Opening Night for any NHL team is an eventful one.

The Penguins open up the season Thursday night against the Anaheim Ducks at Consol Energy Center. While a new head coach and General Manager dominate the headlines, there has been no change in the broadcast booth.

When people think Penguins, they think Mike Lange. He is known for his famous goal calls and has done it on both the radio and television side for four decades.

With that, I put together a two minute montage of Lange's calls of some of the historic moments in Pittsburgh hockey history. Three different version of the Pens theme song "Boys of Winter" can be heard, too.

Here's that tribute:
