So, hello everybody, my name is Sergey, I work in the Operating System Continuous Integration team as a software engineer. In a nutshell, our team are helping subsystem teams to onboard packages integrating.  So, each tool is deployed in a different way. There was a problem. Some of them were deployed automatically, for example using GitLab CI. Some of them were deployed using Jenkins, and some of them were deployed manually. If you need to deploy something, and you are not an owner of the tool, so it's great if there are some documentation about it. It was really pain to upgrade or downgrade the tool, and it was really hard to say what exactly deployed on production. As you see here, like several tools and applications that we use for like in our team, and like most of all the people in the company use it. So, it was really difficult. And we needed this unified deployment process to know what exactly deployed on production and like deploy it in the same way to standardize things and etc. So, let's go for it. What do we want? We wanted to have like other code just deployed in production. And in case of any issues or new features, we want to be able to upgrade or downgrade our deployment. We want to deploy code to production, and we want to know what exactly deployed. So, it's worth to know like, for example, Git commensure of the source code, deployment configuration, and we should be able to roll out our application or tool any moment and create like the same deployment to another cluster, for example. As we update our tools maximum like once per week, usually it's like maybe once per month or once per several months. Deploy to production as fast as possible. It's not about the unified deployment process. The unified deployment process, it's about stability and creating like similar deployment. It's about debugging stuff and knowing what exactly deployed on the production. What tools we use for this? We use GitLab CI and Helm. GitLab CI, it is as you know, is a part of GitLab and you can use it out of the box. You don't need to install it or set up it. It's just in it. And it's very well documented. So, you can find any answer on probably any questions you have or issues you've got. And it's a really cool thing for newcomers. So, it's really easy for contribution. Compared, for example, with Jenkins, when you need to know like Groovy a bit, you need to know how it works. You need to know how to debug it. Like in our case, GitLab CI has the same functionalities as Jenkins, but as we keep things simple, so it's much better for newcomers to start from this and for everybody in our team because it's like just YAML files. Helm. We decided to use Helm. I just have to say like a few words what is Helm? So, Helm is a deployment tool for automation, creation and configuration, and deployment applications and tools. First of all, it is a package manager for YAM files. So, you can have a Helm chart package as well as you have any DevNF or, for example, YAM package version. With the Helm, you can have your deployment parameterized. Helm has a file with variables that could be set. Also, you can provide variables as a parameter in the command line, like, for example, this Ansible. Also, it has templates, tests, and those tests could be used, for example, for deployment. For example, if you can run Helm tests after the deployment to make sure that everything works as expected. Of course, if you, for example, use GitHub, you can use GitHub actions. Or if you, like, get used to Jenkins, you could use, for example, Jenkins instead of GitHub. And instead of Helm, you can use, I don't know, maybe Ansible or RGACD or Terraform, et cetera. So, it's our choice. And I will explain a bit more about why we chose it. So, continue with Helm. As you see here, we have, like, a simple output of Helm history. And it describes, like, how many times we deployed the application and when it was updated. Status of application, as you see, it's, like, the last revision is deployed on Friday, right? And here I will explain later we can, we have a chart version. As I said, that Helm creates a package and it has own version, like, for example, YAML file. And we can specify application version. And in description, we can see which image used for this and which configuration. So, and it's pretty easy to switch to any or roll out to any Helm revision you have. So, I will explain a bit in detail later about it. So, and we came up with the idea to have, like, to separate all the deployment process into three repositories. So, one repository have source code. The second one is deployment repository, is repository with Helm charts. And second and third one is repository with configuration. So, this repository is just, like, YAML file that takes parameters from code repository and deployment repository, and you can easily deploy the production. Let's take a look, like, inside each of repositories. So, source code repository, the idea is having docker image after you create a merge request. So, once a merge request is created, GitLab CI built an image, we just call it for it and sends it to the QA repository. A docker image has a tag equals to Git commensure. So, for example, for hello world application, we will have, like, we could have possibly this tag. So, and that's it. So, you create a merge request, you have image with specific tag. Here is an example where you can use, for example, QA repository for distribution tool that uses, like, different Git for each images. Deployment repository. It's similar to the source code repository. On a merge request, GitLab is built a Helm package and sends it to the Helm chart repository. Helm chart repository could be an FTP server, for example, where packages are located. And you need to remember that also each time deployment code is updated, Helm package version should be updated also. As you see in this example, it is like a normal FTP server and you have, like, each version of the Helm package here. So, Helm package, this here, it's just YAML files that will be deployed and then applied as, for example, Kubernetes or OpenShift objects. Deployment configuration repository. This is the last step in our chain. So, it has deployment config file and that contains information about the OpenShift and Helm configuration. So, let's take a look deeper. So, this, like, it's part of the file and it looks like this. So, here we have, like, OpenShift configuration. In other case, it could be, like, Kubernetes configuration or et cetera. And here we specify, like, image tag, we specify registry, can we get those image, we can specify, like, projects, namespace, et cetera. And we have Helm configuration. So, in this image, like, other code, like, source code is located, right? And for Helm configuration, we, like, can specify, like, chart name, config commit and chart version. And here, as I said before, we can specify, we can, like, pass values to the Helm through the file. So, for example, we have a production file, that Helm configuration production file, that we can specify, for example, Git repository where code is located, we can specify, I don't know, volumes, secrets, environment variables, et cetera. For example, if you want to deploy your application to test environment, to stage environment, and to production, you can have, like, three variants of files here. And you can, for example, specify one resources, like, to the for test environment, like, for example, Zap will use one gigabyte of RAM. And for the production environment, it could use, like, 10 gigabytes of RAM. So, it's nice to have several files for each configuration that you have. But also, you can use, like, deployment configuration file, like, also several files. But we use one file for configuration and several files for Helm files for deploying up to different, like, with different parameters. So, let's summarize. From the code source code repository, we get a docker image with specific tag. From the deployment repository, we have the Helm package with specific version. All of this, like, files could be specified, like, then it will pass to the config repository. Helm configuration is a file is about, like, configuration of Helm deployment. It could be, like, consist of environment variables, volumes, secrets, et cetera. And once we have, like, everything, we have image, we have Helm package, we have configuration for Helm package. We have, like, one file that, like, not all of the stuff there. And then we can, like, run a CI job, just deploy it to production or to any environment we have. So, as I said before, our deployment process is not about exactly, like, to deploy change, like, deploy changes fast, but it's about stability on the first place. So, if you want to deploy some changes, you should, like, make changes to the source code repository. Then you should, like, merge those changes and, like, get an image tag from it. Then you should go to the deployment repository with, like, and change deployment file with the new image tag, and then merge changes. So, like, from the first point of view, it's, like, a little bit over-engineering because you should, like, change code to times when you make some changes. But then, in a long-term perspective, you can just, you know, it's very easy to see what exactly was, what and when was exactly changed and what exactly is deployed to production. And if, in case of, like, any changes, you