And none of us, none of us, not me, not limits, not you, the listener, not even Bob, if he was honest with himself, not Pat Brisson, not even Kyle Dubas, who was absolutely the general manager of the year, could have predicted all these things would happen.

You ready?

Have you grabbed a seat?

Now take a seat.

Not me, not you, not Pat Brisson, not even Kyle Dubas could have guessed.

You ready for the list?

Tony Mantha, a journeyman forward coming off a really bad knee injury, was going to come out and lead the team in goals with a career-high 31 at age 31.

Anybody have that?

Didn't think so.

Eric Carlson, a total bust in his first two seasons here.

Total bust.

Anybody have even two months into the season that somewhere around midseason, maybe a little after, he was going to recapture his Norris Trophy form then and become the most dynamic offensive defenseman the Penguins have had since Paul Coffey just all of a sudden turn on his Norris form again at age 35?

Didn't have it.

Sorry, but I don't apologize, actually.
