TSN's Pierre Mcguire

[The Nation]

In my opinion, I think he is one of Canada's worst colour men around. Very biased, and prejudice towards European players. I also don't think European players dive as much any more.

Your Comments.

I never heard of the guy, but isn't he going to be on the NBC broadcast team?

I'll get a glimpse of this guy then.

if you're talking about the russian player down by the penalty boxes in the 2nd, yeah, that was a dive anyways.

i like mcguire... he knows his stuff and hes not biased... he was teh one that pointed out how bad the non-goal was.... anyone but team of cole and neil... its nothing but verbal felatio when the leafs are on HNIC...

The thing about Pierre McGuire is that he gets overexcited about the most simplest plays. And he calls any good player "a monster performer!" And he does this almost every five minutes. It's actually quite amusing.

You gotta here him at the NHL Entry Draft. Pretty much a giant suck-up to every team and an instant expert on every player.

I think he'd be Notorious AP's idol.

i'm willing to bet mcguire IS an expert on a bunch of those players, though.

AND ITS A DOUBLE DION!

there is no question his biggest hard on goes to dion phanuef.

Me too.

I've listened to him on a couple of Canucks games on TSN and the first thing I noticed was that he talked about each team evenly, he complimented each side evely, and he was an exciting guy to listen to. I don't mind he gets excited easily because that's what we need MORE OF, guys getting EXCITED FOR HOCKEY and BIG PLAYS, there's too many commentators that are boring and un-excited, Pierre's good.

I think he may be a little biased (when the Russian player went down, it was a crime, but when Downey did it, it was Downey's "skill") but then again, on a Canadian channel in a Canadian game, do we really need unbiased announcing?

I love how TSN denied the Russian Hockey Federation people the tape for the goal... and said so on live TV. Brilliant!

...and the "Double Dion" call ranks among some of the greatest calls in the history of sports. The fact that McGuire gets so excited during the game is priceless and makes the game worth watching. Who was it in the third period who "became a man" when he fended off the Russian player in the corner in the Canadian end and retained possession of the puck? That was hilarious.

i think it was Kris Russel because he said something about Caroline, AB when it happend.

I think Pierre McGuire is a good hockey pundit, as many others. Hockey is a show these days, his excitement seems sincere.

In my opinion, sports journalists are the most biaised of all journalists. There're all come from somewhere. The fact that HNIC is pro-Leafs is not bad in itself, the problem is when they try to justify it.

Here in the beautiful State of Quebec, sport medias always complaint about the control of the Toronto media mafia, but they're not better because they always talk of the HABS...

Go Nordiques Go!

It's so true, it's like when theres a goal he'll go on praising the backup goalie, saying if it werent for him opening the door to the bench the goal wouldn't have happened.

Can't be more true. I can't stand watching a game with french commentators when it is shown in english. Although McGuire can be really excited sometimes, it really is color commentary.

I did find his call on Russell really funny!

I think I remember him saying that once, though I don't think he was being really serious about it.

yah he's brutal when it comes to that but I don't think he's biased, check out Bobby Cole for that one!