can easily, like, roll out or upgrade your deployment. And, like, for other needs, we just change, like, we divided these by layers, you know? Of course, it's possible to keep all of the stuff in one repository and you can, like, have, like, one repository and deploy for it. But if you have, like, a bunch of different applications and tools, it's pretty difficult, for example, to migrate from one cluster to another, like, having everything in one repository. It's very important to divide it by layers. And you can easily, like, for example, change, like, download one repository that consists of deployments, config, for all the tools. So, you can easily, like, deploy it and change it for all the applications. So, there was a point of it. And that's pretty much it. So, I will check for the questions. If we have some, looks like we don't. So, if you have any, please ask. Yes, you can write a chat, you can put it on the Q&A, or you can join with just whatever you like. Yeah. Also, I wanted to mention that, for example, maybe you, like, in your case, you shouldn't use, like, all of the tools or all of the applications that are here. For example, if you want to deploy, like, Jenkins, for example, you don't need code repository at all. You just could have, like, deployment repository and configuration repository for deployment. Yes, if you use some, like, applications, the third party, yeah. Or if you have, like, only the one application, you can, for example, create in Git, like, directory, and inside that directory, you can create subdirectories and keep it in one place, like, with one application. Like, for now, it's better to keep separate deployment, like, code repositories in one place, deployment repositories in one place, and, like, configuration in third place. So you can easily change for all of the tools that you have. For example, if you're going to migrate to another cluster, it's like, you can, it can be done in just, like, a few hours, all of the migration. And having it, like, in code repository, all of the deployment stuff and configuration stuff, it will take, like, much, much more time that, for example, in our case, when we separated it. Yeah, I have a question. I hope I didn't miss it. But so, how did you choose the tools you are going to be using? Why these specific ones? Yeah, so, so we had, like, several options here. And, like, as I said before, like, we use, like, GitLab CI, because it's like, it works just out of the box, and you don't need to tune it. You don't need to manage it. It just works. And, like, it's easy. It's easy for newcomers. And it's easy, like, because it's like documentation, a fit. And about Helm, we had, like, several choices. And we tried, like, different variants. For example, we tried Ansible for deployment. And, like, it counts, actually, that Helm is a little bit complicated. But in general, it's, like, very easy when you start using it. It's really easy to just adopt your files and YAML files to the deployment, to the Helm process. So, for example, if you use Ansible, it's much more, like, it's more difficult. It's more work for debugging, for, like, keeping it together. And what Helm is, it handles all of the resources you deploy. So, for example, if you specify, like, deployment config, like secrets, and, like, some other OpenShift object, or Kubernetes object, it, and you deploy it. And when you delete, for example, the application, it will delete everything that it created before for you.  When, when, then you check it, you should, like, delete it one by one. But using Helm and, like, create update resource with Helm, it manages all of this stuff.  Yeah, so it's really cool. And I also want to mention that all the, like, deployment processes are automated. Like, we don't tune it manually. You know, sometimes you want to deploy something and then go to the OpenShift and manually create some stuff there. Don't do this, because you will forget later in few months that you created it and it could influence in on other applications that you have, for example. So, only in automatic way. You changed, for example, one should change something in deployment config. You test it, you change it, and then you just deploy it in automatic way and it works fine. Okay, thank you. Okay, three minutes to go. It doesn't look like we are going to have more questions. So, it's up to you whether you want to hang out here or in the work adventure or whatever. I don't know if people, if somebody has something to ask, please ask. If not, we just can finish here. Yeah. Or maybe we can continue, like you said, in the other room. Maybe people don't want to ask here. Maybe they don't want to be recorded. Who knows. Okay, thank you very much for your speech. And I'll see you around then. Yeah, thank you. Have a nice day. You too. Bye-bye. Yeah, bye.


And that is that Europeans, European countries, country after country after country are locking down severe lock downs, lock downs reminiscent of the lock downs in the spring. Different countries are more or less severe. Germany is locking down for a month. France is locking down for at least a month. Italy has locked down portions of its economy, significant portions. And now the UK is locking down their economy for at least four weeks. So no bars, no restaurants and very little business activity other than what are called essential services. Of course, defined by the central planners in chief, those who I guess spend their time in 10 Downing Street and who decide what's essential and what's not essential. And it really is striking right now. It's striking that you have got across Europe, you've got these lock downs and it, you know, in America, the idea of lock downs, not lock downs, it's, it's, it's almost 100% the debate, the discussion is political. Democrats want one thing, Republicans want another, and it's all about what tribe you belong to. But if you look across the pond, if you look across the Atlantic to Europe, you know, Johnson is not a leftist. He is a the leader of the Conservative Party. Macron is, yeah, I sent a left, but really a centrist, actually quite good and admirable in his position about Islam and about free speech in the last couple of, in the last couple of weeks. So, actually my opinion of Macron has gone up dramatically. And yet for lock downs, Germany, Angela Merkel, usually pretty, pretty, pretty honest and, and, and straight shooting and pretty good in many issues, particularly economic ones. And she has instituted a lockdown in Germany. It really shows that the political class in the West, I'd say a couple of things. One, completely and utterly, completely and utterly blew it with regard to this crisis. I mean, this second wave of cases was completely predictable. Everybody knew what was going to happen. And yet no planning, no preparation, no building the infrastructure for testing, tracing and isolating, which we know from Asia works beautifully well when executed. But neither the United States, nor Europe, have been able to actually put it together in spite of having plenty of time, plenty of warning, plenty of knowledge. They can't do it. The incompetence of our political class is just unbelievable. It's just for this reason only, they should all be voted out of office. They utter and complete failure to deal with the COVID crisis, even if the solution to the COVID crisis is to get on television, sit down with the, with the people, American people, the British people and tell them that it's not that bad. And there are ways to deal with it that do not involve shutting down the world. There are ways to deal with it that do not involve eliminating liberty and freedom and giving power to government, unlimited power to government, unlimited power to government. To actually dictate where I can go, what I can do with my life, with every minute of my time. I mean, it is unbelievable and unprecedented that throughout the entire Western world, we have adopted the Chinese model of shutting down Wuhan rather than the Taiwanese model of the North Korean, the South Korean model, which relatively speaking left people free, but engaged in intense testing, tracing, isolating, Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, Vietnam has done a better rights-respecting job than most of the people, most of the countries in the West. So it's truly, truly shocking to see this and it doesn't seem political in the sense that at least in Europe, it's parties on the right and parties on the left. It's parties in the center and parties on the right of center, left of center.  That's not what happened in Europe, so it has to be broader than just politics. It's just incompetence, unthinking, panic, and a longing, I guess, to be China, to have the kind of power that the Chinese government has its own people. Of course, China, at least China, you know, did lockdowns but also did testing, and now China does testing instead of lockdowns. Yes, now China does testing instead of lockdowns, but it started out with lockdowns. Now it does testing, testing, testing, and it isolates those people who test positive, and if you do that, you're done.  