Steve Goldstein Discusses Panthers, Playoffs, and More on The Hockey Show

The latest episode of The Hockey Show was packed with insights as hosts Roy Bellamy and David Dwork welcomed Florida Panthers play-by-play commentator Steve Goldstein. With the Stanley Cup Final drawing near and coaching changes happening across the league, there was much to unpack.

Goldstein, affectionately known as Goldie, has been on the move throughout the playoffs, calling games in each of the first three rounds while crisscrossing the country. He shared his thoughts on the Carolina Hurricanes, who find themselves just one win away from clinching the Stanley Cup, and discussed the challenges faced by the Vegas Golden Knights, particularly regarding injuries and goaltending issues.

In a lighthearted moment, Goldstein addressed his dual loyalties as a Miami Heat fan who can still root for the New York Knicks, showcasing his unique perspective on sports fandom. The conversation also touched on his signature call, “Let’s go home, baby!” Dwork was curious to know if Goldie reserves this phrase solely for Panthers games or if he has used it during playoff broadcasts elsewhere.

The episode also delved into other pressing topics, including the Edmonton Oilers’ pursuit of Mike Babcock, Darnell Nurse’s trade request, and the Los Angeles Kings’ hiring of Peter Laviolette. Additionally, the hosts celebrated Nikita Kucherov’s achievement in winning the Hart Trophy, along with discussions on other award recipients.
