Overtime win 5-4 versus Boston

1
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,760
Hey sports porchers, it's your
hockey Jesus and I'm back with

2
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,800
analysis of the Pittsburgh
Penguins versus the Boston

3
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,200
Bruins.
Well, second time we've played

4
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,200
the Bruins in a few days.
And tonight, I'm happy to report

5
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,520
the Pittsburgh Penguins finally
get off their three-game losing

6
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,080
streak.
They beat the Bruins in

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,200
overtime.
That's right.

8
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,320
You heard it here.
They beat the Bruins in overtime

9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,920
on Tommy Novak's goal.
I don't know, maybe 15 seconds

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,600
into the game, 19 seconds,
something like that into the

11
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,120
overtime period.
Wow.

12
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,720
Boy, what a great game for the
national audience to watch.

13
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,080
It had everything in it.
You know, both Boston and

14
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:53,400
Pittsburgh very similar records.
The problem with Boston is

15
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,080
they're fighting off that wild
card.

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,640
And we're, I guess we're, we're
similar, we're doing the same

17
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,520
really when it comes down to it.
So I wasn't surprised to see

18
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,319
Boston kind of laid back and get
that point because that puts him

19
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,840
three points ahead of Columbus.
And we wanted to point too, but

20
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,120
I think we were trying to get it
in regulation but didn't really

21
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,840
need it.
Both teams wanted to get that

22
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,840
point in overtime, but there was
some controversy there.

23
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,360
We'll get to that in a second
tonight.

24
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,880
Mantha Sodorbloom makes his
Penguin debut.

25
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,200
He was on the line with Kendall
and Avery Hayes.

26
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,880
Boy, he got put in a tough
position today because Avery

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,960
Hayes and Kendall are really
struggling in the defensive

28
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:34,880
zone.
That was clear today with Pavel

29
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,240
Zaka.
Great game by Zaka today.

30
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:43,120
Had a hatty Mantha was playing
with Novak and Koivenin and Sol

31
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,200
Joiebloff came in for Clifton.
Clifton gets a little bit of a

32
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,920
break tonight.
He's going to play a lot.

33
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,480
Don't worry about that.
I there's no injuries.

34
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,200
It's just you know, it's time
management.

35
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,640
That's all it is and that's
fine.

36
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,480
No problem with that.
I think those changes were fine.

37
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,400
Everything else was pretty much
the same and and they're off.

38
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:08,440
So first period starts in a the
Penguins came out OK, Achary got

39
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:13,120
got some chances.
Gerard man he made a nice pass

40
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,800
to Lizzo.
He couldn't bury it.

41
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,120
And then in the in on the
penalty kill, Chinni got went

42
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,240
off the ice for tripping.
Pavel Zaka got the goal 1

43
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,320
Nothing really nice dish from
geeky on that goal in the first

44
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,600
period.
Honestly, Boston probably should

45
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,440
have had two or three more goals
that period.

46
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,560
They had a few odd man breaks.
Achari had probably the best

47
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,040
opportunities in the first
period, but wasn't a great

48
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,720
period for Pittsburgh at all.
No doubt about that.

49
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,280
That was not a great period for
them.

50
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,280
Only to get out of that period
down 1.

51
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,600
Nothing.
I thought they were pretty

52
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,360
lucky.
So we go to the second period.

53
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,720
Boy, all Boston in the second
period, you know, Kustin Tinoff,

54
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,640
I I'm probably saying that guy's
name.

55
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:01,040
He crashes in the goalie.
There was no coal there.

56
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,240
I didn't like that.
You know, they said that, you

57
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,560
know, Shay's leg was in the way
he ran the damn goalie.

58
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,400
Let's just say it like it is,
but she left, didn't get hurt no

59
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,800
problem.
So Zaka gets his second one.

60
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,120
Oh my God, he made Avery Hayes
and Ben Kendall look like

61
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,360
absolute fools on that scoring
play.

62
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:24,440
Like I said, Zaka was on fire.
He looked like Conor McDavid on

63
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,240
that goal getting to the
backhand.

64
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,080
Just what can you say?
Just playing great hockey and

65
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,240
then she lost.
Makes a egregious heir going to

66
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,360
play of the puck.
Pasta, I guess, did a good job

67
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,320
of getting to the puck, but she
lost got to do better than

68
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,280
manage that puck behind the goal
like that.

69
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,600
He gets it, he shoots it.
If she lost, just would have let

70
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,880
him shoot it.
It wouldn't have gone in because

71
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,960
it was going through the crease
off of she loves pad and into

72
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,640
the net.
So it's 3 nothing at that point.

