"Hhhhheeeeeeeeeee Shoots and Scores" should be played traditionally before the game starts, or just after the horns stop after each goal. And I mean blasting. This could be for the Pens just as Renegade is to the Steelers!!
Some of my favorites didn't even have to do with goals, such as:
"They took the heat out of a hot kitchen"—when a team cleared the puck after a flurry of chances, usually on a PK
"He stickhandles into the zone, but he forgot one thing: THE PUCK!"
"He just got hit so hard, his kids will be born dizzy!"
And don't forget his classic sign-ons:
"IIIIIT'S A HOCKEY NIGHT IN PITTSBURGH!"
and
"It's a GREAT DAY FOR HOCKEY!"—for a matinee game. This one was first coined by the late "Badger" Bob Johnson and was eventually adopted by Lange following Badger's untimely death just months after coaching the Penguins to their first ever Stanley Cup.

Someone call Donna get the Cordova running!
Don't you just hate it when your goalie loses his liquor license?
Best part about #10? Watching the Flyers get burned on the play.
Did you know that even the Pittsburgh Pirates have won a World Series since the last time the Flyers won the Stanley Cup?
Classic! Doesn't know wether to cry, or wind his watch! Too good
He’s truly the Voice of the Penguins.

Mike Lange and Mario Lemeiux undoubtedly changed the hockey culture in Pittsburgh
I hate the penguins but Mike Lang was awesome.
