Pierre's love this year

It seems to be(and i know it's early!!) is that he LOVEEEEEEEEEs Justin Pogges puck-handling abiltiy.He put's it on early par with Martin Brodeur.

Again............................it's up to all to kill him or not.

i predict by the end of the tournament, pierre will be raving about staal like he did with phaneuf and pitkanen

i predict by the end of the tournament, pierre will be raving about staal like he did with phaneuf and pitkanen
well he's an early contestant i agree.Not up on Pogge's level yet but getting there.

He seemed to have a thing for Boyd tonight during the Finland game, I figured it would have been Toews with the way hes been raving pre tournament.

Sounds to me like his early tourney D-man is Bourdon.

This could be the closest race for McGuire love EVER. Any one of these guys could achieve monster status by the end of this tournament, and perhaps even have plays named after them ("That's a double-Dion! He got Phaneufed!").

I say we place bets.

Well,i think it's down to production of couse.Right now.With Pogge at 1-0.....................he's pretty safe,sweet nothings will be sung into his ear until that time.Now put a dissapointing performance in there by him and whammo!!........maybe someone takes that mantle.

He'll be all over Erik Johnson after the Canada - U.S. game.

McGuire- "DOWNIE WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!!111oneone" etc. etc

He'll be all over Erik Johnson after the Canada - U.S. game.

Don't know how to answer this.................want to kill you one one hand and then want to praise you for your wittyness(have i spelled that right you metros?)..............but my first choice is to not think highly of you.LOL

I personally thought Pierre wet his pants with excitement every time Andrew Cogliano touched the puck.

If I played the Piere drinking game I would be drunk by the end of the first period and past out. I hope there is good security outside of the Canadian dressing room because I don't want McGuire sneeking in on the boys when they are showering.

I think his boy this tournament will be Bourdon or Staal. If Canada doesn't make it the gold metal then he will jump on the Johnson's bandwagon.

It's too hard to tell after that game. He was all over everyone. One not mentioned yet was Comeau.

"He's a big game player. 3 straight memorial cup appearances...."

"He played on a line with Yashin and Satan during the pre-season. Guess who was doing the forechecking on that line!"

And several more odes to his speed and physicallity.

Drink when he says:

- I was an assistant coach for the Pittsbugh Penguiins (when they won 2 Stanley Cups).

Pierre seems to like Kessel quite a bit.

However, I think that Mark Staal will be the winner when it is all said and done.

Awesome pick!!!!!!!!!

Staal gets my vote. Both he and Miller won't stop, which is a good thing if you're a Ranger fan.

I loved how mad he was at the ref for getting in the way though. haha

When ever he says the word "Dive" in any shape or form(Dived, Diving, Diver, etc.) take a shot.

Double Shots if it's against the Russians.

Your liver will hate you forever.

Did anyone happen to catch Bobs burn of Pierre when Pierre was going on about some player reminding him of this other player and Gord chimes in saying"Pierre,you're always saying some player reminds you of another".Then Bob chirps"Pierre,you remind me of Dick Vitale"

I think it was the best part of the night.

this is absolute money

It seems to me he loves Bourdon, Staal, Pogge, Boyd, Comeau. But he loves Downie the most.

No one will ever get up to Phaneuf status though.

:biglaugh: I love it how he kept talking about Bob Clarke telling him he was going off the board to pick Downie with his pick... he said that like 4 times over the course of the game.

Another thing... does he not have the monsters anymore for this tourney or whats with that?

Removing the centre line would seem to be gone from his bag of tricks this year.He got what he wanted so he's off that track this year.The only way i can see him bringing it out this year is to maybe toot his own horn by mentioing just how much better the game is without it.

Last year,it was in a dead heat with Dion for most mentioned subject and love with him.

According to Pierre, every damn player is special. If I took a shot for every time he called a player "special", I would be in the emergency room by the end of the game.

I watched the first period with my dad (it was shown after the US game) and my dad turned to me and said, "really, who the hell says "el-kabong"?"

How many Memorial Cup's Blake Comeau has played in
BC is his home for the next month, might want to move here (heaven forbid)

Definitely going to be Jonathan Toews IMO.

He showed it in the exhibition games and I think the more and more the tournament goes on, Toews will become possibly our main offensive weapon, thus making himthe prime target of Pierre's desire.

Another word to add to the Pierre drinking game is "torpedo". Loves to use it in the context of a big hit or big shot.

I have to wonder at this early stage how much he'll refer to Cogliano's skating ability as "Dave Keon like" too.That looks like it'll be one of his pet remarks this year too.

As much as it pains me to listen to him, it's even worse watching him do an interview. He'll sit there with that smug look on his face and nod like an idiot the entire time.

TSN's broadcast of the wjc is great except for this fool. I don't know why they keep him around

I'm pretty sure this is better than the Top Gun drinking game, which I felt was the pinnacle of organized tv-based drinking up until this point.

"under duress" - does Pierre even know what this word means?

And for Bob - "Having said that..."

:) ...all in good fun though...I like both of these guys...

Also that PM drinking game will get a lot of people miss the end of the game :D All funny but i dont mind him , hes ok .

Composite sticks. He yells everytime one breaks.

