“Million Times The Man” 06/25/24

The Florida Panthers are your 2024 Stanley Cup Champions. What a wild, entertaining series between those two teams. Wait, who was the other team again? That’s not important. What IS important, is that Jeff and Jordan are back with you for some spirited hockey talk, including some Penguins Hockey news. It’s the proper beginning of summer and the Burgh has already been absolutely blasted with a gnarly heat wave to write home about. Let’s talk ICE hockey, and Let’s Go Pens!

“At The Blakuu” 05/02/24

On today’s episode, Jeff and Jordan are joined by longtime listener turned good pal, Blake Vallies ( @theblakuu on X). Blake is a wonderful human being, a lifelong Pens fan, and he truly “knows puck.” Topics of discussion include but are not limited to the Penguins’ extended offseason, scrambled adult cable channels in the early 90’s, and of COURSE, nematodes. Prayer hands emoji, heart hands emoji, hockey goal emoji.

“One More On The Island” 04/17/24

In their past twelve games, the Penguins won or took it to overtime in all but one - a regulation loss to the elite Boston Bruins on Saturday, 4/13. Sidney Crosby and Alex Nedeljkovic lead the charge on what has been nothing short of a miraculous run down-the-stretch. Sadly for us fans, it wasn’t enough and the team’s midseason struggles have indeed, for the second straight year punched Pittsburgh’s one-way ticket to an early offseason. Jordan shares some particularly bold predictions for the Pens’ Summer transactions, and Jeff puts forth a strong one of his own regarding tonight’s matchup with the playoff-bound Isles.

“A Conversation With Paul Steigerwald, Part 1’” 02/17/24

Since the very first episode of Fly Penguins Fly was produced, it’s been a dream to have Paul Steigerwald on the show. If you’re hungry for Jaromir Jagr content, skip ahead to about 26:15 and enjoy Paul’s recounting of the early 90’s and the dawn of the first back-to-back cup runs.

We ended up talking for so long, the decision was made to split this one into two distinctly different episodes. Enjoy Part 1 of ‘A Conversation With Paul Steigerwald,’ and Let’s Go Pens.

“Desert Trip’” 01/20/24

If you’re in Pittsburgh, you’re braving the cold. We’ve had a lot of snow and the temperatures have recently hovered between six and twenty degrees, Fahrenheit. If you’re north of here, that probably sounds like an attractive deal, compared to the climate towns like Minneapolis and Toronto have been coping with over a similar span. Here’s hoping this healthy hockey - and football - chat, between your co-hosts, Jeff Taylor and Jordan DeFigio brings the “Gezelligheid.”

The Penguins are in Vegas tonight, then in Arizona on Monday. Today’s episode catches you up on all the hockey the Pens have played since an impressive 6-5 regulation win on Boston ice, a little more than two weeks ago.

“Kaleidoscope of Contagions” 01/04/23

In this, the first Fly Penguins Fly episode of 2024, Jeff and Jordan discuss the many-headed hydra that is Mike Sullivan’s unenviable task: Solving the Ryan Graves issue, while navigating the weird waters of deploying Norris Trophy winning - and currently underperforming - Erik Karlsson.

There are other things on your co-hosts’ minds, oh yes. And share with you these items, they shall.
