ESPN Wants Gretzky in Broadcasting Role


Phil

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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.

Lol when was he ever confrontational or an asshole on the air? So he was a dog off the air, who gives a fuck?

Probably Denis Potvin? He was a color guy for the Panthers. And was fucking atrocious at it.
