I have a feeling that that team of studio analysts is going to be absolutely insufferable.

Biz was always going to outgrow the Coyotes. Glad it happened before anything soured. Now we can be sure to count on his advocacy forever.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

Happy for Biz. He’s got a brand to grow, and national tv will grow that more than a radio gig with the coyotes ever could. Still holding out hope he can replace Nash one day though

 

[awfulwaffle]

Good move for him, and for the league in general. Inside the NBA is the gold standard for studio shows, and what they have is jokes and laughter. Bissonnette can help bring that to the NHL side. We'll see how they all work together.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Loaded with former Coyotes. Bullish?

 

[Jagged Ice]

Inevitable. Good for Biz.

Berman should take note when he loads up the lotto balls.

 

[RABBIT]

He stays!

 

[LittlePipes]

Glad he will still be doing Coyotes gig. He’s about the only part of the entire broadcast that isnt way below average imho.

 

[Kai Yo T]

I'm glad he's moving up in the world. Also that we haven't completely lost him...yet.

F Darren Pang, he is a kiss ass, instant channel changer for me.

How and why and when did the hockey world collectively decide that color commentators had to be obnoxious clowns, with insufferable doofus schticks? And can we change that? Can we hold a vote?

I remember watching D-Backs games where Matt Williams did color. I was blown away with how insightful and educational it was. And he never once sounded like a brain-dead morning drive radio jockey. He provided simple, no nonsense, insightful expertise. There’s none of that in hockey.

Charlie Simmer was pretty straight-laced but Doug McLoed was a complete clown. So that was a bit of an inverse situation. I was just a kid, so I liked McLoed. As an adult, I definitely don't.

My all-time favorite hockey PBP guy is Dave Strader(RIP). My all-time favorite color guy is Bill Clement. I think those two would be the GOAT broadcast tandem for hockey, if that would have ever happened (I don't think it did).

Dude, you got me. I have no idea. Almost every single one is an obnoxious, annoying prick. I can’t stand Tyson Nash or Darren Pang. He thinks everyone likes that holy jumpin shit, not this guy.

I can’t wait for this kind of bullshit to be over and done with. It’s so transparent. By now we all have to see what feckless p***yes like this are all about right? Can we stop pretending soon?

 

[Jamieh]

How does this effect his Spittin Chicklets I wonder? Can't see a big network or Uncle Gary wanting his major partner associated with it.

That isn't journalism. It's hate mail.

Color guys are like 5 year olds telling jokes. If you giggle once you are going to hear that same joke forever.

Didnt Biz and Spitten Chicklets revolutionize hockey podcast coverage? This is cancel culture once again trying to kill someone who isn’t politically correct. Of course the only reason he’s interesting is because he isn’t politically correct.

I loved Jerry Cheevers when he was with the Whalers. Definitely had the creds and being an ex-goalie from a division rival, had unigue insight and perception.
I still think Keith Yandle would be a great color man, but then again, pretty much anybody would be better than Nash ...

Didn't even know TNT was doing hockey this year...I thought it was ESPN?
