00:00
you know thinking about Sullivan if Dubas came to him and was like listen you know and the Fenway
00:05
people were like listen where you know I know we still got Sid and all but we're gonna start the
00:10
wheels of like really starting this thing over you know we're we're gonna be you know ripping
00:16
things down and we're gonna try to rebuild and do all that we played that clip a couple weeks ago of
00:21
him talking about rebuilding the team good luck it would it wouldn't stun me if Sullivan with some
00:28
of these other higher profile jobs out there like the Rangers and the Bruins for him to be like listen
00:35
maybe we should cut the cord here I don't want to do a rebuild I've won two cups I want to try win
00:39
another one before I'm done it wouldn't stun me if Sully wanted out if they told him they were going
00:44
to rip the whole thing down that was let me ask you this um so here's here's the way I see it
00:50
you strip that thing down as you call it studs and bolts or whatever let me tell you what's going to
00:57
happen to that uh fancy ppg arena that you uh fill up every night it's gonna be half full no one's
01:04
gonna go because when they lost back in the 80s nobody went to the igloo nobody went to the games
01:10
no one was paying do you know how much money it costs to go to a penguin game I mean decent seats two
01:16
of them are three hundred dollars those are decent those are decent seats I'm not even talking good
01:21
seats like bad seats are a hundred dollars so no way are people gonna pay that money in this economy
01:30
to go watch that crappy Shaq team that never wins and don't tell me they're just gonna pay a hundred
01:39
dollars to go watch Sidney Crosby you know what they've already done that and won three Stanley Cups
01:44
with him been there done that thanks so much they won't even watch on television and while I'm at it
01:52
I've said this before I'll say it again they got crappy announcers too I mean they have turned that
01:57
thing into the biggest joke money can buy Mike Lang is turning in his grave I could call games they're
02:06
better on a bottle of tequila than those boring ass stiffs they got calling their games and that loser
02:12
hack kid GM and now no one's gonna go to that arena trust me you next year we're gonna be talking
02:20
about this and I'm gonna make fun of them until no end when that place is half full every night watch
02:25
yeah it's one of the things uh people don't understand about I get oh where are the fans
02:30
where are the fans unless you are you know you know the rangers the red wings the bruins you know
02:37
these teams yes they sell out every night whether the team's good or bad their original six teams
02:42
they're all everywhere else in hockey if the team isn't good people aren't there now I got they got
02:50
the same problem on Long Island right now they built a new arena three years ago this year second half of
02:54
the year it was empty why are no one going on their games because since the island were brought into
03:01
creation if the team isn't good people don't go that was right in the 80s in the 80s everyone was
03:08
there because they were the best team in hockey when the team is good people are there whether
03:13
they're playing in the dump or they're playing in the Shangri-La it doesn't make a difference just
03:18
because you're in a fancy new building doesn't mean people are going to spend 125 bucks to go sit and
03:24
watch a mediocre to less hockey team so it's just it doesn't matter it's a $500 three-hour excursion
03:32
you go there it's 300 for seats it's 200 for drinks and food it's 500 bucks to watch them lose I have
03:40
gone to see them play you know 20 times and it's always full those days are over it's over if they're
03:48
stripping it down and then they get rid of Sullivan get ready to lose money they are going to lose money
03:56
hand over fist as a franchise I guarantee it I guarantee it in fact I got to get a hold of Lemieux
04:03
myself and tell him somebody has to tell him to stop the bleeding I saw him at the airport believe me we
04:09
talked I told him I go I could do it better high and drunk than these stiffs you got calling the games
04:15
they're so bad I don't even know their names and they've gone through like five of them they've had
04:20
every other person try that seat and they can't do it you can't replace Mike Lang only Pharrell
04:26
I can do it not only that I can do better than Kyle Dubas he's a you know what a giant P