There's not enough testing and tracing and isolating that you can do to stop this. You know, we're going to have to probably live through it, but this was not necessary. A lot of people are going to die unnecessarily, and these lockdowns don't help. The statistics show it. Sweden, that didn't lockdown, is not locking down now, has the same death rates as the UK, France, less than Italy, less than Spain. And in the second lockdown, I suspect in this winter rise, it looks like Sweden is doing fine. It looks like Sweden is actually going to do fine, far better than all these other countries. So it's truly stunning and sad. Now let me just say that in the UK, there is going to be a vote on Wednesday in the House of Parliament to approve the lockdown measures that the government is proposing. I encourage all those listeners in the UK and their friends and their compatriots and anybody you can get to in the UK. I encourage you to write to your representative. Remember, these politicians are your servants, your representatives. I encourage you to write to them and demand, demand that they not pass this legislation, that they not pass this legislation. So you have an opportunity here to impact, to have an impact. Tell them that if they pass this legislation, you will vote them out of office next time. Even if that means voting in labor just to punish them, to punish the conservatives for what they are doing. So write to your representative. If you live in the UK, stop this massive violation of rights, this massive violation of our freedoms, this massive violation of our liberty. Sweden is a model not far away from you. And while Sweden didn't do this perfectly, far from perfect, particularly as compared to, again, the Asian countries, Sweden is a far better model than what Boris Johnson is proposing right now out of panic. And again, in spite of having no plan to properly deal with, properly deal with this crisis. Andrew writes, Boris Johnson is more of evidence that freedom won't be established by quirky individuals with hazy pro-liberty inclinations. Principles are needed. Absolutely. Absolutely. And no, I'm not for the New Zealand model either, the Melbourne model. These are horrible models. These are the models that Europe is now implementing, and now it implemented them in the spring, it didn't help. They followed the same trajectory as Sweden. They had the same death rates as Sweden. They declined in the same way as Sweden. Oh, by the way, Belgium is also shutting down. So basically, Western Europe is shutting down with the exception of Sweden. I think the Netherlands is shutting down. It's just unbelievable. These are rich countries. These are countries that could have invested in a strategy of testing, tracing, isolating. These are countries that could have invested in a strategy that cocooned their elderly, that cocooned the people at risk. I just saw today a statistic that basically, if you're under 50, if you're under 50, your chances of dying from this are almost zero, negligible, not worth thinking about. Between 50 to 70, your chances of dying of this about double the chances of dying from the flu, 0.2%. High and probably related to health. If you're healthy in those age groups, you're probably still negligible, flu-like, or less. If you're 70 plus, the probability jumps to 5.4%. That's high. It's very high. And my guess is that it's driven primarily by people in the 80s who seem to be the most susceptible to this virus. So again, isolate them, isolate them. Penny asks, what if those in Asia had some antibodies that gave them better defenses from SARS? I mean, it's possible, and that might be one of the explanations for why it's less in Asia, but it's hard to believe in this sense. That is, in a globalized economy, in a globalized world in which we're traveling from country to country to country constantly, Asians are coming to Europe constantly, Europeans are going to Asia constantly. It's hard to believe that one part of the world has developed antibodies to certain viruses that did not spread across the world. Now, it's possible that these were short-lived viruses, they didn't expand widely. Hard to tell. Scientists will be studying this in the future, and maybe they will discover that that is the cause. I've heard other ideas that Asian countries are more focused. Some of them have higher rates of vitamin D. Some of them have just take care of their immune system better. There might be all kinds of reasons, but it's clear that the CDC plan from before January, the CDC plan to deal with pandemics that goes back a decade, and that was reinforced and that every country in the world in a sense signed off of because it was a good plan, was, never had lockdowns in it, never had masks in it. What it had was, test, trace, isolate. This is kind of, you know, 101 pandemic, how to deal with the pandemic. Leverage up your resources in testing, tracing, and isolate. Isolate the people who have it. And this is true of deadly diseases. This is what you do. Communicable, deadly disease. Now, you could argue about how deadly is COVID and how, you know, the extent to which you want, but that's the kind of debate we should be having. Not whether to test, trace, isolate, but how deadly is it and what extent do we isolate, how much do we... I mean, given how deadly it is, but that's not the discussion that's being had. There is no discussion. It's basically panic, hysteria, tribalism, and politics. And in Europe, I'd say it's mostly panic and hysteria. Now, what's interesting is, in Europe right now, there are demonstrations against all of this. There are demonstrations to do this. And the violent demonstrations, places like in Italy, in Germany there were demonstrations, in Italy there were riots. We'll see what happens in the UK. We'll see what happens in France. You know, of course, France is also dealing with this wave of terrorism. So it's going to be really interesting to see how Europe overall copes with this. And to what extent, there is a trending on Twitter, there is a, I can't remember the exact statement, but it's something like, don't, you know, even if they do a lockdown, ignore it. And let's see, let's see the extent to which, let's see the extent to which Europeans are willing to stand up against these lockdowns. Europeans traditionally have not. Europeans traditionally have been very pro-government and pro-statism and do what the government tells you to do. Americans are the ones that usually stand up to government. You know, I don't think the US is going to try for lockdowns again. I think that is, I think Americans would resist it too strongly. But let's see if Europeans resist it. And the sad fact is, Americans did not resist it the first round. So I think the lesson learned for politicians is that Americans are softened. Americans are much more open and susceptible to statism and lockdowns than they were in the past. Anyway, a lot going on in the world. Yeah, Barcelona, a lot of demonstrations in Barcelona, riots in Barcelona, cops and rioters going after each other, fires and, you know, demonstrators starting fires and trash bins. And I haven't seen any looting, that's only, I guess, in Philadelphia. But no looting in Europe that I've seen. I've seen mainly demonstrations in riots and attacking the police. So it's going to be interesting to see what happens. Ratha says, USA lockdowns half-assed compared to Europe. It's not all of them. New York was a pretty harsh lockdown. So was other places, even in Texas. You remember that woman who was put on trial for opening up her salon? I mean, she was ultimately released from prison. But no, it's parts of the country. They took it very seriously and they were very harsh here in Puerto Rico. For a while we had very, very severe lockdowns. There's basically no lockdown right now in Puerto Rico. 55% limited capacity on restaurants, 30% in cinemas. But other than that, pretty much open, you know, at the beach, the beach is crowded. You have to wear a mask. There's a mask, you know, government is forcing us to wear masks, another massive violation of our rights. Government has no business in doing these things. Again, all it has a business is protecting rights, the way you protect rights during a pandemic. And test, trace, isolate. It's been like this forever. And you could argue, given the government's having involvement in the medical system and in hospitals and places like that, isolate the elderly so that they don't overwhelm the hospitals. But how you exactly isolate the elderly without violating rights and do it smart is tricky. But there are ways to do it, but there's been no effort. There's been no effort to do it. You know, that in New York State, elderly was sent back into nursing homes to infect the rest of the people, elderly who had COVID, to infect everybody else.  COVID has shown that our political leaders are incompetent. They're incompetent with the pandemic. They're completely ignorant, ignoramuses, incompetent, no plan, no execution from Trump to Johnson to Macron to whoever's running Italy these days to Germany to every one of these countries. They're absolutely 100% competent. And that didn't include all the governors in the United States. A possible exception of a Florida that has done a relatively good job, although in Florida you get lockdowns on local levels, on city levels. So we have a political class that has basically been shown to be completely and utterly incompetent. And therefore they need a fair price. What we need today, what I call the new intellectual, would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, whims or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist broods.

