Pierre McGuire is a MONSTER (douche)
Posted by Mother Pucker on January 16th, 2009Oh man am I ever getting frustrated with Pierre McGuire lately. I don’t know if its because TSN is actually showing meaningful or watchable games this year, or if its becaus I got an overdose of this clown during the World Juniors. Either way, I’m sick of him, to the point that I’ve actually had to flip away from TSN broadcasts in order to prevent my hockey stick to go through the plasma tv, or the couch out the basement window.
I was wondering if I was alone in my thinking that he is a MONSTERdouche, but apparently I’m not. While at a boston pizza during the WJHC I ran a little poll with the people at my table and the adjacent tables, and pretty much the first words out of everyones mouth was “Effff I hate that guy.”
I also polled my twitter followers the other night and got “I am watching the Cherry/Orr prospects game because of that… Pierre grates on my nerves with his cheesy one-liners.” from Carmen in Calgary, “Hahaha. Mcguire is an idiot, you’d think they would have figured that out by now.” from Kaylie, “i hate when Mcguire is down on ice level – hes such a douche” from mantooth in Chicago, “whole heartedly concure. That guy is a MONSTER ass.” from Geoff in Edmonton, and “that little dude ruined NHL on NBC games for me. Can you imagine trying to play with that dude yammering away between benches?” from SMCutter in New York.
I do have to say that having someone down on ice level between the benches is an awesome idea, but seriously pick someone better! As far as I can tell with TSN, Gord Miller is the play by play guy, and the douche is the colour guy. And as far as I can tell from all my years of watching hockey, the play by play guy covers just that, and the color guy throws in his two cents during stopages in play. Ever notice how often McGuire decides to bring up some uselss stat about where some guy shoveled snow when he was young, WHILE THE PLAY IS GOING ON? Who gives a flying one? I had to give props to Miller one night for basically telling the douche to shut up and let him do his job! Just about jumped off the couch to cheer after that one!
Anyway TSN, get rid of this guy. I love the style of the one up one down, but you need to seriously consider who you have down there as viewers are turning away simply because they can’t stand your broadcaster.
I forgot to include this youtube link:

Look how close he is standing to dutch! haha what a creep.
Haha… that video is pretty funny… pretty tight there aren’t they! I’m tired of hearing Pierre talk about how good Kovalev is everytime they are playing… he’s in love with the Habs, so that makes me dislike him even more
LOL Looks like Dutch is worried about getting a kiss.
I don’t mind Maguire but agree that he can talk a little too much. I would say cut what he says by about 63% and it would be better.
He is always talking about how the players is the pride of (insert random town here)…or all the active sticks, it goes on and on really.
Who would win in a fight Maguire of Dutch?

McGuire is more annoying because he just doesn’t know how to be quiet.
Case in point, during a Rangers game on NBC a couple years ago, the refs told him to be quiet because he was annoying everyone on the two benches.
He really is a monster douche. Plus, he is really creepy when he interviews the younger players. All through the Winter Classic, I was scared for Toews & Kane any time he got anywhere near them.
I tried to get a friend to throw something at him at last nights game in Carolina, but alas, she was on the other side of the ice and wouldn’t have been able to hit him with her beer cup hard enough.
He is the dirty old man of hockey broadcasting. Ew!
Maybe he likes Dutch? He did say Dutch plays with a long stick.
I think you either love him or hate him…looks like most are not in love with Pierre.
I can handle him, he definitely brings some intensity and he has passion for the game.
I petty the Americans who tune into NBC and catch a game for the first time and all they hear is McGuire and his interpretation of our game. Makes my eyes water as I think of it.
Yes ! I agree 4000% ! During world juniors I wanted to reach into my TV and punch him in the face. He is a know it all, yap all the time, over the play by play guy with tips about how to be a douche like him.
I totally agree with this group! The guy is a complete DISGRACE to hockey!!! Me and my buddies have a group of our own on facebook with similar objectives. for anyone who is interested, look up “I absolutely hate TSN’s Pierre McGuire and Bob MacKenzie” on facebook groups. Thanks for the support.
Find a way to Fire this Guy
Do it Fast before the Olympics. He is god awful.
Mcguire should just come out and say he wants to have sex with crosby. I am watching the game on mute. For those of you who may not know his real name is Regis Mcguire.
