TSN Experts With Their Picks
by Paul on 10/01/09 at 11:35 AM ET
Comments (3)
from TSN,
According to the hockey experts gathered by the NHL on TSN, the Stanley Cup champion is...tougher to pick than ever. In trying to get a consensus pre-season pick from a panel of 13 experts, seven different teams earned votes. The defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins and the Philadelphia Flyers, however, attracted the most attention, earning three votes each.
“I like the Pittsburgh Penguins,” said Peter Laviolette. “There’s a lot of good teams, very good teams, in the National Hockey League, but the Penguins have the two best players in hockey in (Sidney) Crosby and (Evgeny) Malkin.”
Ray Ferraro picked the Flyers to beat the Vancouver Canucks for the Stanley Cup, and Pierre McGuire agreed.

Overuse Of A Theme Song
by Paul on 02/04/09 at 08:39 AM ET
Comments (5)
from Joe Pelletier of Greatest Hockey Legends,
Is it just me or does the Hockey Night In Canada theme song lost it’s luster now that is on TSN?
They have completely over used the jingle, playing it at every opportunity. And they gave it a terrible accompanying video montage.
Meanwhile CBC has come up with a catchy tune which I think I might actually like better.

Earlier today, Pierre McGuire of NBC and TSN was good enough to share his hockey observations with Paul and myself. We asked him about the upcoming Philadelphia/Pittsburgh game this Sunday at noon EDT on NBC, got some gossip about what goes on “Between the Glass”, and insights into both the Western and Eastern conferences going into the playoffs.
You can download the interview by this mp3 file here, or listen on the player below.

Ice Level Game Call
by Paul on 11/16/07 at 06:46 AM ET
Comments (3)
from William Houston of the Globe and Mail,
TSN will use a new play-by-play configuration for tonight’s Montreal Canadiens-Buffalo Sabres telecast. Chris Cuthbert and Glenn Healy will call the game at ice level, which they’ve done before, but this time Pierre McGuire will provide additional analysis from the broadcast booth as an “eye in the sky.”
TSN’s Mike Milbury called the appointment of Brett Hull, who has no managerial experience, to the position of interim co-general manager of the Dallas Stars “an insult” to all NHL general managers.
