Pierre McGuire has been reportedly removed from NBC's number 1 NHL Broadcast team. The Athletic's Rick Carpiniello quotes a source as saying McGuire will still work NHL games for NBC, but Brian Boucher will be on the top team with Mike "Doc" Emrick and Ed Olczyk.
McGuire joined NBC on a part-time basis when it acquired the NHL's US broadcasting rights in 2006. The 58-year-old started working for them full-time in 2011.
McGuire was forced to apologize to gold medalist Kendall Coyne Schofield after telling her "Tampa's gonna be on your left, Pittsburgh's gonna be on your right" during a game last January.
