Good for Mears. His goal calls aren’t great but he can call a good game and overall seems like a good dude.

 

[Jacob]

Good for him. A nice guy and I don't mind his PBP at all.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

I miss Errey so much. Mears was whatever but good for him.

 

[Sideline]

I miss Errey so much. Mears was whatever but good for him.

We're going to need to Errey type energy in the years to come.

 

[PenguinSuitedUp]

Thank God. His pbp was so vanilla it was grating.

 

[Victor Z]

I wish him well in Columbus.

Mears isn't exactly exceptional at what he does, but he was the BEST of what we had here in Pittsburgh and what remains is worse than bottom-of-the-barrel.

Maybe when the Pens are having difficulty filling seats for home games, even after giving tickets away to children who spend the entire game twiddling on their iPhones instead of actually watching what's happening on the ice, they could try this for a promotion:

"Come see the Penguins in person! Otherwise you'll have to watch the TV broadcast or listen to the radio!"

 

[OnMyOwn]

He would NOT be denied!

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

lol people thought Mears was terrible and then we got what we got last year.

 

[Fiji Water]

Mears is about as exciting as a lightly salted rice cake

 

[Turin]

I miss Errey so much. Mears was whatever but good for him.

He needs to come back. Bourque tries too hard, Errey is way better colour.

 

[Fordy]

errey is the only one that could bring some levity to the coming years. instead we'll have bourque getting way too mad even though we're past the point where it's worth the anger and rupp who is the equivalent of pointing a mic at a painted wall drying

 

[Ugene Magic]

I'm happy for him, thought he would end up back at the NHL-Network.

Just talking hockey and being a play by play guy are two very distinctly different things.

So.... CBJ...!

 

[SomeDude]

Mears is the Columbus Blue Jackets of broadcasters so this fits like a glove.

 

[Goalie_Bob]

The best signing is that Harkins has supposedly signed in Anaheim. I don't care how bad the play by play guy is, they have nothing to do with the product on the ice, eg Harkins.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

I wish him well in Columbus.

Mears isn't exactly exceptional at what he does, but he was the BEST of what we had here in Pittsburgh and what remains is worse than bottom-of-the-barrel.

You might even get to call a game live!

 

[66-30-33]

They also signed Jack Johnson. Pens are paying him more to GTFO.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Bring back Paul Steigerwald!!!

He’s always been a derp, but if it meant more hilariously offensive Hobey Baker-esque blunders, then f*** it…bring him back dirt cheap!!

That alone would be more entertaining than whoever we’ll have now/watching another tired year of “Sullivan Hockey”
