This will be another interesting one.
Pierre McGuire is an analyst for TSN and an inside-the-glass reporter for NBC. He was an assistant coach in Pittsburgh, Ottawa and Hartford and was the head coach of the Whalers for a little more than 60 games in the early 90’s.
So, what do you all think of what Pierre McGuire is doing?
I cringe everytime I see this man on TV. Milbury’s left thumb has more hockey knowledge than all of Pierre’s shiny, polished head. I feel like making a charity for the backup goalies that have to talk to him all game.
I will give him credit though, I have never seen a more avid fan of the Big Body Presence.
Posted by 41 Long Ones from Edmonton on 05/15 at 12:16 PMThe only guy on Vs. worth a spit is Jones. And that’s mostly cuz he wrote a good book and all his jokes don’t suck.
Pierre is an expert on suck.
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/15 at 12:54 PMIf I didn’t have to listen to him and his Monster crap, it’d be fine.
Give him a newspaper job… maybe he should replaced Damien Cox.
Posted by Karina on 05/15 at 01:20 PMThe A2Y 19 didn’t re-christen him the DC for nothing. Pierre is terrible. In his tiny pea brain every less than perfect shift shows a systemic weakness, every bad period a lost game, every lost game a total loss of a season. You’d think with his “vast” hockey knowledge he’d understand that hockey is a game of ebb and flow; up and down. It’s the mastery of those minor changes over an entire season, playoffs, etc that makes a team.
His analysis is unoriginal and shows a lazy streak a mile wide. His interview questions would make a 14 yr old proud, but are not up to the caliber we should expect from a professional -he’s not alone in this department, almost all on bench interviews are a waste of time.
He’s a waste, and whenever he’s on TV I mute the game and listen on the radio.
Posted by wingsfanindenver from 'lancheland on 05/15 at 01:24 PMMcGuire loves hockey and knows his stuff like few other analysts. That he’s annoying, hysterical and hyperbolic doesn’t change that.
Posted by Steve from Pittsburgh on 05/15 at 01:32 PMOthers have thier favorite, but for me, he is the Turd Fondler!
I do not need a midget telling me what’s going down on the bench and on the ice. Especially talking down to the viewer. And he dislikes the Red Wings. May a puck strike him between the eyes.
Come on! He’s better than Mike Mudbury! Milbury was actually the GM of the Islanders for their most recent decade of futility. Now that’s bad!!!
Posted by kevin from Beantown on 05/15 at 01:52 PMAnd really...what’s up with Peirre’s fetish with Crosby’s legs? Does he fondle a cardboard cut-out of them at night?
Posted by 41 Long Ones from Edmonton on 05/15 at 03:13 PMThere are a bunch of reasons why this guy cannot get a job in hockey. Just listen to him and you’ll understand why no club wants him contaminating their franchise. Douche.

The Douche Canoe is the subject here. Milbury will have his turn in due time I’m sure.
