I won't have to hear about how great he is when he actually isn't anymore. Thank you.
You know what the absolute best part is SSF? Our boy pierre mcguire scoffed at the notion that datsyuk was going to leave back to russia. "ha...we've heard that rumor before. I don't think Datsyuk would do that. Red wings are a class organization..." and it continues like that for an hour.
And what was even better? Pierre Mcguire refuting any concerns about the Boston Bruins. "I firmly believe they'll still make it, they'll figure things out, too much talent and leadership in that dressing room". LOL
Vintage McGuire.
I don't hate Pierre, it's not like he's Damian Cox or anything. just comical
True, i don't hate Mcguire either, he makes alot of good points. But he scoffs a lot at glaringly obvious things. Never once acknowledged that the bruins were in trouble. And the love for babcock, red wings, crosby is overwhelming at times. Still, despite him being an idiot, he was pretty stoked when the sens drafted karlsson and told everyone 'don't worry, he's good!' when most of us didn't know who this scrawny kid from sweden was.spader wrote:
I was just listening to a podcast from the Freakonomics channel (if you travel a lot by car, do yourself a favour and check it out). It was about why so many people who seem to be experts are so often wrong when they try to predict outcomes. The basic conclusions were that "industry experts" are often so arrogant about their status as "experts" that they don't question their beliefs or try to look at data from a different angle.
I think this applies to a billion percent of "hockey experts."
Thanks, I'll definitely check it out. Ppl spend half their days in their car here.
i think he's just like a very knowledgeable fan. he's a bit of a homer for the teams and players he loves and that can be blinding at times. i listen to the things he says about prospects and players as more often then not he's right. he's also wrong at times and it can be pretty comical because he's so sure of himself. you're never gonna find an analyst who's always right(or else he'd be hired as a GM right away) but some are less cocky than others. makes it easier to laugh at them.
