I was sitting next to Pierre in our TSN studio above the draft floor. As each team passed on Zach, Pierre’s anxiety was building. He just didn’t understand a pick he felt for a few teams should have been obvious. As for the Islanders, it was really bad timing - because of his father being J.P., because of the skill, because he seemed to land in the Islanders’ lap. I tell you, it was like Mount Vesuvius with Pierre. What I remember most is you at the bottom of the platform playfully pleading with Gord Miller to try to get Pierre to calm down. "Stop! Alright already"!

Chris Botta relays Bob McKenzie's tale about how Pierre McGuire has no concept of restraint, tact, or when to shut the hell up.

I resemble that comment

The fact that I don’t yell things like “MONSTER” or “WHAMMO” is in my favor though.

By the way, I don’t know why he was so upset about Parise falling past #15. I think it was a smart decision.

It just gets so repetitive with him. Yes, it sucks that Parise fell in the draft but if Gord Miller, who puts up with you during everything related to hockey, thinks that you need to shut up then that should tell you something.

I under stand that. That’s why I said that he wouldn’t. This:

Was directed to Pierre McGuire not Fischer.
