By golly he does
Wait, Pierre McGuire looks like that? That's the gayest thing I've ever seen!
Agreed. He needs to go back to his bread and butter. He should not only resort to his regular hyperbole, but, they should also let him have full control over the graphics department, so that TSN can use the 60's style Batman graphics anytime there's a big hit:

Do you see what you've done to Pierre?
One at least two occasions today, he was about to call a player "special", but stopped himself and said they were "really good" instead.
Something like, "Chicago fans, get excited for Toews, he's a really sp... good player."

He also threw in a "magical."
I think Pierre either reads the message boards or has heard others complain about his eccentricities because he's really calling it differently this year. I for one liked him, but gone are the frequent WHAMMOS, complaints about officiating, diving and nary a mention of broken sticks. He was almost going back to his old ways during the Slovakia game, but when he could have said "That's two minutes for being strong" he just said they know what the calls are like in this tournament and just have to skate to the box and shutup.
I'd like to hear what people who've in the past called him out for having a strong bias during these tourneys think this year. I think he's made a noticeable effort to improve in that area, even if he didn't need to because frankly it's a Canadian broadcast for Canada.

The thing he's doing right now that's making me mad is how he talks about Price. It's no secret he thought Montreal was stupid for taking him 5th overall. Now that he's playing for Canada and dominating, he mixes his praise with comments about how he wasn't performing like this last year. Seems like it's his way of saying he was wrong about Price but not really.
Curious what he thinks of the Setoguchi pick by San Jose......
Anyone remember last year when Kris Russel "went into that corner a boy, and came out a man"?
That's his A material. It's not every day you hear about a boy being deflowered on national television. That's the kind of thing that makes me sit up and say "Hell yeah I'm watching hockey!".
He's definately either been told or realized that he should tone it down. He did manage to slip in a few "Big body presence" references in the Canada-US game. But he missed a few "active stick" opportunities.