The Cavalcade of America presented by Dupont, makers of better things for better living through chemistry. The ends of men and women who have labored and today labor still with hand and mind and heart to build and to preserve a great free nation. The Cavalcade of America proudly dedicates the unending story of a new way of life in a new world. Tonight the Cavalcade of America presents Jeanette Nolan as Ann Rutledge in an original radio play Ann Rutledge and Lincoln, written by Norman Corwin, widely recognized as one of radio's outstanding playwrights. Preparing with Jeanette Nolan are the Cavalcade players. John McIntyre as Abe Lincoln, Carl Swenson as John McNeill, Ray Collins as Mr. Rutledge, Agnes Moorhead as Mrs. Rutledge, Ted Jewett as Mr. Winthrop, Kenneth Delmar as Jack Armstrong, Kingsley Colton, Peter and Edwin Jerome as the Doctor. Our orchestra and original musical score are under the direction of Don Voorhees. Dupont, makers of better things for better living through chemistry, presents Ann Rutledge and Lincoln on the Cavalcade of America. Let me tell you about the girl humming that tune. Her name is Ann Rutledge. A long time ago she lived with her mother and father and seven brothers and sisters in a tavern in New Salem, Illinois. Her name is familiar to you because a great man fell in love with her and never got over it. Otherwise you wouldn't have known about her. She was a bit prettier than average but still very much like a lot of girls you know yourselves. Ann was not a phantom or a legend. She was a girl. She was happy, she was sad and angry and coy and gentle and wise. She had fears and she had dreams. It is these things that our story is about. First of all, Ann Rutledge was a girl. Mother? Yes Ann? Can I ask you something important? Can it wait until we do the dishes? Oh yes, I guess it can wait all right. Well tell me, what is it? Don't laugh at me now. Oh come now, do you want to ask me or don't you? Mother, what's it like to be in love? What? Ann, now why should have thought like that being your head at this hour of the morning? Because I've been thinking about it all night. You have? Yes, I just couldn't sleep. I kept listening to the crickets and the frogs and the house creaking. And did you know there's a screech all down on the Glen somewhere? No. Well there is because I heard it. And I also heard Pa snoring. I heard that myself. Toward morning it got very still. It seemed everything went to sleep. Even the crickets and the frogs. And then I could hear my heart beating. Slowly. Like this. No I was afraid it would stop. Maybe you shouldn't have ate before you went to bed Ann. Oh no, I felt fine. Only I kept wondering how it must be to hear all those things when you're... Well, when you're in love.   Too young? Well I'm seventeen ain't I? How old were you when you fell in love? 16. Well there. Mother? What's it like? It's just what you suppose it's like. Just what you imagine it's like. If it's what I imagine... Then it's like the way the leaves stirred all last night. And the little sounds kept coming from far away. Or it's like how the hay smell down a puddle's farm just after they finished mowing last week. Like warm blankets and soft pillows. When you're all snug in bed and it's blowing a blizzard outside. And there are icicles on the window. Is it... Is it anything like that mother? Yes Ann. Sometimes when it's unspoiled. That's the nice part of love. The nice part? But what can there be bad about being in love? Oh, some things. Some things I hope you'll never find out about. Yes, Ann Rutledge was just an average girl. And she was happy. I'm a starpin. Why should I mind? Because I stopped just to look at you. Then I do mind John McNeil. It's so hard to see your eyes when I'm looking at the road. Why you're blushing. Am I? It rather becomes you too. I'm not blushing. It's just the heat of the day. I'm very warm, that's all. Well, whatever it is. You're awful pretty. I'm glad you think so John. Ann, would you mind if I kissed you? Kissed me? No. I'm sorry. I mean, no. I wouldn't mind. And? John, you want to know something? What? That was the first time in my life I've ever been kissed. Oh, you want to know something, Ann? What? Here's your second. Yes, Ann Rutledge was a happy girl. But sometimes she was sad. Well, good night. Good night, all. Good night. Good night. Good night. I must say Abe Lincoln's a funny man. I swear I never did hear anybody tell stories the way he tells them. You don't have to wet his whistle to do it either. He's a fine Christian gentleman, Mr. Lincoln is. Did you hear the one he told about that?  Didn't you think that bear story of Lincoln was funny? I wasn't listening to Mr. Lincoln. I'm going upstairs to bed. Good night, Mother. Good night, dear. Good night, Father. Good night. Good night, Mother and Father. And the children. And John McNeil. And please make John change his mind and come back to New Salem as he promised me he would. Because I'm so lonely since he went back east to make him come back to me. I love him so much. Ann Rutledge was a girl, happy and sad. And she had a temper. Give him air. Give the poor man some air. He's coming too. He'll be all right. Is there anyone else who cares to give an opinion about my drinking too much? If there is, just speak up and I'll pile him in the corner with Mr. Williams and the rest of the wreckage. Maybe that'll teach you to let me and the boys drink in peace without no preaching as to how a gentleman should conduct himself in a tavern. Now listen here, Jack, I'm strong. As proprietor of this tavern, I have a... Mr. Rutledge, you seen what I just done to Williams? Yes. Oh, so what you done to my good chair?   I wish I were younger, I'm strong. I'd take you on. Why, you bald-headed old coot Rutledge? I'll take anybody on, young and old together. I'll take them in pairs, I will. Ain't a man in town's got guts enough to stand for me? Well, it's a more or less liquor and quick. I'm a parable thirsty man. Well, drink yourself to death if you want to. Sooner or the better for us. What do you think you're doing? Taking this whiskey away from you. You've made enough trouble for one night. And come away. Just a minute, Annie McGow. Just a minute.  I meant it to hurt. You did, huh? Well, look at you now. Now, if you were a man... You were the man I wouldn't have to. Oh, yeah? Have you tried Abe Lincoln? I'd like to see you calling that to his face. You would, would you? Well, come around tomorrow by the store. I'll be there. And it'll be a great pleasure to see them carry you out. Yes, Anne Rutledge was a girl. She could be happy and sad and angry and gentle. Aren't you getting too much sun on you, Mr. Lincoln? Won't make much difference to a face like mine. Sunshineing on the water. That can burn, too. You ever heard of the Sangamon River burning anybody? All right. But don't say I didn't warn you. No, for anything concerning my looks, I'm afraid I'll have to take full responsibility. You're... You're not bad-looking, Mr. Lincoln. Light bother your eyes, Miss Anne? No. I can see fine. I like your looks. Well, thank you for being very kind. Aren't you going to say anything about mine? Well, I'm... I'm not very good at expressing myself on things I feel very, very deeply about. You feel very deeply about my looks? About you, Miss Anne. Don't suppose I have any right to hope, but I do, nevertheless. I hope that someday I might perhaps be worthy of your affection. Oh? But in the meantime, though, I hope you just let me keep saying that you've let me take you for walks. Maybe sit with me again like this on the bank of the river? Mr. Lincoln. Yes? How is your memory? Why, all right, I guess. Do you remember how you threw Jack Armstrong the time he came down to the store looking for a fight? Yes. How you got your arms around him and spun him head over heels? Mm-hmm. Well, why don't you try putting your arms around me? But leave out the spin. Anne Rutledge was gentle, and she was also wise. Yes, Peter? Which do you think is the best? The soldier or a sailor? I'm sure I don't know. That's been worrying me. Very well. Now let me read, please. Sister, sailors get seasick. Can't you see I'm trying to read, Peter? Well, I only wanted to know. I was only asking. Oh, I'm sorry, Peter. I was trying to read. What did you want to know? Do sailors get seasick? Well, I shouldn't think so. Not good sailors, anyway. Why do you ask? I was just wondering what I'd be when I grow up. A soldier or a sailor? I think I'll be a soldier. Why?  