Penguins beat the Odd vs Vegas win 5-0

1
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,480
Hey, sports porchers.
It's a wonderful day in the

2
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,760
neighborhood.
Indeed, The Pittsburgh Penguins

3
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,680
have taken care of business
again, this time against the Las

4
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,960
Vegas Knights here in an
afternoon matinee Sunday

5
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,160
afternoon, also known as Mr.
Rogers Day.

6
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:39,480
This afternoon in Pittsburgh,
March 1st.

7
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,120
Well, what can you say?
Today was just a dominant game.

8
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,600
They just really took care of
Business Today after yesterday's

9
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,400
third period meltdown.
They just came out and said,

10
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,120
hey, this is not who we are,
this is not what we do.

11
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:56,520
And sure enough, they proved it
right away.

12
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,600
Pittsburgh Penguins win tonight
in convincing fashion 5 nothing

13
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,800
good shout out for Sheila.
Good to see him really just

14
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,600
picking up the pace here.
Just fantastic, just a great

15
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,400
day.
Mark Stone got injured early on

16
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,160
this.
I think that definitely factored

17
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,560
in a play, but and Vegas got off
to the a fast start, probably

18
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,360
forget it already, but Vegas
definitely got the better half

19
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,400
of the play, probably the first
five, maybe even the 1st 10

20
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,480
minutes.
And you know, honestly, there

21
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,880
wasn't a lot of shots.
There were 6 total shots, 4 to 2

22
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,960
for Vegas in the 1st 10 minutes.
And honestly, when Kendall

23
00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:39,560
scored, you know, pretty late in
the first period, it was an

24
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,800
innocent enough shot.
I mean, it was in the slot so

25
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,400
you know, it's a high danger
shot.

26
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,560
But honestly, a good Aiden Hill
gets that.

27
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,520
I thought Aiden Hill tonight was
pretty poor.

28
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,320
I thought he had a bad outing.
Now once again, I don't know.

29
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,200
Aidan Hill, I don't watch a lot
of Vegas games, but to me, the

30
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,200
way he looked tonight probably
is not the way he normally

31
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,640
plays.
But we'll take it.

32
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,360
I mean, when we can roll 4 lines
like we do, and this is the key,

33
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,240
when Sid is out, just keep
rolling the four lines.

34
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,680
Kendall gets the first goal, his
15th of the year.

35
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,080
I thought it was a bad goal by
Hill, but hey, he's shooting it

36
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,200
in the puck.
Just let it fly.

37
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,200
And then in the second period,
what is up with all these second

38
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,840
periods?
So many penalties in the second

39
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,120
period, power plays, penalty
kills.

40
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,840
Tonight we had three power plays
in the second period and two

41
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,200
penalty kills.
Once again, SO55 special teams

42
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:38,160
play in the second period and it
definitely benefited the the

43
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,240
Pittsburgh Penguins.
We we get out of there with a

44
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,920
four nothing lead at the end of
the second.

45
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:45,320
What happened at the end of the
first power play, which is the

46
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,960
one that we didn't score on,
Chinikov just gets the puck and

47
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,600
fires it.
Told you this guy's shot is just

48
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,120
electric.
All he's got to do is focus on

49
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,160
shooting that puck.
Just get it on that Jenny, it's

50
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,680
going to go in.
He just fired a rocket.

51
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:01,800
So that made it 2.
Nothing.

52
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,960
And then Avery Hayes, how about
this kid drawing penalties?

53
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,600
I love it.
I mean, you know, he's not been

54
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,400
that great on the first line,
honestly.

55
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,840
But if he can draw penalties,
what's wrong with that?

56
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,600
We get to the power play.
Our power play is pretty much

57
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,480
smoke and still, even with sit
out, which is which is really

58
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,640
hard to believe.
But yeah, Avery Hayes, you know,

59
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,240
draws a penalty, drops the
gloves, wasn't really that much

60
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,720
of a fight, but still.
And then Rust about 7 seconds

61
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,760
in, gets his 20th of the season.
That's seven seasons in a row

62
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,080
for the Rust Rusty Razor.
He made it 3 nothing.

63
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,440
And really pretty much after
that it was over.

64
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,240
But what did happen?
Some penalty kills.

65
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,720
Tanger got a penalty.
Did you know who Pittsburgh

66
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,000
Penguins penalty kill is is
second in the NHL 85%.

67
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,880
I I believe it the way they
play, they will not let that

68
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,920
puck go right through the middle
of the zone.

69
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,000
They just won't let it happen.
Vegas was waiting and waiting

70
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,560
and waiting, trying to get that
puck in the hurdle right on the

71
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,160
slot.
Penguins didn't flinch.

72
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,440
They said, no, you're just not
going to be able to do it.

73
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,000
You're going to have to shoot it
elsewhere.

74
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,720
And Vegas wasn't passing the
puck very well on the power

75
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,120
play.
Looked like they were.

76
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,320
They were waiting, you know,
maybe for a rebound.

77
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,399
There were a few rebounds, but I
thought Sheila did a good job of

78
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:23,080
pouncing on them.
So, hey, that's what happened.

79
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,920
So, you know, penalty kill was
good, 2 for two that period.

