Even with the gimmicky sayings he did, Lange was a very good broadcaster. There was a time he simulcasted the radio and TV so even on the TV broadcasts you got the full details he went into. Also it meant less talking from Steigerwald which was a HUGE bonus.

As for that Bluejacket commentator ONLY if you take Bob Errey in return.

Mike Lange's favorite goal call, how 'Lange-isms' started and which was the first

Even at Heinz Field during Pittsburgh Steelers training camp, the buzz was all about Mike Lange’s retirement. After 46 years broadcasting Pittsburgh’s NHL team, the Penguins announced Monday that Lange would be stepping down from the broadcast booth before the 2021-22 season. Roughly 30 minutes...

If you didn't like it then you have to blame Bill King.

Lange — a native of Sacramento, Calif. — said during that interview that he got the idea to use catchphrases from Bill King, who used to call games for the San Francisco/Golden State Warriors, the Oakland A’s and the Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders.

Hey Pixburghers - What precisely is a "Pittsburgh Cultural District" and what is there to do there? I am coming to a seminar in September and will only have a few hours each of the 3 nights to look around. What good stuff to eat is there? And don't say french fries on sammiches or I will mock you in private.

Is it just endless 70's themed baseball bars playing terrible disco music? Is it maybe Terry Bradshaw strip clubs? Small, hole in the wall escape room places where you have to avoid Crosby hitting you in the nuts? Can I get my hair cut like Troy Polamalu?

How far is it to someplace cool from down there?

Actually, there is a lot of theaters and good things to do: Cultural District. The old strip clubs/areas really was changed over in the last decade.

With that said I by no means are good at recommending places to eat but you can always go for fries on a ...... <just kidding>.

As far as restaurants, there are plenty of choices on Penn Ave. behind the convention center, though I've never been to any of them so I can't vouch:

The last day they let out at 1:00, so I can wander over to the Warhol Museum. That sounds good. And I will have my car. Not much point in flying from here to there.

Yeah if you go over to the Warhol (always a good visit) and looking for a casual place to eat just two blocks over near PNC is Mikes Beer Bar. Great food and if you are willing to splurge the filet and scallops were good when I had them.

^ Let me add, since I recommended a place I just ruined it.

One item of note if you are there with anyone, and they want to go to Station Square (why they would no clue?) but it is just the standard chain crap restaurants.

Also, what is the best pizza place in the area I am going to be staying in?

Why wait until now?

"This is not a new injury for Sid. It is something that he has played through for years," said Penguins general manager Ron Hextall. "After exhausting all minimally-invasive options and much discussion, it was decided that surgery was in his best interest."

You had all offseason.

Also, what is the best pizza place in the area I am going to be staying in?

I normally don't get Pizza in the city and really Squirrel Hill isn't that close to go to Mineo's.

Never been here: Iron Born Pizza | Millvale and the Strip District but some others said it was good.

Is Mineos worth a trip? Like I said I will have my car and wouldn't mind an evening trip for a good pie.

Eh not really sure. It is good but not worth finding parking and dealing with Squirrel Hill.
I would have said Vinny's Vincent's Pizza Park · 998 Ardmore Blvd, Pittsburgh, PA 15221 if this was years ago but really not the same as it was. But still very good pizza and could be worth the drive.

videos on the place.
