If Pierre mentions Toews, Price, or Crosby during a game they aren't playing in, take a drink. If he says "long or big stick", "big body presence", or "team x fans, get excited", take 2 drinks. If he interrupts the play by play team to complain about too many men, take 3 drinks. Make sure someone is around to call an ambulance
I harken back to I think it was last years trade deadline, where Pierre dropped the most random fact about a player, and Ray Ferraro just dead looks him in the eye and says "why do know that"
@@grzegorzbrzeczyszczykiewic34 something about the guy who got traded, that his dad went to college with one of the executives that worked for the team. Just something ridiculous that had nothing to do with hockey. Pierre tends to be the walking encyclopedia of useless facts
@@TheStunscsa There is something being implied here right? Or else why would he mention it? Oh wait! It's McGuire so he's just trying to make himself look smart. Facepalm
Darren: ”Hal Gill is a defenceman with a long stick.” Pierre McSexoffender: ”You’re an announcer with a long stick from time to time...” Never forget the most traumatic childhood memory of my life
I was mostly neutral on Pierre for the most part, until that one time when Ovechkin and Crosby were yelling at each other from their benches, with Pierre literally in the middle. Pierre went out of his way to COMMENTATE ABOUT THE GREATEST CONVERSATION IN HOCKEY HISTORY as it was happening, and I'll never forgive him for that. Sometimes the best thing a commentator can do is just shut up
While i agree with you completely. It isn’t like we would of been able to hear what they were saying because they shut down microphones if even the slightest NSW language used.
To be honest, I think it was really professional. By talking over it, we have the moment. If he was quiet, the broadcast would have cut away or cut mics cos of the language. I’d put money down that he heard some language or knew it was coming and just kept talking to keep the show going. Kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation. Plus when they retire, we’ll find out.
14:59 This is why Pierre drives me insane. "Oh so-and-so played his highschool hockey at Mother Mary's..." I. DON'T. CARE. It's not pertinent to the game.
The guy loves the game, loves the details, loves the players and his genuine excitement makes for some awkward moments. But he has endeared himself to me over the years, especially with his dedication to Ottawa radio.
As a caps fan, I really cannot stand Pierre Penguins McGuire. You can hear the butthurt in his commentary when it is clear the Pens are going to lose a playoff game.
Zazzaro703 his coverage of the Caps Canes has been terrible. There was one stretch in Game 4 where he complimented the Canes 15 times in 8 minutes without talking about a Cap until he broke it by complimenting Holtby for stopping the unstoppable canes.
I honestly had absolutely no idea about his past or the article / situation referred to in this video, but I have always felt that across all US sports -- NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, and also comparing with European football as telecast in many multiple countries (all of which I've followed actively over the years) -- Netherlands and France telecasts in particular -- and even compared to, say, the pro tennis tour or the Tour de France or Olympics (all of which I follow) -- that the national broadcast in the USA of hockey is the least professional and most biased I've ever, ever seen. The commentary is nothing short of ridiculous when the Penguins play any rival team -- Rangers, Capitals, Flyers etc. Criticism that makes no sense is levied against their opponents and literally every single play is interpreted from the Penguins' vantage point, good or bad (and it's "good" 90% of the time). It's just ridiculous. I actually like the Penguins but I still have to watch NBC nationally broadcast hockey games featuring them on mute. Otherwise I just get annoyed and stop enjoying the hockey. I do not do this for any other telecast of any other sport. I am an avid consumer of sports too. Just one man's opinion.
He's actually a lot more reserved and credible when he does his rounds on TSN radio. I listen to a lot of TSN 690 Montreal, and he and Mitch Melnick have a long working history together and get along great. Although, one time on radio somebody asked him if he ever had to deal with any players with alcohol trouble and he said "No, I have to go." And he left. I honestly didn't know about the Hartford thing until now, so that makes more sense.
Remember what he said to that other guy on TSN? “You’re a producer with a big stick” or something along those lines. While being inches away from him. On national TV. With a weird smile on his face.
Caps fan. I never knew him as a coach. I didn't really watch hockey until Ovie and Washington is my home city. I can not stand McGuire as a commentator. He just doesn't add anything to broadcast and his questions are dumb.
I don't follow hockey for so long to know anything about his coaching career, but personally I like Pierre McGuire, you can feel his love for the game and I feel like I've learned a lot from his commentary! ;)
I don't know. I listen to his spots on TSN stations and he's always spot on with analysis. Wealth of information and quite polite. Not coach material but hell of a hockey guy.
Regis McGuire.......That's his real name. His over the top bias for the Penguins continues to be embarrassing. Obviously, somebody at NBC likes him......That's probably the only person.
Person Of Interest I agree. I’ve seen do other games with different teams and it’s no where near the same. But with the pens. He has this hard on for them.
