He says everyone is a GTD. I take it with a grain of salt.

Mike Lange, the radio voice of the Pittsburgh Penguins, will miss the start of the Stanley Cup playoffs after suffering an adverse reaction to medication for pneumonia.

The Hall of Fame broadcaster was briefly hospitalized last week and is now resting at home. He will phone in during the first intermission of Game 1 Wednesday to speak on the air with the Penguins' radio intermission host, Brian Metzer.
I think someone here asked about Lange

Meh. I grew up watching Lemieux and company, then had to live through the Rico Fata and Dick Tarnstrom years. I honestly don't think I'd have appreciated these Cup teams as much had I not gone through the years of struggle that were the early/mid 2000s.
Too bad message boards weren't around the year they tanked to get 66.

This is how I feel. Starting someone out with no experience at the very top tier is a disservice to that person and undercuts the exercise as some kind of social accomplishment. It's a really bad look for everyone.
Well said. They put her on the premier nationwide hockey telecast of the week. They set her up to fail. There are several solid female commentators as mikey mentioned, and the difference is they have actually cut their teeth.

The answer is Kathryn Tappen...but I have a weird hunch you'd be more into Martine Gaillard from Sportsnet Central...

Yeah. She's both forward lines, really. Nobody even close.

Don't the Rangers or Islanders have a woman on their coverage?

Are you talking about Deb Placey/Kaufman? If so, please don't...

You'd be better off going back to Jamie Erdahl with NESN back in the day before she went national with CBS (?)...

Andi Petrillo from Hometown Hockey on Sportsnet has her days too...

Deb Placey looks like a worn version of Tina Fey playing Sara Palin. And I don't hold Fey in high regard.
