Sodboy13 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 The worst part about Steiggy is that he is, really, the Hawk Harrelson of hockey. He makes himself part of the team, and anything that goes against him and his Penguins is clearly a conspiracy by the refs, the league, or those goons on the other team, never mind that "his" team employed Matt Cooke in his prime. He encourages the victimization complex. Paul just needs to start calling the teams "good guys" and "bad guys", and leave the booth for a period when the Pens are down 3, so we can make it official.Anyway, I know I was the only one watching last night, but why is Zac Rinaldo still in the league? Is it because he merely tries to hospitalize opponents, but has yet to succeed?

ninersdd Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I remember watching highlights of the Islanders brawl from 2011, and how Stiegerwald was like "Hey Trevor go back inside your cage!", and going on endless rants about how the Isles were a complete embarrassment to hockey. So Rinaldo is basically Raffi Torres without the serious injuries incurred from the opponents.(Though Torres is a better overall player) BEAR DOWN ARIZONA!2013/14 Tanks Picks Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 There's something disturbingly earnest about Steigerwald's homerism. Jack Edwards is more over the top, but you have to think he knows it; you can't be like "THE IMMORTAL DAVID KREJCI HAS LED THE GLORIOUS BOSTON BRUINS TO A VICTORY THAT WILL BE WRITTEN ABOUT FOR YEEEAAARS TO COME" or whatever he's always on about and not do it with a wink. Pat Foley and Howie Rose are total homers, but they're just as likely to turn around and break bad on their teams, too (though Foley hasn't had the occasion to so often). Steigerwald, as a play-by-play guy, is really kind of boring, during which time he also happens to be 20,000 leagues into the tank for the Pens. Which is fine, whatever, they're not my telecasts, but people don't think this is good, do they? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad about that; I'll never doubt this man again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducks made it a hell of a lot easier for him. Best defensive/shot-blocking effort by the Ducks in a long while. Hopefully this gets the wheels churning in the other direction and they finish out strong against SJ, LA, and Colorado.
