Pens legendary Broadcaster Mike Lange to miss start of Stanley Cup Playoffs.

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.

“They’ve encouraged me to rest, but I’m looking forward to getting back in the booth with the ‘ol-29er’ Phil Bourque as soon as possible,” Lange said.

Josh Getzoff will handle radio play-by-play duties at the start of the playoffs with Bourque providing analysis. All games air on WXDX-FM (105.9) and the Penguins Radio Network.

Getzoff called radio play-by-play for most of the Penguins’ regular season road games, while Lange did most home games.

Paul Steigerwald will host the pre- and post-game radio shows.

Lange, who recently turned 71, is now in his 44th season as a Penguins broadcaster.

Is There Something Damaging To Trump In Full Mueller Report Or Is It (Again) Just Wishful Thinking For Liberals?

Was President Donald Trump’s victory lap after the conclusion of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation premature?  With Mueller’s report expected to be released in redacted form in the coming days, Trump and his allies have unleashed a series of broadsides against Mueller’s team and the Democrats pushing for full release of the final report. Trump’s inner circle knows there could be further releases of embarrassing or politically damaging information. Attorney General William Barr is defending his decision to send a letter to Congress detailing  Mueller’s principal conclusions. He says the public would not have tolerated waiting weeks for information. Mueller concluded his Russia probe last month and submitted a nearly 400-page confidential report to Barr. Barr sent his four-page letter to Congress two days later. Democrats are questioning how Barr was so quickly able to boil down Mueller’s report into four pages.
