Sid Vs Ovi 100th edition

1
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,400
Hey sports porchers.
It's your hockey Jesus, and I'm

2
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,440
back with analysis of the
Pittsburgh Penguins at the

3
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,840
Washington Capitals.
Well, this afternoon, Pittsburgh

4
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,720
dropped their second game in a
row to the Washington Capitals.

5
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,320
Really no surprise.
You know the stars did end up

6
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,000
playing today, mostly because
you saw the headlines.

7
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,440
You know, Sid and Ovie playing
their 100th game together.

8
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,680
Of course, Sid's not going to
miss on that.

9
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,720
There's no way.
It's just too iconic.

10
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:50,560
Mantha Chari, Kindle, Shay,
Avery Hayes, Connor Dewar and

11
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:55,320
Connor Clifton all SAT today, so
we still set a fair amount of

12
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,080
players even though the stars
came out to play.

13
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,320
Carlson was back, Latang was
back.

14
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,120
Latang actually looked pretty
good tonight.

15
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,200
This afternoon, I guess I should
say.

16
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,720
He looked like he needed the
rest.

17
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,880
I think that was a good rest for
Latang.

18
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,160
He looked like he had his wheels
back.

19
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,560
He looked like he was hitting
harder, even though they didn't

20
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,760
have very many hits.
You know, the Penguins were

21
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,440
probably going, they were going
full speed, but they weren't

22
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,480
they weren't going all out.
I mean, you can you can see this

23
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,120
team, they got to their game a
little bit in the third period,

24
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,520
maybe even in the second a
little bit.

25
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:33,800
But yeah, I mean, this is the
way it's going to be till the

26
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,760
end of the season.
The Penguins have nothing to

27
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,320
play for.
They're just kind of staying,

28
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,000
staying in shape, wanting to get
out there and play the game.

29
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,320
Yeah.
Did they want to beat the

30
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:44,120
Capitals?
Sure.

31
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,760
Of course they did.
The Capitals beat them 100%.

32
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,120
The Capitals beat them two games
in a row.

33
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,640
There's no excuse about, you
know, who's on the ice.

34
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,640
Capitals needed to win, and they
did what they needed to do.

35
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,800
So anybody who says it's just,
you know, we didn't have our

36
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,160
stars out there.
Just chill out, OK?

37
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,200
Just chill out.
Yeah.

38
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,800
We didn't have our stars out
there, but Washington played

39
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,400
well.
And, you know, they really are.

40
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,639
They're really pushing that,
that Protus.

41
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:16,080
Protus Wilson line, I don't know
about that, but tonight really

42
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,280
was about Sid and Novi.
JVR did get the game-winning

43
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,160
goal in the second with a
garbage goal.

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,440
That's a classic JVR score.
Look like Kevin Hayes and maybe

45
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,400
Novak had probably the best
opportunities for the Penguins

46
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,280
minus that one power play
opportunity for Sidney Crosby

47
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,680
that might have gone back the
whole way to the first or second

48
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,360
period.
He had that tip.

49
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,600
Hey, Logan Thompson was good.
He's going to if they make the

50
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,080
playoffs and it's highly
unlikely they will make the

51
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,600
playoffs, we'll go over that in
a second.

52
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:48,880
Logan Thompson be really
difficult to beat in the

53
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,240
playoffs.
I think he could be a guy who

54
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,120
could shut things down.
I wouldn't want to play against

55
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,080
him necessarily.
He he's a proven commodity.

56
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,880
He's been out there.
He he knows what it takes to win

57
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,320
a playoff series.
Yeah, play great tonight.

58
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,240
You know, like I said in the
third, pretty much pens were

59
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,200
trying to get to their game, but
did they?

60
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,800
No, not really.
They didn't.

61
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,200
And and they there was really no
need to.

62
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,800
So what does that mean for the
Penguins?

63
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,960
They can lose in Saint Louis.
St.

64
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,280
Louis is out of it.
By the way, I'm I'm starting to

65
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,080
get my I'm getting getting my
chart together here.

66
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,240
If you know what I do, I do a
bracket on my back wall here.

67
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,480
You can see.
I'll just look at it real quick

68
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,720
with you guys.
These two teams are in Vegas and

69
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,080
and and Edmonton.
They're in.

70
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:40,360
These teams are set so 1244.
These teams have yet to know

71
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,480
where they're going to be
playing. 1-2 or three.

72
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,280
They can go up and down either
way.

73
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,840
The 4th can flop either way.
Senators could flop over to the

74
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,160
metro Boston could.
Right now is is in the metro

75
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,320
spot.
They play this afternoon.

76
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,800
Philadelphia still in the third
spot.

77
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,840
OK, but New York Islanders have
jumped over.

78
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,120
I'm sorry, New York Islanders
are odd man looking out capitals

79
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,920
with those two wins are one game
ahead of Columbus, but Columbus

80
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,440
is is playing this afternoon.
So so there's some stuff that

81
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,800
needs to happen in the West.
These are all set.

82
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,320
OK, set, set, set, set.
The Mammoth are in over here.

