Paul Bissonnette Roasts Himself on Live Broadcast With Comments on the Hockey Hall of Fame
NHL analyst Paul Bissonnette roasted himself on live television last night as he finished Henrique Lundqvist's chirp for him, taking the words right out of his mouth.
The two former NHLers were part of the TNT crew covering last night's game between the Colorado Avalanche and LA Kings, which the Avalanche won 4-2 thanks to Mikko Rantanen's hat-trick. During one of the intermission reports, the guys brought up the Hockey Hall of Fame and Henrique Lundqvist proceeded to roast Biz.
Biz: "Clown."
Hank: "I was going to say that!"
Biz: "Yeah? There you go, I'm a mind-reader. Wait until we get out of this segment, I'll have you in a headlock, squeaking your nose!"
Hank: "That's unbelievable, I thought about clowns. I really was going to say that."
Fans in the replies sided with Hank, agreeing that Biz is a clown. He does seem to fill the comic relief role on television, which he does very well. At least he is self aware about it all.
Part of what makes Biz so entertaining is his willingness to share opinions that do get him called a clown at times. Recently, Bissonnette suggested that Kyle Dubas trade Sidney Crosby which naturally drew much ire from Penguins fans.
These are the exact kinds of opinions that would get Biz out in the clown hall of fame. It seems rather clear that Crosby has no intention of ever leaving Pittsburgh.
Takes like this do usually get a lot of attention though and Biz doesn't seem to mind the drama. He even reposted the tweet of him getting roasted last night!
Regardless of your opinion of Biz, you have to admit he does make for good television. He has great chemistry with the rest of the table regardless of who is with him and he's not afraid to do something a little crazy.