Come over here, Pierre. Have you been listening to old Dan Potter? He killed 21 Indians with his bare fist. These engines aren't to be trusted, and they're no good, no how.  The only Indians he ever saw are those nice old trappers who come to trade every winter at Malcolm's store. Get the idea out of your head that Indians are no good, no how. Anyway, no how isn't a word, anyhow. Wouldn't the engines run away if they saw a soldier coming with a gun loaded? I doubt it. Ask Abe Lincoln sometime about the Black Hawk War. He was a captain in the war, but he didn't see any Indians running away from white men. In fact, to the contrary. Yes, but white men aren't afraid to die. Nobody likes to die. Red or white or yellow or black. It's just like Mr. Lincoln says. The two most unpopular things in the world are not being free and being dead.  I wouldn't be sure.  There's nothing they can do about it. But there's plenty a man can do about not being free. Yes. The sailors have to learn how to swim. Yes, doctor. If the man is quiet as possible, she mustn't get out of bed. Is it that serious, doctor? Will she be a long time getting well? Mrs. Rutledge, Anne's not going to get well. Oh, no. You might as well know now. How long will it be? It might be two days. It might be two weeks. I'm terribly... I'm sorry. I'm going into it. I've told you nothing now. There. Do I look all right? Yes. I'll wait here. Are you comfortable? Is everything... I feel retchard, mother. You're going to be all right. The doctor says so. He says so? Yes. You're going to be all right. Do you believe him? Why, of course, Anne. What a question. Has Abe been here since yesterday? He came last night, but you were asleep and he didn't want to disturb you. Even if I'm asleep, please wake me up when he comes, mother. Oh, no, not if you're asleep, dear. The doctor says you need all... Mother, I'll get enough rest. More than I need. Yeah, when he comes. Yes, dear, yes. Of course. There, now. He's not so cross. Oh, there. There, lie back. I'll tell you. Talk to Abe because... Oh, well. You know how I feel about him. Yes, Anne, I know. And I've got to see him now or... or what? Let me just look at you and wish hard. Wish hard? Wish so hard that nothing can stand up against me. Like a... like a tornado blowing the sky right off its hinges. Then I'd wish away your fever. I'd wish... Abe. What are you going to do when I'm gone? When you're gone? What I do when I'm 80 is of no concern to me right now. Do you love me, Abe? I... my hand, I've... gotten heaven-hand. I know.  Yes.  Go on. Because it's what I'd want you to be if I were with you. Be a big man, Anne. Why, I'll never even be a little man without you. I'll be nothing. Abraham Lincoln, I know you. I know you better than you know yourself. You'll grieve for me a bit, but you'll be all right after a while when you find out that grieving doesn't help. If it's all possible for me to be near you after I'm gone anyway, then I will come to you, Abe. Please, Anne, you're tiring yourself. And when your mind's at peace, you'll go back to your books and you'll be great. Because you're just naturally made that way. I don't want to be great. I just want you to be well again, Anne. You'll get some rest now. You're going to be all right. I'll stay right here by your side. Please now, my sweet. Yes, I am a bit tired. That's right. Rest now. You won't leave me, will you? No, dear, I won't leave you. Never leave you. Good. Good. Yes, Anne Rutledge was a girl. An ordinary girl. A bit prettier than average, but still very much like a lot of girls, you know. And when she died, all that was young and gay and Abe Lincoln died with her. And a sadness came into his eyes that never left them. Nor did those gentle brooding eyes forget the little graveyard near New Salem and the girl who rested there. Anne Rutledge, whose love for Abraham Lincoln was among the immortals in the cavalcade of America. America thanks to Annette Nolan and the cavalcade players for their performance of Anne Rutledge and Lincoln. And now the DuPont Company brings you its story from the wonder world of chemistry. In the year 1639 in the austere little settlement of Charlestown, Massachusetts, a clergyman who had sinned grievously was brought before the elders and charged with what was considered a wicked offense. His horrified neighbors reported the inside of his house. Such vanity was not to be forgiven. Even the worst sinner in Charlestown would not have dared to paint the outside of a house. Time plays curious tricks with our notions of right and wrong. Not many years later in New England, the painted house became a mark of social distinction, thanks to the fact that a barrel of paint cost a small fortune. If your house was painted, people felt pretty sure you were a fine gentleman, or at least a rich one. What those early attitudes are from our own. Our modern feeling is that not only our houses, but our health and happiness too are better off for color. Psychologists tell us we have fewer mental kinks in rooms decorated in colors that give us a sense of gayity, spaciousness and freedom. If you've done any traveling around the country lately, you've seen with your own eyes the change that's taking place. In New England today, the weathered silvery cottages at Skonset on Nantucket gave painted shutters under their crimson ramblers. One woman on Cape Cod sent all the way to a DuPont dealer in New Mexico for a blue she had seen on the houses there. She could have bought the same blue in Provincetown, but she wanted to make certain it was just right. The part DuPont has played in brightening the surface of America is no small one. DuPont makes self-cleaning house paints in white and colors for the outside of homes, roof paints, barn paints, and a paint for shutters called trim and trellis finish. For interior walls, DuPont makes primers, sealers, and flat wall paint. For walls and woodwork, there are DuPont interior semi-gloss and interior gloss finishes. Dulux super white and super ivory. And Duco, the handy enamel for furniture, woodwork, and walls. For floors, there are varnishes, penetrating wood finish, floor and deck enamel, stains and waxes. All of them contributions in color to better things for better living through chemistry. And now the star of next week's program, Edwin Jerome. Ladies and gentlemen, next week our radio play will be called Red Death. It is the story of Dr. Joseph Goldberger, a great American scientist who devoted his life to finding a cure for pelagra, a disease that had ravaged the south for generations. And that was his contribution to the distinguished achievements of American medical science. The orchestra and original scores on the cavalcade of America are under the direction of Don Burry. Your narrator was William Spargrove. This is Clayton Collier, sending best wishes from DuPont. This is the National Broadcasting Company.

