Babying 613 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Anything to get Pierre off of TV.I agree too. I can't see the TV from the shine off his head. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I enjoy Pierre, but I guess I'm in the clear minority there. Link to post Share on other sites

Speed Limit 0 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hate him, think it's absolutely gross whenever I see him on the telecasts over here in the States, just the way he approaches the game and talks about it kills me. Pisses me off, and makes me think he's an idiot. But Canada sees more of him, so I'm betting a lot of guys would want to hang him. I just know the trade day coverage with him made me want to turn it off and vomit. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I am with you...He is entertaining.I liked him a few years ago, but he's really started to annoy me this season, specifically. I'm very sick of him. Link to post Share on other sites
Piddle Duck 0 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 but dont you think he is more knowledgeable than the average american homer broadcaster?Larry Murphy is our homer broadcaster between the glass and he is much more knowledgeable and much better at not sounding like a complete douchebag imo.

Speed Limit 0 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 but dont you think he is more knowledgeable than the average american homer broadcaster?Well it's tough, I don't get to see a whole lot of every American broadcaster but these are the guys I see/hear from the most:Florida guys: Yeah he's better than these, Denis Potvin makes me cringe.Boston: Nah, and I mean Jack Edwards is the absolute epitome of homer broadcaster, but he's very smart about it (astonishingly so) and has the best color guy in America I think (Andy Brickley).Phoenix: See these guys a lot, basically because they're the late games and I like watching Phoenix. Darren Pang is my second favorite color guy, and possibly most liked pure "hockey" guy, he's witty and funny and doesn't dumb down the game, points out things that I don't always see off the bat. San Jose: These guys are gold, they're very good at what they do. (And I think they're award winning?) So don't think Pierre could take these guys.I would say that's like 80% of the games I watch over the season come from these teams. Pierre is knowledgeable, certainly, but so is Milbury and a slew of other guys who seem bitter that the game has passed them by. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Brickley, Remenda, Pang, in no particular order, are the best colour guys, I agree, Speed. Link to post Share on other sites

doox 15 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Pierre ftw.It'll get him off TV, give Panger more time (hopefully), and shuttle him off to the Western Conference on a Wild team that I mercifully won't hear much, if anything, from. Link to post Share on other sites

WestcoastCanuck 0 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I used to hate him, but now I love him. He is really good on the radio as well. He doesn't seem to come off well on NBC. Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 The guy is pretty smart and offers some pretty good insight. It just seems on TV he tries to hard to be "amped up".This is EXACTLY how I feel. Before he got on TV, he was one of my favourites to listen to on the radio. Very well spoken, good information and knew when to use the "I use to coach this guy/that guy" experience tidbits.Now the message is being diluted by the screaming and yelling, and MONSTER crap.
