In this week’s “Madden Monday,” Mark Madden is playing hurt.
Why should he be different than anyone else in the Pittsburgh sports scene?
Mark is really sick. But he joins us anyway for this week’s podcast. Kinda like the Penguins, right? Everyone is injured. But they are managing to win. The Pens just went 3-for-3 on their western conference road swing through Las Vegas, Colorado and Arizona.
Mark and I analyze how they managed to pull that off despite their rash of injuries.
Tristan Jarry is one big reason why. Brandon Tanev is another. On Sunday, so was the power play. We talk about all those angles and more.
Across the rest of the NHL, we discuss Sidney Crosby’s rehab, Ray Shero’s firing and Rob Scuderi’s promotion.
On the football front, the NFL playoffs were equal parts surprising and entertaining. That’s particularly true in the AFC as we saw the demise of the Baltimore Ravens and that massive comeback by the Kansas City Chiefs.
Meanwhile, Bill Cowher is getting into the Hall of Fame. Should he be inducted, or not?
Mark and I have the same opinion of JuJu Smith-Schusterbut we disagree when it comes to “Hard Knocks” and James Conner.
Last but not least, Mark and I reflect on the rock legacy of Neil Peart of Rush.
