00:00Of course, Mike Sullivan, the head coach, here he was talking about it.
00:05I did not see it brewing.
00:06I knew there was going to be an intensity to the start of the game.
00:10You know, I knew that I knew how invested both teams were and what it meant to the players.
00:17I didn't anticipate, you know, it to start the way it started.
00:22But I did anticipate an emotional start, probably a physical start.
00:27And so, you know, it was an electric environment.
00:34It was an emotional environment.
00:37And both sides were, they were vested.
00:39It was, you know, it set the tone for the rest of the hockey game, which was an emotionally
00:47intensive game.
00:49One of the more intense games that I've been, that I've certainly witnessed and been associated
00:54with.
00:55Listen, this guy's a great coach.
00:58He's got Stanley Cups now.
01:01And seriously, a couple of things, one, I think the Penguins, you know, there's, I have
01:07always felt there's been a problem in sports with turnover and change.
01:12You know, just doing it for the sake of change to me is a bad idea in life.
01:18People changing things that work, that have worked, that does work, just because they
01:24don't have players that are in their prime anymore.
01:27Sidney Crosby and Morgan, when they won all those Cups with Fleury and Murray, they were
01:31at the peak of their youth and their best point of their career.
01:37They were at their all-time highest players.
01:39They're not winning again.
01:40They're not winning another Stanley Cup.
01:41The rest of the team sucks, right?
01:43You know, Crosby's still great.
01:44The rest of the team sucks.
01:46Mike Sullivan does not suck, okay?
01:49If they fire that guy just to change, they need a change in the room.
01:53I hear that all the time.
01:55They just need a change.
01:56No, they don't.
01:57That guy's a great coach.
01:58Secondly, I think his daughter's married to that Charlie McAvoy, right, and had a baby.
02:03I think he's got a grandkid now.
02:05He's got a grandchild and he's, you know, obviously from Boston and he was with Boston
02:10and everyone always thought he'd be the, you know, Boston Bruins coach and he's been in
02:15Pittsburgh forever.
02:17I just think they would, it would behoove them to keep him.
02:20I think that they should not even remotely consider getting rid of Mike Sullivan.
02:26If I'm wrong, why is he the coach of Team USA?
02:29Because he sucks?
02:30Or because the Penguins suck?
02:32Is he the head coach because he's, you know, he's on this loser?
02:35He's got that job because he's a great coach and they should just stop with all their nonsense.
02:41The Penguins' problem, Mike, as you know, is they have no talent and no goaltending.
02:49Let's just stop with all this nonsense that it's his fault.
02:52What they should do is give him a new extension long-term and let him coach his way through
02:57this mess.
02:58And they need to draft again like they did with Lemieux and Crosby.
03:01They need to get their hands on another star player or two to start it all up over again.
03:06That's how you win Stanley Cups.
03:08Look, I still believe Conor McDavid is going to win a Stanley Cup.
03:13This guy in Colorado, he's won every award known to man.
03:19You know, McKinnon, he's got every award known to man.
03:23The Hart, he's got a Stanley Cup.
03:25McDavid's going to get his Stanley Cup.
03:27He's too good not to.
03:28Name one great player.
03:30They even bought Ray Bork a Stanley Cup.
03:33Name one great player in history, really, that doesn't have a Stanley Cup, that was
03:38just an unbelievable great player.
03:41McDavid's going to get one, too.
03:47Maybe, maybe he will.
03:50Crosby lost a game with Canada for the first time since 2010.
03:53Then he won again today.
03:54The USA Canada game had 4.4 million viewers.
03:58Most watched non-Stanley Cup final hockey game since 2019.
04:02I also saw, now I know it wasn't a big weekend.
04:05There wasn't a lot of other things going on.
04:07It was the most bet sporting event at a couple of the books throughout the entire weekend
04:13of everything going on.
04:14So the USA Canada game, it got a lot of buzz.
