There was some random game NBC was doing several years ago, and Doc was in the media level looking at all the sports pages the Penguins have framed. He looked at me and goes, "It's inevitable ... every headline of a great Penguins story, has a story of a Pirates loss below it."
"Tonight's goal scorer Jordan Staal grew up on a sod farm. Speaking of sod, Tyler Callihan hit two home runs yesterday for the Pirates on the PNC Park sod."
No disrespect to Sean McDonough but I do miss having Doc call this game tonight because he would have already worked in a Pirates reference, probably about Tyler Callihan's two home run game yesterday.
Sources: The Edmtn Oilers are consulting with the NHLPA to see if there are objections that must be resolved before potentially hiring Mike Babcock. Amid allegations of invading players privacy, Babcock resigned in CBJ as Head Coach in 2023. Further investigation may be required.
If you’re looking for true heroes, don’t look at goal totals or batting averages or interceptions. Just look back, in awe and gratitude, at what these soldiers did 82 years ago. We owe a debt that can never be repaid.
GOAL. Mikhail Ilyin gives #WBSPens a 1-0 lead with a PPG with 13:38 left in the 2nd period.
