Mike Lange fired!!
Quite possibly the most recognizable hockey announcer in the NHL (and Hall of Famer) Mike Lange was fired by FSN Pittsburgh the other day. "Well I'll be cow-kicked!"
Guess I'm not going to be watching many games with the sound up this year.

Re: Mike Lange fired!!
What Exactly did he get fired for?..and why do it now?..FSN trying to bury Pens?..I know its not the franchise decision, but not the type of PR you want when trying to get a new Arena...Hope he takes that Radio Deal or pens games won't have the feel...Comment

Re: Mike Lange fired!!
I know this is a fact for baseball teams and the maple leafs so I assume it's true of the Pens. The team actually hires the commentators and they are employed by the team even tho they're employed by the network their main priority is the franchise they work for.Originally posted by DirrtySouth78What Exactly did he get fired for?..and why do it now?..FSN trying to bury Pens?..I know its not the franchise decision, but not the type of PR you want when trying to get a new Arena...Hope he takes that Radio Deal or pens games won't have the feel...Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Not for the Pens. FSN Pittsburgh hires the TV guys, which is why the Pens immediately offered Lange their radio job.Originally posted by SPTOI know this is a fact for baseball teams and the maple leafs so I assume it's true of the Pens.

Dumb move by FSN. Watching Pens games will not be the same....MLB: Pittsburgh Pirates, Colorado Rockies
NFL: Pittsburgh Steelers
NHL: Pittsburgh Penguins
NBA: Denver Nuggets, Orlando Magic
NCAA: Penn State Nittany Lions, Boston College EaglesComment
