Toronto Invades Pittsburgh Wins 7-2

1
00:00:14,810 --> 00:00:18,730
Hey sports porchers, it's your
hockey Jesus and I'm back with

2
00:00:18,730 --> 00:00:23,570
analysis of the Pittsburgh
Penguins versus the Toronto

3
00:00:23,570 --> 00:00:25,450
Maple Leafs.
Well, tonight the Pittsburgh

4
00:00:25,450 --> 00:00:28,330
Penguins couldn't get it done,
couldn't win another

5
00:00:28,330 --> 00:00:32,159
back-to-back.
And it really showed right from

6
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,160
the beginning in that first
period, the the Penguins were

7
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:38,160
just not getting any of the
bounces.

8
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,520
Everything just was not going
their way.

9
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,080
And that's just sometimes the
way the cookie crumbles or the

10
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,240
way the puck bounces, however
you want to say it.

11
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:52,360
Let's so that's, that's losers
tonight. 7 two.

12
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,960
Yeah, that's right. 72.
Toronto finally found their guns

13
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,000
and they shot them all off all
over our goalies.

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,640
Sheila was pretty horrible
tonight.

15
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,000
Four goals on nine shots before
he got pulled.

16
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,440
Sheila's never actually played
Toronto before.

17
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,320
I was surprised to hear that.
But he's still a relatively

18
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:15,720
young goalie and he did play in
the West, so I guess that's not

19
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,680
too surprising.
So now he's on one against

20
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,760
Toronto.
That was the worst home loss

21
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:26,240
since Sheila had his last start
where he was score got scored

22
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:31,200
four goals in 10 shots.
So she lost had a couple rough

23
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,080
outings here.
I I'm not going to make too much

24
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:39,480
of it right now, but two games
is starting to create a trend.

25
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,520
3's a trend.
So if he goes three games and

26
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,360
he's look like crap, that's
going to be a problem for the

27
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,160
Pittsburgh Penguins, although
you know, they could always

28
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,800
bring up Mira shaft again, but
they're not going to send Sheila

29
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,840
down.
That causes a problem for the

30
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,720
the goalie rotation, though, So
we'll just have to see how that

31
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,040
goes this month.
Actually, they've been pretty

32
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,240
bad at home.
Six and six at home in general,

33
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,640
three and four in the month of
November.

34
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,800
That's not good.
And like I said, O and four and

35
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,880
only two points on those back to
backs.

36
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,520
So that means 2 overtime losses.
I won't.

37
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,480
I don't like to say overtime
losses.

38
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,120
You know, the way I am.
That's the way it works here on

39
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,360
the porch.
So same, same, same lineup as

40
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,040
last night for the Pittsburgh
Penguins first period.

41
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:30,480
Like I said, they got some bad
luck shot from Erickson act went

42
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,080
off Witherspoon skate.
He gets the he gets the rebound

43
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,800
he had Witherspoon had no idea
where that puck was.

44
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,800
Kind of felt bad for him a
little bit at first.

45
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,600
I was like, what the hell is
going on?

46
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:45,920
I thought, you know, Witherspoon
just missed him and then I saw

47
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:50,000
it went off his gate.
So, so hard to hard to know when

48
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,400
you get bad bad luck like that.
But right after that, Pittsburgh

49
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,000
Penguins go on a power play.
Kendall hits it out of the air.

50
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,960
That's his.
That's his first goal since they

51
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:03,680
last played Toronto.
So something about Kindle, like

52
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,280
in the Toronto playing against
Toronto, that's good.

53
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,720
I like to see him out there on
that first power play.

54
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,280
That's good for Kindle.
Still want to see him up on that

55
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,320
first line.
I know Hayes is still up there.

56
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,960
Hopefully they'll make some
changes when they play on Monday

57
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,720
against Philadelphia.
And then the the first line that

58
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,800
they just cannot play defense
sometimes.

59
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,720
That's what happened on that
second goal.

60
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:28,560
Power play, goal power play,
opportunity getting for the

61
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,280
Penguins.
They didn't get anything out of

62
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,200
it.
And I think this was the key.

63
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,840
When Toronto had their power
play at the end of the first

64
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,320
period and Lizotte had that
breakaway, I thought, OK, he

65
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,280
buries that.
They're going to stay in.

