Thoughts on the Pens

Hey pens fans,
To reply to a comment on Mike Lange's firing...
I agree with your sentiments entirely. Mike has been a part of hockey in Pittsburgh for such a long time. His trademark phrases made listening to him a part of hockey. Penguins Fans are going to miss him and I know it will never be the same without him. Once, when I was in my early teens, I was fortunate enough to get to meet Mike Lange. He is Penguins hockey and he could not have been a better guy to talk to the fans that that. I hope that he will seriously consider taking the radio position that I have heard he was offered. It would be hard to find, as loyal fans somewhere else. Mike thanks for the memories, but don't leave us yet.

As for the start of the free agency signings, the Pens have been silent. that have not made any offical moves and not only have I not heard a credible rumor, I have not heard a rumor at all involving our pens or any of the players we could loose. I do have to say that I was a bit surprised by the players we did not make qualifying offers to, but after I thought about it for a while it wasn't quite, as much of a shock.

Hopefully, the pens make some moves to build up out roster. I am lloking for us to get a solid defenseman and of course to finally get Malkin out of Russia, but only time will tell.

More as I hear it...
