Number one bullshit gone!

 

[Adam Michaels]

Don't celebrate yet. While McGuire is not part of the ESPN crew that was announced not long ago, there is still the TNT side of this US Deal that has yet to announce their crew. So you never know if he shows up there or not.

Someone is salty, for sure (by someone, I mean the author of that article)

This, this, this.

I kind of feel bad for Sam.

I disagree, I have heard that he's rude and its no coincidence that players he coached have consistently ripped him. He's definitely knowledgeable and passionate about hockey, but not always in a good way. A lot of times he comes off as arrogant when he names off where every player played junior or college hockey. I never like to see anyone lose their job, but I won't miss Pierre much.

Hating McGuire is a meme at this point. I suspect the writer of the article is a douche.

This is the first sentence of his Amazon write-up for his book:

The fall and rise of the Chicago Blackhawks, is the most dramatic in North American sports.

I am sure it is very well-written.

The author should be careful about their rejoicing, Pierre probably knows their address, mother's maiden name, first pet, name of their favorite teacher etc.

I really hope ESPN or Turner hires him, that would be epic.

 

[didimentionlarseller]

keep him off TSN690 and then I’ll be impressed

I'm surprised they didn't write The fall and rise of the Chicago Hockey Team is legit the most literally dramatic in North American sports.

Nice? Obviously you've never interacted with him.

Pretty much everyone has cited him as a self centered prick.

I love Pierre, he’s hilarious.

 

[Hivemind]

For a long time I viewed Pierre as creepy but ultimately harmless. Then he was a totally patronizing ass to Kendall Coyne Schofield, and I was pretty much done with him. I figure most major broadcasters will be at this point to. He’ll stay around the periphery as a part-time draft analyst or something.

I really hope ESPN or Turner hires him, that would be epic.

ESPN already announced their crew.

Watch sportsnet or TNT hirer him

yes, i’ve heard stories about what a dickface he was 25 years ago. what were you like 25 years ago?

i get what you’re saying about the arrogance, i think that’s more him constantly trying to prove his worth to everybody for whatever insecure reasons he has. annoying? sure, but i’ve never seen him do anything that justifies the hate he gets. it’s way over the top.

 

[Kranix]

He will be sitting next to Wayne every game

Who knows they may want to "spice things up

In before the thinly veiled homophobic comments...

Meanwhile the writer is likely a nobody seeking attention, dreaming of having the relevance and legacy Pierre has.

One of the few NBC personalities who added anything to the broadcast. Was unbiased unlike the majority. Passionate. A bit odd no debate but for all the fans who applaud the rare exhibit of personality in players you might think they'd love Pierre.

Fenway posted he might be coming to NESN and MSG next, which makes those of us fans quite fortunate.

 

[Ozz]

I hope he joins ESPN or TBS/TNT/whichever it is just so everyone has a coronary.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Classless and ignorant just like his take on the series.
