all right. I hope someone left to do a wellness check. I'm Brendan Shabath. Not sure what happened there.

Man, things are going great. Woo! All right. Let's get to business. We hit the rag now stuff.

So let's get to the Red Wings. Not because I want to, but because we kind of have to. And, man,

it's been a quotable week in Detroit. And Todd McClellan basically hit his team with a bus.

They play Pittsburgh tonight. Penguins overcome two different two-gold deficits last night to

dump truck the Islanders. I think it was eight three final.

Again, you're playing another team on a back-to-back.

This is very similar to the Ottawa game,

except this time this team isn't missing five defensemen.

But Todd McClellan, he's not happy.

And look, we can talk about who to blame and all this stuff.

Basically, he didn't walk back his earlier comments when he referred to some players as just jerseys.

He also talked about we shouldn't have to implore guys to perform.

He was talking about, like, we shouldn't have to be able to extract effort

and from players this time of year. But this is where we are. Look, here are all your silos.

All right. Hey, hey, Farmer McDonald, right? I know that the Eisenman silo. I know it. And I'm tired

of it. And I can say now that it's going to change because I'm done.

We move on and go, okay, fine.

Then you got the coaching silo.

Hey, Todd, you didn't want to talk about March things and stop doing March things.

So then the coach wants to pass the blame onto the player's silo.

And it's, well, these guys aren't working hard enough.
