1. So he wanted to stay and Bally wouldn’t pay him because they’ve ran the company into the ground. Absolute fucking joke.

2. NOOOO

3. Someone copy paste the article so we can avoid the paywall.

4. This is the worst

5. F no!

   Business decision I know but can’t help but feel a bit like Panger just kicked us all in the nads!

6. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say, this is the worst thing to happen to the Blues in the history of the franchise.

7. Can we use one of our first round picks to trade for Panger?

8. I’m dead inside.

9. The worst thing we’ve lost this season. Fuck.

10. #FUCK YOU BALLY

11. Fuck the Blackhawks even more now.

12. Worst news in years!

13. Another devastating blow to the Blues 😔

14. This fucking sucks.

15. I’ve been hoping this is just a bad dream and I’ll wake up soon. We don’t know what’s going to happen with PANGO, it just feels wrong for it to disappear but I don’t know if I can handle the idea of Blackhawks fans playing it every game. The one thing I know for sure is that we’ve made 4 different bingo games for various sports, the only one that people actually cared about was PANGO, and I’m very grateful to everyone that played it and had fun with us over the last two seasons.

16. They better be bringing Vitale over from the radio. He’s the only acceptable replacement.

17. I nominate our radio show play-by-play guys to take over calling the games. Those guys are hidden gems.

18. Players come and players go. But there is only one Panger…This truly makes me sad

19. From the bottom of my heart. Fuck you Chicago.

20. Ok that does it. How do we send Bally Sports and Sinclair down the drain and get broadcasting rights to someone that cares about a quality product? All this hard balling TV providers to try to get people to pay a full TV provider rate for just the Bally feed, the bankruptcy, and now losing us our beloved color commentator? Enough is enough. Bally and Sinclair needs to be disbanded, and whoever is cashing out on liquefying the once beautiful product needs to have all their assets frozen.

21. Unholy jumpin.

22. I don’t even wanna be around anymore

23. Is this some sort of sick joke?

24. Remember, iphones… hit the “aA” at the top of the screen to read the full story.

    Edit: Fuck the Hawks

25. Barf

26. Um OK???

    Well I guess we will get an all time great very soon. The last time this happened was Harry leaving for the Cubs and then Jack Buck became St Louis. I get it, it’s two separate sports but seems like a good comparison here.

28. Why the fuck don’t the Blues step in?! Are they really powerless? It’s their broadcast that will suffer.

29. It could’ve been any other team, and I would’ve been like “Welp, that’s business I guess”

    But it had to be the fucking Blackhawks. Especially after they were gifted Bedard after covering up *checks notes* systemic sexual assault in the organization.

    Fuck everything.

30. Blackhawks get Bedard, and now Panger? My hatred for the Blackhawks is back in full force.
