I'm not into that sort of stuff, and I have no clue. I wouldn't think so.

The Penguins have recently been rumoured with Domi (Elliotte Friedman). Who do you see them giving up in order to acquire him? Do you see this as a smart move?
Jason Mackey
2:13
They've been rumored as having interest. I think a lot of teams have interest. They'd have to give up a lot, and I don't think the Penguins have it to give, to be honest.

The message boards are going wild saying that the recent Canada-USA tariff issues are going to lead to an NHL work stoppage next season. You've said repeatedly in these chats that Trump is the candidate you supported, but what if his reckless international policy leads to an NHL shutdown hurting your livlihood?  What say you then?
Jason Mackey
2:14
I never said anything even close. I would never talk politics, especially my own, in a public setting like this. Nice try, though.

What was the NHL MOMENT OF THE YEAR this season in your opinion?   Any classic moment stick out?  not just from the pens
Jason Mackey
2:14
It's probably going to happen tonight: The Capitals winning the Stanley Cup in their history. Second would be everything Vegas has done.
THe Dead from 78

The 1978 Dead album Shakedown Street featured more involvement in the recording studio by M. Hart. I know you reject the studio Dead stuff, but do you think the Hart influence was a good thing or a bad thing?      Also, how many stars do you give that album (out of 10)
Jason Mackey
2:15
Maybe a 6 or 7? Just not a big album guy, but I do love Mickey. He's awesome. Quirky. Love the different approach he brings to the rhythm section.

Whats your definition of a modern day NHL dynasty? You heard members of the media (even ones outside Pittsburgh) refer the Penguins as a dynasty by winning 3 times and going back to back since 09. But you also had people say you have to win 3 in a row
Jason Mackey
2:15
I think to have a dynasty you have to win three in a row or maybe three in four years. That's in any sport. If the Penguins win next year, I'd consider it. But until then, it's not.

Has this Stanly Cup playoffs been getting good ratings in the usa?
Jason Mackey
2:16
Yeah, it's been doing well. The best in the past handful of years, I believe.

Not sure if it will come up in this chat, but I'm wondering if you've given Train another shot. You mentioned you would.
Jason Mackey
2:16
I rode a train in D.C. I mentioned that. Actually took one here, today, to get into the office.

What grade would you give HCMS for the 2017-2018 season in regards to line-ups and coaching decisions?
Jason Mackey
2:17
I'd go with a B. Still overcame a lot. He overcame some inconsistent performances (Letang), subpar seasons (Murray) and injuries (Brassard) while weirdly over-committing to Simon and clashing with Cole, which made Cole seem at least somewhat expendable.

My question got cut off - sorry. I was gonna ask if you'd listened to Train, but specifically their song "Play That Song."   THey do a brilliant 21st Century reimagining of Hoagie Carmichael's Heart and Soul and I think you might dig the guitar work. Anyway, have a good vacation!!!!
Jason Mackey
2:18
Thanks. I certainly will. A whole week to listen to Train!

If you could predict one offseason move that will ROCK THE NHL...what would it be?    Could Ovechkin leave the Caps?
Jason Mackey
2:18
After winning the first Stanley Cup of his career and their existence? Doubtful.
Guest

Jason, just dropping in to wish you a nice break from the Pens and I hope you get some R&R. You are a great reporter!
Jason Mackey
2:18
Thank you for that. Very kind of you.
Guest

I couldn't get the article you wrote on the Penguins and the Blue Line to open on my computer. I can get other articles to open though. Can you copy and paste the text in this chat? Thanks!
Jason Mackey
2:19
Try refreshing. That's too much to include in a chat forum.
Guest

Will the Pens coaching staff be the same next season?
Jason Mackey
2:19
Yeah, I'm not anticipating any changes.
Guest

Are you going to the NHL DRAFT in person? Where is it?
Jason Mackey
2:19
I am. It's in Dallas.

Who has the best uniforms in the NHL?
Jason Mackey
2:20
The Penguins. Once they incorporate the diagonal PITTSBURGH throwback jerseys. The "Gin and Juice" video ones.
Guest

What is wrong with the RedWings and what needs to be done to fix it? Thank you.
Jason Mackey
2:20
They're not very good right now. I think getting better should be a priority.

Did Basil McRae have a good nhl career?     Possible Hall of Famer even?
Jason Mackey
2:21
I think that's a little bit much.
Mrs Sprong.
2:21
Is my son really going to play for the Pens this year? And whom do u see him playing with on a line?  The top?
Jason Mackey
2:21
Yes, Mrs. Sprong. I think he will be in Pittsburgh. My prediction would be for him to start with Sid and Guentzel on the top line.

Hi Jason,  Is there any talk of moving the trade deadline back a few weeks?  Seems often its not enough time for the new players to adjust.
Jason Mackey
2:22
No. It'll be around the same time. Agree with you that it would make sense for it to come earlier, but I don't think there's any desire there on the NHL's best to change it.
Connor
2:22
HCMS seems to be very straightforward and serious when it comes to the Penguins team.  Do you think Connor Sheary every refers to HCMS as Uncle Mike as they are related due to Sheary marrying Sullivan's niece?  Do players try and joke with HCMS?
