I will miss having to explain his style to friends

I'll miss being confused by whether Duguay reminds me of an aging Henrik Lundqvist, or a PG version of the Buffalo Bill dance scene from Silence of the Lambs.

You can't hold a chair down forever Doogs. We have other retirees to support. As long as it's not Anson Carter replacing him. I hope they give Valiquette more airtime. He's one of the best new guys at breaking down the subtleties of the game.

 

[RangerLifer]

This sucks.

 

[NYRFAN218]

Good Ranger but contributed nothing on the broadcast outside of generic statements with no substance. Broadcast is better off now.

 

[LGRDunDunDunDunDa]

Love Duggie

 

[lucky13]

I’ve got nothing against RG... and he always seemed to be good to the fans.... but overall I always thought that the Pre and Post game shows could def do better....
Like someone else said his commentary was always so generic and premixed.

 

[Inferno]

I always cringed when I saw him. Happy he's gone tbh

 

[Joey Bones]

Best in your endeavors Duguay!!

Now MSG should get someone that is more lively like Valiquette!!

 

[NYR94]

Reminded me of an older bon jovi but not as lame.

 

[Overcast]

He was doing this stuff for 12 years..? Or was a bulk of that just other things for/with the organization aside from the game broadcasts? Either way, just give me more Valiquette.

 

[SML2]

He's like a mashup of Keith Richards and Larry from Three's company who likes to talk about hockey. That Sassoon commercial should have gotten him thrown out of the Garden for life if you ask me. Lol. Thanks for playing Doogie. Hope he has a good long life doing something he enjoys.

 

[haohmaru]

I like Duguay but I won’t miss him in TV. Not even a little bit.

 

[chosen]

Didn't like him as a player. Didn't care about him on the broadcast.

Would you puck me?

MSG will be hiring a new analyst to replace Duguay. Anson Carter anyone?

I wish Valliquette would get a job with the team. His insights are pretty unique and seemingly would be helpful to a team. But yeah, for now I'm happy have him on the air, he adds a lot to the broadcast.

Please

Sean Avery will be announced this afternoon as the replacement. They will also coincidentally be instituting a new behind the scenes pre pre-game and post post-game reality segment called ‘what will he say today’ and ‘what he said today’ respectively, as well as a 10 minute tape delay.

They will also be split screening the second period with a new segment called ‘Sean Avery’s Sloppy Second Periods’.

The irony is that Anson wasn't great and got upgraded to national (NBCSN and NBC).

Which is accurate, because our second periods have inhaled.

Every time my wife saw Duguay on TV, she would tell me about being repulsed by his ill-fitting suit jackets, which made his gut stick out.

My wife was very entertained by his outfits and really got into it after he went on her favorite reality show ‘What Not to Wear’ (your whole wardrobe Ron)

I don't know if that second part of your statement is a joke, but I'm very entertained nevertheless.
