Wake Up With Some All-Time Awkward Pierre McGuire Moments

We received the unfortunate report yesterday that our sweet prince Pierre McGuire has gotten the boot from NBCSN’s #1 hockey broadcast crew. It was just a report and we’re still not sure what his role will be moving forward, but it was a big time gut punch. You didn’t have to “like” Pierre McGuire. You didn’t have to “respect” Pierre McGuire. But you had to love the guy. Every friend group has a Pierre McGuire. The guy who shows up and everybody rolls their eyes and groans because you thought you all made a promise not to invite him. The guy who you have to warn all your other friends about before meeting him if the two friend groups end up crossing paths. The guy who annoys the shit out of you but he’s still your guy so you’ve got unconditional love for him. Doesn’t mean that you like the guy, but only you can make fun of him. Pierre McGuire was our annoying and creepy friend in the group. So to celebrate the end of an era, I figured we’d reminisce on some of the most bizarre moments from Pierre throughout the years.
