Wildest Win of the season 4-3 at TBL

1
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,520
Hey sports Porcher, it's your
hockey Jesus and I'm back with

2
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,760
analysis of the Pittsburgh
Penguins at the Tampa Bay

3
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,240
Lightning.
Well, shame on you if you've

4
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:30,200
missed the game tonight.
My goodness, what a high event

5
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,920
game tonight was.
It may be the highest event game

6
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,280
I've seen all year.
That's right, the Pittsburgh

7
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,000
Penguins pull off a four, three
win at Tampa in regulation.

8
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,960
That's two points for the guys.
My goodness, it wasn't without a

9
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,160
lot of drama.
Pretty much in every single

10
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:52,520
aspect of this game.
I'm going to try and go over it.

11
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,720
I do not have a highlight
tonight.

12
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,000
One highlight tonight would not
do this game any justice.

13
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,440
There were just way too many
highlights.

14
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,200
You need a whole reel of
highlights to be able to watch

15
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,560
this game.
But hey, the Pittsburgh Penguins

16
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,920
came out smoking.
They they score the first three

17
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,320
goals and what am I going to
say?

18
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:17,400
You know, Jerry and Johansson
were really good early.

19
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,080
They had some nice saves and
then hey, it's always nice to

20
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,200
start the game off with a little
fisticuffs.

21
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,920
You got a Mama and Douglas, the
big guys going out there, they

22
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:28,840
just drop them.
They just said, hey, let's

23
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,600
fight.
I mean, A and Mama kind of ran

24
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,440
into him, but it was a stage
fight.

25
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,320
I'm not a big fan of stage
fights, just so you know.

26
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,920
But yeah, it was what it was.
I'm going to call that 1A draw,

27
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,960
although maybe it was a minor
win for Boko just because, you

28
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:51,400
know, you, you go up against the
six foot seven guy, you're not

29
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,520
expected to win.
And he's a thick guy too.

30
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,240
But so, yeah, so we got a
little, we got a little

31
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,800
fisticuffs early.
And then Penguins go on a power

32
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,760
play, look like crap, to be
honest with you, that power play

33
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,680
look like crap.
And then all of a sudden, bang,

34
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,880
bang, boom, the ball, the puck
comes back into the zone and who

35
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,280
gets it right in the slot?
Our buddy Koebeden, That's

36
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,200
right.
His first NHL goal finally gets

37
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,160
off the slide.
Thank goodness for that guy.

38
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,120
He's been working really hard to
get a goal.

39
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,200
He deserved it right in the
slot.

40
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,240
Just a really nice shot.
So they're one for one on the

41
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,680
power play.
That was kind of the difference

42
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,920
for the Penguins tonight.
Their power play with smoking

43
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:34,600
hot tonight and just the speed
back and forth that whole period

44
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,840
and it only ends up 1.
Nothing just goes to show you

45
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,040
how well the goalies were really
playing.

46
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,640
And that's despite nine shots
for the Penguins and 15 shots

47
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,640
for Tampa Bay in the first
period.

48
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,280
The second didn't slow down at
all.

49
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,720
Sid decides to go for a big old
cross check.

50
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,600
I don't even know who it was
against, but broke his stick.

51
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,160
You know you're going to get
called for that every time, but

52
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,400
it didn't hurt the Pens.
You know, they kill the power

53
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,840
play and then Gino on basically
a breakaway gets the next goal.

54
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,520
2 nothing Penguins looking
great.

55
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,280
And then they get another power
play.

56
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,280
And our buddy, my friend, your
friend Ben Kindle, the rookie,

57
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,000
he gets a power play goal on a
sweet tip. 3 nothing Penguins

58
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,120
middle of this, you know, midway
through the 2nd I'm like, this

59
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,200
is great, just like all the
other 3 nothing games, right?

60
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,080
Well, as it turns out, in 3
nothing games, the Pittsburgh

61
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:38,120
Penguins have lost the three
nothing have lost given up.

62
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,440
I should say they've given up
three goals after they've given

63
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,840
made three goals.
Anytime we use three nothing,

64
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,120
the other team comes back to at
least get 3 three against

65
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,160
Washington.
I believe they ended up they

66
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,520
ended up winning that game
because I was at it 43 just like

67
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,920
they won this game 4/3 and the
other game I believe they lost

68
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,840
5, three.
But hey, Tampa wasn't slowing

69
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:03,920
down.
Credit to them.

70
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,240
They kept coming.
Pittsburgh gets a penalty, you

71
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,280
know, Tampa Bay gets a penalty.
I'm telling you that Radish, I

72
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,680
really like the way he plays.
He he's very smart, he's tough,

73
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:20,240
He's a excellent defenseman.
I love the way he plays.

74
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,000
He had a really nice pass on
that Kucherov goal there near

75
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,920
the end of the second period.
So end of the second 31, just

76
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,560
you're still feeling pretty good
about that 19 to 24 in shots at

77
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,440
that point.
And then the bad penalties come

78
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,880
first.
Letang takes a bad penalty and

79
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,840
Hagel scores right off of that.
A three two, you know, makes it

80
00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:45,080
3-2.
Really nice shot by Hagel

81
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,640
screened Carlson or I'm sorry,
Jarry was screened by Carlson.

82
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:53,120
He really had no chance and the
and the shot was perfect in the

83
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,960
upper right hand corner and left
hand corner.

84
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,120
If you're looking at the goal,
no way Jerry saw that shot.

85
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:05,000
So there you go.
And they kept coming power play.