Listen enough to Pierre McGuire's weekly call-ins for TSN 690 through the season, and he'll make nods and references to players, coaching, etc during his time with the Penguins.
he had more enthusiasm for pens player shooting @ post in ot vs WSH last year than kuznetsov actually scoring (in monotone voice) "the defending champs are defending...no more" ~notcapsfan......just more fun listening to someone who gives a darnit
Ahh not a video about how he’s in love with Crosby and the Pens and would pay to have Sid bend him over the boards at PPG while he is gently spanked by Sid and uttering the words “my precious” with a single happy tear rolling down his cheek? Damn was sure this was the day!
I loved a moment between Pierre and Jeremy Colliton about a week ago. Standard questions for a coach and he asked Colliton, who is grumpy and out of the playoffs, something to the effect of "is it fun coaching when your team is playing like this?" Colliton dead panned him and said "be a lot more fun if we were winning." Pierre took that as his cue to piss off
Controversy Sells. That's why certain TV personalities have a job. Pierre Mc Guire, Jeremy Roenick, Jeff O'Neil and even Don Cherry. All of you love stories that are controversial! They are the stories that get the most attention. That doesn't mean that those people are right or wrong, they have a job because they sell. Today's world loves to argue and give their opinion, the more insulting the better. The more offensive the better. Is it better or worse? I guess that's a matter of opinion. It's definitely noisier. I should have written in ALL CAPS SO THAT PEOPLE PAY ATTENTION!
I have a mostly negative opinion about Pierre McGuire, but he does have his good points. As you said in your video, I think it's very clear that he knows his hockey, and his analysis more often than not has merit and insight. I also think he's occasionally capable of some really good colour calls ("Double Dion", etc) and I appreciate that he clearly loves the game. My overwhelming problem with him is that he really likes to be the centre of attention, and he often interjects either when he shouldn't or when he doesn't have anything really valuable to add. He also talks too much in general and has a bit of an awkward social manner, which makes him particularly grating as a broadcaster. (As a coach, which was a lot of what you talked about, I can't say. I don't have enough insight.)
This is make a lot of sense now, good thing that Ottawa Senators fired him, they had good reason, the other reason was Melnyk was the one that hired and reminded them Melnyk so firing him was on the to do list then, this is probably makes more sense now hearing you're explanation and now it makes way more sense
Was watching the flames game the other night.....next thing you know Pierre is talking about how Crosby, Tyson Barrie, Nathan Mackinnon and some other guy all won the worlds together and now go on vacation together every summer!
He was HATED by all players during his brief tenure as an NHL coach. Imagine that?! Here's a quote from Wiki, "McGuire had never been a head coach at any level. During his six months as Whalers head coach, McGuire coached the team to a 23-37-7 record.[18] 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."
I like Pierre. His excitement for the game constantly reminds me of an excited little kid at the carnival or the park lol. Sure he's weird and random but I love his excitement
Pierre isn't that bad compared to Ed "let's talk about horse racing" Olczyk. I wish they would pair Keith Jones with Mike Emerick in the broadcast booth instead of burdening him in the studio with Milbury.
I like Pierre when he did the world Junior broadcasts, also he was a broadcaster for TSN as well. I always hated how TSN took the hockey night in canada theme from CBC too.
As written in the article, "He is book smart and X's and O's smart, but often not people smart." NBC did not take note of this from 1994. There is hardly a soul watching NBCSN to see any of their analysts. The whole team needs to be revamped. This game is too awesome to have such mediocrity in its coverage. Listen to your fans and maybe, just maybe, the ratings may improve.
When McGuire is working a game, I mute the TV and listen to the radio guys. I can't explain it, but I have this NEED to punch him the face whenever I see him on TV. I don't normally have such NEED for things.
I hate Pierre McGuire always mispronouncing names. Perron is pronounced Purron not Pearon. Pietrangelo is pronounced like it spelt not Peterangelo. Also don't like him in the fact no matter who is playing when he is commentating he never won't talk about the Blackhawks. Blackhawks aren't even playing and he talks about them during a different game.
Shannon I've always been curious about why you and other Canucks fans had a problem with Mark Messier when he played in Vancouver towards the end of his career. May not be worth its own video, maybe you did one already. I know he became a bit self-important at the end of his career but it had to be more than that. Anyway, thanks.
What was the difference between Pierre McGuire and Don Cherry? Marcus Nilsson worked out well for the 2004 Flames! :D "Eightpeat" copy written by George Wendt. :D
NBC is almost unwatchable, McGuire and Roenick both know the game too well to be this bad. I have to wonder if there isn't some network honcho directing them. I watch with the sound off and the radio stream on. Even with that the camera work is horrible.
