Fly Penguins Fly Episode 96: "A Conversation With Jesse Marshall“ 

Welp, there’s no avoiding it. Once or twice a season you’ve gotta face off against the greatest and do your best to contain them. The Penguins will take on precisely that challenge in Alberta Province tonight, going up against Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. They, like Crosby and Malkin are an honest-to-goodness 2-headed monster and and a gale force squall, whether faced one at a time or collectively on the EDM PP1.

For a deeper dive on just what the Penguins D-corps intend to do in reckoning with said Western Conference superstars this evening, read through the piece Josh Yohe published in today’s Athletic: https://theathletic.com/3724036/2022/10/24/penguins-oilers-mcdavid/ [If you’re a big fan and you don’t already subscribe to The Athletic, all I can say is this: It’s cheap and the best investment of sports-dollars you will make this year. Do it.]

LET'S GO PENS!!

JEFF TAYLOR

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Producer Sam start off discussing the Battle of Alberta last night capped off with an overtime goal from Connor McDavid, and share their thoughts on the distinct kicking motion that disallowed Blake Coleman's potential game winner. Then, Colby Armstrong adds to the conversation about the goal decision and comments on what Darryl Sutter had to say postgame, Calgary's top guys not showing up, and why the NHL needs to see Nathan MacKinnon and Connor McDavid face off (21:53). Later on, Doug MacLean checks in from Ohio to share his take on the kicking motion, before getting into the Leafs' supporting cast, Mark Giordano's new deal, and the priority of signing Jack Campbell to an extension (42:16).

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! The boys are back to break down the last 3 games of the battle of Alberta and how sweet it is to not only see the Oilers bounce the Flames in 5 but also for it to go exactly how we predicted! We break down the ridiculous narrative of "but just one guy beat us", how much we are loving Woodcroft more and more each game, play by play analysis of games 3, 4, and 5, who we would prefer to see in the conference finals and so much more.  This podcast is becoming the highlight of our weeks and anyone who hasn't checked it out is missing out on the very best Oilers content out there. Get on the train early and for god sakes tell a friend!

Elliotte is back in the car! The Battle of Alberta lived up to the hype. Jeff and Elliotte react to the Oilers closing out an absolutely wild series…and the controversial disallowed Blake Coleman goal (2:30). Did Markstrom lose the series for Calgary (6:15)? Was something up with Calgary’s top line (8:45)? The Flames are now left wondering ‘what’s next?’. In the East, Carolina players channel their inner Brind'Amour and keep the home winning streak alive with a big win over New York (12:25), and Trochek finally gets a goal (14:45). 

Despite a huge game and an incredible goal from Nathan MacKinnon, St Louis pulls off the win in overtime to stay alive (17:25). The guys wonder why have players stopped trying to cross centre ice before shooting for the empty net (20:15), and discuss Tyler Bozak earning his $750k in one shot with the huge game-winner (22:15) to force a Game 6. In non-playoff news, Barry Trotz, John Tortorella and others go through the interview process in Philly as the coaching carousel starts to spin (24:45), and Rick Westhead reports on some awful allegations surrounding hockey Canada (26:45).

Real Kyper and Bourne are joined by friend of the program Aaron Ward to weigh-in on the Battle of Alberta ahead of Game 5, if the Flames can contain Connor McDavid, and impact of not having a healthy Chris Tanev on the ice (00:35). Afterwards, Peter Loubardias stops by to share to remark on what's happened to the Flames so far this series, the need for more from Calgary's top guys, highlights those not named on Connor McDavid making the difference for Edmonton, and comments on Darryl Sutter's change of tone (22:51). To wrap up today, Nick, Justin and Sam react to Mark Messier's comments on The FAN Morning Show about the different feel of the 2021-22 Leafs, before discussing the challenge of building a Cup contender in the salary cap era (42:37).