86
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,600
Gino got hooked, they didn't
couldn't do anything with the

87
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,640
power play.
And then Hagel, you know, gets a

88
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,040
puck, basically gets behind a
defense and he buries it with

89
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,600
about 8 minutes left 3/3.
And it's looking like, oh, man,

90
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:22,440
either Tampa's going to come
back or Pittsburgh's going to

91
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,000
have to have to win this one in
overtime.

92
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,200
Although we finally did win an
overtime game.

93
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,600
That's what it looked like it
was headed to.

94
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,880
And then my buddy, I told you he
is my new favorite Pittsburgh

95
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,240
Penguin, Tommy Novak with a
sweet pass right to Gino.

96
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,480
Gino buries it.
He didn't waste any time, makes

97
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,760
it 4/3.
At that point, you know the

98
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,000
Penguin, there's only like 2 1/2
minutes left.

99
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,240
Two minutes, 43 seconds to be
exact.

100
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,360
And with 5 minutes left, the
Tampa Bay Lightning attempted 63

101
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,200
shots.
I don't know what the final

102
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,480
attempted shots were in this
game, but I promise you it was

103
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,600
over 70.
And that's just unbelievable for

104
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,120
them to only give up three goals
on over of the attempted shots.

105
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,880
Pretty crazy.
And just when you think it was,

106
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,480
it couldn't get any crazier.
What happens?

107
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:19,120
Pull the goalie, Kucharov shoots
it, scores and he ties it up 44.

108
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:25,000
But wait.
But wait, Toronto always reviews

109
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,200
every goal after under 2
minutes, so there's nothing the

110
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,320
coaches can do.
There's no coaches challenge,

111
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,720
and they saw something that
nobody else saw.

112
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,160
I didn't see it.
I wasn't paying attention to it.

113
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,480
I didn't.
I wasn't like, hey, he touched

114
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,280
the puck, he touched the puck.
I didn't see it, I'll be honest

115
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:43,000
with you, I don't think a lot of
people did.

116
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:46,520
But clearly when the puck came
off the glass, he hit it with

117
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,400
his glove.
Whether he meant to or not, it

118
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,600
doesn't matter.
Any inadvertent puck off a glove

119
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,920
that goes to another player is a
hand pass as long as it's not in

120
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,320
the defensive zone.
That's what happened.

121
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,040
And they scored after that.
So wind back the clock to a

122
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:06,320
minute, 7 seconds left and Tampa
Bay couldn't get it done again.

123
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,280
And that's how it ends.
Pittsburgh Penguins win 4/3.

124
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,360
Oh my.
I had to catch my breath because

125
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,920
that was just wait, hold on a
second.

126
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,240
My goodness that I'm telling
you, that game was just

127
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,480
fantastic.
If every hockey game was like

128
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,560
that, you would never have to
worry about ratings watching a

129
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,320
hockey game.
I'll be honest with you there.

130
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,240
So the Pittsburgh Penguins right
now have won four of their last

131
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,680
five.
Excellent boys are moving and

132
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,240
they're doing it without the
guys that we need to come back.

133
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:44,160
And as it turns out, Brazil and
let's see, I got it up here,

134
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:49,600
Brazil and Achari look like
they'll be back in seven to 10

135
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,080
days.
So that's good.

136
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,520
Can't beat that.
We'll take that.

137
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,600
Guys are coming back.
We're getting healthy.

138
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,120
We're still winning.
Kid Line was smoking hot

139
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,400
tonight.
I love the way that Kid Line

140
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,480
plays.
That's a Rutger Mcgurdy playing

141
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:14,720
on a line with with Kendall and
COVID and those three guys, 2120

142
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,520
and 18 years old, love it.
Love to see the youth.

143
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,560
They still got some things to to
put together there.

144
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,520
But I think overall they're
doing pretty good.

145
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,640
And I agree with you, MK very
happy, did not go to overtime,

146
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,000
but Kendall will stay hot all
season.

147
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,120
You can tell the way this kid
plays, he just, he's got it,

148
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,919
he's got it.
You can tell he knows where the

149
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:39,600
puck is.
He's very here.

150
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,840
He's very much assured of
himself out there.

151
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,800
He looks a little fragile out
there, I'm not going to lie

152
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,920
'cause he's so young and he's
not, he's not thick, but I love

153
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,280
it, love every aspect of his
game very much.

154
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,960
Looking forward to watching him
play the rest of the season.

155
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,240
What else do I got for you on
the way out here?

156
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,160
Sidney Crosby countdown, No
points tonight so you still need

157
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,360
7 points to time Mario for the
all time lead tonight.

158
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,880
Kevin Hayes had more shots than
Sidney Crosby.

159
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,720
That's why I don't like him on
that line, but I'm not going to

160
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,840
complain.
Pittsburgh Penguins win tonight,

161
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:21,520
when's their next game?
They play again on Sunday so

162
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,920
they got a few days off.
It'll be interesting to see if

163
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,080
Jarry's back in or if they try
and give Sheila, they give

164
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,920
Sheila a little chance, you
know, who knows, Time will tell,

165
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,720
but until then, I'll be here
Sunday night.

166
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,640
I hope you're here.
If you aren't, it's because

167
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,520
you're not smashing that
subscribe button.

168
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,000
So smash that subscribe button.
Hit that bell.

169
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,160
I'm here after every single
Pittsburgh Penguins game.

170
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,680
Sorry, no highlight tonight too.
Too many things going on.

171
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,120
I have a feeling we'll we'll
have a highlight after Sunday's

172
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,400
game in Dallas.
So enjoy the hockey until then.

173
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,840
I'll see you Sunday.
Have a good one.