All right, insha'Allah. Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim. The blessed bananas written by Tayyibah Sayyid and illustrated by Milani Poocher. I really like the cover art.  He was the wealthiest of all for Allah, the Most High, had truly blessed Rico with the banana plant he called home. It bore sweet, tasty bananas all year round, so Rico never had to search for food. He refused to share his bananas with anyone, and he never thanked Allah for all his blessings. Rico thought he deserved all the bananas since he had planted and grown this plant all by himself. Reaction, everyone went, No, he hadn't. See, that's smart thinking. Masha'Allah, we have some smart boys in our group. Everyone in the village below knew not to come near Rico or the hill. That was his home, and those were his bananas. Every day he sat alone atop his banana plant, eating bananas and tossing the pills down below. Not caring about the mess. That's littering. That is littering. The monkey had everything he needed, great food, a perfect home with the best view. In California, do we have good views? Yes. Yes, alhamdulillah. And a beautiful surrounding breeze. Yet Rico felt like something was still missing. So every day, Rico would count his bananas to make sure they were all there. 305, 306, 307. That's a lot of bananas. As the monkey continued counting, he heard a tiny squeaky voice from below. Excuse me, sir? May the peace of Allah be upon you, the little voice called out. Immediately, Rico looked around the area to see who would dare come near him and his bananas. Who's there, he asked, not seeing anyone in sight. Down here, spoke a little white mouse. Rico glared at his feet. He shrieked.  This is my home and you are not allowed up here. Now shoot. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you. My name is Chico. I'm new to this area and was searching for some lunch. I made daat to Allah to help me find food. And then I saw your yummy bananas. May I have just one banana? Pretty please? He asked politely. Listen, mouse, leave my home right this minute or you will be sorry. Everyone knows no one is allowed up here and I don't share my bananas with anyone. I heard except for himself and he is a bully. He sounds like a bully. Let's see. I don't know anyone here and I didn't know about your rules, sir. Chico explained softly. I won't disturb you again. Chico was so sad that his eyes began to well up with tears. He wondered how someone could be so selfish and mean. Out of respect for the elder monkey though, Chico did not say another word and sadly scurried back down. Ya Allah, please guide that monkey to goodness. And with that prayer Chico went quickly down the hill. Rico's heart was now racing with anger. That was the first time in a long time anyone had come and talked to him. He was not happy about it. He realized the unwanted meeting with the mouse had made him forget his count. Great. Now I must start all over again, he said out loud. You do? You have a good memory. I didn't remember that and I read it. As Rico began counting again, a black and yellow toucan flew down behind and rested on the opposite side of the banana plant. She was panting very hard. As-salamu alaikum. She said between breaths, I'm toucana. May I rest here for a few minutes? Rico could feel his blood boiling and he quickly turned around to see who dares to come onto his property now. He walked up close to toucana. He stared at her hard. He then leaned in close to her face and shouted, No. Toucana fluttered her wings and disbelief and backed away from him. I found it really mean. I didn't mean to upset you. I had been flying for a long time and just needed a break. I saw your lovely home and didn't think you'd mind. I'll just be going. Sorry, toucana said kindly. Tired and hurt, she flew away, making a quick doah.  Oh Allah, please have your mercy on him too. Rico had had enough and decided to put up signs to keep strangers off his property and the signs definitely worked. Days went by and no one came by Rico or his home. Rico ate and ate his bananas until his tummy hurt. Yet he wasn't satisfied. Something still missing, he said to himself. Who can see what his signs say? For you. For you, good.  No bananas, for you. He used the number four. It's like slang. One afternoon, Rico finally climbed down his tree to check up on his signs when a large gray elephant approached him. Assalamu alaikum brother, my name is Simone. He greeted warmly in a deep voice. Rico turned aglared up in shock at the giant creature. I am not your brother, Rico replied curtly. What do you mean? No one is allowed to come near me or my home. Don't you see my signs here? Now Simone was in dire need of the monkey's help and decided to ignore his rudeness. He reached out his trunk and softly nudged Rico on his shoulder. You are my brother in this land. He reminded Rico, I need your help to find my herd. I see you live on this tall banana tree on this high hill where I was hoping you could look from above to see which way my herd went, said Simone. I should practice my deep voice. Rico had heard enough. Get off my property right this minute. You can find your own way back. The word spit out of Rico's mouth. He turned his back towards the elephant and started to climb back up his plant. Brother, I beg you, Simone pleaded, take a minute to look for my herd and I'll be on my way. Please brother, please. Rico ignored him and just kept climbing. In desperation Simone began to pace back and forth. He didn't notice all of the banana peels below and under his huge feet suddenly. He started to slip and he quickly grabbed onto the plant's large stem with his trunk. Whoa, Simone screamed, shaking the plant as he tried to get back on his feet. Shaking the plant, whoa! He was up in the tree. Startled and scared, Rico held on from above with both hands. Bananas came crashing down just missing Simone's head causing him to lose his balance and to shake the plant even harder. Rico watched with shock as one by one the bananas rained downward. He said, Rico, help, someone help! However, no one came to his rescue. He then looked up to the heavens and he prayed as hard as he could. Ya Allah, help me as you are the only one that can save me now. In his deepest time, who did he reach out to? Allah. So that means there's goodness in his heart. At the foot of the hill, Chico and Toukana happened to be resting by a water hole. They both wordly looked up towards the hill when they heard all of the chaos. Do you hear that, asked Chico? Someone's in trouble up there. Let me fly up and check, said Toukana. She quickly flew upwards to get a better view and saw the old monkey desperately hanging onto his banana plant with panic in his eyes. It's the old monkey, Toukana shouted down to Chico. He looks like he's about to fall. Oh no, we have to help him, cried Chico. Toukana swooped down and grabbed Chico into her long beak. She then flew up again as fast as she could through the shower and bananas and leaves. They reached Chico in no time, but she couldn't talk with Chico in her mouth. Chico immediately recognized Toukana and was relieved to see her this time. Please help, begged Chico. The alofa is knocking down all my precious bananas. Chico peeked out from inside Toukana's beak. Ya Allah, please help. He prayed silently. He then told Toukana to fly down close to the elephant's ear. Despite Simone's magnificent size, Chico knew just what to do. So Chico's the mouse. In Toukana, the birds beak. She's telling him, fly down, fly down to the elephant. She said, fly down. When she flew down close to Simone, salawat ala nabi. He shouted into Simone's enormous ear. Simone didn't know where the order came from, but he quickly let go of the plant and found his footing again. Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad. He recited with a lackled exhale. Then all became calm. He looked up and saw Toukana hovering above his head and his mouse in his beak. Peace, he greeted them. Salam. Rico slowly climbed down to the others. He started to cry at the sight of all the fallen mushy bananas. Why did you knock down this monkey's bananas? Chico questioned Simone. I didn't mean to do that. I got separated from my herd and I currently asked this monkey to search from above, but he refused. I said, I lost my banana peels and lost my balance. Simone explained as he gasped for breath. I'm sorry about all your bananas. He apologized to Rico. Still he made a mistake, so he apologized. Chico, Toukana, and Simone all stared at Rico. No one knew how he would respond. The monkey sat on the ground and placed his face in his hands. He realized it was his own carelessness and selfishness that caused all his bananas to fall. He felt bad about how he had treated the others and yet they still came to his help and rescued him. After a few minutes of silence, he stood up again. It's not your fault, Rico said, finally spoke. I should be the one to apologize. These years of being alone here have made me selfish and ungrateful. Each did not ask me for much. I should have helped you all. Please forgive me. Toukana let Chico climb out of her beak. It's okay, she said. We already forgave you so that Allah can forgive us one day. Rico finally let out a radiant smile. Please come up and take rest in my home, he welcomed Toukana.  Please help yourself, he told the little mouse. They all look happy now. Then he climbed to the top of his home and he scanned the village below. He pointed north and said, there I see your herd that way. Simone looked up at Rico happily thanked him and then went down the hill heading north. I'm glad he didn't though because then Simone would have been really lost. Then Rico shouted from atop his trees, oh my fellow villagers, please come and help yourself to these bananas. What's mine is yours. Villagers came running up the hill from all corners, gathering up as many bananas as they could. They made breads, shakes, puddings and all types of goodies with the fruit. The more Rico gave away, the more bananas his plant bore. So when he gave it away, did all his bananas leave? Subhanallah. Alhamdulillah, thank you Allah for everything. Rico cried out in happiness as he was no longer counting bananas and he was finally feeling satisfied. Nothing was missing anymore. He now enjoyed his blessed bananas atop his home with his new friends Toukana and Chico. And the best part was that the bananas tasted sweeter than ever. The end. I think mice can climb. We should look up later if mice can climb trees. Otherwise Toukana might have helped. What did you guys think of that book? I know and there's two really nice recipes at the end. For banana bread, a banana date shake and banana pudding. What did you guys think of that book? Did you like it? What do you think we learned from the book? To share. To share, good. To not be greedy. Okay, we gotta listen. Can you say that one more time? Yes, that Chico felt like something was missing and that Chico needed friends. That's nice. Rico, you're right. Rico, Rico needed friends. Chico was the mouse. They reminded you of a Pokemon named Trico. I've never heard of that one. Did we learn anything else from this? Don't be greedy and selfish is a good one. Being nice and kind to others. Being kind, that's a good one. That was a very good one, yes. What happened when he gave away all his bananas? In the beginning he saved them because he wanted to save them all for himself, right? But then what happened when he gave them away? I'm gonna pick on people who have their hands raised. The more he gave away and being respectful, good. The more he gave away and the more I'll bless him with more bananas, right? So what does that tell us? If we're giving it away but we're getting more, what does that tell us? Who's the one who provides for us? Is it just our hard work? Allah swt. So when we give to others, is that really taking away from us? Or do you think Allah swt is gonna give us more back? Good, masha'Allah.


Alright we are back for year 3 I believe it is now and quickly before we get into the video I want to give a big shout out to Speedy Gaming. He's been helping me throughout the series and dropping a comment on almost every video that I've posted. He just left a comment, last video saying, hey Leafy just for some info don't ever pick people with faces unless you know they were good. So yeah like I said big shout out to him he's been helping me out with franchise helping me learn it so again Speedy thank you very much but without further ado we're going to start the year 3 sim we're pretty much just going to sim to the start of the season set up all the lines because as of now we signed who we wanted to sign and all that good stuff. What I did want to say is I think for the start of the season depending on how things go we are going to be keeping Mr. Geno Malkin again just for the time being depending on how the penguins do to start the season that's when we will decide if we should get rid of them. I think at trade deadline it would be smart to get rid of him start prepping for the future especially if the team is doing super good and we could afford to lose him if that makes sense so I think that's cool we're getting a lot of trades here I just want to simulate here and all these trades have not been good hold on as I say that Joel Edmondson let me edit this trade what is this about so we'd be getting rid of a third a fourth and pust it in who is a 62 overall two way forward he's 59 alright interesting we'd get Edmondson a 3.5 for two years he's an 83 do we need him on the back end is what I want to look at here I'm not sure if we do because looking at things we got yeah so Tang newly signed Ekholm Dave Joseph Marino Patterson like it would be good to get him and kind of get rid of maybe Patterson but we don't really need him pust it in let me do my research on him I think he's one of our best prospects if I'm not mistaken who's in and he's unknown you know I might do it we have him for two years at 3.5 it's going to screw us a little bit at the cap if we get rid of Gino it makes sense and again the draft picks for 2023 again we're trying to win now right so it doesn't really matter we're trying to win one more cup I'm going to accept this trade so Joel Edmondson we're starting up the video with a trade and we bolster up our defense there so good stuff coming out of out of the off season from the Pittsburgh Penguins we made some big moves and now it's time to see what the lineups are going to look like as we are heading into September and here the pre-seasons let's edit the lines here I'm interested to see what this is going to look like so let's see what we can do here okay you know what this Pittsburgh Penguins team is looking pretty good so we were able to get a plus one in every line the only thing I don't like is Capi's on the fourth line for the time being but we will see how that goes I can't really fit him anywhere else so the first line is looking like the newly signed Chris Tierney we'll be playing first line minutes with Sydney Crosby and Jake Gensel the second line will be looking like Zucker, Malkin and Ricardo Raquel third line Jared McCann, Mikhail Granlin and Jan Kelski and then the fourth line tandem Lafferty and Cap and I actually did not check who we have scratched and we do have Eric Stahl scratched so let's let's throw him in there substitute and let me fix up the lines now okay so we slaughtered an Eric Stahl here on the fourth line I don't think this fourth line needs a plus one it's a pretty good fourth line if I have to say so myself so the only thing that really changes I third and fourth line so the third lines look like Brandon Tannib, Mikhail Granlin, Jared McCann and then the fourth line is Cap and then Jan Kelski and Eric Stahl if I do say so myself very good very very good