“Just Get In” with Josh Getzoff NSH@PIT 03/30/23

We’re THRILLED to be joined by the voice of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Josh Getzoff. The Penguins take on the Predators tonight at PPG Paints Arena, and as far as the 2022-23 regular season goes, no two points have ever been bigger for the Pens.

“Ca-SEY! Ca-SEY!” PIT@DET 03/28/23

Goodness, Gracious. What a monumental victory on Saturday night, over the Washington Capitals at home in Pittsburgh. What appeared to be just another “blown lead in the third period,” was, in fact, a story destined to end a bit differently than those which Pens fans have become accustomed to having read to them before bed. Casey DeSmith was responsible for some downright mind-blowing saves in this one, and the crowd let him know it. A great result, on a night of great consequence for Allegheny County’s NHL Franchise. The Penguins are back in action tonight, at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan. The Redwings have a knack for playing spoiler this time of year, so in the words of Jurassic Park’s chief tech officer, Ray Arnold, “Hold onto your butts.”

“All Three Goalies” WSH@PIT 03/25/23

Tristan Jarry skated with the Penguins this morning at PPG Paints Arena. All that means is, Jars is a possible backup for Casey DeSmith tonight, as the Pens take on the Caps for the final time this regular season. Other things we know for certain about Tristan Jarry: 1.) He is chronically injured 2.) He’s not to be relied upon down the stretch 3.) He’ll occasionally play his a%% off when healthy. Otherwise, tonight’s about one thing: Sid, Geno, and Letang v. Ovi & The Caps. Listeners, CHERISH tonight’s spectacle. The three aforementioned Pittsburgh players are giving you their all this season, and win-or-lose tonight, the matchup is bound to be one for the books.

“Live At The Coal Mine: ‘Mile High Magic’ with The Athletic’s Josh Yohe”

Oh, what a night. Joined by friend of the show, The Athletic’s Josh Yohe, we gathered on Wednesday evening with a lovely group of listeners and fans to stage the first ever LIVE episode of Fly Penguins Fly Game-Day Podcast! Together, we reacted in real time to what we’d just seen transpire on the ice in Colorado, creating a one-of-a-kind postgame show for you all. The conversation included some unforgettable behind-the-scenes stories from Josh Yohe’s many years working up-close with the Pittsburgh Penguins. There’s a Mike Sullivan story in here that you DON’T want to miss, plus Jordan and Jeff listen back to Josh Getzoff’s iconic call from last night’s heart-stopping backhander from Captain Sidney Crosby. Hope you all enjoy this barnburner of an episode. … Another big game tonight, as the Pens make their way from Denver, straight down to Dallas for the second half of a grueling back-to-back!

“People Are The Crux Of It” PIT@COL 03/22/23

Plenty of pro hockey talk for you today, but not just the parts of the game you’re used to hearing us discuss. There are times when off-ice stuff creeps into the zeitgeist, at a level where it infiltrates the ongoing conversations around fanbases outside the market of a story’s geographical origins. Jeff and Jordan delve into the situation in San Jose late last week, James Reimer’s open letter to the NHL and its fans, and the way it was all handled by the Sharks. The Pens are in Denver tonight, taking on the reigning Stanley Cup Champions, the Colorado Avalanche. To say there are big points on the line this evening would be a gross understatement.

“Bum-Whoopin” OTT@PIT 03-20-23

Igor Shesterkin stood on his head Saturday night, yes he did. But that doesn’t explain the final score at MSG on March 18th, which was a 6-0 shutout by the Rangers over the Pittsburgh Penguins. In fact, the Penguins had a significant edge in high-danger chances and XGs. But some bad bounces, a great performance from a very good net minder in Shesterkin, and a handful of non-calls by the officials on duty, were the real culprits that lead to the final tally. Now, with Marcus Pettersson placed on the LTIR retroactive to Saturday night, PIT’s decimated D-corps - already short Jeff Petry, Dmitry Kulikov, and Jan Rutta - will strain to defend the Penguin blue line. How those defensemen fare, both tonight and in the coming games, will decide whether the Penguins teeter or totter, precariously balanced as they are on the brink. The stakes: Succeed and secure a 17th consecutive opportunity to compete for Lord Stanley’s coveted Cup. Crack under the pressure of a depleted roster, and scrappy teams like the Isles and Panthers will gladly leave you in their rear view mirrors.

“Tick, Tock” PIT@NYR 03/18/23

A diner just needs to be ‘fine.’ The Tick Tock Diner, an NYC institution that may, in some ways, be the only proper diner in all of Manhattan, will take care of you if you’re hungry. It also just so happens to be across the street from Madison Square Garden, the site of tonight’s fourth-and-final regular season matchup between your Pittsburgh Penguins and the Rangers of New York City. Brian Dumoulin and Jeff Carter continue to dress for the Pens, something that will not change anytime soon, barring injury or a force majeure event of some kind. And those two guys… well, they’re dragging the team #down as much as the core three of Crosby/Malkin/Letang are dragging the team #along. That said, Jeff and Jordan will hope for the best but be emotionally prepared for …anything.

Why can't the Penguins hold onto a lead? Which Tristan Jarry will we see between the pipes tonight? Why does Jordan Binnington have to bring dishonor to his first name? Jeff and Jordan talk about all that and more on today's leadup episode to the Pens' matchup against the Rangers at MSG tonight.

JEFF TAYLOR + JORDAN DEFIGIO

Much like Phyllis Lapin-Vance's last minute push to win the national sport of Icelandic paper companies, the Penguins pulled off an overtime victory against the New York Rangers on Sunday. Jordan has no idea what happened on the equalizing goal, so Jeff steps in to clear the air. They talk about that, The Office, and much more on today's episode.
