Segment 2 - Pierre McGuire 3.20.15

Another nice cold rejoin, way things went for the Blues, Pierre McGuire of NBC Sports joins the show, Winnipeg one of the toughest places to play at the moment due to the Jets' size, talent bucket full around the league meaning no easy matchup for the Blues, really would avoid playing in Winnipeg, praise for the Blues as best team in the league (at least one of the best) from Jets coach Paul Maurice, those Blackhawks on the rise learning to play well without Patrick Kane, only concern for Blues at this time would be injuries occuring, love what Ken Hitchcock has done with the four lines, the 'STL' line really as good as any other line in the league, understanding the need to rest player such as David Backes or Alexander Steen once standing becomes more solidified, biggest thing for Vladimir Tarasenko is the quick release that he makes comparison to Alex Ovechkin, can see Tarasenko really having fun with his line, Brian Elliott simply has to prove that he's the top guy once the postseason begins, thought that All-Star weekend was quite beneficial for Elliott, lot of people around the league respect the work of Doug Armstrong, can only evaluate the results in the postseason, adding a player like Robert Bortuzzo certainly changes the dynamic of the back line, need to have heavy presence like Bortuzzo when facing heavy teams like the Hawks or Kings, significant changes in Ken Hitchcock from his earlier days when he was a fiery personality, things change for a coach after being fired a few times, most angry coach would be John Tortorella, enjoying pancakes, getting the short stack, other toppings besides syrup, bring your own syrup to a restaurant, like bringing your own wine to a restaurant, some places have a house sommelier, Doug does not like 'sommelier', phone call earns suspension, hoping to hear from Mr or Mrs Smith, staying tight, staing rewarding, Greenskeeper calls, that take was worth a ring of the hot take bell, Jimmy 'the bull' called during the McGuire interview, knife fest happening at Bertarelli Cutlery, Tim enjoying tennis a lot now, Paul from the wealthy part of West County calls, did not enjoy being called out, debate over tennis, ranking system, another suspension handed out, do not understand the rankings, probably should start playing against women, pincer free area at Creve Couer racquet club, giving points to the sponsor, always thinking about sex, Doug is a professional who does not think about sex, grown men sometimes argue about rules, Tim got private Facebook message from guy who wants to get together & need to find pincer only club, hooks encouraged.
