So... he’s making sense?

He's always sucked but he's usually insulated by worse people(Millbury, McGuire) when he's on Nbcsn, less insulation now do how much he sucks is being brought to the forefront

Pierre is far better than Boucher. Pierre is quite good, he simply annoys certain fans.

Jones is decent, nothing more.

You could, I don't know, provide some examples so that people have something to react to.

After more than 20 years in entertainment broadcasting these threads only reenforce the idea that you cant make everyone happy. Everybody sucks to somebody. People hated Doc. People hate Edzo. They really hate Pierre. I am sure there were people that hated Vin Scully. Next?

I thought it was funny the other day when they played that clip where the Dallas player muffed the open net and Edmonton came down and scored. Jones said he was watching that game on the couch and the girl said it’s amazing you remember where you were in 97 and Jones said I was on the couch a lot in 97

 

[Evergreen]

I like Keith Jones.

 

[AhoLottaLove]

Keith Jones keeps it real not like these other muppets

 

[ItsFineImFine]

Find an album, listen to it, watch on delay, skip all intermissions.

Only way to stay sane if you watch an NBC broadcast.

 

[Dynamite Time]

I just kill the volume and call the game myself... probably worse than Jones to be honest though.

 

[HanSolo]

I don't mind Jones that much. Sometimes I feel he has a very reductive and short minded view on things going on in games at times but it never rose to the level of "dude what the f*** are you even talking about right now" that I'd get almost every night from Millbury.

Pierre was just creepy, "And you've got a long shaft for a reporter" like what...He would just talk about every plays junior team, which is cool info and all but dude there is a game on in front of you, discuss that and not what he did when he was 16

American national hockey broadcast are Micky mouse outside of Doc and Garry thorn.

Nah. There are legit A level American NHL broadcasters. Just 2 below that are good or better than any Canadian pbp guy.

 

[A1LeafNation]

All media is pretty annoying except to the audience who only has a basic understanding of hockey.

They recycle the same non important garbage all the time.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

I don't like Jones, but he's a brilliant professional compared to Milbury, Roenick, etc.

I’ll give you the first. But the second is Chicago’s home announcer. There are many good examples of single market play by play guys

Boucher is much better than Pierre. Pierre is a straight fanboy for certain teams so it makes sense he annoys "certain fans" aka, every team playing the penguins that day. Pierre is incapable of showing objectively, whereas both Boucher and Jones are at times hated by Flyers fans (especially Jonesy) for some of the stuff he says, almost over compensation to not sound bias.

Imagine if he and Cassie Campbell had a baby and that baby grew up to be a NHL color commentator?

How bad would that baby suck?
