What insights does Tyler Kennedy share about Team Canada's performance?
Well, the Canadian team just was on a power play here as this game has progressed here with Chechia. They did not score. But, man, Joe and Tyler, Austin, what... You talk about ammunition here. They had Crosby with McDavid and Reinhardt with Taves and Makar, and now they switched McKinnon to a point. They have all of that to choose from on power plays, but Dostal and Goal for Chechia made some really nice saves, so it's still scoreless early.
This is... I love this hockey. This is hockey. Like how fast. Even little physicality. McDavid ran over someone. Sid ran over someone. It's going to be fun. I just hope Canada doesn't have too many... two superstars up front and they they be they're too fancy but again guy right there sam bennett like you know he's gonna be running around he's gonna be excited you know marshall marshall will get under somebody's skin you know that too tom tom wilson's good for a five minute once this tournament right where he catches someone looking the wrong way but Even I love those jerseys. I can't wait to see Team USA, but that's the first time I saw the Team Canada jerseys, and they look phenomenal.
Yeah, I think all those uniforms are great.
This is the best hockey on the planet. I agree totally. Even I love that Cooper that's in Tampa.
I think he's a phenomenal coach. I think he's a great, great coach. I think he's the longest-standing –
coach for one team right now right now he is yes he's been there for a long time listen to the pomp and joe show every wednesday to hear about starkey's card of the week from the baseball card castle and cranberry contest run every wednesday through friday at noon at the 93.7 the fan.com contesting page It's 10.50. Make the smart call. Buell Insurance, 724-443-5610. Cloudy today with a high of Marc-Andre Fleury, 29. A low of Darius Slate, 23. Fan weather brought to you by Secure Money Advisors, helping you get your retirement on the right track. All right, Tyler Kennedy, we're all riveted to this Canada game. What about the Penguins in the second half? I got a question in the mailbag the other day.
Should they unload veterans at the deadline? I said unload. They should get a couple for a Stanley Cup run. Why not?
Because that's not part of the plan, right? Well, what's the plan now?
Doesn't the plan change? I'm not saying sell the farm or go out and get a high-priced rental, but I would add a guy or two.
Yeah, but not an older guy.
Why?
They help you win. It depends who it is, but I think you've got to get someone under 30.
Well, they brought in Billy Guerin at the time, and he was an older guy who helped them. Matt Cullen. Matt Cullen.
Although I think that was even a waiver pickup, as I recall.
But you knew we were going to go deep in the playoffs, and that's why you picked those. We had a team that could make a run. The Penguins are a different story.
Yeah, I understand that. So you don't think this team is – you think there may be a one-round, one-and-done type?
Yeah, I can see that. I think there's a lot of guys that are overachieving, to be honest, right? Like, Brazzo's got more goals than he's ever had. Mantha's going to, like, 30-plus. Yeah, like... If they keep doing it, yeah, that's unreal. And we've seen Washington Capitals have guys that overachieve and they've went pretty deep in the playoffs. But to sell a younger guy to get an older guy, that doesn't make sense in the big picture. moving forward.
I don't think it would require selling off a younger guy who's prominent to your future. I think there are a lot of guys that could be made available, and there may be guys who are out of the playoffs. There are not going to be many teams out of the playoffs, so that's the hard thing. A lot of people will be in play, which means to get somebody, you may have to pay more than you want, and that's where I may agree with you, but I think there are going to be guys available who can really help just from the veteran aspect of it all.
Even talks. I see talks talking to Sid, but Yeah, it's going to be, I think coming back and seeing their first five games after the break to really see, okay, are we making a pusher where we at right now?
