What is the significance of Sidney Crosby's absence for the Penguins?
What a perfect guest we have today, Bob. Mr. Tyler Kennedy.
Tyler Kennedy. Kennedy, Kennedy.
Stanley Cup champion. Better known as TK all day. Sitting right between us here, where Ron's fat head usually is. Let me adjust my camera. How is everybody today? Bob, Tyler, Limits, everybody good?
Great. Beautiful day. I see the end of the tunnel when it comes to weather. I see temperatures rising, no snow. I love it. Golf season is in the air.
I spent an entire paycheck on golf, Tyler, in one day at Tiburon this past Saturday. By 36 holes, no doubt.
In the golf shop there?
Plus the golf shop.
How close was Sidney Crosby to playing in the big game?
Yeah. Now the nice thing there is they let you play it. Well, they let you, you pay 500 bucks to play around a golf and then they let you play. If you play a second round in the same day, half price, like that's some kind of treat, but compared to 500, it is. And then yes, the guy spent a whole paycheck.
Do you go in the lazy river after?
Is there a lazy river there? Yeah, there's a lazy river. No, I didn't even know, Bob.
Well, there's two Ritz properties. That's one of them. The one you played is the Ritz Tiburon. Oh, yeah.
There's another one. Two of the guys I played with are hockey players. Who's that? Nobody. I mean, they're like junior A hockey players. They're on their way up, though. The dad was telling me, no, they're going away.
What impact does Crosby's injury have on the Penguins' playoff chances?
They were like... 16 and 15 maybe they're going away to canada to live with people and play and um talking about pittsburgh as a hockey town he was like we've been to pittsburgh a lot to the muse center he called it to go i mean this is like an epicenter for hockey in the united states pittsburgh is it not
Yeah, like youth hockey is growing like crazy. Every rink's doing great. And we're finally the ones hosting tournaments and bringing people here. I always remember, especially early, like 10 years ago, we'd always have to go to Toronto. We'd have to go to Chicago. We'd have to go to Buffalo to go play good tournaments. Now we're the ones that are hosting the tournaments, which is so huge for youth hockey. It is crazy. Again, hockey's great. Like even my classes, like just, especially with, you know, the boys and girls team winning the Olympics, it adds such an excitement for these young kids. And speaking of hockey, guess who just came first place in the middle school division? what yeah a little kennedy kennedy kennedy little little uh swickly academy their middle school nice place in the division wow first year how about that dimitri buzzing out there that is a beautiful thing congrats on that first year i'm excited i'm excited to see where it keeps going once we get that varsity team going you should jump on the ice disguise yourself and play
Well, some of these varsity kids on Swickland, like they're monsters. Like they're big, big guys, you know. But again, once we get the varsity and that team going, watch out. We're going to have a powerhouse. We have one already, but.
Hold on a second here. Bob has his own. First of all, Limits, how are you today? I'm doing wonderful. I'm glad to hear that. And I wanted to acknowledge your presence to our left behind the glass. Thank you. Good to see you, TK. Nice to see you too, Buds. You're getting the mustache going again.
Can you really see it?
No, I shaved on Tuesday. Really? Tuesday night. Maybe it was yesterday morning. Something like that. Oh, I see. You're pretty shaven right now. Bob has his own monogrammed. What do you call it when your name is on it? Monogrammed, right?
How is youth hockey growing in Pittsburgh?
Or is there a name for that, Limits? The marquee? No. If I had a thing, like if you had a shirt that said Austin on it or Limits 2, you had your own brand, that would be what? Monogrammed, right? I think so. So Bob has Pumpin' Ain't Easy stuff. Look at this, Bob. He's got a TK winter hat on. I see the hat. TK. I love the logo. Where can I get one of those? I'll bring one. The TK logo.
I got a couple at home. I got a couple hoodies for the boys. I'll set the boys up.
Did you create that? I like it.
Yeah. I started this hockey company like eight years ago, and I needed a logo, and we just kind of came up.
