I don't even hate Sidney Crosby anymore,
0:02
Steve. I don't know if I've said this.
0:03
I don't know if I've said that. Like,
0:05
the player pisses me off. Like, but I
0:08
can't help but just respect him in how
0:11
good he is. He's so good. He's like
0:14
>> I was there for a few years, but now
0:16
that we're back in playoff time, I'm
0:17
back. I'm back, baby. I'm back hating.
0:20
Don't get me wrong. I hope we take his
0:21
head off in this series. I really do.
0:23
But, like, I don't hate Sidney Crosby.
0:26
Like, he's like, as a person, like as as
0:29
spec Apparently, he's as spectacular a
0:32
person as you can be. So,
0:34
I hate how much I don't hate Sidney
0:36
Crosby anymore. I used to hate
0:38
everything about him, and now I can't
0:40
help but
0:41
respect him in a lot of ways.
0:44
Now, don't get me wrong, Steve.
0:46
I know
0:46
>> I don't even know you anymore. Stop
0:48
shaking your head because I There's
0:50
still Evgeni Malkin and
0:53
Kristopher Letang, who I [Β __Β ] despise
0:57
with every fiber in my being. I hope
0:59
Kristopher Letang back. I don't I
1:03
I hate Evgeni Malkin and his fugly ass
1:05
face. And then, don't get me started.
1:07
We've talked about Kristopher Letang
1:09
before. We've talked about it. I can't
1:11
stand Kristopher Letang. And one of
1:13
like, one of the big reasons, Steve, why
1:15
I want to win this series so badly, I
1:17
want to sweep the Penguins, not cuz I
1:19
want to beat Crosby. Not cuz I want to
1:21
beat the Penguins even. I want to beat
1:23
the Penguins so we can send
1:26
Kris Letang into a We I want his hockey
1:29
career in a [Β __Β ] coffin, 6 ft
1:33
underground.
1:33
>> Oh my god. That's so funny. And it
1:37
I So, right, I wonder if part of the
1:40
reason that you don't hate Crosby as
1:44
much as a lot of us do is because you
1:46
didn't get those initial years of
1:48
Crosby.
1:49
Yeah, I'm like, well, newer. Newer. I
1:51
started watching
1:52
>> Well, you you started during the season
1:54
when they played the Penguins in that
1:55
big series, right? When they Yeah. And
1:58
that was huge. So, I recorded yesterday,
2:01
please go check this out if you haven't
2:03
already.
2:04
I recorded a podcast with Fran from
2:06
Flyers Goal Scored By, who, you know,
2:08
Fran and I are old-school Flyers Twitter
2:10
guys right there. So, I wanted to talk
2:12
about just kind of the history of the
2:14
rivalry, and that was such an important
2:16
series for us. But, the reason that was
2:18
such an important series for us is
2:19
because Crosby so
2:22
insanely massacred the Flyers in those
2:25
two series he played against them before
2:28
that that we needed some sort of
2:30
vengeance there. We needed to feel
2:32
something positive because he just so
2:34
thoroughly crushed the Flyers hopes and
2:37
dreams in What was it? 2007-8 and
2:40
2008-09,
2:43
where they they win 4-1 and then 4-2.
2:46
And Crosby's a different player now than
2:49
he was then. I mean, he's the same guy
2:51
in a lot of respects, but he used to
2:53
just be the biggest crybaby on the
2:56
planet. And the way he would just kind
2:59
of flop and the way he would just whine
3:02
to the referees all the time. It was I I
3:04
think the antithesis of a Philadelphia
3:06
athlete, and he drove us all insane. We
3:10
hated his guts. He hates our guts cuz he
3:12
does By far, his best numbers are
3:14
against the Flyers. And it's just funny
3:17
to hear that you hate Letang more. I was
3:19
I It was going to be one of my questions
3:20
for you today was So, Fran and I were
3:23
talking about the guys we hated the
3:24
most, and like, Crosby's up there, of
3:26
course, but like,
3:27
you know, I really hate a lot of the the
3:29
background guys, like, Darius
3:30
Kasparaitis, Tyler Kennedy, those real
3:33
pain-in-the-ass guys who just, for some
3:35
reason, just get up when it's Flyers
3:37
time. Max Talbot, you know, even though
3:39
Max Talbot was a Flyer, I I never liked
3:41
the guy. And is Letang your number one
3:45
most hated Penguin? Yes.
