Hey NBC executive; Tennessee and Missouri are playing against each other in a post season capacity on your sports network.

NBC: oh gently caress yes, is it college sports?

naw dog, it's hockey.

NBC: OH gently caress NO OUR RATINGS, PUT THE BLACKHAWKS CLEANING OUT THEIR LOCKERS ON! Put Crosby and Ovie graphics slowly rotating somewhere on the screen.

I get to hear about Crosby when it's the Rangers too. Pierre got some Crosby talk in during Game 6 IIRC.

Pierre ruins games for me. I can't stand his voice, I don't care for his useless background knowledge gimmick, and I think his analysis is facile and often wrong. I'll have to turn on a radio broadcast and mute the TV for the rest of this year's Caps games.

Emerick is cool, though I'm noticing him flubbing names more often this year in the couple games of his I've caught.

This is happening with Sam Rosen lately too and it makes me sad because he's the best. Although hopefully Kenny Alberts takes his place on MSG because he also owns.

The reason I hate Crosby so much is that he's shoved down my throat every minute of every game all season and post season long. Crosby could get concussed game 1 and that's all they'd talk about all season.

Usually this is the case in the west with the blackhawks, except this time they didn't outscore the opposing goalie

Speaking of Pierre, I think he would be an alright GM? He does do his research and knows way too much about juniors prospects. Being a insufferable dickhead would be bad tho

Don't you think that would make him a better scouting director? I mean, GMs rarely get to give locker room interviews to virile young athletes.

Doc Emerick is great. And they had a short background documentary on him a year or so ago that was pretty good.

Pierre is awful, but so easy to make fun of. Bobby Ryan asking him "where am I from....cherry hill New Jersey" is easily going to be the best part of this years playoffs.

Most of the others blow. Gary Thorne never bothered me.


Edit: on a random note: the retail store I used to work at had John LeClair visit again today (he buys all his phones there). I was sad today I switched stores. I did sell his wife her last phone, so that is my closest hockey contact (I was to much of a pussy to bring up hockey).

You should have been in Canada last season. "MCJESUS WILL SAVE US!!MCJESUS!!!". They were really cranking it up and then he got injured, which luckily put a little bit of a damper on it. This year was then somewhat offset by the Leafs not being useless, so they could return to the usual Toronto-uber-alles strategy, with the occasional McJesus distraction. They're still completely and utterly ignoring that the Senators are in the playoffs and the CBC clearly wanted the Rangers to beat the Habs.

Pierre McGuire's biggest problem last time he was working for a hockey team was that nobody took him seriously and respected him.

I don't think he's got that solved yet.

well that's dumb. guys like crosby and mcdavid don't come along very often. just let yourself witness greatness without crying about the marketing. i mean think of how much you would have hated, like, gretzky or orr

i'm not saying the league does a good job of marketing crosby, btw

Anyone keep track of how many times they mentioned Nashville sweeping Chicago? Because goddamn I think Kenny Albert slipped that in every thirty seconds.

You mean healthy, top tier defensemen for concussed, broken necked defensemen who average like 40 games a season?

How dare they not fulfill my yahoo fantasy trade suggestion. Or are we just making fun of Montreal? It's not clear what's happening here.
