Game 18; Pens vs. Devils

"Laraque got the wood out and he got his money's worth!"


A POWER MOVE BY MALONE!!!!!!


On Jeremy Roenick's 500th NHL goal:
"You think that will get him in the Hall of Fame, Steiggy? If not, I bet he'll talk his way in!"


"Oh, Steiggy! There's something you don't see too often in the NHL! That was one man and one boy!"


On Jarkko Ruutu:
Errey: "He's not the Finnish Flash..."
Steiggy: "He's the Finnish Crash! That's what he is."
(For some reason, you'd think those quotes would be reversed, yet I rewound and listened several times and it appears as though I transcribed it accurately...)


Wait wait wait...did Errey just compare Laraque to Gretzky?!?!?!? He did? Okay, let's just proceed like that didn't happen. At least he realized the insanity of what he just said...


"...and Staal tries to tip it in with that long fishing pole..."*



I had to listen to the last 8 minutes on the radio due to my own hockey game, so I apologize for missing anything good at the end of the game.

Until Thursday...




*We're getting closer and closer to a "pterodac-tile" or "long arm of the law, Steiggy!" slipping in there. I am giddy with anticipation...

Game 17; Pens vs. Flyers

I didn't really get anything from this game. I watched it Sunday morning before having any coffee so I couldn't pay close attention. Though I did notice Errey talking about Jordan Staal's long reach. We're one step closer to the first "Long arm of the law, Steiggy!" of the season...

Game 16; Pens vs. Rangers

Quote to sum up Jordan Staal's season thus far:
"It seems like we haven't talked about his mouth guard yet all season!"


Penguins "power moves" performed by: Malone (YES!) and Laraque.

Game 15; Pens vs. Flyers

On the discussion of which Finnish player on the Flyers has the coolest name:
"How come all the Finns get the cool names?"
"I think Nittymaki kinda sounds like sushi."


"First game back from a road trip, always a difficult situation. You gotta get the family in order...the dog...feed the goldfish, Steiggy!"



Side note: has anyone seen Jordan Staal? We could really use him...

Game 14; Pens vs. least popular team in hockey

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the first and probably last time Brooks Orpik will ever be compared to Magic Johnson:

"He looked like Magic Johnson on that one passing to Kareem Abdul Jabbar!"

Game 13; Pens vs. Isles

Yeah...I only saw about 30 seconds of this game with Errey announcing, so I got nothing...

Game 12: Pens vs. Nordiques

"Speaking of Sauer, there are a lot of sour fans here right now."

I feel as though it should be noted that a discussion of Sabourin's (creepy baby) mask led to a discussion of whether or not penguins (the bird, not the team) like fish.

Steiggy: "We asked Sabourin if he played any other sports as a kid and he said he played shortstop for an elite travel baseball team in Quebec..."
Errey: "What would you have done if he had said chess?"
(20 seconds of silence with only awkward chuckles from both of them)
Errey: "Sorry, Steiggy. I didn't mean to put you on the spot there..."
Steiggy: "That's okay, I was thinking the same thing..."
(Editors note: I think my head just exploded...)

2 minutes later (I can't remember who said what here):
"He makes the save standing up like a chess player."
"Chess players stand up, don't they?"
Errey: "...Kasparov!"

After a too many men on the ice call:
Steiggy: "Too many Penguins."
Errey: "You can never have too many Penguins, can you?"

Crosby switches sticks twice in a span of 20 seconds. Another face off is about to take place 10 seconds later:
"I dare him to go get another stick!"

"Sauer was laying an egg on the ice! He wanted a whistle. Malone came out. He was the rooster with the egg!"

Pens "power moves" tonight performed by: Crosby, Malkin (Malone somehow shut out...even when he cut across the crease nearly leveling Theodore)

Jordan Staal's stick was finally compared to a fishing pole. It took long enough, but I'm glad we got that first one in. That's just one step closer to a "Pterodac-tile" or a "Long arm of the law, Steiggy!" slipping in there...
