Barn Burner: Boomer & Pinder with Rhett Warrener - THIS IS OVER… THE PENGUINS ARE COOKED 💀 | BB Clips

Episode Date: April 21, 2026

Boomer, Pinder and Rhett react to Producer Jack’s Penguins falling into a 2-0 series hole against the Flyers, and it hasn’t been pretty. The guys break down how Pittsburgh has struggled to generate anything offensively, with Sidney Crosby still off the scoresheet and the team getting outpaced by a fast, young Flyers group. They dive into Philadelphia’s strong start, including a shutout performance from Dan Vladar, and what this all means for the Penguins heading into a must-win situation—so how do they respond from here?Youtube Link: https://youtu.be/0Vfole2V3Cw#nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #stanleycupfinal #pittsburghpenguins CHECK OUT OUR STUFF ⬇️BARN BURNER MERCHhttps://nationgear.ca/collections/shirts/FlamesnationBARN BURNER SHORTS https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj_bcGtvvo-cW2DHEDZ6dEO5ePDmlhZc9&si=jo8iNGxT4ImhS2Y8📲 Follow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fnbarnburner/X (Twitter): https://x.com/barnburnerfn?lang=en🎧 Listen on:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/barn-burner-boomer-pinder-with-rhett-warrener/id1648562889Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Mc6Qd5U22R2zbMlQ7RxIiProducer: Jack Haverstock Hosted on Acast.

Let's talk about these penguins and flyers for a little bit. I know we kind of... Let's go to the heart and soul of the penguins lineup. Let him go. Break it down for us, Jim. He's already moved on. No one has... I know, but this is what your job is?

Listen, here's the thing. We sat here and we prayed to the hockey gods for this. Please give us penguins flyers. This would be so great. We wanted this so bad. It would be cross me. And it's been dog shirt.

I don't think so at all. Not if you picked the fly. Why were we so wrong on the flyers? Was it had to have something to do with us not watching them the last two months when they suddenly got better? It might have. Well, but it's less about the, oh,

so the flyers are okay. What's the penguins? The penguins are the reason that this series has been no bloody good. Flyers have held up their end of the bargain. Jack, what the age? I don't have the answers. Five shots, game one,

five shots, 10 through two periods last two like it's two shots like I said they literally have just been doing cardio they have not generated anything of note there there is just nothing you had said they were an over machine they had been an over machine

three goals four goals five just scoring pinball machine they can't get in the zone and generate offense I don't know this is entirely on Phillies defendant it is they've given them nothing that's great but the job of Sidney Crosse be of Gennie Malkin, Kindle,

all the other, Ricky Racks. That's their job, right? It's, it's, sure, yes, Philly's been great, but the question becomes, what's Pittsburgh doing about it? Or should we just turn the page? I've turned the page. No, we don't even know how to read

or she'll turn a page. Just quit, kids. Okay. What do they do? How do they attack this different? Well, you got to score on your, Power plays. The power play is an awful. They can't even enter the zone on the power.

Well, that's... I'd work on that. That's a good start. See, room for improvement. You scored a bar play. You're right in it. Right? I mean, the one thing I was worried about in the series was Skinner,

and he's actually been somewhat decent. Well, that won't continue. That's the scary part. I'd probably go where she loves next game. Just for something different, to be honest. Just to create some... Skinner would be like, what the hell is? Just to create some goals.

tentant controversy. Why am I getting pulled? It's, it would be hard to figure out because Philly has been, yeah. Porter Martone. Again. Again, he is 19. He was the sixth overall pick.

This is one of those guys when you're watching the flyers. And you're thinking, damn, the flames. It'll be nice to pick first or second tough. Yeah, it would be. Josh, good chance. You have four, five, six. Yeah, it could be there. Porter Martone. The year ago.

Sixth overall pick, 2025. First teenager in NHL history to score the game winner in each of his first two career playoff games. Jeez. Take one of those. Take one of those. What a stud. Nothing wrong with that. Mr. Motone.

Only one of the teenager in NHL history has scored a game winner, let alone in the first two, but just a game winner. That was Joe Thornton, a great hockey player. Is that back in 99? 99. Game six of the conference quarter final, game one of the first. conference semifinal. A nine and nine. Back in nine and that.

