Game 65; Pens vs. Bruins

"People didn't think someone that was 6'9" could play hockey. Play something else, Zdeno!"


Why is it that when I see a Pens player wearing #9 the first name I think of is Rene Corbet?


Errey on Hal Gill's pants: "I don't know... I'd be swimming in those things! I'd be wearing those as full length pants!" (I do not believe he has mentioned the length of his stick yet, and I am disappointed...)


"You see that? We're trying to put the hex on Tim Thomas, throwing that shutout streak out there."

Game 64; Pens vs. Isles

Hmmmm...starting the game two men down? Let's get Errey and the Ol' Two-Niner in there!

"The old backward shuffle. He looked like Michael Jackson there!"


"I've got a couple pinkie fingers and you can look at them right now, Steiggy..."


Steiggy: "And once again it's the anticipation of Conklin."
Errey: "Yeah, well, it's gonna be constipation for the New York Islanders if they can't get one behind him!"


"How about the newcomer Davison coming across and laying that big butt check on Connor James?"


"Don't you have to be tall to have a high ankle sprain?"


"That's the magic of Potash!"


Question to ponder for Thursday: Exactly how long will Errey think 6'7" Hal Gill's stick is? Bonus question: how many times will the length of said stick be mentioned?

Game 63; Pens vs. Sharks

"Laraque's looking for a dance, but not the kind of dance that we like, Steiggy. He's looking to drop the gloves."


"You can't just, uh, beat the horse all the time, Steiggy. Sometimes you gotta give it a little bit of loving. Give it some good food. Some good oats and grain, and that's what Therrien was doing!"


Errey: "You know Vlasic's nickname is 'Pickles'..."
Steiggy: "I like the Vlasic pickles, do you?"
Errey: I'm not into the dill, I'm into the sweet ones."
Steiggy: "You like the pickle stabbing, I know that!"
Errey: "Can you imagine if Vlasic actually pickle stabbed one into the net today? That would be huge!"


Steiggy channeling John Madden: "No wonder they don't have any shots in overtime. They haven't taken any!"

Game 62; Pens vs. Sens

I was at this game and would like to forget it.

Let's move on...

Game 61; Pens vs, Habs

"He's a pesty fella!"

Ruutu chewing his jersey after his goal: "He's like a pit bull! He's like...he's like your new puppy at home...he's chewing everything!"


"They've got the same haircut! It must be the French cut!"


"I got an old couch at home that looks like some of the material he wore yesterday!"


I'm missing the end of this game since I have to get to Southpointe for my own game. Oh well. Post anything I missed in the comments.

Game 60; Pens vs. Panthers

Yeah...I got nothing for this game. A combination of seeing most of the first period at a bar/restaurant due to a mediocre waitress, then watching the game with a group of people so I couldn't pay close attention, and it also seemed as if Errey was subdued after being on fire for the last couple of game.

I do have one question though: could somebody please explain to me precisely where this "six-hole" is?

Everyone knows the five hole is between the legs of the goalie. Holes one through four are generally comprised of the upper and lower quarters of the net. Unless Errey is subdividing the left and the right sides into three holes a piece, I have no clue where this six-hole is that apparently everyone shot for tonight. Anyone?

Also, I'll use an exact cut and paste from a Panthers game earlier this year because it fits once again (just replace Ruutu with whatever Penguin player was nearby this time):
I take severe issue with Errey and Steiggy questioning the delay of game call against Vokoun. It was a textbook delay of game call regardless of whether or not Ruutu was nearby. Goalies cannot freeze the puck outside of the crease. They'll generally let it go if it's remotely near the crease, but Vokoun was at least 10 feet outside the crease. That's a call that has to be made (I'd say the same thing had the Pens been called).

Game 59; Pens vs. Sabres

Good acting from Kaleta...throwing his head back hard as Laraque pushed him in the chest...


"The pickle stabber to the paraphernalia of Miller. That heat seeking missle, that stick of Malkin [...] Watch Malkin come in with the stick right there. Doink!"


On how Paille's name could be pronounced "pie":
"Oh yeah, what was Paille's goals against? 3.14?"


"Steiggy, I'm not just a pretty face up here."


"Jarkko Ruutu, Chi-Chi Rodriguez!"


Fucking Kaleta... I've never heard of him before today and he's already one of my least favorite players in the league...


"They come in bunches, like bananas!"


"Did he drill it in with the pickle stabber, Steiggy?"


"You could say they're running with the Devils." (Didn't peg Errey for a Van Halen fan...)


"Some people say my ties are pretty goofy."


"Colllllllllllllby! [...] He's not just an outdoor player, Steiggy. He can do it indoors as well. Ooooohhhhhhh you gotta love it..."