73
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,440
You're I honestly, I'm feeling
like OK, they're going to have

74
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,560
to do something different.
But you know what the kids it

75
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,480
just kept coming and that's
about this Penguin team.

76
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,640
You know, they just kept coming.
They they wouldn't be denied.

77
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,240
They just they just had
something about them that said

78
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,560
if we just keep working at this,
we can do it.

79
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,640
And Boston's not been a great
Rd. team, so maybe they knew

80
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,160
that maybe something was going
on there.

81
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,000
But they did get A5 on three and
Chinnikov scores on the five on

82
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,400
three.
That kid what a what a great

83
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,040
shot.
He's this guy was made to shoot

84
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,720
the puck.
There's no doubt about that.

85
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,160
I mean, he's good regardless,
but his his superpower is

86
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,480
shooting the puck.
Shoot the puck anytime you get

87
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,200
it, Chinny.
He got 1 today.

88
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,640
Put it past the goalie who is
who is in goal for them.

89
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,520
Today it was Corpusale.
That's right.

90
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,680
Corpusale was in goal today.
He looked fine.

91
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,240
You know, she left looked fine.
This was not a goalie game

92
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,320
today.
This was about the breaks and

93
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,800
they were all over the place.
So Penguins needed that goal

94
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,440
that, you know, that 513 goal
that really helped them feel

95
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:04,800
like they could get back into
it.

96
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,840
But they give up a penalty.
So they go on the penalty kill

97
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:12,920
and they kill off the penalty
kill and then Dewer with a just

98
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:19,120
an unbelievable effort, get into
the puck, stop in and there was

99
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,520
a defensive guy.
What what was his name?

100
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,000
Let me get it right here,
Asperova.

101
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,120
I'm going to say it wrong,
Aspero.

102
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,000
Aspero.
He had a bad third period.

103
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,640
He beat him that a puck, and
then he kind of put on the

104
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,560
brakes and he backhanded it
right into the corner of the

105
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,800
goal.
Just a great goal, just a great

106
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,280
effort by Doer.
And then you know what, that

107
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:44,880
really helps when you just have
a guy that's going to make a

108
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,400
play.
Everybody's like, OK, he made a

109
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,040
play, I can make a play.
You know, Connor Dewar is going

110
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,160
to get paid next year, probably
not going to be back with the

111
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,120
Pittsburgh Penguins, but that
kid plays with a lot of heart.

112
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,160
He's a goal scorer, too.
I think he's got like something

113
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,000
like 13 goals on the season on
that fourth line.

114
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,480
You could say he's the goal
scorer on that line 100%.

115
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,560
He's had plenty of short handed
opportunities this year too, but

116
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,080
he made a really nice play
there.

117
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,040
So 32, you're feeling like, OK,
maybe we're back in this.

118
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,200
And not even 30 seconds later,
Mantha's booking down the end.

119
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,480
He gets the pass and he just
makes a sweet backhanded right

120
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,080
between the pads right past
Corpusalo and ties it up and the

121
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,600
crowd goes wild.
You know, great play by math.

122
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,560
There was a sweet pass there.
I think maybe it was Latang with

123
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,680
the primary there and it's a new
game 33.

124
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,320
OK, so we're back in this.
Maybe not.

125
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,600
Here comes Pablo Zaka.
He gets his hatty goal once

126
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,920
again, making Hayes and Kendall
just looking absolutely foolish

127
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,680
out there.
I mean, they're rookies, so I, I

128
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,640
guess they're going to go
through these growing pains.

129
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,440
But boy, they're going through
their their growing pains today.

130
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,960
I'll tell you what, Pavel Zaka
had a field day.

131
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,120
The hats are on the ice and
you're feeling like, OK, can the

132
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,000
boys get one back?
Can they get one back?

133
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:10,680
And our buddy Anthony Mantha
gets a juicy rebound, puts it in

134
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,520
once again.
Espero right there just beats

135
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,400
him to the puck.
And that was it.

136
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:23,320
That was 44 they did get Boston
did get a penalty, a power play,

137
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,160
but honestly, wow that that the
short handed chances for

138
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,200
Pittsburgh there were probably
just as good as the offensive

139
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,440
chances for Boston.
I nearly had a heart attack

140
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,680
after that.
After all the back and forth.

141
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,640
I had to stand up and watch
pretty much most of the five

142
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,360
last five minutes just because
it was just that's playoff

143
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,200
hockey.
I don't know if you've watched

144
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,640
hockey before.
If you have, good for you.