83
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,280
It's wild because you don't know
what's going to happen in the

84
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:28,920
Pacific, but you do know Vegas,
the Oilers, LA, Vegas, these are

85
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,760
the only two teams in Vegas and
Edmonton, Los Angeles and

86
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,360
Anaheim are both in right now.
They could go as high as one or

87
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,120
as low as 4, or they could get
knocked out because these teams

88
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,200
are still in the hunt.
Now Nashville is over here, so

89
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,080
they can only occupy this spot.
These two teams can occupy any

90
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,040
of these spots up here, but
they're mostly going for the for

91
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,520
the wild card.
So that's what it's looking like

92
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,680
as far as the playoff race is
concerned.

93
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,320
It is time to start thinking
about that.

94
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,920
And you know what?
I got my trusty spreadsheet.

95
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,280
I'm not going to pull it up for
you guys.

96
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:07,360
I'm not going to bore you with
it, but I was running all

97
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,080
scenarios with Philly, New York
Islanders and Columbus Blue

98
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,200
Jackets and the Capitals.
The Capitals still need a lot of

99
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,560
help, OK?
Capitals still need a lot of

100
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,160
help to get in.
Philly still in the driver's

101
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,480
seat.
If Philly wins one of two,

102
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,840
they're probably going to get in
even if Columbus wins.

103
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,440
Yeah, unless Columbus wins both
of their games and Philly only

104
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,000
wins one, then Columbus gets in.
The Islanders need help.

105
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,720
If they get they win both of
their games against Montreal and

106
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:44,040
Carolina, they're only at 95 and
Capitals can only get the 95

107
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,480
also.
So they need help.

108
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,760
They need help.
Columbus or Washington can help

109
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:55,160
themselves by beating Columbus.
OK, so if they beat Columbus and

110
00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:01,080
Columbus wins tonight, that
would put them over Washington.

111
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:06,240
But that would mean that that
would knock the Capitals.

112
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,560
That actually would knock them
out.

113
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,200
Philly wins today.
Then I think the Capitals are

114
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,680
eliminated because even if they
win, they can't catch

115
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,920
Philadelphia.
That's the bottom line.

116
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,640
OK, so Capitals still need a lot
of help and and Philly doesn't

117
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,440
play till tomorrow night.
They play Carolina who really

118
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,400
has nothing to play for.
And then the Islanders play

119
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,320
Carolina on Tuesday.
So tomorrow's night game is huge

120
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,520
for Philadelphia and it's also
huge for the Capitals.

121
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,680
Capitals want to absolutely be
cheering really hard for

122
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:45,560
Carolina tomorrow because if
Philly wins, they're out.

123
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,920
They can't get in.
OK, So that's the scenarios.

124
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,840
The Pittsburgh Penguins, you
know, I don't really know what

125
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:55,040
to say because this is not the
team that you're going to see in

126
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,520
the playoffs.
They have lost two in a row.

127
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,840
They've they're, I guess you
could say three and three in

128
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:04,320
their last six.
They're four and three in their

129
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,200
last seven.
They're 3, two and three in

130
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,840
their last five.
So it depends on how you want to

131
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,520
look at the the schedule.
Pittsburgh will end up with 41

132
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,320
wins or 42 wins.
That's a winning season for

133
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:18,840
them.
That's a, that's, that's, that's

134
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,360
a, that's a winner no matter
what.

135
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,560
They're playing in Saint Louis
on Tuesday.

136
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,160
It means nothing.
Don't know what they're going to

137
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,840
do.
Probably Sheila's going to get

138
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,320
the start.
Who knows?

139
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,880
I mean, it doesn't really matter
if they could play all the

140
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,400
stars, honestly.
And, you know, just give them

141
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,160
one last game before the
playoffs start.

142
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,840
Chances are pretty good the
playoffs are going to start on

143
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,520
Saturday for the Penguins
because, you know, they play

144
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,320
their last game on on on
Tuesday.

145
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,040
So that usually means there will
be the first games on Saturday

146
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,920
and those who play on Wednesday.
But then again, you know, the

147
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,200
team that they're going to play
against may be playing on

148
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,560
Wednesday.
I don't know if they're going to

149
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,200
snake that game this Sunday.
Whatever, we'll figure that out

150
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,800
later in the week.
Hey, I hope you're enjoying what

151
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,960
you're hearing if you are, I'm
the hockey Jesus.

152
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,680
I'm here after every single
Pittsburgh Penguins game.

153
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,240
That's right, every single one.
We only have one more, but we do

154
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,960
have at least four more playoff
games.

155
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,560
So why not hit that subscribe
button?

156
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,560
Go ahead, do it now.
I'll wait and then hit that bell

157
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,360
because that means I'll come in
your living room whenever I jump

158
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,640
on YouTube and you can see me
and I'll see you then in the

159
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,559
next one.
And just remember, hockey is

160
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,880
your friend.
Hockey is my friend, and right

161
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,559
now it's the best hockey in the
world.

162
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:45,000
