Finally got around to listening to the pod. Oof, Jesus Christ Pierre is a head in the sand ostrich through and through. Bringing up +/- on a team that is actively trying to be bad for several years is head scratching.
His main sticking point is silly. The current roster is more vets than it is kids on both sides of the line up even after the TDL. Burroughs, MEV, Benning, MacDonald, Rutta on D. Couture, Sturm, Hoffman, Granlund, Carpenter up front. Even Lebanc has almost 500 GP. Does he mean GP or age?
I didn't mind Pierre before but the pod really exposed his knuckle dragging opinions and I'd go so far to say he cannot think the sport of hockey at this point. He quotes too many mysterious people which leads me to believe he's most likely hunting for someone else to say something he already agrees with.
The more you dig into him, the worse it looks. His Stanley Cup run in 92....he was there for a year. That team had 6 HoFers on it. He lasted less than a year at his Senators gig as VP dev. coach, a single year as a NHL coach, and a year as an assistant coach.
His own wiki page is damning: "During his six months as Whalers head coach, McGuire coached the team to a 23–37–7 record.[17] McGuire was fired as head coach on May 19, 1994. After the termination, captain Pat Verbeek called it the best thing that could have happened to the Whalers. He said his teammates had no respect for McGuire and that McGuire was mocked by other teams.[18][19] In 1995, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman ruled that McGuire would forfeit half of the remaining salary owed to him by the Whalers for providing confidential coaching evaluations to the Edmonton Oilers. These evaluations had been prepared while he was employed by Hartford."
