Oh, goalie interference. It's such a hot mess right now.

If you were to guess, when is Horny gonna be healthy?
Jason Mackey
2:25
I'd say about two weeks.

Do you think the committee that chose the NHL Top 100 regrets not including Malkin? Or is that mostly just people here in Pittsburgh thinking they were nuts to leave him off the list?
Jason Mackey
2:26
No, they're definitely nuts for leaving him off, and plenty of others outside of Pittsburgh agree with us. I do think they regret it. It's just awful, a horrible decision.f

could Minnesota trade Cullen to another team, or does he have no trade clause?
Jason Mackey
2:26
They could. He does not.

How does that Las Vegas game rate for you in terms of best games ever at the arena?  Watching on tv was emotional and exciting, can't imagine what it was like to actually be there.
Jason Mackey
2:26
Non-playoff game at PPG Paints Arena, it's No. 1. It was amazing.

In the coming years, do you ever foresee a situation where Fleury could be back as a Penguin?  Wouldn't it be a momentous occasion to welcome Flower back as a Penguin?
Jason Mackey
2:26
He should be back whenever they retire his jersey.

Reaves finally got some minutes in the LV game and looked pretty good.  I don't understand why he has not been given more of an opportunity this season.   He has to be really discouraged and bummed he isn't still on a St Louis team that is having a great season.
Jason Mackey
2:27
Yes, I can kind of sense that from him. He was a much better fit there. Say what you want about hating having Reaves (and most of you do in this space), but he can be a useful player in certain systems. I'm not sure what the Penguins do is one of them.

Do you still think Maatta is still having a stellar season.  I see is a lot of turnovers in the defensive zone.
Jason Mackey
2:27
He's tapered off, but I still think he's having his best season as a pro. These haven't been his best games, though. I think that's fair.
Bill

Any updates on injuries?  Did Kuhn or Rowney practice today?

Hi Jason just heard rumor Blueger will be the call up from WBS he's been great here I hope you get to interview him and have a story
Jason Mackey
2:28
I saw that, too. Good for him. Good kid. Will be interesting to see if he debuts Friday. I think he's earned it.

Nobody WINS going to see a Smashmouth concert...
Jason Mackey

Truer words have never been spoken.
Paul

What are your thoughts on David Desharnais as a fit for 4th line center? Good FO%, decent speed and hands. Smallish but could be cheaper to acquire than others.
Jason Mackey
2:29
Yeah, I agree, Paul. I think that might be a reasonable add. Everything checks out, like you mentioned. I do think they would rather have Cullen, but if he's not available or they can't work something else out, DD is not a bad option to address fourth-line depth.

Fleury’s return was quite the spectacle... outside of the playoffs, the closest comparison I can think of was Mario’s return from retirement.  Were you at the game Jason and does that seem like a fair comparison?  keep up the good work, thnx
Jason Mackey
2:30
I was not at that game, Benny. But I did get my driver's license that day. So I think it's fair to say that was a huge, huge day all-around for the city of Pittsburgh.

If Sullivan wins a third Stanley Cup in a row *knock on wood*, does that put him in the conversation for one of the “best coaches of all time”
Jason Mackey
2:30
It should. And we'll still get people here who think he's an idiot.
Benny D
2:30
the NHL is lousy at marketing their product... I find it unfathomable that Fleury’s return was not the nationally televised game; not to mention none of the Pens vs. Oilers games have been nationally televised since Connor McDavid came into the league.  What gives?
Jason Mackey
2:31
You and me both. Totally agree. Said as much on Calgary radio. THAT is the kind of stuff you need to hook casual fans. Plus McDavid vs. Crosby, Matthews vs. Laine, etc. Show the best your product has to offer. Instead we're stuck with Buffalo vs. Detroit or some other barf-worthy game.

Worst smelling Penguin?
Jason Mackey
2:32
It's team policy: Don't smell the players.

Is it hard to type with burger juice and fixings hitting your keyboard?
Jason Mackey
2:32
It is not. I finished my burger. Very good.
GUEST

Did you cry watching the Flower's emotional return Tuesday night?
Jason Mackey
2:32
I did not. But I was happy for the guy. Try to remain objective. It's hard when it's one of the nicest human beings and fun-loving people any of us has ever met.
Bill
2:32
Teddy Blueger reportedly coming up... he could suprise some people and make a case for full time job... thoughts?
Jason Mackey
2:33
I don't think he's a surprise. Gotta see what you have, right? I think he's earned it. Will he stick? Who knows. It could. Not likely, but he could.
yahooo!
2:33
You should head over to NOLA after the game and catch some Mardi Gras parades.  You are too close to miss that action
Jason Mackey
2:33
No thanks. Early flight to St. Louis for practice on Saturday.

Was your Cullen guess in the 20 article based on anything more than just your opinion?