66
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:46,000
It's going to go back and forth,
back and forth, but no way

67
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,240
goalie stops it.
He was he was an absolute beast

68
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,320
tonight and that really just
gave him confidence and I think

69
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,040
just trickled down the rest of
the game.

70
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,360
I guess I don't really want to
go over all the goals in the

71
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,840
second period, but let's just
say it got the four to one real

72
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,040
quick.
Dakota Johnson put one in and

73
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,960
that was it for Sheila.
He gets the hook and that's

74
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,200
tough for Jarry because Jarry
played last night.

75
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,920
So now he's going to play again.
He and that showed when he first

76
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,920
got in there.
He had a bad play on that one

77
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,480
puck and went of five one.
You know, that's just after

78
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,680
that.
You're just kind of watching the

79
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,840
game to see what happens.
Sid did get a rebound, you know,

80
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,120
and he did get a goal.
So that made a 5:00 to 2:00.

81
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,560
But then after that it was
Toronto, Toronto, Toronto.

82
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,240
So Toronto wins 7/2.
I thought Toronto speed was very

83
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,120
good tonight.
And essentially they wanted it

84
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,680
more than the than the
Pittsburgh Penguins wanted it.

85
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,000
And I'm going to show you a
little graphic.

86
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,400
We're not going to do a
highlight tonight.

87
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,160
Not every night are we going to
do a highlight.

88
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,480
Sometimes they're just nothing
to highlight that's good or that

89
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,240
would, you know, make you make
me kind of show you what I'm

90
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,360
seeing on the ice tonight.
There was none of that.

91
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,000
So what I did was, and I do this
every year.

92
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,600
So if this is your first year
watching me, hey, hit that

93
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,120
subscribe button and hit the
like button.

94
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,960
If you like what you're here in
here, because every year this is

95
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,680
what I do, I kind of create this
what I call a normalized

96
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,480
standing because you know, you
could say you're in the you're

97
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,400
in the playoffs now because you
have more points.

98
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,200
But if you're not playing as
many games, it's hard to know

99
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,240
where you actually stand.
So what I do is I create this

100
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:27,840
normalized standing and I'm
going to I'm going to show that

101
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:29,320
now for the first time this
year.

102
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,760
I'm going to update it as the
year goes on.

103
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,360
It's a little early to be
looking at at the standings for

104
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,480
sure, but I think this will show
you this will tell you why

105
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,920
Toronto essentially wanted it
more tonight.

106
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,600
So, and by the way, I was able
to get my pointer to work now,

107
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,520
so I got the colored pointer.
It's a little bit bigger too.

108
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,200
This is Pittsburgh's record.
The last few games, you can see

109
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,200
that they've been projected
around 108 at the high.

110
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,840
Right now, they're projected at
99.

111
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,120
They've been hovering around 100
points projected typically.

112
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,640
That's pretty good that that'll
get you up, That'll get you a

113
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,000
playoff spot.
And so that's what I'm doing.

114
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,440
You'll never see.
You'll never see.

115
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,760
What you'll see now is I'll show
you all the wins and losses.

116
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,960
Here's their record, 12 and 12.
12 means that they have 5

117
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,240
overtime losses.
I'm not going to show overtime

118
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,040
losses.
I think it's too confusing.

119
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,600
So if you come here to look for
overtime losses, you've come to

120
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,760
the wrong place.
Let's look at the east.

121
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,000
So the east, this is how it
stands now.

122
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,320
In the Atlantic, you got Tampa
Bay, Montreal and Ottawa all at

123
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,800
the top.
They're trending for 112,

124
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,600
ninety, 996 points.
This is the division that

125
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,520
Toronto plays in.
So in the metro, then, this is

126
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,520
the division the Pittsburgh
Penguins play in New Jersey,

127
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,360
Carolina, Philadelphia.
You can see New Jersey and Tampa

128
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,240
Bay are kind of the cream of the
crop here.

129
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,920
Carolinas lagging behind.
I put Philadelphia in this third

130
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,280
part spot because I think they
won tonight and you can see the

131
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:06,120
Pittsburgh Penguins also have
100 and trending for 103, same

132
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,320
amount of games.
So Philly and and Pittsburgh are

133
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,680
are pretty much neck and neck,
which makes Monday's game very

134
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,520
interesting.
But where is Toronto?

