I am unbelievably sad about this. He was a legend.

he really was a legend...there are very few of his type left with announcers. too many are like our replacement dude or the verizon center guy (only other i can think of right now)...sounds more like a monster truck rally than a hockey game. i'm really most sad that he never got to call a cup. man...jeff jimmerson, if you go, there could be all out bridge jumping.

gosh darn it! steiggy killed me with that line in the opening. "Maybe when the Penguins move into a new building in 2009 (10 there steiggy...) he'll still be doin' the job! Lets hope so!"
