First off just want to send out some stick taps for yesterday Satyar Shaw taking the

reins and steering the ship in the right direction so I just wanted to send some

props to Satyar for for filling in for both myself and Jeff yesterday

Matt Markazian for Jeff Merrick today Jeff will be back on Thursday

You will have me again tomorrow.

So last night, big night in the Eastern Conference

Wild Card race and Pittsburgh really, really struggling here.

And you start to wonder, you know, last night, Dylan Ferguson gets called up by the senators.

He makes 47 saves.

It's not a fault of the Pittsburgh Penguins for not trying literally everything, you know,

throwing all they have in the kitchen sink at them, but in this part of the season,

you got to have those wins against teams that are not in the playoffs.

And last night the 2-1 loss moves them out of the second wild card spot thanks to a big win by the Florida Panthers and and in that game

Sasha Barkov becomes the all-time leading Panther score passing his former

running mate in Jonathan Huberdowing just on Barkov.

He's one of those players that firstly

he would hope that he would stay a little bit healthier than he has

throughout his career especially the last three years.

And so Barkoff is just one of those guys that you really, really wish could just stay healthy.

Play a full season, because when he has played a

full season or close to it we've seen him put up big numbers and and this year

you know he's been kind of bit by the injury bug he's played I think 58 games and it's just been a shame because you you start to wonder about guys like that and say well what if they could stay healthy?
