Mike Lange, Pittsburgh Penguins’ radio play-by-play man, adjusts his headset before a game at the Mellon Arena on January 3, 2008.

Lange has been using the same headset since 1978: “I like the treble sound. They’ve made some adjustments on them over the years and I hope I never need to replace them.”

Lange, known for his colorful catch phrases, has been associated with the hockey club since 1974 and was awarded the Foster Hewitt award by the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2001.
