“One More On The Island” 04/17/24 In their past twelve games, the Penguins won or took it to overtime in all but one - a regulation loss to the elite Boston Bruins on Saturday, 4/13. Sidney Crosby and Alex Nedeljkovic lead the charge on what has been nothing short of a miraculous run down-the-stretch. Sadly for us fans, it wasn’t enough and the team’s midseason struggles have indeed, for the second straight year punched Pittsburgh’s one-way ticket to an early offseason. Jordan shares some particularly bold predictions for the Pens’ Summer transactions, and Jeff puts forth a strong one of his o ..read more

“A Conversation With Paul Steigerwald, Part 1’” 02/17/24 Since the very first episode of Fly Penguins Fly was produced, it’s been a dream to have Paul Steigerwald on the show. If you’re hungry for Jaromir Jagr content, skip ahead to about 26:15 and enjoy Paul’s recounting of the early 90’s and the dawn of the first back-to-back cup runs. We ended up talking for so long, the decision was made to split this one into two distinctly different episodes. Enjoy Part 1 of ‘A Conversation With Paul Steigerwald,’ and Let’s Go Pens. Thank you for listening!! Follow the podcast on Twitter: @penspod Jeff T ..read more

“Desert Trip’” 01/20/24 If you’re in Pittsburgh, you’re braving the cold. We’ve had a lot of snow and the temperatures have recently hovered between six and twenty degrees, Fahrenheit. If you’re north of here, that probably sounds like an attractive deal, compared to the climate towns like Minneapolis and Toronto have been coping with over a similar span. Here’s hoping this healthy hockey - and football - chat, between your co-hosts, Jeff Taylor and Jordan DeFigio brings the “Gezelligheid.” The Penguins are in Vegas tonight, then in Arizona on Monday. Today’s episode catches you up on all the ..read more

“Kaleidoscope of Contagions” 01/04/23 In this, the first Fly Penguins Fly episode of 2024, Jeff and Jordan discuss the many-headed hydra that is Mike Sullivan’s unenviable task: Solving the Ryan Graves issue, while navigating the weird waters of deploying Norris Trophy winning - and currently underperforming - Erik Karlsson. There are other things on your co-hosts’ minds, oh yes. And share with you these items, they shall. Thank you for listening!!

“Like Anything Could Happen To Me’” 12/12/23 Late on Monday morning, the Pittsburgh Penguins took the ice at UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex in Cranberry, PA. Your oh-so-intrepid co-host, Jeff Taylor was on location. In addition to chatting with The Athletic’s Rob Rossi, Jeff of course gathered the sounds of NHL regulars working a struggling power play unit. But it isn’t the professional athletes who are the stars of today’s epsiode… On this installment of Fly Penguins Fly, you’ll meet Meghan Crawford from C.A.R.E.S. of Western PA, as well as young Ethan Domingues, an up and coming goalie from Con ..read more

“Bobble Mule’” 12/06/23 Jordan has identified an individual who, theoretically, could end up being the Mule tasked with collect Jeff’s rightful Sidney Crosby bobblehead. More on this soon. Tonight in Tampa Bay, your Penguins make their second visit to Amelie Arena in less than a week. The Pittsburgh team hopes to recreate some of the winning magic that sent them home victorious last time - though likely WITHOUT the help of a goalie goal, as scored by Tristan Jarry in their previous matchup. This is simply a fun episode, something to enjoy between periods, after the game, or throughout the week ..read more

“Soarin’, Flyin’, Dechievin’” 11/29/23 After a much needed Thanksgiving week break, Jeff and Jordan are back with all the Penguins hockey talk you can shake a leftover turkey leg at. Jordan had herself a hockey road trip over the holiday, attending both the Buffalo road game and the home dub over the Buds. Jeff spent his own vacation getting busted for watching Pens games on his phone, whilst people he loves were trying to speak English to him at the dinner table. Folks, we’re into our third 100-batch. Here’s to making the next 99 episodes memorable! Thank you for listening!! Follow the podcas ..read more

“Grapefruit Sized” 11/14/23 Right after Jeff and Jordan wrapped up today’s podcast, news broke of Matt Petgrave’s arrest in the UK. So, before the ‘regular’ podcast begins, we’re featuring a 17 minute chat between Jeff Taylor and Nick Spagnolo. These former beer league linemates react, in real time to the news of Petgrave’s being taken into custody by the Sheffield Police. It’s our 200th episode. We hope it brings you a little perspective, a little laughter, a little excitement for tonight’s PIT@CBJ matchup. Thank you for listening!!
