He is by far the most bias person on TV. I get he's from Canada and everything, but at least pretend like you don't hate the Bruins. At one point Horton was backchecking against one of the Canucks and he went on for like five minutes on Vancouver's superior speed.
1. Horton was at the end of a shift.
2. The guy didn't even end up with a shot.
3. No one every pretended that Horton was the Bruins fastest player.
Can Versus really not find anybody else to talk about the game.

what i get a kick out of is, it's OK for all of canada(fans, analysts, commentators) to want their canadian francise to win the cup. no problem there, or mention that it's not really canada winning- there are players from all over the world on the team. but if in the US, BOSTON fans chant USA- pulling for the US team to win regardless of who's on the team...its offensive, foolish, disrespectful. i don't get it- every analyst may as well be draped in the canadian flag for these playoffs, and it's what's expected. why the double standard? -

I would take him anyday over Healey. at least he loves hockey. I hear ya though. They need to get an entirely new crew with hockey. PJ Stock would be fantastic. I like Ray Ferraro as well. They need some new blood. -

You're nuts - PG is awesome. He knows not only hockey, but the histories of the players and how they came to where they are now. The irony of your comment is that no one can credibly dispute that Jack Edwards is by FAR the most bias commentator in hockey. -

I think Pierre is pretty good. I didn't like Moe Howard an Millbury between the 2nd and 3rd period it seemed Millbury didn't want to say much which is so unlike Millbury. Moe was talking about how Hamhuis hasn't returned to the game since the Krecji crosscheck? Hamhuis was hurt from the check on Lucic , Krejci pushed him with his stick . I think the refs were the story the first two periods the third they let them play. -

Does he really need to tell us every time the Sedins come on the ice whether or not Chara is on and when he follows them? its going to get pretty tiresome by the end of the series.
Its a given Pierre - find something insightful to say. -

CBC was terrible last night. Healy's a disgrace. More Bruins are Canadians for crying out loud. I had to mute it. They were just looking for negative comments on the Beans. Hopefully they can take game two and come home with home ice!! GO BEANS! -

Notice that Maguire and Healy are both between the benches. Fools of a feather stick together. -

For you U.S. Bruins fans welcome to most despised man on any hockey broadcast. We have to listen to this clown all year in Canada on TSN. The only saving grace are the finals are on CBC and I do not see his creepy face (notice how close he stands to players during an interview).
P.S. He also thimks Ulfie is a great guy and was a great player for the Pens. Imagine what Cam must think of him.

He's the king of hyperbole and often blows and sucks at the same time.
I'm Canadian and most of my hockey fan friends detest the Vanucks and their smarmy fans, especially those lame morons in the green body condoms.
However, the chick that flashed her b**bs at Ben Eager in the semis gets a conditional OK. -

Hate the man.. Craig Button is quickly become just as annoying. He actionally had the chaonies to say there is "no clear evidence that bergeron got bit. His co-host was laughing in his face... -

In Response to Re: Pierre McGuire:I agree with how annoying he is. Micheletti is so much better. McGuire is like the kid you didn't want hanging around with your group of friends. Just annoying. Also, what is doubly annoying was how every time the officials made a call, he praised them for it. The Hamhuis hit on Lucic is borderline dirty where I come from and he's like "great, clean hit!" I had no idea targeting someone's knees in any sport was "clean". It's not where I come from. A hip check is at the thigh or waist area, not that low at the knees.

When you bend your knees like Hamhuis did, that hardly constitutes a hip check. -

To over the top for my liking........and changes his tune on teams at the flip of a coin. One second they couldn't shoot their way out of a paper bag, and then they are the best team bar none in the next period. -

I really like Pierre. As for Button, I can't really make a fair evaluation of him during the games, but as far as his hockey knowledge, when the draft lists from other people not only from TSN, but other scouting services, come out, his lists are always so far off it's not even funny.
With all that being said, am I the only one waiting for Pierre to have his signature creepy moment this series? There was the Byfuglien interview last year, him with Rob Ray on the bench, and him standing dangerously close to Dutch during the trade deadline special a few years back. -

He's an Irish guy named Pierre. Nothing about him makes any sense.
