Looolll

that is an incoming blackout... and 10:19pm only ouch. His night will not end well.

Pierre's knowledge dropping is obnoxious. He shoehorns. He's a color guy, tell me about the game. Emrick's job as a broadcaster is partly as a storyteller, tell the story of the game - rarely is he throwing in a reference to minor league hockey unless there's a brawl or the game is mostly out of reach.

I understand why both do it - hockey's story doesn't begin and end at the NHL level, but for a lot of American fans, they believe it does. The closest reasonably high level hockey to New York City right now is either Yale University or the ECHL Trenton Titans. Well, okay, I don't know why Pierre does it, as he's been broadcasting in Canada for ages and does the same nonsense there.

nice response, but i was mostly just screwing around trolling (standard)

and yeah, that's some sick mid-season form type drunk posting from bigd there

Only if you pay me.

Triumph, Bridgeport CT of the AHL is closer to most of NYC than Yale or Trenton.

It doesn't bother me as a Canadian when NFL commentators bring up specific college games from NCAA schools I've never heard of. If the stories relevant, it's relevant. Pierre's stories aren't always relevant, but I still like the random facts here and there.

OKC LOiLers @ Abbotsford Flames on Sportsnet tonight, 7pm PST/10pm EST

here and there yeah, but no one needs to hear who scouted, the name of parents, junior coach, etc of like a dozen players per game. i don't know if he's doing it to show off that he knows everyone and everything, or bc he thinks the people get something out of being name-dropped on TV, but comes across as pretty annoying, obnoxious, & unimportant to most i think.

and we get it, EVERY CHL/NCAA Coach is doing an amazing job running a great program...

No way that Zamuner should make this team.

Peehs maybe next week, need to find some time. Anyone have tabulating software for that ****?

lolololololol, nice!

it's my understanding that the sheep scorer here also works for peehs

TR: Probably first time I've been drunk in over 10 years. Had about 3/4 of a 26'er of gin.

Feeling good.

So if these reports are true, they're really squabbling/stalling bargaining again over $379m, which would essentially be like 4% of the total revenue pie over each of the next 3 yrs? (And that's assuming almost no growth). I realize there's other issues but this is the main sticking point by all accounts, someone correct me if I'm wrong. Pretty shameful if they don't get something done in the next two weeks.

Blake Geoffrion hospitalized after one of the biggest hits you will ever see.

Yeah, there's a balanace that needs to be struck. Personally, I think mike Emrick does that a bit more than he should as well. But for Pierre, he's obviously been told to keep doing what he's doing. And they absolutely want him to say positive things and present hockey in that kind of positive light.

But if that many people are put off by it then adjustment should be considered even if Emrick and their producers are all, "hey, that tidbit really added to the broadcast." Listen to your fans some too. You can't listen to every criticism though or you'll go crazy. But if enough want higher quality content without as much trivia then consider it.

I actually like Pierre. Especially when he's evaluating what he sees on the ice or hears or sees in the benches. I think some of that content and how well he presents it is really terrific. Very enthusiastic and just good insight a lot of times. But it is clear that many would prefer he dial down the frequent Moose Jaw, Yellow Lake, Saskatoon, and Chicoutimi references.

boom, BOOM!

KEEP YER HEAD UP, KID

He almost died, fractured skull. He's stable.

blame it on chara

yikes! didn't know it was quite that serious...

wow, get well soon

A lot of players have been tweeting get well wishes including the guy who dealt the hit.

...Swinburn said that once the lockout ends, Molson Coors will seek financial compensation from the league over the negative impact that a lack of games has had on the hockey league sponsor...

lol

WTF? No reference to a clearly more important factor in the sales downturn.

I assume you're referring to youhavetwoweeks.com of course?

i find pierre to be mind blowingly annoying, to the point where i will watch hockey games on mute if he's one of the primary broadcasters
