EVERY OTHERDAY.YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT SEVENDAYS LIKE FOOTBALL.IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU HAVE TOWAIT UNTIL OCTOBER TO PLAY ONESERIES LIKE BASEBALL.IT IS FOUR SERIES, EVERY OTHERDAY, IT IS HIGHS AND

THE FINALS AGAINSTFRANKLY WHAT WAS THE BEST STORYIN HOCKEY PRIOR -- THEPREDATORS, THEY SWEEP THECHICAGO BLACKHAWKS AND THAT PUTSTHEM ON THE MAP.ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY GET TO THEFINAL AND IT IS NOT JUST THEPREDATORS, IT IS THE CITY OFNASHVILLE, EVERY COUNTRY SINGERIN THE WORLD.SHANNON: I THOUGHT CARRIEUNDERWOOD WAS GOING TO PUT ICESKATES ON A TAKE ON THE TEAM.THAT IS A GREAT FAN BASE.I GIVE THAT CITY SO MUCH CREDITFOR RALLYING AROUND THEIR TEAMIN SUPPORT OF HOCKEY AND FALLINGIN LOVE WITH THE NEW RIVALRYBETWEEN THE PITTSBURGH PENGUINSAND THE NASHVILLE PREDATORS.CATFISH OR-ISH -- WHICH IS SUPERGROSS BY THE WAY, NASHVILLE,THIS ENDED THE WAY IT ENDED ANDNOW WE ARE CELEBRATING WITH APARADE IN THE CITY OFPITTSBURGH.ANDREW: THE CATFISH THING WAS ALITTLE GROSS, BUT ALSO HAVE --ALSO FUN.TO HAVE THESE

AND GETTY MELTON -- EVGENIMALKIN.ANY OTHER TEAM WOULD BE THRILLEDTO HAVE ONE OF THESE PLAYERS,PITTSBURGH PENGUINS HAVE TWO.ANDREW: IT IS SOME OF THE BESTPLAYERS IN THE WORLD, NOT JUSTTHE LEAGUE.YOU HAVE SIDNEY CROSBY ANDEVGENY MALKIN.YOU WOULD THINK IT WOULD BEDIFFICULT TO HAVE THE KIND OFSUCCESS YOU DO BECAUSE SOMETIMESSTAR BASED TEAMS DO NOT SUCCEED.LET'S GET BACK OUT TO GUY JUNKER.LET'S SEE WHO GUY HAS FOR US.>> IT'S CRAZY, EVERY TIME.YOU DON'T GET USED TO IT.WE HAVE THE BEST FAN BASE IN THENHL.I AM NOT SURPRISED, BUT IT ISALWAYS FUN.IT'S PART OF THE GAME.LIKE ALWAYS, WHEN SOMETHING GOESWRONG YOU HAVE SOMEBODY THATWILL STEP UP AND THE GUYS DID ANUNBELIEVABLE JOB.IT WAS FUN TO BE PART OF IT ANDTHEY ALWAYS MADE ME FEEL I WASPART OF IT.>> I KNOW YOU WOULD RATHER HAVEBEEN PLAYING, BUT YOU HAVE GOTTO BE PROUD ESPECIALLY THE WAYTHE DEFENSE PERFORMED WHILE YOUWERE INJURED.>> THEY PLAYED GREAT.EVERYBODY BOUGHT IN AND KNEWTHEIR ROLE.THEY WERE PLAYING REALLY WELLAND EVERYBODY WAS PLAYING 21MINUTES, SO THEY HAD AIT WAS A BIG CHUNK OF ICE TIMEAND WE PLAYED REALLY WELL.>> [INAUDIBLE]>> I THINK WE WERE ALWAYSLOOKING FORWARD.THAT'S THE WAY TO APPROACH IT.I DON'T KNOW YET.A LOT OF DRINKING.