If you watch the Canadiens game in french and understand french, you can't deny that Benoit Brunet is the worst. I thought Yvon (matante) Pednault was bad but the guy who replace him, Benoit Brunet, is 10 times worst.

Pierre Mcguire and Nick Kypreos are up there.

He's not as bad as Ed Whalen or whoever the WWF guys that you and Edmonton have for broadcasters.Your two teams should combine all your talent get rid of Jerome the most over rated hockey player since mark messier iginla and then you might win a playoff round or even be able to hold on to a 17 pt lead in the standings going down to the wire Calgary flames SUCK only team I hate more is Calgary and Edmonton oh yeah and Toronto.

worst is Dean Brown when Gary Galley is with him. He forgets to call the play by play and him and Gary start talking small talk. They talked about the out door game which we all watched. mean time the game is going on with no play by play. When he gets back it's like he has no interest. he needs to watch other play by play games and see how exciting the anouncer can make a game even if it's not. maybe he should just get rid of Gary who never shuts up. We are learning to mute the game when Gary is there.

Gene Principe is awful. He makes VERY bad jokes, and forces the other sportscasters to pretend to laugh (trust me, they can't act). Besides, have you ever heard him talk about hockey and sound like he knows what he is doing?

Anybody remember Rod Black in the '94 olympics. While interviewing one our players after our loss, Rod comments,"you promised you're dying father you'd win gold, how do you feel?"

I find Mcguire to be a little much on the air, but listening to his radio segments are actually fairly interesting. Like him or hate him, the guy lives and breaths the NHL, and knows a ludicrous amount about league minutiae.

As you may guess from my other thread, I don't think anyone is worse than Mike Milbury. I enjoy Al Strachan only because Milbury hates him so much he can't even hide it on the air. It's kind of like Mclean/Bettman where they take little jabs at eachother constantly while faking meaningful conversation. Childish, but entertaining to me anyways.

I agree with Leafs81 - quit complaining about guys like McGuire, the worst are definitely on French TV. At least McGuire knows his hockey and has a great knowledge of players in the AHL or the juniors.

Indeed, the worst guy is Benoit Brunet. He frequently makes obvious grammatical and vocabulary mistakes, has no knowledge of players outside the Eastern Conference, and he will comment every penalty as being "borderline" (for French readers, "c'était limite"). He even confused Taylor Hall (probably the first or second pick at next summer's draft) with Adam Hall. Not just once or twice, but at least three times on the air!

It seems to be common at RDS though to hire employees without the proper knowledge to be on TV. During the Olympics, Jacques Demers said Toews was only 19 years old. Then, the game after, Joel Bouchard said Toews was 25. I mean, is it so difficult to do a search on Google before saying something on the air?

That's why I prefer to watch English TV. Complain about Pierre McGuire all you want, but when compared to the guys in the French media, he's a genius.

WOW, some guys who actually agree with me? I've stated before that i don't have a prob with McGuire. Yeah, some of his overused words/terms could be annoying i guess, but i agree he knows hockey and i like that part of him.

+1 to Alex. You Leaf fans suck hard. Maybe you guys should coach them. It'll be better than what they have now, apparently. I am really in awe of the Laff's winning tradition. Hahahahhaaaaaaa!!!!!

Maguire is a joke! He loves guys like Matt Cooke & Steve Downie, yet can't stand the tough guys. With the huge amount that hate the guy, it's amazing he's still got a job.
Also, Ray Ferarro is another loud mouth joke. He can't fall off the face of the earth anytime now. He's almost as brutal as Maguire.
Jim Hughson, is so pro Canucks it's sickening to listen to. He useed to be one of the best, now he's a Canuck homer & every routine save is GREAT SAVE LUONGO.

Hey Beans: How do you know McGuire has zero credibility in the hockey world? Are you connected to the hockey world? If he is so unconnected why did he have an interview for the vacant Minnesota Wild GM job when they fired Risebrough?

I get a kick out of people who make false statements because they either do not like the person's style on TV or something they said or even better, they are jealous ofhte person lol

As I post this, Pierre leads the most hated list. And deservedly so! I think that everyone else has done a great job covering what is or isn't said by this numpty. My biggest issue with this guy is the non-stop, verbal diarrhea that spews from his pie-hole. I don't mind the TSN play-by-play coverage. The problem starts as soon as the whistle blows; I cringe as I prepare for the onslaught of trivial facts, figures and repetitive diatribe! As was covered by previous posts, I mute the volume or I pause playback and then skip forward during the segments of airtime when he is yammering on. I often miss face-offs to do this, but I consider it a good trade off; better than the alternative. Somebody please fire him!!!!

Pierre "Captain Obvious" McGuire actually makes me mad when he speaks. If a game is playing anywhere else, even in French, I'm watching it there instead.

Pierre Maguire should be dragged out into the streets, drawn and quartered, tarred and faethered, you name it. Get that moron of my television.

Mike Milburry should get way more TV time, come on, when he played for Boston he went up in the stands and beat a fan with his shoe. Now that's smoebody worth listening to.

McGwire makes some real strange remarks. I'm sure he does it tp get a reaction. Not sure why he is love with Downie and Tutu. I thinnk he may have confused them with Rev. Tutu or the fact he thinks he discovered them.

Bob Cole is terrible. Just close your eyes during a telecast. You will have no idea whats going on.

Gord Miller is the best of the Canadian Crew but Simpson is as dry as toast. If you listen to him you would think that Confidence is the most important "skill" a player could have. Note to Simpson, "You have confidence because you have skills" not the other way around.

Loubardias is terrible. Who on earth would refer to a a powerplay as a "one man powered advantage", it sounds cartoonish. Bob Cole should retire, Jim Hughson is so biased towards the Canucks and Luongo its sick, and Glenn Healey is pompass jerk.

The best by far is Cuthbert. There is no other play by play guy that can come up with the epic one liners like him. Case in point, the Olympic call on Crosby's gold medal goal. It might just be a more classic call then "HENDERSON".

Kevin Weekes is easily the worst sportscaster, I cant stand his mono-tone voice it makes me want to fall asleep... In my opinon his sportscaster skills are just as good or worse than his goaltending skills...My worst nightmare would be kevin weekes playing goal and calling the game at the same time

The people doing the Ottawa-Pittsburgh series are terrible! they spent the first 20 minutes of pre-game talking about Crosby and the Penguins then they finally promised to start talking about Ottawa and all they talked about was how much Ottawa needed to shut down Crosby.

I'm sure I'm not the only woman hockey fan who wants to beat him with a blunt object. I'd love to see a player cross check him instead of agreeing to speak with him before or after a game. That would seriously rock.

All of them!! Strachan will try to convince you that you traded for someone...

If you listened to Pierre...every prospect is going to be a superstar...and...he's watched every single player....since they were 3! Never heard so much crap out of someone in my life lol

Still waiting for him to get a puck to the head between the bench! that's why you sit in the booth buddy!

personally i hate all of them reason is that nobody talks about Edmonton and when they do they say they suck.. not even giving them a chance. not only that; they think that the american teams are amazing . the only reason the Americans win the cup every year is that they out number us. even the old and us Canadians would win lord Stanley every time

loved the Pierre "captain obvious" McGuire comment.... though i've heard he is done commentating now which is fantastic.

mike milbury isn't much better.

Jeremy Roenick hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread and although he was a pretty good player he spews cliches and is dumber than a door knob.

I love the guy in Buffalo whoever that is he is hilarious and exciting. MAYDAYYY MAYYDAYYY!!!!!
