Listening to Mike Francesa and Pierre McGuire chat today on WFAN-AM was almost painful. Pierre is a regular contributor to the show and assumes Mike has some knowledge of the NHL. When Mike said this it floored me:
“You will see Pierre McGuire when the Stanley Cups begin tomorrow night…”When did they have more then one Stanley Cup? Last time I checked they had one Cup, singular, not Cups. Mike mentioned that we’ll see Pierre on “NBC and all over”. He neglected to mention Versus or the Canadian TV outlet he works for most often. Mike then proceeded to mispronounce the head coach of the Flyers as Peter “Lavalet”. It’s Laviolette, not “Lavalet”. I’m not exactly a fan of Pierre McGuire but I had to listen. Mike obviously knows nothing about the NHL and this proved it with his dumb questions for Pierre. Mike asked Pierre if he was shocked with the Blackhawks getting into the Finals. Mike had no clue the Blackhawks came in 2nd place in the Western Conference, 1 point behind the San Jose Sharks. Last year they lost the Western Conference Finals to the Detroit Red Wings. Mike has no idea that Chicago’s an excellent team. Maybe the Yankees should lace up the skates and get on the ice!
