Paul Bissonnette

Carlson is Eric Carlson of 10 years ago.

I don't know what was up with...

maybe Mike Sullivan coaching him, something there, but he is a different player this year.

He scored the most old-school Eric Carlson goal, new-age Kael McCarr to tie it up, and then super rookie Kendall comes down, buries it.

They got the lead in Carolina.

They lose an OT, but they get a point, but the reason I bring it up is you were going to get on the Penguins' bandwagon, but now until Malkin is re-signed by them, you're not?

I think he wants two years.

I think maybe that they're like, maybe they were offering one.

This is total guessing.

And he's like, give me the two years here.

That's not true.

He's going to have a Chino Russian bobblehead that's made of diamonds in the next month.

He moves into the igloo, they can't knock it down.

I think you sold it at one point.

No, I never did.

Or you were paper hands, whatever it is.

He never sold it?

It's a double-edged sword because, yeah, pissed-off Geno, we've seen that sicko mode.

But then if he completely lights it up and the Penguins go on this magical run, then maybe the money that he's offered somewhere... Now, he's made $151 million, right?

If he wants to be on the Penguins, he's going to be on the Penguins.
