Confirmed with Link: Mears and Errey fired

[SomeDude]

Bc she's cute?
I mean that seems to be really the only trait teams look for

Explains why Potash is seemingly bullet proof I guess.

The young people like him.

It’s nice to be young again, but can someone please tell my knees?

Wait till you throw your back out laughing.

Dude, when I either bend or stretch my knees nowadays it sounds like somebody crushing an empty plastic water bottle. Makes me nervous laugh every time it happens.

Luckily these changes will help minimize the laughing in my life. Pens looking out for my safety in my old age.

I know someone who has worked with her on the Golf Channel and he said she'll be very good in this role.

Where in the message is that referenced or implied?

My brother had that happen from sneezing.

I want an absolutely insane homer, but an entertaining one. I don't give a shit about fairness or complimenting the opposing team. I want a guy that talks about how Voráček looks like a goat who got into crossfit.

Sometimes it feels like some people want something like Tortorella on play-by-play, and a clone of Tortorella (or Brandon Dubinsky, or something) on color just so they'll get someone who rips and insults the team and org non-stop.

Sullivan hockey is like baby aspirin. Keeps the reaper away for another week, but doesn't do anything for the pain.

I think a lot of people just want some weird internet "being a fan the right way" points.

I'm still not getting it. Responded to me where? Post number ITT?

Maybe you have them blocked

Just checked and I do have that poster blocked.

Because she's cute? He knew her in a professional context so I doubt it.

 

[gopens66]

I dunno. But every game Errey acted like scrubs like Archibald could change the entire game by throwing a cheap shot on the other team.

I feel like Armstrong would do that.

Army did that all the time. Then he nearly killed a guy and looked lost out there. Then he got traded.........

Penguins announce that color commentator spot for TV games will be a rotation between Phil Bourque, Colby Armstrong and Mike Rupp.

 

[FlightlessBird]

So are all three guys going to rotate between tv and radio? Who’s doing color on radio when Bourque is on tv? Very weird setup. But I’m not upset about any of the guys brought in.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Meh. I can understand why people aren't Errey's biggest fan but it kinda sucks he took the lone axe.

Armstrong is OK and will probably only get better. All of Bourque, Rupp, and Caufield are definitely not my cup of tea.

I think my perfect setup for the tv side would have been Getzoff with Errey remaining as color guy, and then the rotation of the other 3 being between the benches. I think someone should be between the benches every game (or at least every home game). It gives a different perspective than being up in the booth.

I never watch Pregame, Between periods or Postgame I don't need someone to tell what is about to happen, what is happening or what happened

He didn't mention her appearance at all. Quote from what he said:

I don't think she'll be donning a Princess Leia outfit for Star Wars theme night like Potash would but I think she'll bring a little bit more substance to the games. I'm very happy for her as she's been busting her butt the last year or so trying to break into something like this.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Rupp and Armstrong coming in for a full time role makes a lot of sense to me, especially Rupp. I don't fully understand why Bourque is seemingly going to jump between the radio broadcasts and NHL broadcasts, though.

It's not unusual to have different play by play guys for games, the Pirates have 2 main play by play guys and 6 other guys who alternate in with those 2 play by play guys. I imagine they'll do something similar with Getzoff as the play by play guy and have Rupp, Armstrong and Bourque rotate in with him and between the benches.
