Considered to be an expert analysis, McGuire is far more annoying than even the likes of Don Cherry. Sure, McGuire knows his stuff, but his analysis during gameplay is often completely unnecessary. I'm quite sure he simply likes to hear himself talk.
Apart from his silly "expert analysis", I have one primary bone to pick with McGuire. Now Pierre, I know it's very important that the viewer gets detailed information about the players, but it's way over the top when you mention a player and tell us their home country, junior league team (and former teams if you're really on a roll) and who they've been drafted by, especially when you give us the information before telling us about what the player might just have done. That information would be nice if it were given every once and awhile. But for each player everytime they're mentioned? Come on.
And it is not as if he stops to talk about this information. He speeds through it as if the information is part of the players name. You'd think he had the info right in front of him. Perhaps he does...
In any case, as experts on junior league hockey go, McGuire may simply be trying to outdue his more respectable TSN colleague, Bob McKenzie. I hate to say it, but trying to impress us by adding in these unnecessary quips concerning the players certainly doesn't win you respect in my books; it simply irritates me to the point whereby I cherish the wonderful times when McGuire is silent. Even the repetitive and annoying Tim Horton's ads are less intolerable, and that is really saying something.
