00:00You know, I seriously thought they'd rue the day they let him go, Mike, that they let Flurry

00:09leave Pittsburgh because they basically sold him out for Murray.

00:16And then Murray's career, I won't deny he was part of two cups.

00:21I won't deny he did the job.

00:23But then when he left, he got waived by Toronto.

00:27He doesn't even matter anymore in the NHL at all.

00:29He doesn't even have a gig.

00:31And Flurry, the whole time, he went to Chicago, he went to Minnesota.

00:37He always could still play.

00:39And I thought the Penguins, the Penguins have had the worst goaltending I've ever seen in

00:44my life since the day they got rid of him.

00:47They have literally, I mean, these guys, they've got, oh my God, they're so bad.

00:52Oh, they're so bad.

00:53They're so awful.

00:54I mean, they have no chance to win with these goalies.

00:58It doesn't matter who they start.

01:00All of these guys that they have are awful.

01:02All of them, including their, you know, their starter, their backup, the young kid, Bloomcliff,

01:07they all suck.

01:08They're all horrible.

01:09And you know it.

01:10Jari's horrible.

01:11He's like the River Kwai.

01:12I mean, my guy is like the Suez Canal.

01:15He literally is.

01:17He stinks.

01:18It will be an emotional scene tonight with the Flower in between the pipes for the Minnesota

01:24Wild as they come to Hockey Night at the PPG in Pittsburgh.

01:27There is Flower yesterday, Scotty.

01:29Very emotional.

01:30I don't know.

01:31Like, I don't want anything different than another game, right?

01:35Like, don't expect much else.

01:39I don't know, I feel like sometimes, growing older, I get a little softer than I used to.

01:46With emotions, it feels like, I don't know, if they're kids or something, but anyway.

01:50Yeah, so I think just maybe deep breath, you know, look around, take, take a good look

01:56around, right?

01:57To keep good memories.

01:58Like I said, I was very fortunate to play here for so long and a lot of good souvenirs

02:05from this place.

02:06So it'll be nice to do it one more time.

02:10I mean, they screwed this up nice and juicy.

02:13They really did.

02:14He was such a great goalie and they let him go.

02:18Like, how bad was their GMs and their decision makers in the front office?

02:24And to this day, they've had horrible decision makers in the front office.

02:28Their management core in Pittsburgh has been a disaster.

02:31And I don't think anyone likes Kyle Dubas either.

02:34I really don't.

02:35And Rutherford was an old geezer.

02:37And I mean, it just goes on and on and on.

02:39I can't even believe, to be honest with you, and I'm going to say it, that Mario Lemieux

02:45let it happen.

02:46I can't even believe that he, as the owner, let it happen.

02:50He's like, he's one of these guys, he lets them make their decisions.

02:54He's one of these owners that lets his GMs and his front office call the shots.

02:59And I think that, at some level, that's a mistake.

03:03You can't always let them call every decision the right one, because the decisions they've

03:09made in goal have been franchise-changing, utterly.

03:13They went from being a five-time Stanley Cup champ to a chump.

03:17They're a chump now.

03:18They suck.

03:19I mean, like, they can barely win a game.

03:21And then they want me to go to a game on the 16th and pay $300 for two seats.

03:27They charge through the nose in Pittsburgh for tickets to watch that crappy hockey team.

03:33And the only thing you're paying to see in that arena is to watch number 87 skate around

03:39and Malkin to loaf around and play half-assed.

03:43Malkin don't even try no more.

03:45He don't even try.

03:46Like, he got all that money, he's like, this is unbelievable, these people.

03:50In Russia, they would have put him in prison.

03:52These people are just giving me all this money, and I don't even play any more.

03:55I don't even try.

03:56He doesn't even try any more.