They beat them up the Mexican series. I score too. Really? So I do. We were down by once. Yeah, for a good time to score on. There are some pundits online who are saying,

this is, you know, this is great, the 82 games and all that sort of things. Well, Tang and Carlson and Crosby and Malkin and man, you got these guys.

They're all on the other side of 30. I'm well into their 30s. When you get to the playoffs where it's about speed and intensity and vim and vigor, piss and vinegar, P&V, give me the early to mid-20s, give me the guys in their 20s over the guys in their mid to late 30s. Is there any part of that?

Well, I've been saying it too. So, yeah, I think there is now. Lots of younger teams getting their shit handed than by older teams right now, but I could see why people are sour about how this penguin sees. season is going. I'm not sure. Like, I don't think Anaheim's youth is carrying them

against the Oilers. I don't think Ottawa's youth is doing it against a grizzled Carolina team. It seems like a lazy punditry Dean is what it seems like. Well, anyone can turn on a camera and run their app. I guess so. There's a problem is that the penguins were supposed to be awful this year.

And so you heap all this praise on the entire organization. Like, look what they found. All these guys off the scrap heat. These guys are back. Carlson return year. Kindle's plan. unbelievable. And now people are so excited about how good this team is. They forget that they thought they were going to be a bottom five team back in the fall.

And that this still is a really successful season, even if they lose. They had no business making the playoffs, according to almost everything in the fall. Nobody said this team was going to the playoffs. Do you have it in you to do a whiteboard today? Dean, I'm here for you. I'm a, yeah. I'm a goddamn professional. I'd love it. I'd love it if we could go to the whiteboard.

Jack knows which one this is going to be. It might be painful to watch. Sorry, Jack. To watch again. This is a former flame will be the beneficiary of this play. It is, uh, I showed this to, Guarded Hathaway. Garnie.

Showed this to the boys at home. Look at the relentless pursuit here. There's Owen Tippett. One on three. You want back up? Yep. Just a touch. A dancer.

So a little more. More more. More more. Joe. Oh, boy, I know it's your penguins and you don't want to watch. It's hard to watch.

I've been trying to tell all the kids are now playing contact hockey, right? Oh. So my message to the children is take the man off the puck, not the puck off the man. Foof. Huh?

Nice. Pause for a shuff and think that's true. Can you say that one more time? Take the man off the puck, not the puck off the man. Yes. That makes sense to you? Yep. Huh?

So here's a great example of a situation where if you just play the man, plays over. Let her go, Jack. Kind of didn't. Oh, don't play the man. Stop. So the other thing, because I got three idiots defensemen in my house. Poor skin dog, look at this.

So what I tell them is, The goalie can't stop it if it goes past through the crease for a backdoor tap-in. What the goalie can stop is the shooter. And if he doesn't, he's an idiot. Yeah. Now, this is an 18-year-old forward stuck playing defense because Carlson and whoever Latang have decided that they're useless. Go ahead. Oh, can't believe skin didn't get there.

That's about as piss poor defensive coverage If you could get power play I was going to say The start of the clip is what you see The top left corner Pit power play Like that's Hall of Famer Chris LaTang right there Getting Zip

He's done He is done He is done He's done Carl signed the resurgia You're not Latang It's so soft Who is the guy

The highest guy on the wall Is that Samantha? Vanta? Where are you going? He's like it's a power play guy. He's busted. I'll let you. We gotta have the pop.

Chum? Tanger! Tangs! Tangs! Now they run into each other, fall down. Oh. So, La Tang,

they've been playing them with Gerard. It is not a fit. Like two offense first guys. That's not. They miss Kulak a ton. The total. Yes, they do.

Well, why? So does it. That trade actually screwed them, I think. Because the tang has been. He was okay then, and then with Kulak. You need a stabilizing defender.

I don't disagree. I never understood why they got Carlson because they had Latang, but maybe Latang's first shit. Carlson had a resurgence, but why you get Gerard, who's another exactly same type of player. As I watch this, I think, oh, hang on, just go back to him, buddy, sorry.

