News Article: Darren Pang joins the Blackhawks’ TV booth. Colby Cohen is not returning.

[Mrfenn92]

Ok with it

 

[ColbyChaos]

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?

JDs love for Carolina truly knows no limits

JDs love for Carolina truly knows no limits

Or the Kings for that matter.

 

[All blacks]

Voster is terrible,Hawks deserves better.

 

[dreadpirateroberts]

Alex Faust is no longer the Kings' play-by-play voice, so he's a free agent. Thoughts on picking him up to replace Vosters?

 

[ploppsdman]

Doesn’t move the needle for me - friken give wiedeman the damn tv gig. Vosters is an echl level announcer. I never watch Blackhawk broadcasts bc of his inane prattle.

Shot and a goal!!! F me. More like shot & a beer to listen to him. I was a better announcer while playing nhl 94.

I like Faust. Ironically enough his audition game was the Blackhawks vs Lightning game back in 2017 before the Kings hired him.



He was fighting a cold too that night.

I'm convinced Vosters & Colby are/were strictly PR stunts and the real story won't come out until further down the road.

So Darren Pang ... the ultimate "homer" returns to the proverbial home ...utt is hard to forget all thise honey biased stuff he schticjed for tge Blues alk those years in theirvtc broadcasts ...if you like cheerleading for the team he broadcasts for then you will love the Panter...if you find 1 sided dishonest homer bias nauseating,then you will be vo.itting for 82 games.

Personally I prefer honest criticism of tge home side where warranted and notca total ignoring of the ooos's players tobwhere you just mention them i n a few short contents occasionally.
To sum up...notva fan of Pang given his style of too much over bias for the team he is paid to hype up.

Yes it will be hard for Panger to tone down going bonkers every time Bedard makes a spectacular score hapoen lifting fans out of their seats...but if hexslends 95% of the time commenting only on the Hawks lplayers Bd only 5% commenting on the ipps ...and is uncritocal when they mess up badly,...which witb Connor Barfy and Mr.Minis Jones @$9.5 then you will be looking for the vomit bag.

Pang us the ultimate homer schill...I prefer a more balanced analysis of the play.

 

[coolhand]

Hallelujah! No more Colby! But, we get Pang. At least Pang knows hockey.

 

[Putt Pirate]

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

We have mostly great posters on here . Vosters needs to go back to minor league baseball where spewing nonsense is apparently looked favorably upon.

 

[jaysoneil]

Give me Gary Thorne.

"Off the floor, on the board! Paul Kariya!"

 

[Malaka]

GOD f*** NO

 

[Sarava]

I like Panger. Sounds like I'm one of the few. This just made the Hawks broadcasts a lot better IMO.

 

[featherhawk]

it was only a matter of time before he landed in a position like this with the hawks.

neutral fan of his on broadcasts, that said, I do believe that he will get better at it in Chicago

 

[Chuck Testa]

After some thought I guess he's better than Vosters and Hextall

 

[Northernhawk]

Awesome news! We don’t have to hear about that ‘amazing career’ and ‘experiences’ of CC anymore

Darren Pang excited to spread passion for hockey back with Blackhawks again: Q&A

[Ace Card Bedard]

Love Panger, welcome home.

 

[Malaka]

I just wonder what edzo is thinking

 

[HagelsBagels]

Don't get the Pang hate, because he was with the Blues? I spent some time in St. Louis/Southern Illinois and watched a lot of Blues broadcasts and Pang is really good. Much better than the rotating analysts they had last year.

I wish they dumped Vosters for Alex Faust but I'm willing to give Chris a chance with Pang

 

[Putt Pirate]

I was randomly watching a YouTube of Kane’s greatest playoff goals and there was one where Kane did a wrap around in double OT I think against the Blues. Anyhoo, Kane made an unbelievable play and Pang sounded like a Hawks homer. I think someone like him was needed as they were not very interesting. I will give him some time before totally flaming him.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Pang is a goober but you tolerate them when they're yours.

Shot and a goal would be an improvement. It's shot and a score.
