OSP with Mark Maradei and the Barbershop Crew: Talking Hockey with Pittsburgh Penguins Long Time Media guy Bob Grove

The Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei

Our guest this week on the OSP has been part of the Pittsburgh Penguins media for many years and will be sharing his insight on the last, present and future of the organization from his perspective. Bob Grove covered the Penguins for 17 seasons at the Washington (PA) Observer-Reporter and 14 seasons at the Pittsburgh Sports Report. He spent 16 on the Penguins Radio Network, and he wrote Pittsburgh Penguins: The Official History of the First 30 Years (Taylor Publishing 1997) and contributed to the second edition of Total Hockey, The Official Encyclopedia of the National Hockey League (2000).

1. Where did it all begin for you? What made you want to be part of the Penguin media.

2. Let’s dig into the history. First cup, what was the vibe like with the team. Did they know they were destined? Did you get to hold the cup? (sizz)

3. You had to have been around for many of Mario’s health struggles. Describe what drove him to always come back and make a difference. (shene)

4. The coach(es) that made your job hard. Explain (mark)

5. Favorite player to interview. Favorite interview.(sizz)

6. Fast forward to the Sidney Crosby era. How has it been different since he joined. (shene)

7. People always think they know players if they are diehard fans but can you share something about Sid that most do not know. (mark)

8. Why the stall with Sid’s contract. (sizz)

9. Talk Geno off the ice. He seems to struggle with english but seems to prevail himself as a fun guy. Are we potentially seeing the last year of him? (shene)

10. Thoughts on the recent moves Kyle Dubas has made (free agency, trades, front office) Karrlson rebound to his final year as a Shark to produce more. (sizz)

11. What can we expect from the 24-25 Penguins. Will it be a return to the playoffs after 2 years missing or are they just too old. (mark)