fourth line we're gonna put Stahl center I have a feeling he has better face-off ratings we're gonna check that 79 compared to 80 so Jan Kelski actually has a better rating so we'll leave it the way it was here we are gonna get rid of Pettersen maybe because we do have Joel Edmondson just sit in there so let's throw him in there we got a plus one there I think we're gonna leave the defense the way it is so we got a new first top pairing of Matthias Ekholm and Christopher LaTang like that is a sick pairing I'm pretty happy to see how that works out we now have a second pairing of Joel Edmondson and John Marino pretty good and then a third pairing of Hamanic and Joseph so that is pretty good and looking at our golden situation Tristan Jaurie and Anton Forsberg I'm interested to see how Forsberg does we're gonna run with him as a starter to start the season it's gonna be interesting to see how he does like I did say and then special teams let me edit this up quickly all right so these are the power play lines we're gonna keep them the way they are I don't think I can do any better so I think the team is ready to go I'm gonna make sure let me make sure that the captains are set the way they should be cool and then I did want to check if we did turn injuries back off I don't think we did all right injuries off good on me for remembering that so we're just gonna start the the year here and see how the specific payments team does will probably simulate two or three months just to see how they do now preseason doesn't really mean much but let's see how they do in the preseason with the new players on the team 4 1 1 5 3 L we don't like to see that okay preseason not looking good we are two three and one but we are ready to start the season here and we're starting off hard so that's what she said but we're starting off with a back-to-back so not ideal but let's simulate this first month let me make sure Anton Forsberg is the starter for the first game I want to see how he does there and he is oh 77 all right Tristan Jari is a starter so maybe if we do decide to try Gino it's gonna be for a piece that will be a starting goal tender so let's see all right first month let's see how Tristan Jari does and we start off with a two game three game losing streak and I feel like this is the best team we've had as a Pittsburgh Penguins team and we are two five and two it's not looking good so after one month we are three seven and two something is clearly not working I don't know what it is we're gonna have to fix something ideally first thing I do want to check is this 902 save percentage is okay it's not that great it's so we are definitely looking for a better goal tender just straight away and maybe Gino's time is coming up sooner than we thought captain is up to an 85 so I'm gonna put him up on that second line we're gonna put Ricardo up on to the third line have Jared McCann on the fourth line and I think for the time being that's a way to go now looking at if we trade Gino ideally we want to get back a goal tender and probably a third or fourth liner so maybe that's something we got to look into I'll give it one more month before I think we need to make a move if that makes sense but I do want to edit the trading block and we're gonna throw Gino milk and up there if he isn't already up there he should have been but yeah let's see we'll give it one more year and if we have to Gino it's gonna be time for your career in Pittsburgh to possibly come to an end I wanted to wait till trade deadline but if the team's looking the way it's looking right now we need to make a trade ASAP so let's have a better month here we're off to a two game three game winning streak which is nice we take an L there against the Islanders let's keep it rolling here boys don't make me make them force me to make a move that I don't want to make but let's see here so after two months we are 15 10 and two so we definitely brought it back that month we are currently sitting in third in the metro tide for second actually but the islanders have two games in hand and the devils have two as well so a way better month I'm gonna give it one more month of the side what we're gonna do with Gino now I wanted to check how Jari was doing here 9-11 safe percentage so it's looking better Anton Ford we're going up to a 79 but he's only played two games Gensel went up an overall I think Crosby did too since the start of the month Tierney went from an 86 to an 82 let's put Raquel first line we'll put Tierney third line yeah that makes sense and then on defense at home Latang went down to overalls and missing went down to overalls so not looking good for the team but like I said we had a better month I'm gonna give it one more month if we continue to keep rolling we're gonna keep the team the way it is and then I'm gonna give you guys in the comments a chance to help me out with what we should do with Gino going forward next video so we'll give it one more month to see how the team does if the team does not do good I will make the decision myself and trade Gino away if we do good I want your guys opinion in the comments so let's keep it going here not a trade we're interested in so far so good we start off with a two-game winning streak we two L's there but we win all right so it looks like not a pretty good month the Canadians have fired their head coach nice so I mean listen three months down we're year 21 13 and four especially having that that first horrible month we're doing good we are currently sitting in third in the metro still we are four points behind the hurricanes and or yeah four points behind their hurricanes and five behind the no more than five behind the Islanders we have a game in hand crowds me with 45 points and 38 games which is nice to see so with that being said we had a good month I'm gonna give you guys in the comments the chance to give me your opinion on what I should do with Gino Malkin he started the season off by the way at a 91 overall he is now at an 89 it is an ideal in 38 games played he said 19 goals 22 assists so he's still producing but let me know I think I know what I'm gonna do with him if I do decide to trade him we're gonna look for a third line center so Grandin can come up to the second line we're gonna look for a third or fourth line center and then we are gonna look for a starting goal tender so let me know in the comments down below what I should do with Gino Malkin but for the time being the team is doing pretty good maybe we roll with Gino for one last time and we let him walk if he doesn't retire this season you again you guys let me know what we should do I think maybe it's best to keep him because we have a chance to win with him can at the overalls here nothing's really changed can we change stall we can't change stall so stall's got to stay on the fourth line there defense has anyone gone up doesn't look like it how's Joseph doing 3 goals 6 assists and 38 games not bad not bad at all and then the big thing I want to check Tristan Jari is at an 898 save percentage so I think it is safe to say on the Pittsburgh Penguins need to find a starter it's just plain and simple this guy's 20 70 has a potential to be a starter but like dude your career you're 27 like you're not that young anymore I think it's time for us to make a move for a goal tender if it's trading away Malkin in that package so be it but again I'm gonna leave that up to you guys what I should do with Gino but I think it is a smart move for us to go out and get a goal tender but yeah we're gonna end it there I know this is gonna be a shorter type video but we went through three months next video will be probably the trade deadline and the rest of the season so again I'm leaving it up to you guys what I should do with Malkin let me know in the comments down below but guys that is it for today's videos thank you guys very much for watching and I'll talk to you later peace
