What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Windows and doors everywhere here at 84 Lumber's brand-new Anderson Windows and Doors showroom in Mount Lebanon. This place is incongruent, Bob.
8,000 square feet of windows and doors, the largest Anderson showroom in the 84 Lumber family, and it's a big family. They have a lot of great stuff, but, man, it's right here on Washington Road in Mount Lebanon.
It's a bigger family than the Adams family, Bob. Bigger than Dick Van Patten in Eight is Enough. You remember that show?
I do. How about the Brady Bunch?
Bigger than the Brady Bunch. It's actually the biggest of its kind, first of its kind, in Pittsburgh. And you can come in and see and touch all the products. And, again, enter to win $5,000 toward a windows and doors purchase at this showroom. Plus, you get to say hello to Bob. which is an extra treat for everyone. We have Stanley Cup champion Tyler Kennedy. He's on the Sullivan Super Service fan hotline. And we're going to get into a little awards talk here, Bob.
League-wide and team-wide, right?
Yeah, we saw Eric Carlson win the Penguins MVP yesterday, Tyler. That was well-deserved, yes?
100%. The way he played when Sid and Malkin were out yesterday, The consistency, how good of a year he had, very well deserved.

All right, men who are gentle, let's do the awards, shall we, Bob? Let's start with the Hart Trophy.
MVP of the league. This is a tough one, actually.
Tyler, you want to go first here?
I think it's going to be McDavid.
We want you to pick your own guy, not who it's going to be, who you think it should be. Who would you vote for?
I think McDavid, too. I think he's the best player in the league. I think he's the most dynamic. I think the Edmonton Oilers aren't even in a playoff picture without this guy.
I would say that about a lot of guys, but I think also voter fatigue will get in the way of him. Sometimes when you win it as much as we've seen in all sports, you win it a lot and all of a sudden someone's looking in another direction. That's what happened, I thought, with Miles Garrett when he took over for T.J. Watt on a year. I thought Watt should have had it. I think you'll see that with Nikola Jokic. He's won it so many times. Voter fatigue sets in, and you'll see it in the NBA. It'll result in Victor Wimbanyama or SGA. Here, if it's up to me, I'm going to go off the rails here, Joe. You're not going to like this pick.
Why does TK believe Dan Muse deserves the Jack Adams award?
But I think, again, there's so many good – you could pick Kucherov from Tampa. He's been terrific for them. He's a point collector, and he makes Denzel play well. Nathan McKinnon.
That's my pick.
And you brought up Cole Coffield because he has 12 game-winning goals, and Montreal is contending for first place now all of a sudden. But I'm going to go with a guy that no one's going to take but me, probably, and that would be Macklin Celebrini, a 19-year-old who, without him, I think is just... I consider the age in this. I consider what he's done to their team.
Bob, I have to ask you, if it were Sid or going back in the day, Mario, with 100, however many McDavid winds up with, with almost 140 points. 35 points more than Macklin Celebrini. There's no way you'd be saying Macklin Celebrini deserves the heart.
I'm saying it because of what he's done at his age for that team. And to me, this is most valuable player. They're all valuable to every one of their teams.
If it was close, I'd buy it. He's 30 points back almost.
It's not just about points for me, though. It's about what he means to that team. At an age of 19, what he's been able to do.
He's been great.
I told you no one's going to do this but me. I'm going off the grid a little bit because I think I've gotten to the point where I hear McDavid's
