Pang Replaces Pierre!

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

So, I doubt it's permanent, but Darren Pang has replaced Pierre McGuire between the benches during today's NBC broadcast!

He is doing the Pens / Flyers game right now with the rest of NBC's first-string announcers (Emrick, etc).

I'm extremely happy about it and wouldn't be upset if I never had to listen to Pierre again. I actually ran into Mr. Pang at a Kings game (Coyotes in town) and told him I missed him on the national broadcasts. He said he was working on it (clearly he wasn't lying!). I ended it with, "I just wish you would replace Pierre McGuire between the benches, we'd all love to see that" he smiled big and said he really appreciated the complement.

It's not permanent. Pang substitutes for Pierre when Pierre has to cover a game for TSN.

Yep, in most circumstances his TSN gimmick is with Gord Miller.

I mean Pierre can be exhausting but what is wrong with having a guy who is passionate about the sport we all love? He knows the game inside and out...tells us the stuff we want to hear (and some that we dont) but all in all he brings a perspective to the game that is different. I like alot of the different commentators out there but I absolutely have no problem with a guy like Pierre as long as I dont have to listen to him every game lol !!

Pierre's cool in my book. When he's not talking. Or writing. Or communicating in any way whatsoever.

Haha, that reminded me of a quote from Big Daddy. "Having a kid is great... as long as he's not moving or speaking."

I read the first sentence and decided to skip your whole post because you're a Pierre lover... but then I saw a more recent post that was highlighting your comments. Shame on me for judging a book by it's cover!

Hold up there...at what point did I say I was a Pierre lover? There are plenty of other play by play guys or color guys I would rather listen to. I was just giving my opinion on what I think of him. Some people get so narrow minded around here they forget this is a discussion board for discussing things !!

Pang is by far my favorite analyst in national broadcasts. Really enjoyed him between the benches today, he's so even-keel, Pierre always seems exaggerated, putting on a performance.

Hating Pierre sure is the cool thing to do, but the fact remains that he is the most knowledgeable hockey personality in the game today ;)

Pang is great too
