I'm usually not very critical of Steve, except for when he's giving his out of town scoreboard updates (which might even be pushed on him in production meetings from management) and always needing to ''Sort it out'' after the break when there's a penalty.
He's had some really awesome goal calls in OT and I felt he could have had another really good one last night. He sort of hesitated on the Hall goal call too, but that was some confusing signaling from the official. Seemed like he was waving no goal or something. I can't really fault Steve on that one, the official seemed to be confused with it.

I think the one thing that's universally agreed on among NHL fans and commentators, outside of maybe Pens fans is Steggy is by far the worst announcer and TV personality in the whole league. Maybe even counting radio commentators and panel analysts too.
Haha that's the radio PBP, though he used to be the TV PBP guy, until they hired Steggy.
He isn't so bad, but some of his quotes are pretty weird and I'm not sure what they're supposed to mean.
''Let's go hunt moose on a Harley!''
''How much fried chicken can you eat?''
''He didn't know whether to cry or wind his watch!''
I understand the last one, not really the first two though.

There is no broadcast for any sport in the world worse than the pens on root. Everyone on there is awful. The Mark Fraser of broadcasting, but worse.

When I watched part of their game against the Oilers a couple weeks ago, Steggy suggested that the Oilers fans in Edmonton at the game should be chanting "We want Fleury!", as if Fleury has been the best goaltender on their own team or even as good as Talbot this year. Both of which would be false.

They think everyone on the pens is God's gift to the world. After he retires, they will probably have an entire 1 hour special about how Chris Kunitz was snubbed from the HHOF when he should have been in as soon as he retired and had his number retired league wide.

His goal calls are so awful and obnoxious too.
He sounds like some ******* who laughs when an old lady or little kid falls and trips somewhere. He's so obnoxious. It reminds me of some guy who pulls a chair out from under somebody and laughs uncontrollably when they fall and even harder if they hurt themselves.
Just listen to one of his goal calls when the Penguins score. It's like he's screaming and laughing in someone's face.

Funny enough I was watching Sudden Death the other night (I'm a sucker for bad 90's action movies) and I knew Mike Lange was in it, but then I realized Steigerwald was in it too as the color guy.

The worst announcer I've been exposed to on a semi-regular basis is the Albany guy. He's a yelper. Always turn the volume way down when watching A-Devs highlights.
Favorite is Gary Thorne.
