mike lange

Mike Lange has been the lead play-by-play announcer for the Pittsburgh Penguins hockey radio and television network since 1975. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2001. Like fellow Pittsburgh sports announcers, Steelers announcer Myron Cope and the late Pirates announcer Bob Prince, Lange uses a repertoire of distinctive colorful expressions, sometimes called "Lange-isms" by his fans. A complete listing is available here. While some are familiar phrases from pop culture, most are cryptic expressions of Lange's making. Among them are:

"I'll be cow-kicked!

"Oh no, Eddie Spaghetti!"

"Scratch my back with a hacksaw!"

"Look out Loretta!"

"Buy Sam a drink and get his dog one too!"

"He doesn't know whether to cry or wind his watch"

"Michael, Michael, Motorcycle"

"Get in the fast lane Grandma, the bingo game's about to roll!"

Lange, Mike
