[BobCole]

I've yet to see Gretz on ESPN this season, nor have I seen any chatter about him.

How often is he on? How's he been?

As far as a commentator goes, I think he's the great one.

He’s done 50 episodes in 39, that’s all I know. And every one in amazing style.

f***, Gretzky can re-create the samsquatch into back bacon

 

[CartographerNo611]

I don’t think Gretzky even knows with all that Pink Whitney flowing through his veins.

In all seriousness I have no clue how he is doing.

The Grate One.

Reading through this thread, has no one actually seen him yet?

 

[Zach716]

I expect his performance is somewhere between his playing career and his coaching career.

The proud 99 brand is being dragged down by TNT's galaxy of clownish dirtbags

I only saw him once early in the season with Melrose and Chelios. He was boring. Just praised everyone with vague platitudes.

Classic Gretzky.

He has done better then I thought actually. The panel is not the greatest and could use a little more character which would help Gretz.

Gretz see's the game like no one else ever will but is a very nice and polite gentlemen. Does not always translate well as analyst. He is a better analyst then coach however.

 

[BobCole]

Hmph, I assumed I hadn't seen him because I haven't watched too many games this year. It seems very few people here have seen him at all...how often is he on???

 

[Super Hans]

Am I really going to be the first one to mention he's on TNT and not ESPN?

 

[Kcoyote3]

He’s fine

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

Gretzky thinks that’s the best observation he’s ever seen here.

 

[jetsforever]

Regardless of how "good" he is though, his comments about hockey will always be interesting because of who he is. I'm never going to complain if Wayne Gretzky is discussing something about the NHL.

This may be why the thread has gone the way it has lmao

He's too nice to be objective. I mean I don't think he's said anything negative about a person that I can recall.

If you don't count the New Jersey Devils franchise... ; )

Goat... But personality of a door knob. Similar to McDavid just straight boring.

Why I like Bieksa

Ferraro is in the same mold, and is the best personality in Hockey Media in my opinion. I really miss his daily Overdrive appearences.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Hard to say. It felt like he took November and December off. It was a 4-man panel for a while.

Biz will be the straw that stirs the drink. He gives it that fun, but not forced vibe like so few in sports broadcasting are capable of. Fringe player, all-star camera presence.

Aah the Mickey Mouse comment haha forgot about that but he was playing then I believe since retiring he's a saint.