It's like, what's going through Tippett's head? Right? So we're killing a penalty. We're almost through two and a half left here. Kill this off. We're going to kill this off and see what we can do. he's okay he's playing either way i just gonna get on my horse here and okay i'm gonna try and just i'm just gonna rag it oh all right was he wide up okay fair enough oh my god are you right there oh my god

how did you get so open like i was just trying to kill off the end of the power yeah i always i went i was gonna freeze it against the wall i tried to make a play and it actually worked and then i kind of fell down to one knee and then i got up and started just stop it right there How is he all alone on a forecheck on a penalty? Like, skin dog got to move that. No, skin, this is fine.

Tippett should. Where is everyone? How are they, how is Tippett racing in there all alone when he's killing a penalty? What is Pittsburgh doing? How is it no one back? Let her run. Like that's Kindle or who's 18?

Novak. No, that's not a defenseman. Chris LaTang You're going to the hall, son But they won't show that highlight on your reel Is Novak a defenseman? No No

Maybe he was playing in point I don't know who's there Yeah, I think LaTang is the only demon When Tippett comes through that whole thing He just tries to knock it back down He kind of falls down steps up I can't believe I got around that guy That was Chris La Teng

You guys could believe that Crazy Looked out we're going to take a shot here Holy shit dude Are you wallet open in front of the net? Light open? and Skinner's like, oh my God, are you wide open? I feel bad for Kindle.

Here's the other thing. Well, here's the other thing. My observation is, even with all that, if you just take away the pass, that's not going into that. I mean, maybe Skinner sieves one and it goes, but right? Like, Tippett could do all that work. If you don't, if I'm back there, I don't care that Tippett shoots it, and I'm different than.

The expected old. and the backdoor tap in is like 80% and the shot might be 20. Right? Like. And that's what happens when you're not a D-Man back there. You get beat to the most dangerous spot.

Jack, I'm with you. Shut the, you're not good at opening books, but this book is closed. Really? Burns the jerseys. Oh, dear. I just,

it doesn't look like they have any answers. So what do they do? Like, I guess we'll have lots of time for the postmortems. They got to get browsers back in the lineup. Yeah, that's, the difference. It does feel like all the same

conversations that were had leading into the season where it's like they're in big trouble. They're too fucking all. They got a trick. What are they going to do? They're all back now. It's looking like that's the same in. The good news is that they actually added assets this year that didn't trade a bunch of futures to, you know,

their picks can be pretty good. They mine Kindle in what, 10 hole last year, 11? I don't remember what it was. Yeah. And I guess you have to have the awkward chat with Malcolm. We'll get there. I mean, the series isn't over.

It looks ugly, but it's not. There'll be lots of time for post-mortems on where they're at. They also, a bunch of UFA's. I feel like the bets for Pittsburgh look frustrated. 100%. I think the whole team is, yeah. I don't think it's like their last call, right? Crosby has not looked good at all.

Like, is there a guarantee that that group ever gets to go back together? Latang, Malkin, and Crosby? No, absolutely not. It looks right now like they shouldn't. Yeah, if you're dubous, you're going, well, I can't roll this. Yeah, and I don't know where the Lattang's conscience.

Yeah, like, I don't know how much Malkin's up. He wants to play for one team on Earth. It's the Penguins. But where's Latang at? Obviously, Sid's going to stay. Carlson had a great year. It's two games in, and they've not looked good at all.

It's overrun. I don't think they're going to win the series, but there's a chance to kind of have some salvaging of pride and but not great Jack. Now's not the time to do the post no. The uh,

La Tang two more years at 6.1. Carlson enters his last year. He makes 10 even. Because there's some retention else. I was going to say, yeah. Leightang might just hang it up. And he should.

He leaves 12.2 on the table on the table. You don't hang it up, but you get injured. Come on, you guys. Don't be idiots. Jack. We know how this works. That's what Jack meant. He's a silly goose.

He's got a bad ankle, don't you know? Yeah. Looked like it on that play when you fell out. Now he does, anyway. Barely turk. Just barely blessed night. Poor guy.
