I remember steigy as a color guy and he was fine there. I grew up with him on the radio..... I don't know what happened with Lange but moving steigy to play by play was absurd and he sucked at it. He was a color guy doing play by play, often losing himself in a long story and missing much of the game... he was a pens guy for at least 30 years now and it showed.. way too much of a homer... his personal defense of guys got irrational near the end... everyone always said he was dead set on the pens play by play and thats a shame cause it likely cost is all a decade of lange on TV
I hope Steve Mears does as good a job as Steigerwald did. The new guy isn't always better.
I'm in the vast minority here I know, but I'm gonna miss Steigy. There are few things I love more than hilariously bad commentary and I think we can all agree him and Bob had a special chemistry in that regard.
Keep away from Hobey Baker jokes and he will already be ahead of the game.
Never thought this day would come. A little scared to know what he'll be doing in the front office though, hopefully it's nothing significant.
And you were worried about me being the GM after JR?
The hobey baker joke was the best thing steiggy ever did. The guy died like 80 years ago.... it was actually a witty joke.
Other than that he was terrible. I'm pretty sure he was doing inappropriate things to himself when murray got hurt and he was talking about fleury.

Bob Errey has to be next. Please! Put in Colby Armstrong. At least he's funny.
Errey needs to stay put, I like him. I cannot fathom life without pickle stabbings.please god no, his voice is awful, I already don't listen to pregame radio now because of him.
In all seriousness I hope this is for the right reasons (looking to move on to a better suited PxP talent)... and not anything health related.
Last season I watched only about a half dozen local broadcasts - games like Buffalo and Tampa because I wasn't a fan of his... but I'd never wish any ill-will towards anyone on my side of the fence/battle. The dude lives and breathes Pens hockey no questions asked.
Errey needs to stay put, I like him. I cannot fathom life without pickle stabbings.
