From what I read in GDTs last year, this might be bigger news than landing Bedard for a lot of folks here.

Now do a replacement for Vosters

Now do a replacement for Vosters

The aim is for him to grow and improve

Pang is atrocious. I find him extremely annoying on broadcasts but it is what it is.

 

[Teemu]

Never liked Six-Hole's commentary but at least Cohen is gone

 

[JaegerDice]

Pang is a lateral move from later-day Foley and Edzo. Ugh.

Would it kill the Blackhawks to get a broadcast team on par with LAK or CAR?

 

[Kevin Musto]

Blues fans are f***ing pissed

So I'm happy

 

[WarLax]

Based on the reaction from the Blues sub reddit....

Win for the Hawks I guess?

Woo!

I think it’s closer to 50/50 as far as the actual reaction to him leaving goes, I think it’s more of who he’s going to that has Blues fans riled up lol.

Anyways, he’s going to a team he played for, so I’m sure that was a big draw for him. I feel like he plays it up more for the National broadcasts, so for your regular home games I don’t think he’ll be too bad. You guys could do worse for sure.

holy jump....gross

 

[Chuck Testa]

Holy jumpins why am I not excited about this at all :/

It used to aggravate the hell out of me whenever I would have to watch a Blackhawks game against the Blues while this guy was one of their play by play announcers.

 

[Kurtosis]

I never really watch with the game volume on during the regular season anyway.

 

[clydesdale line]

Not a big Pang fan but he's miles better than Cohen.. but that says more about Cohen than it does Pang.

 

[scorehawks]

Now if they would only get rid of Chris Vosters...he is so terrible. Better suited for minor league ball.

 

[BLKHKhockey]

Vosters is 10x worse than Colby. He needs to just call the damn game and not spew random, uninteresting facts to try and make it seem like he knows his shit. Still can't believe they gave him the job.

 

[Wally1112pac]

I can't stand the "holy jumpin'" line. It's like nails on a chalkboard.

Pang is fine as a color guy if he leaves that phrase out.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

can't we just drop a bag to bring johnny forslund and eddie o here

Give me Gary Thorne.

is pang going to be the guy between the benches?

 

[Putt Pirate]

I think every poster on here has more hockey knowledge to spew than Vosters times a million. Guy is beyond terrible

I mean, let's not get carried away. We have some pretty stupid people, myself included.
