Lange and Bourque are back in radio booth; Staal in trouble



Mike Lange agreed to a one-year contract to return as the Penguins' radio play-by-play broadcaster, and he will again team with color analyst Phil Bourque, the team announced today.

Lange is entering his 32nd season doing play-by-play for the team. It will be his second season since he was replaced in the television booth by Paul Steigerwald. Lange received the Foster Hewitt Award from the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2001.

Bourque, who was on both Penguins Stanley Cup championship teams in the early 1990s, enters his fourth season as the team's radio analyst.

The Penguins' radio flagship is WXDX, 105.9-FM.

The Rat's Take: Glad to see Mikey back, to me he is a Pittsburgh icon.

As we all know by know Jordan Staal got into a little bit of trouble at his brother's bachelor party. I really dont see this as that big of a deal and honestly think the news media is making too much of this, the funny part it Jordan is the legal age to drink in Canada, should have just had the party somewhere up there. Oh well, I dont see this as a big deal....and it better not distract Jordan.
