    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.

        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...

          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.

            Not for the Pens. FSN Pittsburgh hires the TV guys, which is why the Pens immediately offered Lange their radio job.

            Dumb move by FSN. Watching Pens games will not be the same....