[LAUGHTER]>> HE HAD THAT NEXT SURGERY ANDA LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN'T THINK THEPENGUINS HAD ANY CHANCE OFWINNING THE STANLEY CUP WHEN ITWAS ANNOUNCED JUST WEEKS BEFORE,BUT THEY DID, HE'S BACK IN THEPICKUP TRUCK.CHRIS WILL BE ALONG SHORTLY ANDTHEN SIDNEY CROSBY WITH THESTANLEY CUP.HERE COMES CHRIS END OF THEEASTERN CONFERENCE TITLE.IT IS ONE A LOT OF TEAMS WON'TTOUCH OR PICKUP OUT OFSUPERSTITION.THE PENGUINS DID THAT IN 2008,SO IN 2009, THEY SAID THE HECKWITH IT.HE'S BEEN TAKING IT UP WHEN THEYWANTED THREE STRAIGHT CUPS EVERSINCE.THERE'S GENOME ALL CAN AND HISFAMILY.THEY'VE BECOME CULT HEROES.WHEN THEY ARE SHOWN ON THESCREEN AT THE ARENA, THE PLACEGOES CRAZY.REALLY GROWN TO LOVE AMERICA,HOCKEY, AND PITTSBURGH.WE HAVE A PRETTY BIG GAFFEBEFORE THE NEXT CAR BECAUSETHAT'S

HOW MUCH EXCITEMENT,ENERGY THEY PUMP INTO THE TEAM.HE HAD A BABY THIS TIME LASTYEAR, SO HE HAS BEEN CHANGINGDIAPERS AND PRACTICES.ONE YEAR LATER, HE'S GETTING THEVOICE BACK UP AGAIN.ANDREW: A LOT OF PEOPLE LOVETHAT WHEN HE SCORES, HE BANGSINTO THE LORDS.THEY ARE AN EMOTIONAL HOCKEYTEAM AND THAT EMOTION IS ONETHAT THE FANS LOVE.THEY ARE GOING TO SHOW THEIREMOTION.THAT IS WHAT MAKES THEM 18 INTERMS OF AGE GROUPS ANDDEMOGRAPHICS.I DON'T SPEAK HIS LANGUAGE, BUTHE LIKES TO HAVE A BEER AND HAVEA GOOD TIME.SHANNON: IF THE CUP MAKES ITSWAY BACK TO RUSSIA, IF ANGETTING MILK THERE AGAIN, HEKNOWS THE PEOPLE IN THE TOWNWHERE HE GREW UP, HIS JUNIORTEAM WAS FROM THERE AND KNOWINGHOW MUCH THEY APPRECIATE HIM,IT'S SIMILAR TO WHEN CROSBY GOESBACK TO CANADA AND GIVES BACK TOTHAT COMMUNITY THERE AND HOWMUCH THESE INDIVIDUALS AREBELOVED.ANDREW: I'VE SPENT SOME TIME ATTHEIR AND THAT A TOWN -- YOUDRIVE INTO THE TOWN AND HISPARENTS LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSEWHERE HE GREW UP IN.IT'S A VERY UNDERSTATED PLACE.THERE ARE MAYBE ONE OR TWOPICTURES OF SYDNEY.THIS IS A GUY WHO COULD BE KEVINGRANT OR LEBRON JAMES, HE COULDBE ONE OF THE BIGGEST NAMES INSPORTS.SHANNON: THEY ARE GETTING CLOSETO THE THING THEY CAME HERE FORA NET IS TO SET THEIR EYES ONTHE STANLEY CUP AS IF COMES TOTHE CITY OF PITTSBURGH.WE SAID EARLIER IN THE DAY THATWHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PENGUINSLOGO, JUST GET THE LOGO IN YOURHEAD.YOU SEE A TRIANGLE IN THAT LOGO,WE KNOW WHAT THAT IS ALL ABOUT.IT'S THE THREE RIVERS COMINGTOGETHER, THE CONFLUENCE, ANDTHAT IS WHERE THIS CUP WILL ENDUP.I THINK IT IS SO FITTING THAT ITIS HERE.ANDREW: THE PENGUINS TOOK 50YEARS TO BUILD THIS BRAND.MEMBER IN 79, THEY WORE BLUE.THEY CHANGED THEIR COLORS TOLACK AND GOLD, BUT THE BRUINSWERE NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT.THEIR SUCCESS HAS BEEN PART OFTHE CITY.IT'S A 49 YEAR OVERNIGHT SUCCESSSTORY.SHANNON: IN THOSE YEARS SINCETHE 70'S, A YOUNG MAN NAMED MIKESULLIVAN WAS BORN IN THE CITY OFBOSTON AND I'M