145
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,680
If you haven't, you've come to
the right place.

146
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,640
I'm your hockey Jesus.
I'm going to give you the

147
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,400
Pittsburgh Penguins, give you
the analysis after every single

148
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,320
Pittsburgh Penguins game.
That's why I'm here.

149
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,480
I'm here for you.
So if you haven't, that is

150
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,680
exactly what playoff hockey is.
For those of you veterans of the

151
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,160
game, you know what it feels
like.

152
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,640
And that was absolutely playoff
hockey today.

153
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,640
And so back and forth in about
the minute and a half, Mark

154
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,800
looked like everybody was
playing for the loser point, and

155
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,600
that's what happened.
So we go to the overtime and

156
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,800
like I said, not 10 or 15
seconds into overtime, here's

157
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:28,160
what happened.
OK, Bruins get the puck.

158
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,320
Penguins get it right off of
them.

159
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,880
I don't know what McAvoy was
doing with the puck.

160
00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:35,320
Honestly, I don't know how he
gave that up so easily.

161
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:40,720
I think it was the Chinikov and
Carlson was out there and Novak

162
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,960
was out there to take the draw
and Chinikoff gets it.

163
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,360
He gets it.
He gets it to Carlson, who then

164
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:52,560
dishes it to Novak and Carlson.
He just ran interference.

165
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:55,440
Pasta was out there.
Honestly, it should have been a

166
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,600
penalty.
We saw it last night where, you

167
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,600
know, the goal.
We kind of moved out of his way

168
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,360
to run in the Carlson.
We got the penalty, they didn't

169
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,680
call it today and Novak just had
a perfect opportunity to score.

170
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:13,200
I don't know, maybe maybe the
refs wanted to go home, but I I

171
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,640
think Pasta definitely had a
beef there with that being a

172
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,560
penalty by Carlson, but they
didn't call it.

173
00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:22,120
So sometimes they go your way
and sometimes they don't.

174
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,080
They did go that way for the
Pittsburgh Penguins today and

175
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,520
they get the winner in overtime.
Oh my goodness, that's the first

176
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,440
overtime win and quite a while
last overtime win.

177
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,640
Oh my goodness, you got to go
the whole way back to January

178
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,320
4th at Columbus.
That's a long time to wait for

179
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,960
an overtime win, but we'll take
it.

180
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,200
We needed the two points.
The Pittsburgh Penguins now are

181
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:54,680
32 and 31 on the season and just
a just an absolute great win.

182
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,600
They needed they need to get all
the points they can.

183
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,760
Like I said, trending for 100
points now, that's really

184
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,680
important.
The two points now puts them

185
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,320
like 7 points ahead of Columbus.
I should look it up.

186
00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:11,880
But the most important thing you
need to know is they're trending

187
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,200
towards 100 points, and 100
points will absolutely be a

188
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,800
playoff spot, 1000%.
If they get the 100 point, they

189
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,520
will absolutely make the
playoffs.

190
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,400
And that's where they need to
be.

191
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,360
And guess what, For all this
hard work at home, they get to

192
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,080
hit the road.
That's right, the Pittsburgh

193
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:36,400
Penguins are taking A5 game road
trip the likes of who they will

194
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,360
see first, they're going to
start off in Carolina.

195
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,160
Then they're heading out to the
West slash Midwest.

196
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,560
Vegas, Utah, Colorado coming
back east for Carolina.

197
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,400
I your hockey Jesus, you might
miss me.

198
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:56,720
I'm going to be on vacation.
I hear that the Wi-Fi isn't

199
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,120
great, so don't expect to hear
from me the next three games.

200
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,840
Next three games?
Yeah, looks like the next three

201
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:05,720
games.
I'm going to be out.

202
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,000
I'm going to try and get a fill
in.

203
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,240
We'll see what I can do for you.
Maybe I can get TD to show up.

204
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,120
Maybe I can get the counselor to
fill in, but I know he's on

205
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,400
vacation right now too.
So hey, good win for the

206
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,480
Pittsburgh Penguins today.
The only beef that I have was

207
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,680
Muse got to do something about
Avery Hayes and Kendall.

208
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,320
Those kids either need some
coaching or they need to not

209
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,920
play together because they need
to figure that out.

210
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,320
Not good, but it was mostly good
for the Penguins tonight.

211
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,720
The best part about it was the
two point win.

212
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,760
Hope you watched it.
