NBC Sports “sideline” reporter Pierre McGuire delivered a painfully awkward interview with Jonathan Toews after the Blackhawks’ 6-3 win over the Penguins on Wednesday.
McGuire first dismissed interviewing forward Andreas Martinsen, who had his first multipoint game in the NHL with a goal and assist and was named the game’s No. 1 star. It’s customary for the game’s top player to talk to a reporter such as McGuire after the game, so that was the first weird part.
But McGuire took it to a new level when he started his interview with Toews.
