Very genuinely on the brink of tears right now.

Pittsburgh will miss you, Mike. Elvis has just left the building.

Mr Lange, if you can hear us

Found an old Pens Game Program from January 2020 (last home game I went to before the everything happened) and oh my god I wish I owned a scanner.

There’s a whole article on John Marino. Mike Lange has a little about bio. There’s this SICK FUCKING graphic of all the trophies Sid has won.

I miss the physical programs, they’re so fucking cool. I wish I had kept more of them.

I’m gonna have to figure out how to digitize some of this, even the ads are like, deeply nostalgic (to me).

Dang.

Mike Lange got me through a lot of shifts at Wendy's and a good number of drives home from student teaching...to say nothing of the dozens of times I would just be driving at night for other reasons. Visiting family. Driving the siblings around. Running errands.

There was never a better feeling than hearing "HEEEEEEEE SHOOTS AND SCORES!" it didn't matter if the game was tight and the Pens were taking the lead, if the team was up and we were just grinding the skate down further, or if we were getting blown out with two minutes left and we just scored some meaningless goal...he had a different tone for every version, so it was always a wave of emotional synchronization. Didn't matter what was happening in the game, when Lange called it, you knew someone out there was sharing your emotions.

And that was the BASIC.

The one that has always seared itself into my brain, that I can hear at will, is "OH, LORD STANLEY! ETCH THEIR NAMES ON YOUR FABLED CUP!" 2009, Pittsburgh Penguins triumphing over the Detroit Red Wings. That line echoed for WEEKS, and was replayed for years on the Penguins radio station.

He retired years ago, but now...he's Gone Gone.

It's a mournful night in Pittsburgh.

many thoughts about mike lange and his legacy in pittsburgh making hockey reachable by all over the air. sharing an excitement and passion and love for the game and the city with millions over his many years in the booth. he is how i got into hockey and he is how i heard the game of hockey played even when we were watching on tv (we would mute the tv and put on the radio the few games a year we got the game on one of our few channels). he will be missed but his legacy will be with this team for a long long time