Love @mattel collaborating with @aaronwheelz on his own remote control wheelchair action figure. 
@warriors #kevonlooney is the #mvp so far vs the @dallasmavs and last night watching #lukadoncic and #stephcurry go off was mesmerizing.  
#nbaplayoffs back in Boston tonight for @celtics vs @miamiheat and #jimmybutler needs help.  
#stanleycupplayoffs @nyrangers aren’t going to win many games with #artemipanarin and #chriskreider not getting any shots on goal.  @canes beat them 2-0 last night and heading back to #msg tomorrow and I will be there!  But right the ship or this will be over quickly.  
And @angushout @edmontonoilers tied it up with @nhlflames in the #battleofalberta even though they had two goals disallowed.  What a #goal by #connormcdavid last night. 
Congrats to @orioles for ending a 15 game losing streak last night to @raysbaseball on 13th inning #walkoffhomerun by #rougnedodor and who isn’t psyched for @mets #doubleheader in chilly #colorado today?

Doug MacLean joins Real Kyper and Bourne to share his adventures on the road, before weighing in on message conveyed during the Leafs' final media availability, if he believes there are major moves to come, and his top priorities for Kyle Dubas and Co. this offseason (00:19). Afterwards, co-host of The FAN Morning Show JD Bunkis joins to talk about his thoughts following Toronto's round of exit interviews, the disconnect between the team's brass and the fanbase, and his doubts about the central message of "staying the course" (27:04). To send you into the weekend, Nick, Justin and Sam sort through the news and notes around the league and chat about the spotlight on Brady Tkachuk amid the Battle of Alberta (46:59).

So #jimbofisher you going to slap #nicksaban because my money is on Nick. Why can’t we all just get along? This #nil is here to stay and don’t expect anything less from @aggiefootball than another 8-4 season.  @alabamafbl reloads every year.  And the going after @deionsanders #travishunter @gojsutigersfb too?  What’s going on?  #collegefootball is going to be fun in #2022 for sure.  
@nyrangers blew a chance to steal one last night @canes but lost in OT 2-1.  
@angushout the #battleofalberta got off to a rousing start. @nhlflames blew a 6-2 lead and held on 9-6 over @edmontonoilers it’s going to be a great series in the #stanleycupplayoffs #nbaplayoffs @dallasmavs got blown out of #chasecenter by @warriors who had 7 players in double figures.  
Love @pac12conference going with two best teams by winning % playing in conference championship game. Divisions should go soon too.  Tear it all up.

The people loved the playoff preview breakdown with Fraser so much before the playoffs got rolling we knew as soon as the remaining game 7's wrapped up we need to do another for round 2. Come listen to the heartbreak of a leafs fan and what he thought of the series as well as an in depth look into all 8 first round matchups, what went wrong and where we see things trending for each teams next round or offseason respectively. Also we go over our predictions for round 1 and see how we matched up against each other before making our predictions for round 2. Once we finished breaking down all other series but the Alberta ones we dove into the round 2 matchups for the Atlantic, Central and Metropolitan divisions saving the best for last. We finished this breakdown with the epic 7 game series for both the Calgary Flames and the Edmonton Oilers leading into a juicy discussion of the battle of Alberta we have all been waiting for. Some serious shots are fired, laughs are had and if we do say so ourselves some high level hockey analysis (possibly biased) is laid out for all to hear. This is the perfect primer for die hard hockey fans and casuals alike, you don't want to miss it and its also definitely worth your time to go back and binge the previous 7 episodes of this Oilers Uncensored podcast as they are the best possible way to get your NHL content.... sorry Biz and Whit!

What a fun first round! Jeff and Elliotte recap each of the five-game sevens from the weekend including the two OT thrillers on Sunday with Dallas-Calgary (1:10) and Penguins-Rangers (5:30). They then look ahead to the off-season for the teams that were eliminated — Pittsburgh (9:40), Dallas (14:40), Toronto (21:10), Boston (36:30), L.A. (41:50) and Washington (45:40) — and preview the four matchups we’ll see in the next round — Battle of Alberta (49:30), Battle of Florida (51:20), Colorado-St. Louis (52:50) and Rangers-Hurricanes (54:30).