Look, the man is a master of maximizing opportunities and of self aggrandizement. Pierre McGuire made friends with Scotty Bowman who visited St Lawrence Univ to see his daughter who attended the school at the same time as PM was assistant coach of the hockey team there around 89-90. The next year, Bowman became director of player development in Pittsburgh and offered PM the position of Special Assignment Scout (whatever that is). The next year, Bowman became intirim Head Coach and he made PM an assistant. They went on to win the Stanley Cup in 1992. Isn't it odd that Bowman dropped PM from his staff after such a success? Bowman did continue on as head coach and won the President's Trophy the following season (93) sans McGuire? PM then parleyed this "success" into a position with the Hartford Wailers (a remarkably unsuccessful team) as Assistant Coach in 92-93. The following season, he was moved to Assistant GM (this was Sept 93). Within months, after Holmgren quit as head coach, McGuire was made head coach himself. PM was fired at the end of the season and team captain, Pat Verbeek said it was the best thing that could have happened to the team and that he was mocked around the league. He may not have been ready to be a head coach at 32 but he was also a charletan. Honestly, the man was never in any position for more than a year and often much much less. And to hear him talk, he is the equal of many legitimate professionals who actually served time and climbed the ranks as coaches and managers rather than just appearing out of nowhere. McGuire is pure smoke and mirrors. For Gods sake Shannon, why even go here? Your attempt at defending this boob tarnishes your own reputation frankly.
It would be good for the NHL. Not sure it would be good for him, not good for his product anyway. Certainly not good for his fans. Then again if they paid well enough it might offer some financial stalitilty for him and his wife. That's not all bad. Screw it. Don't worry about us Shannon - Send 'em your resume.
Austin yes in fact when I have a great game in be a pro hearing my first name sounds awesome with compliments because THAT will NEVER happen in real life lol
Whoever the female colour commentator is on at NBC is really good. IDK her level of knowledge but that doesn't matter to me. She knows her stuff without sounding completely awkward and I applaud her. And it's kinda hot, ngl. Women who know their hockey is a thumbs up for me!
Should have made this video standing awkwardly close to the camera lol
"Here come the downvotes..." that made me chuckle
Jay333 haha, very funny
Do you really care how The Hockey Guy does his videos, seriously
Me: Can you believe The Hockey Guy actually made a video about this?

You forgot to add "Johnny "

The best is listening to Pierre McGuire talk about players on Team Canada...every player is a God to him.
This is so much better than the analysis you get from regular sports coverage.
The guy loves the game, loves the details, loves the players and his genuine excitement makes for some awkward moments. But he has endeared himself to me over the years, especially with his dedication to Ottawa radio.

Look, the man is a master of maximizing opportunities and of self aggrandizement. Pierre McGuire made friends with Scotty Bowman who visited St Lawrence Univ to see his daughter who attended the school at the same time as PM was assistant coach of the hockey team there around 89-90. The next year, Bowman became director of player development in Pittsburgh and offered PM the position of Special Assignment Scout (whatever that is). The next year, Bowman became intirim Head Coach and he made PM an assistant. They went on to win the Stanley Cup in 1992. Isn't it odd that Bowman dropped PM from his staff after such a success? Bowman did continue on as head coach and won the President's Trophy the following season (93) sans McGuire?
PM then parleyed this "success" into a position with the Hartford Wailers (a remarkably unsuccessful team) as Assistant Coach in 92-93. The following season, he was moved to Assistant GM (this was Sept 93). Within months, after Holmgren quit as head coach, McGuire was made head coach himself. PM was fired at the end of the season and team captain, Pat Verbeek said it was the best thing that could have happened to the team and that he was mocked around the league. He may not have been ready to be a head coach at 32 but he was also a charletan. Honestly, the man was never in any position for more than a year and often much much less. And to hear him talk, he is the equal of many legitimate professionals who actually served time and climbed the ranks as coaches and managers rather than just appearing out of nowhere. McGuire is pure smoke and mirrors.
For Gods sake Shannon, why even go here? Your attempt at defending this boob tarnishes your own reputation frankly.
NHL should hire Shannon
It would be good for the NHL. Not sure it would be good for him, not good for his product anyway. Certainly not good for his fans.
Then again if they paid well enough it might offer some financial stalitilty for him and his wife. That's not all bad. Screw it. Don't worry about us Shannon - Send 'em your resume.
Pierre is entertaining as hell, I get the hate, but I think he brings a lot of personality.
Austin agreed
Probably the best part of the NHL videogames
@@LilleyComix97 You're thinking of Ray Ferraro?
Austin yes in fact when I have a great game in be a pro hearing my first name sounds awesome with compliments because THAT will NEVER happen in real life lol
@@MiserableDuck95 unlike ray he has a cup ring too
I like what you said about needing a nice guy.without ron maclean don cherry would fail
Whoever the female colour commentator is on at NBC is really good.
IDK her level of knowledge but that doesn't matter to me. She knows her stuff without sounding completely awkward and I applaud her. And it's kinda hot, ngl. Women who know their hockey is a thumbs up for me!
She's only there to push the Jew media liberal feminist agenda just like how they race bait with the black players.
Soccer mom Pierre is trying to baby the league
-Mike Milbury
pierre = best colour commentator in hockey history
When is the draft lottery?
