But this is the game that has made me think...

That they will get to the playoffs and can make some damage.

Texter, why did the buddy say Waffle House instead of IHOP?

Yeah.

Kind of a thing.

Texter, I share your enthusiasm limits, but can you please stop with the pack your bags jinx?

Do you really believe in sports broadcasting jinxes?

Maybe play-by-play wise, but I mean, it's not like I'm saying IUK is at the goal line or anything here.

Shout out to our guy.

Here's Marty in New York.

What's up, Marty?

Yeah, so I'm from Pittsburgh, but I'm working in New York this week.

But yeah, I was excited you started off the show with talking about the Penguins and not the Pirates because that last night's game just started off a little bit rough and I was nervous and then that second period came and it was just an explosion of excitement.

I was in a

New York bar near Buffalo, and everybody's wondering why I'm watching the game on my phone, freaking out.

But I think the biggest thing about this game and then moving forward is that just Crosby being in the lineup, getting the line back to some cohesiveness and being deep down the middle just makes it a lot tougher for teams like New York that aren't very strong at center to match up with us.

So I was just curious, you know, if you think once we get Geno back, I'm not sure what's going on with his hand.

None of these other teams really worry me.

I think with our depth and the way we're playing, we can make a pretty good run into the playoffs.

The only thing I'm a little worried about is our goaltending.