SURE IS A BIGBOSTON FAN AND HERE HE IS IN ITSBIRTH.YOU CAN HEAR IN HIS BOSTONACCENT AND HE'S GELLING PRE-WELLWITH THE TEAM.ANDREW: HE'S THE FIRST TO WIN TOSTANLEY CUP'S AT ALL.HE'S THE ONLY OTHER COACH TO DOTHAT.I'M NOT SAYING HE'S GOING TO THEHALL OF FAME, BUT HE IS A PRETTYGOOD START.SHANNON: IT IS THOSECONVERSATIONS, THE COACHMATTERS.ANDREW: WE GO THROUGH A LOT OFCOACHES HERE AND PEOPLE THINKTHE COACH DOESN'T MATTER.THEY WANT ANOTHER CUP, BUT THECOACH DOES MATTER.THE TEAM THAT IS SO YOUNG, 18THAT NEEDS TO BE PICKED UP ATTIMES.SO A COACH DOES MATTER IN THENATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE AND MIKESULLIVAN -- MIKE SULLIVAN HASPROVEN IT.SHANNON: IT'S THE GENERALMANAGER AND OWNERSHIP TEAMBUILDING THESE PLAYERS ANDMAKING DECISIONS THAT HAVE AHUGE IMPACT.ANDREW: AND THEY HAVE NOT MADE ABAD DECISION.THE JAMES MEAL DEAL MIGHT NOTHAVE MADE IT -- MIGHT NOT HAVEBEEN A GOOD DECISION BUT EVERYDECISION HAS PAID OFF.EVENTUALLY, EVERYONE --EVERYTHING IS GOING THE RIGHTWAY.THE ODDS ON FAVORITE, ALL OFTHOSE THINGS TOGETHER, THINGSARE PRETTY GOOD.SHANNON: IT IS A BEAUTIFULROSTER.ANDREW: SOME OF THESE GUYS, -- THESE GUYS ARE CONTINUING --LIVE COVERAGE FROM DOWNTOWNPITTSBURGH.THE PLAYERS MIGHT HAVE BEEN HEREEARLIER, BUT THEY ARE SIGNINGAUTOGRAPHS AND TALKING TO FANSALONG THE PARADE ROUTE.THEY CAN TAKE THEIR TIME.NOBODY HERE MIND AT ALL.SHANNON: THEY CAN TAKE THEIRTIME.NOBODY MINDS AT ALL.WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE GENERALMANAGER AND THE DIFFICULTDECISIONS THAT NEED TO BE MADEIN THE COMING MONTHS, WE ARELOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT SEASON.TODAY IS NOT ABOUT THAT.TODAY IS NOT ABOUT THINKINGABOUT TRADES AND MARC-ANDREFLEURY AND HIS ROLE, IT'S ACELEBRATION.SOME OF THEM VERY YOUNG, SOME OFTHEM MUCH MORE EXPERIENCED.EVERY SHOT THEY MADE, EVERYTHINGTHEY DID THIS SEASON, THIS ISWHAT IT COMES DOWN TO AND ITTIME TO CELEBRATE.THIS CITY IS SO READY TO PARTY.THEY ARE

LASTNIGHT AND I THINK THE STANLEYCUP MAY HAVE GIVEN HIM HIS MOJOBACK.ANDREW: HE GOES OUT LAST NIGHTAND HE HITS OFF THE TOP OF THEFENCE.KOCH WHO HAS BEEN STRUGGLING,THE PENGUINS PLAYERS ARE IN THECLUBHOUSE.MATT COHEN HAS TWO YOUNG BOYSAND ANDREW GOES COULD YOU RUB MYBACK FOR GOOD LUCK.WHAT THIS HE DO?TWO HOME RUNS?WE ARE HERE WHERE THE RALLY WILLCONCLUDE IN THE SPEECHES WILLSTART, HOPEFULLY OVER THE NEXTHALF HOUR OR SO.WE HAVE HAD THE DUCK BOATS ANDPICKUP TRUCKS WITH PLAYERSCOMING BY DROPPING OFF THEPLAYERS AND THE PLAYERS MAKINGTHEIR WAY DOWN THE BOULEVARD.THESE PLAYERS ALONG THE WAY --LET'S GIVE A BIG ROUND