135
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,840
You don't even see Toronto yet
right there.

136
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,560
They are second from the bottom
down here.

137
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,400
That's not good.
That is not where you want to

138
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,560
be.
So Toronto needs to make some

139
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,880
make some games up.
They've got a little bit more.

140
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,560
They don't have as many games as
some of these other teams like

141
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,360
Boston at 20, 6, the Rangers at
27 games.

142
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,800
So they still have games in hand
on them.

143
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,840
That was a good win for Toronto
tonight and they needed it.

144
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,960
Honestly.
Pittsburgh took out Buffalo.

145
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,040
You can see they're at the
bottom by a lot.

146
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,480
When you're down by more than I
would say 6 points, I would

147
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,840
consider that significant.
But you can see this is very

148
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,360
unique.
I think almost everybody is

149
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,800
trending for one point per game.
That means you're going to get

150
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,240
82 points.
That's pretty impressive.

151
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,120
And what that's telling me is
I'm going to stop sharing this

152
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,160
for a second.
What what this is telling me is

153
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:12,080
that the the East has been
playing a lot against the East

154
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,280
has been playing a lot against
the.

155
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,440
I'm sorry, I'm just trying to
get this together here, OK?

156
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,600
The East has been playing a lot
against the West.

157
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,080
So and that's that's really what
happened.

158
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:30,000
So now the Penguins are in a dog
fight for that playoff spot and

159
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,799
it's not going to be easy.
It's not going to be easy.

160
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,520
You know, on on the show
tonight, they basically were

161
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,200
saying, you know, that they
might be getting back some

162
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,920
players in a in a in about four
weeks, I'm sorry, in about four

163
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,240
games.
That's not going to help them.

164
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,880
The next four games are are
pretty interesting.

165
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,560
They play against, like I said,
Philadelphia, they're going on

166
00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:55,960
the road.
So they play Philadelphia and

167
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,760
Tampa Bay, 2 teams that are
above them in the standings if

168
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,320
if you were paying attention.
So I think those are, those are

169
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,920
big games.
And then they play at Dallas and

170
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,400
Anaheim's coming into
Pittsburgh.

171
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,120
And those are some of the cream
of the crop in the West.

172
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,000
I didn't do the West standings
yet because I don't think it's

173
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,800
necessary to look at both the
East and the West.

174
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,480
And so they've got some, they've
got some important games.

175
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,840
And then after that they play
Montreal.

176
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,440
That takes them to almost the
middle of December.

177
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,200
So that's what happens, you
know, when you're playing

178
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,600
against teams that got to score
points, They want a little bit

179
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,360
more.
Pittsburgh Penguins didn't want

180
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,440
it more.
But if you noticed in the game

181
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,880
tonight, they did mention
there's a Crosby countdown

182
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,040
going.
That's right.

183
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:45,520
He only needs nine more points
to tie the greatest of all time,

184
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,840
at least in my mind, because I'm
a little biased and I'm a I'm a,

185
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:54,840
I'm a Pittsburgh Penguins fan.
But nine points to tie the

186
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,360
infamous Mario Lemieux in all
time points.

187
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,000
And that's for the Pittsburgh
Penguins record.

188
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,040
Of course, you'll be moving up
in the points record tonight.

189
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:12,920
He did pass Buffalo Sabres.
Howard Chuck to get to 15 he he

190
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,640
was tied with Howard Chuck
coming in So he's 15 place all

191
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,560
alone now in goals with his
641st goal tonight.

192
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,480
It's always fun to talk about
accolades that Sydney does

193
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:25,760
because he's such a great
player.

194
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,800
But tonight the Pittsburgh
Penguins couldn't bring home the

195
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,600
win.
Big losers tonight 72 to their

196
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,520
Toronto Maple Leafs.
Hats off to the Maple Leafs.

197
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,480
They played a really good game.
Hats off to the fans making a

198
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,160
strip down the Pittsburgh.
I think Toronto is a world class

199
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,000
organization despite, you know,
everybody making fun of them for

200
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,800
what they do in the playoffs.
I think they're starting to get

201
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,160
it together.
So that's it for the hockey

202
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,160
Jesus.
