Pittsburgh Penguins Fandom ft. Anthony Jardine 06/02/25

Woven into this full-length conversation with lifelong Penguins fan Anthony Jardine are the recognizable sounds of the Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby eras of Pittsburgh hockey.

We revisit our 2023 chat with 2x Stanley Cup Champion Jay Caufield, as the former NHL enforcer and current Penguins broadcaster reminisces about his successful re-training of Lemieux for the legend’s 2000 NHL comeback.

At the 24:20 mark, listeners can close their eyes for just a few seconds and be transported back to “The Igloo” itself, as producer Jeff Taylor digs up and strings together the sounds of Pittsburgh Penguins hockey at the old Civic Arena.