I don't know if Bob Mckenzie still lurks around here but if he does I'm sure he'd have to show this to Pierre. This thread is hilarious.

I like Pierre though. He has an incredible passion for the game and it shows through when he helps call the game.

sucking a bit there? ;)

I find him pretty damn annoying myself

I loved McGuire's slow but steady backtracking on Kessel not being a good distributor of the puck during the Norway game. In addition to having the skating ability of Pat LaFontaine and the shot of Brett Hull, he also apparently has the passing ability of Dale Hawerchuk! :biglaugh:

Yep,i've noticed that too.He's gone from Russ Courtnall in his passing to Dale Hawerchuk all in one game.

Another 2-3 assists today and he'll move into Craig Janney territory i think.Stay tuned.

I thought that was really funny cause Pierre always tries to use examples of great players from the player's own nationality when he's drawing parralels of skills... sorry Pierre... Ducky is from Ontario.

I also loved the sequence later in the game where they have an iso shot on Kessel on the PP and he's talking about his great escapability and smartness... and he did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING during the shot... made a couple of curls and that was it. Then later he was talking about how special Erik Johnson was on a end-to-end rush and what a smart player he was not taking chances, and at the end of the replay Johnson loses the puck at the offensive blueline and it was almost an odd man rush the other way.

But the best part was when Gord mentioned something about a couple of Johnson's on the blue line and then I guess he realized what he had said cause he was chuckling a bit.

Overall, I like the two of them calling games together... way better than the godawful duo of Roger Millions and Ryan Walter doing Flames broadcasts... yech!

Does Walter even speak? I caught those too during the Flames/Preds match-up last night, and I hardly heard a peep out of him. Millions is Captain Obvious for sure.

i cant wait till mcguires head explodes one day :eek:

So far during the swiss game it seems that Downey is in the front running!

"Watch Downey, he really is a special player... look at that crisp pass through the middle to set up the scoring opportunity, you know I havn't seen Cogliano since that last powerplay, you know who seems to be taking over his line? Downey. "

I found myself screaming "Whammo!" while watching a Leafs game the other day.

Damn you Pierre.

When I think of Pierre McGuire the terms "stretch pass" and "identify" immidiately pop into my head...

Now, I missed some of the Canada-Switzerland game, but I don't think I heard Pierre say the word "monster" once. If that's the case, it's gotta be a first for him. Too preoccupied with talking about integrity maybe.

Not a mention of Phaneuf, Parise or comparisons to Keon or Trottier that I caught in the game today :eek: although i love his new word of the tourney.... physical duress :biglaugh:

He did mention Phaneuf in the first period.

It's a tossup between Staal, Bourdon, and Downie so far, it seems.

I was afraid Pierre was going to start literally crying at the end there, he seemed so extremely broken up about the ref's lack of "integrity"

there should be a "Pierre's hate" thread.. it seems like he throws around more of it than love.

His commenting this year has made it VERY difficult for me to watch the games on TSN.. i'm almost tempted to wait for the game on tape delay on RDS. He constantly whines and he's so biased that he brings down everything NOT Canadian and will excuse anything wrong done by canadian players. Last night's whining about the officials was totally embarrassing.

I don't know how he got his job there, but the person who thought it would be a good idea to have Mcguire do the world juniors is seriously lacking in judgement.
:shakehead

I have really enjoyed Pierre McGuire the last few games. He's entertaining unlike many colour guys

It's a tossup between Staal, Bourdon, and Downie so far, it seems.

For me it's Downie with a clear lead. You can hear a change in Pierre's voice when he starts talking about Downie. He gets all giddy, sometimes he giggles, but mostly he just starts yelling about how great a player Steve Downie is. He keeps reminding everyone how Downie was brought on as the 13th forward but now he's teh most roxorz player!11!!!

I think he just uses Staal and Parent as an excuses to bring up Phaneuf and Weber from last year. "Staal is awesome, he and Parent are like Phaneuf and Weber last year." Bourdon is also getting a lot of love. His line with him still his usual "Get excited Vancouver. He's gonna be great for the next 10 years in Vancouver. I think they want to sign him right now..."

But this year his crush is really on Downie. Look how excited he got when Downie got Schremp kicked out of the faceoff. Or how when Chipchura scored the empty netter he kept repeating how unselfish Downie was for passing the puck ahead. Or how he giggles when Downie takes a penalty and doesn't yell the ref etc...

It seems to be(and i know it's early!!) is that he LOVEEEEEEEEEs Justin Pogges puck-handling abiltiy.He put's it on early par with Martin Brodeur.

Again............................it's up to all to kill him or not.

He compared Pogge to Brodeur again today....ugh...


For a guy who had like 18 shots all game, 10 in the first two, I'm still trying to figure out how Pogge made "game breaking saves" :dunno:

He constantly whines and he's so biased that he brings down everything NOT Canadian and will excuse anything wrong done by canadian players.


He's like Don Cherry....but instead of 6 minutes, he gets the entire night.

Ugh.

Actually, Ryan makes for a great german ref in movies.

Yes. Yes he did.

For total viewer confusion, just imagine if there was a kid on Team Canada named Eli Kabong.....
