Vodka Drunkenski Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Has he ever done any broadcasting? Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karan Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Terrible idea aside from the name. Gretz is a complete bore to listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High and Wide Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Aside from the fact that he isn't exactly fun to listen to, I feel like this is beneath him. I have a hard time believing that "The Great One" would consider taking a job in broadcasting. Like who is the closest all-time great who made the switch to commentator?

Cash or Czech Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Who would the Tony Romo of hockey be? Guy that had a decent career, can read the game incredibly well, and communicate it to the audience in a fun and enjoyable manner? Certainly isn't Gretzky.

He and Theissman were the only two that came to mind. Maybe Phil Esposito? But he has personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirtyONE Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Jeremy Roenick, but, we know how that went. The equivalent of Romo would be someone with a wholesome, non-confrontational personality. People confuse being an asshole with having a personality. Problem with the NHL, is I honestly can't think of anyone who has a personality.

Patrick Bateman Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Need Tim Stapleton to get some love, that dude was the funny Chiclets guest by a margin.

Phil Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 I mean, if they want to actaully have fun, they need the guys who actually have it, not the squares like Gretzky. Their #1 target should be BizNasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
