It's A Hockey Night In Pittsburgh....

News broke yesterday that Mike Lange has accepted the radio play by play job that the Penguins had offered. This is great news for the fans of Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Many fans in Pittsburgh were outraged about the firing of Lange from FSN Pittsburgh and the Penguins immediately stepped up and offered Lange the radio job. Lange has been the voice of the Penguins for 30 years and would have been sorely missed. The deal is for one year at which point he will make a decision on his future. Lange considered several other job offers, including one with the Chicago Black Hawks. Former Penguins color man and coach, Ed Olczyk, accepted a job with the Hawks and was pushing hard to get his former partner to head to the Windy City. In the end, Lange decided to stay with the team that he has been so much a part of.

This is as happy an ending anyone could have hoped for. Let's hope that Lange continues past this season. Welcome back Mike....Let's smoke em like a bad cigar!!!
