Hey guys. Now you want to see a contrast in life. It's party time here in Pittsburgh.

Everybody's all excited, even down in Arlington, Texas, where the pirates are doing

well. And then there's the funeral that's ongoing in Philly. My goodness. Taylor, without even

getting necessarily, you know, super specific or inside hockey or whatever. How stunning is this?

Yeah, I think, you know, after they lost game one, I was like, well, they're not going to

lose both games at home.

And then after they lost both games at home, I'm like, well, you figure they're going to

come out better on the road.

They did not.

And so you figure, like, I don't know, I did the live

shot. People are like, is there hope? I'm like, well, I wouldn't expect them to get swept,

but the right things are going. Well, I either, whether they get swept or not, I mean,

they're toast. Right. There's, I mean, there's only a century of precedent for that sort of thing that has nothing to do with Pittsburgh.

You don't win four games in a row in this league.

And you certainly don't win four games in a row when you've been outplayed to this extreme through the first three.

You know, the other night, this was after game two at PPG Paints Arena.

I was one of about three or four people around Brian Rust.

And Rust was asked, you know, is this team in shock was the word.

And you know how he'll do that thing where he waits a little bit and gives a thoughtful answer.

And he thought about it.

He just said, no.

They're in shock.
