
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,960
that.
Maybe they're just not ready to
45
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,520
play together yet.
That's OK.
46
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,160
Hey, that's all part of what's
going to happen for the
47
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,280
Pittsburgh Penguins this season.
You're going to have that where
48
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,720
that you don't know how well the
rookies going to play together.
49
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,000
The one thing that Muse did
tonight to kind of bug me a
50
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,280
little bit was, you know, they
had doers start the game
51
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,560
because, you know, he's from
Winnipeg.
52
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,760
He he grew up in the pods pretty
close to Winnipeg, close enough.
53
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,600
It was as close as you can get
the Winnipeg.
54
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,920
I guess to me, that's a little
too cute and it I think it
55
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:15,320
contributed to that first goal,
honestly.
56
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:22,280
The Penguins outshot Winnipeg in
the first period 11 to 8, but in
57
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,560
the second period, once again it
was all Winnipeg.
58
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,200
Brunicki fell down at the blue
line.
59
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,480
Give up the third goal and that
fourth goal on that short handed
60
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,760
penalty shot.
Yes, that's right.
61
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,240
I said short handed penalty
shot.
62
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,360
Sheila just blew up through his
through his stick it I don't
63
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,240
even remember who it was.
I think it was Connor.
64
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,360
Maybe it was Shifley.
I think it was Connor and what
65
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,560
are you going to do?
You know, he just he totally
66
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,360
misplayed that puck as it was
coming down and I threw his
67
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,720
stick at it.
That's a penalty shot.
68
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,440
He definitely threw his stick,
but that is rare.
69
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,480
I don't I don't I can't.
I don't even know if I've ever
70
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,720
seen that before where it was a
penalty shot that ended up being
71
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,040
a short handed goal.
That was pretty bizarre.
72
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,480
No doubt about that.
Something I want to try tonight
73
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,000
for the first time.
I'm going to call this HJS
74
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,320
highlight of the night.
I'm going to do a little bit of
75
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,000
analysis of what I thought was
maybe the best thing about
76
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:21,040
tonight and there wasn't a lot,
but let me pull this up for you
77
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,160
guys.
It is of that save that she Loft
78
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,880
had.
And here's here's here's why I
79
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,920
want to here's why I want to go
through this because she Loft
80
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,080
had a terrible game, OK, there's
no doubt about it.
81
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,480
But they're down for nothing at
this point, right?
82
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,360
And I'm pulling up, I'm pulling
up the footage here.
83
00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:46,800
And this is this is just kind of
a it's you can see for nothing.
84
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,200
And Gino is going to head off
the ice.
85
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,000
OK, right here.
They're just, you know,
86
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,760
Winnipeg's been been in the zone
for about 30 seconds or so.
87
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,440
Gino is going to go off the ice.
Let's let's move it forward here
88
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:06,120
and see what happens.
So Shay got it.
89
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,880
You can see Mantha and Tomasino
are still on the ice.
90
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,800
Tomasino is going to try and get
it up, but Gino's not there.
91
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,160
He went to make a change.
So nobody's there and what
92
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,560
happened?
Kendall's trying to get on, but
93
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:25,760
as you can see here, he's going
to get on a little right there.
94
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,360
He missed it right there.
Now the Tang's pinching,
95
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,280
probably ill advised.
Pinch right there and you can
96
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:33,960
see these two guys, they're
going to head up the ice and
97
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:40,920
watch what happens.
Oh boy, There's really nothing
98
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,760
Shea can do at this point.
You can see Kendall's trying to
99
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,720
get back, but it's a it's a two
on one at this point.
100
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,480
You're you're you're hung out
the dry.
101
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,960
You know, Shea could go down
here and try and stop the pass,
102
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,640
but Shifley makes a great pass
over to the Velardi and watch
103
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,760
what happens.
Watch what happens right here,
104
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:04,840
Sheila.
Oh my God, he just robbed him on
105
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:06,680
that play.
Wasn't that that that was
106
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,480
beautiful.
And here's the thing about that.
107
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000
It's for nothing.