80
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,600
And Carlson we get we get our
third power play.

81
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,560
So we were two for three on a
power play.

82
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,680
Carlson shoots at the racks.
I couldn't tell if racks hit it

83
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,320
with his leg or dropped it down,
but the puck went right to his

84
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,760
stick and he bounced it right
in.

85
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,760
Once again, Aidan Hill kind of
overplaying it to the right

86
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,680
there.
Don't know what he was going

87
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,920
over to the right for, but when
he went to the right, Rex went

88
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:56,080
went to the left, to his left
and just buried it.

89
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,000
So that made a four.
Nothing.

90
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,480
Vegas is just reeling since
since the break getting out

91
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,640
scored nine one in the first two
periods.

92
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,120
Vegas is going to have to turn
it around.

93
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,360
Like I said, having stone
injured really doesn't help you

94
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,920
lose your captain like that and
you got to juggle your lines on

95
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,760
the road, especially coming out
to the East Coast from the West

96
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,840
Coast.
Hey, we're going to go play them

97
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,360
I think in in about a week or
two.

98
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:21,920
So we're going to go out to
Vegas.

99
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,640
We said we'll see how they play
in their own barn and we got to

100
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,320
make that trip out West.
It's it's not easy, certainly

101
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,080
not easy, but third period, you
know, you're not really too

102
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,080
worried with a four nothing
lead, but you just want to see

103
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,480
the boys go out there and play a
solid third period.

104
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,400
They did that today.
They they they didn't, you know,

105
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,480
really attack too much.
But what they did well was they

106
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,680
kept the puck on this on the
stick.

107
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,800
They didn't just dump it and
chase it.

108
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,920
They they were actually trying
to, you know, get keep it in the

109
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,640
offensive zone for a little bit
and Vegas just couldn't do

110
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,360
anything to get into the zone.
They had zero offensive zone

111
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,840
time and then Brazzo just takes
advantage of it, comes down the

112
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:08,320
slot and just berries one, his
16th of the season.

113
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,880
Every time he scores, it's a new
record for him.

114
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,920
So good for Justin Brazzo.
He puts the icing on that

115
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,520
beautiful birthday cake and
ending the score at 5.

116
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,280
Nothing.
So Pittsburgh Penguins, I don't,

117
00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:24,440
I don't know what to say.
I mean, I, I have nothing but

118
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,320
good things to say since they've
been back.

119
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,760
They've won five out of six
these afternoon games.

120
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,160
Maybe maybe that's good.
I I tell you what, you could not

121
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:38,120
tell today that they play upon a
back back for sure because they

122
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,480
look like they had a lot of a
lot of gas in their tank.

123
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:46,280
And I'll tell you, compared to a
couple last couple years, I'm

124
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:49,360
telling you that these
Pittsburgh Penguins got a lot of

125
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,880
energy and they're really just
that much better in the 2nd.

126
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,240
And these back to backs, hey,
lot more back to backs to come

127
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,120
from.
Like I said, this is our first

128
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,640
of 17 games in the month of
March and there's no rest for

129
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,720
the weary.
Although Penguins get off

130
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,800
tomorrow, but I don't I'll be
here.

131
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,720
Hey, if you don't know who I am
Hey, by the way, where am I Mr.

132
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:16,360
Rogers shirt today and I'm your
hockey Jesus self-proclaimed

133
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,880
hockey Jesus.
That nickname given to me by my

134
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:24,080
technical director TD gave it to
me at why because I love hockey.

135
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,800
I love Pittsburgh Penguins
hockey, but I love hockey in

136
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,680
general.
I follow the Pittsburgh

137
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,560
Penguins.
So I'm coming to you after every

138
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,120
single Pittsburgh Penguins game.
You don't have to watch the

139
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,040
game.
Just stop by here, hit that

140
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,800
subscribe button, push the bell.
I'm just going to give you what

141
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,040
happened the whole game so you
don't have to waste 2 1/2 hours.

142
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,640
I'm giving back to you with
these seven to 10 minute

143
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,120
segments.
Sometimes they go 12 minutes,

144
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,240
but the Pittsburgh Penguins are
red hot still 31 to 28 on the

145
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:58,080
season, 75 points, 5 out of 6
points since the break.

146
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,480
Nothing but good going on in
Pittsburgh.

147
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,720
Let's see if they can keep it
going on Tuesday.

148
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,160
That's right.
They got to hit the road one

149
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,720
game Rd. streak.
They're heading the Boston.

150
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,960
Boston lost yesterday to Philly.
They look pretty.

151
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,920
They didn't look very good.
I shouldn't say that Swayman

152
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,040
looked good in goal.
They just couldn't get, they

153
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,320
couldn't get a goal.
Pasta couldn't get a goal

154
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,160
against Philly.
Hopefully Stu will be back and

155
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,440
he'll be playing rock solid.
So that's Tuesday, I think it's

156
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,360
an early game.
Nope, 7:00 start.

157
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,120
So I'll be back after Tuesday
game.

158
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,120
Until then, enjoy your hockey,
enjoy the rest of the weekend,

159
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,320
and I'll see you then.
