Hall of Famer. Retired number. Statue.

Now I will be the first to admit that Federko had his short comings. But this is shocking. Panger is a former Blackhawk goaltender. 27-35-7 career record in 81 games with a 4.04 goals-against.

So when Panger says, “I don’t think he ever saw that one” or “Mason had no chance,” Panger can relate.

I clearly don’t like him since he’s a goalie but this move is an improvement and hopefully it is a move that gets us one step closer to not listening to Kelly who I’m sure is a real solid dude. Just not my cup of green tea.

Welcome Mr. Pang, I will no longer be speaking to you because of the Cardinal Rule Of Goalies. Speak only when spoken to and you really shouldn’t even say anything any way.

And I suppose I don’t know too much about him other than he was a goalie who was really short.

But why not promote from within and give Kelly Chase a chance in the TV booth?

But I think Bernie could be really good on the ice level. He’s pretty good at noticing some little things on the ice and that’d pretty much be his only role now.

Panger is great! Just makes me all the more excited for this season to start. Now, if we also add a veteran d-man that wears the #56, my heart might not even make it to the start of the season.

Chase is the tough guy who never played for Detoilet, but Bernie signs his name in a very special way… H…O…F… Who gets the elbow room?

we must have the shortest announce tandem in the NHL now, with two midgets calling the plays on tv.
my only beef really with Pang is that constant creepy grinning stare he does…

I was like..lolwut.

when he starts his whole thank you thank you thing and turned and shot him with a .45 cal hand gun, probably a xmd.

I was stunned, but I like it. I’d prefer Chicken Parm, but I like it. An upgrade over Bernie, although Panger’s unbridled enthusiasm is sometimes a little over the top. Pang’s insights are solid. (I echo Answer Man about the shame he’s a goalie, though. Crazy bastards.)

I love that he mentioned the Hrkac 4 goals on him in the P-D article. I know he’s mentioned every single goal scored against him at one point or another, but to me that night defined Panger and Hawks goaltending. (Oh hi, Greg Millen, things not as grand anymore? Thanks for fetching Jeff Brown … enjoy Keenan.) Sadly, it did not define Hrkac.

I can agree with it. This also removes Dan McLaughlin from anything to do with Blues broadcasts, as it appears to me . . . and as most fellow Cardinals fans can agree to . . . THAT is improvement upon itself.

Anyway, this would – in my book – be about the second-best thing that could’ve happened in the broadcast booths in this offseason beyond swapping TV and radio crews. I give it one thumb up, the other thumb . . . telling McLaughlin to go fuck himself in its’ own special way.

I would have brought back Joe Micheletti.

As far as hockey color analyst go, he is one of the best. The next best thing is Kelly Chase. He’s getting better and better…

I cannot deal with another “Thank you!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!” call after the blues score a goal. While “Oh Baby!!” was way overused I think most people actually like it.
