NHL commentator Pierre McGuire came under fire for his “cringeworthy” interactions with Olympic women's hockey gold medalist Kendall Coyne Schofield, who was working as an analyst during Wednesday night’s game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Tampa Bay Lightning. Coyne Schofield, 26, joined McGuire for NBC Sports Network’s “Wednesday Night Hockey” pregame coverage, and during the broadcast, McGuire, 57, appeared to attempt to coach Coyne Schofield. On Thursday, Coyne Schofield tweeted that she had a great time working as an analyst on Wednesday night. “Thank you NBC Sports for the opportunity to be an analyst on [Wednesday Night Hockey] alongside the best linemates in the business. "I've known Pierre McGuire for years," Coyne Schofield wrote.