Sheila could have just given up,
108
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,640
you know, two on one beautiful
pass by Shifley over to Velarde.
109
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,920
He could have just give it up,
you know, give it up the fifth
110
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,320
goal and it would have been
over.
111
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,960
But you know, 2 minutes left,
two plus minutes left in the
112
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,000
second period.
He makes a nice save.
113
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,320
That's what I like about this
Penguin teams, even though they
114
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,480
could have definitely they could
have definitely just give it up,
115
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,760
just give it in.
They still got some fight in
116
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,720
them.
I like that about this team.
117
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,000
I didn't see that last year with
the Penguins and I like to see
118
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,040
that Sheila once once again had
a terrible night, had a really
119
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,560
rough night.
But to me that shows that muses
120
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,360
got them thinking that they can
be in it no matter what.
121
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,800
I liked it.
I like that a lot and what
122
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,040
happened.
Sid gets a power play goal at
123
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,760
the end of the period.
Made a four one.
124
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,400
They they were mixed up the line
a little, a little bit.
125
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,080
They had Sid and Gino playing
together.
126
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,440
Those guys just don't have any
speed anymore.
127
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:10,320
I'm sorry, 39 and 38 year olds
out there, but whatever, I get
128
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,800
it, got to mix it up.
Why not put Sid and Gino
129
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,280
together out there?
Lizotte gets a gritty goal,
130
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,080
makes it 42, but it wasn't
enough.
131
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,640
Honestly.
Winnipeg was in control this
132
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,640
whole game.
Kyle Connor finally gets the
133
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,880
empty net.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are out
134
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:32,640
shot 14 to 7 and the third
period and that was really it.
135
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,280
I mean, Winnipeg's definitely
the better team tonight.
136
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,920
They deserve the win.
Pittsburgh should learn from
137
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,480
this.
They should learn that that
138
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,880
speed is something they got to
contend with and sometimes
139
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,840
they're going to have to match
and sometimes they're going to
140
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,120
they're going to have to just
decide to back off and and not
141
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,960
do it.
I like Carl's, Carlson's play
142
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,240
tonight.
I thought he was really trying
143
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,680
to dial it in to get his first
goal tonight off the face off
144
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,120
twice.
He just took the took the took
145
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:04,400
the puck right to the net, but
the goalie just stayed right up
146
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,000
against the post and didn't give
him a chance at getting that
147
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,640
short side goal.
So what are you going to do?
148
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,200
You're going to run into these
things eight points in a row.
149
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,960
You're playing against the
second best team now, the best
150
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,840
team in the NHL in the Winnipeg
Jets and you get the loss.
151
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,480
And that's what's going to
happen in hockey.
152
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:22,520
You're not going to win them
all.
153
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:28,840
So Pittsburgh Penguins once
again lose tonight at Winnipeg.
154
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,039
They lose 5 to 2, eight game
point streak is over.
155
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,919
And what else I got to say, hey,
that's Stanley, that defenseman.
156
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:41,600
He's a tough guy, man, I I liked
I like that for Winnipeg.
157
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,440
I hate playing against guys like
that.
158
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,160
He was all over.
He was all over.
159
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,360
Gino in the first period, cross
check Sid in the last period.
160
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,680
That's why I don't mind that
Mantha stick to the face there
161
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:55,480
at the end.
They were playing a little
162
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:56,880
nasty.
We're going to give it a little
163
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,800
bit back.
Mantha didn't mean to hit him in
164
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,960
the face.
He was just trying to protect
165
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,560
himself.
And Morrissey ran right into his
166
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,840
right, right into his stick.
So Penguins lose tonight.
167
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:13,760
They're heading out to they're
heading out to Toronto to no not
168
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,360
to watch the Game 7 tonight.
They're heading out to play
169
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:21,800
Toronto Monday night 7:30.
I don't know, there might be
170
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,720
there might be a parade they get
to watch.
171
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,400
I hope so.
I don't really care honestly not
172
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,600
a big baseball fan.
But tonight Penguins lose win
173
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,600
streak over and I will be back
Monday night after the Toronto
174
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,240