3:47
You didn't even let me finish. That's
3:48
great.
3:49
>> It's not It's not close. I hate I hate
3:51
Kris Letang. I
3:53
>> So, what is it about Letang? What What
3:54
is it about him that you
3:56
>> I I hate I just I don't like his the
3:59
like, he's just such He just has so much
4:03
hate in his heart for nothing. And I
4:05
just remember I'll never forget the
4:06
Kimmo Timonen fight. He was such a
4:08
little [Β __Β ] I shouldn't say that word.
4:10
That's really bad. Um, he He was such a
4:13
[Β __Β ] [Β __Β ] for how he
4:16
Kris Letang
4:18
I've said this before. Kimmo Timonen had
4:19
never fought anybody. And then, Kris
4:21
Letang drops the gloves with him,
4:23
beats the [Β __Β ] out of Kimmo Timonen, and
4:25
then gets up like he's all high and
4:26
mighty. I'm like, congratulations. You
4:28
basically just beat up a 4-year-old
4:31
boy. Like, what are you What are you
4:32
talking about?
4:33
>> [laughter]
4:34
>> Um,
4:35
so, I can't stand him. I can't stand
4:37
him. I think He's He's always one of the
4:40
guys who
4:42
um
4:42
he's
4:43
constantly like, he starts [Β __Β ] all the
4:46
time, never finishes it. He hasn't
4:49
gotten in a fight in years. Uh, last
4:51
time he probably because the last time
4:52
he got in a real fight, he got his clock
4:54
cleaned by T.J. Oshie. So,
4:57
I just think Kris Letang is is just such
5:01
I He's got like an ego I don't know,
5:04
man. I just There's It's his face, the
5:06
way he looks.
5:08
Everything. I just hate him.
5:10
I hate I love I love how much you hate
5:13
him. I hate him.
5:15
I hate him. I hate uh Evgeni Malkin for
5:18
so many reasons because he
5:19
>> Malkin came up a lot last night, and
5:21
Fran, that was his number one hated guy
5:24
right there. And I I think I have to be
5:25
up there with him because, you know, one
5:27
of the things that people forget about,
5:28
and I'm sure we'll see it in this
5:29
series, is just how low-key dirty of a
5:33
player Low-key? What are you talking
5:35
about? I think if you're a casual NHL
5:37
fan, you don't know how dirty he is. Oh,
5:40
I think he's done enough to cement
5:42
himself as a pretty [Β __Β ] dirty
5:43
player. I don't think he's one of the
5:45
top five guys you think of when you
5:47
think about dirty players, but he's
5:49
absolutely a guy who has done a ton of
5:51
dirty stuff, and he's done a lot in the
5:54
Flyers-Penguins rivalry over the year.
5:55
And he is very worthy of the hate. He's
5:57
also a guy who's completely dunked on
5:59
the Flyers his entire career. So, I
6:01
would love to just shut these guys down
6:04
in this series.
6:06
>> I want this to be a funeral procession
6:09
after this after this after this series.
6:12
I want Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin. I
6:15
don't know what's going to happen with
6:16
Malkin, but like, Letang
6:19
Letang sucks.
6:20
>> suck ass. You suck ass. You always have,
6:22
if you ask me. As a hockey player,
6:25
awesome player. As a person, go [Β __Β ]
6:28
yourself.
6:29
>> [laughter]
6:30
>> I I hope that this is the end for both
6:32
of them as players. I really do. Malkin,
6:34
I don't think so. I think Malkin's got a
6:36
couple more years.
6:37
>> done. Done. And I want us to be the team
6:40
that [Β __Β ] ends that [Β __Β ] I want I
6:43
want to hammer every nail in that
6:46
[Β __Β ] coffin, Steve. I really do.
6:48
Like, it's just
6:50
Oh, man.
6:51
>> what I'm about, dude. That's what I want
6:52
cuz this is about exercising some
6:54
demons. This is about moving on to the
6:55
future. The Flyers are the team of the
6:58
future. The Penguins, what do they got?