OFAPPLAUSE TO THE FAMILIES.BEING THE WIFE OR SON ORDAUGHTER OF A HOCKEY PLAYERCAN'T BE AN EASY LIFE SHANNON:.THERE ARE A TON OF GAMES AND INTHE PLAYOFFS, THEY ARE TRAVELING, WHEN YOU PLAY HOCKEY IN THECITY OF PITTSBURGH, YOUR SEASONIS VERY LONG.IT STARTS IN EARLY OCTOBER, HISREGULAR-SEASON GAMES, AND ITGOES UNTIL JUNE.YOU DON'T GET A LOT OF TIME OFF.ANDREW: THIS BEGAN WITH ACELEBRATION, -- IT STARTED OFFWITH A CELEBRATION.THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OFRESILIENT TEAMS.I CANNOT SAY THE PENGUINS ARETHE MOST RESILIENT TEAMS, BUTTHEY HAVE FACED MULTIPLECHALLENGES ALONG THE WAY ANDTHEY HAVE OVERCOME THAT.WHEN CHRIS WENT DOWN, CONFERENCEFINALS, MAYBE -- SHE'S THE BESTDEFENSEMAN IN THE GAME ANDSOMEHOW THIS GUY WHOSE TIME WITHWITH EVENLY THROUGHOUT THEPOSTSEASON -- THINK ABOUT THATDISH -- THINK ABOUT THAT -- THEYWERE THE UNSUNG HEROES OF THISHOCKEY TEAM.SHANNON: THE COACHING HAS A LOTTO DO WITH THAT.HOW HUNGRY IS CHRIS TO GET BACKTO THE ICE RIGHT NOW?ANDREW: AFTER THE GAME, YOU SEEHIM WALKING THROUGH THE HALLWAYAND YOU CAN SEE HIS FRUSTRATION.HE WANTED TO BE OUT THERE.HE'S HAPPY AND EXCITED FOR THESEGUYS, BUT HE WANTS TO BE ON THEICE FOR THE FINAL SECONDS AS THECLOCK WINDS DOWN.HE IS GOING TO WORK HARD TO BE AKEY CONTRIBUTOR ON THIS TEAM.SHANNON: SIDNEY CROSBY AND THESAME THING, WHEN YOU GET ANINJURY, YOUR TEAM DOCTORS ARETELLING YOU THAT YOU CAN'T PLAY.THAT HAS TO BE PAINFUL FORSUMMARY LIKE HIM.ANDREW: DURING THE PLAYOFFS, HESUFFERED A CONCUSSION AND THESHORTEST TIME HE WAS OUT WAS SIXGAMES.%DIDN'T MISS A BEAT.SHANNON: THE JOURNEY THIS HOCKEYTEAM HAS MADE IN THE CITY OFPITTSBURGH, WE TALKED ABOUT 10YEARS AGO IN 2007 WHEN WE GOTWORD THE IGLOO WOULD BE NO MORE.THAT DEAL WAS DONE WITH THOSEELECTED OFFICIALS, MAKING SURETHE PENGUINS

--LET'S FACE IT, THAT WAS GOODLUCK OF THE DRAW.THAT ONE PAINTBALL BALL WENT TOPITTSBURGH AND I'M LIKE ARE YOUKIDDING ME.SIDNEY CROSBY WOULD HAVE BEENHUGE AT THE TIME AND THEN ITWENT TO THE PENGUINS FAVOR ANDALL OF A SUDDEN, HE'S HERE ATBEGINNING OF THIS RENAISSANCE.A LOT OF THINGS FELL INTO PLACE.SHANNON: YOU TALKED ABOUT HOWTHESE GUYS ARE PRACTICING DURINGTHE REGULAR SEASON NONSTOP COMEAND GIVING IT ALL.THERE'S ALL THAT BUT SOMETIMES,YOU GET A PING-PONG BALL TOBOUNCE YOUR WAY AND THAT'S PARTOF IT.ANDREW: THAT'S HOCKEY.A GOAL IS -- YOU GET AN OFFSIDECALL YOU DON'T EXPECT, HOCKEYFOR ALL THE WORK AND STRATEGY,IT SOMETIMES GOES WITH THEBALANCE OF THE BALL ANDEVERYTHING BOUNCED THE PENGUINSWAY THIS YEAR.SHANNON: A HALF A MILLION HOTAND SWEATY ITS BIRTH FANSEXPECTED TO CROWD IN ALL
