Understandable.

Love Pierre’s insight to the game, but Boucher is much more tolerable

They unofficially did this switch last year.

Now ditch Milbury and replace him with Patrick Sharp.

This may be fall out from how he interacted with Kendall Coyne-Schofield on air too.

(FWIW, Sharks have hired her to work on some broadcasts as color analyst.)

I used to really hate Pierre and view him as nothing more than a Penguins, Canadians, and Hawks hype man and he's definitely quirky but he's been more toned down the last few years and it makes him a better commentator.

Even though I rather have my home announcers, appreciate the passion he has for the game, the insight, and his Pierre-isms and good for him to giving cancer the middle finger.

He'll def still be around.

McGuire was so forced and awkward.
He tried so hard to drum up excitement over nothing plays and it was cringe-y.

Whatever happens you guys can't send him back to Canada. You took him and now he's yours.
