CBC’s Jeff Marek (@jeffmarek) did an interview with Brad May on HNiC Radio the other day.  They covered a multitude of topics, from the disallowed goal against Dallas, Battle of the Blades, to tossing the bucket during a fight, and wearing visors (it cracks me up that May wears his windshield pushed up, like Kronwall.  Like that’s going to really help).

I remember when we first acquired May, and he did an intermission interview with FS Detroit.  I was extremely and pleasantly surprised with how articulate and well-spoken May is.  To put on my publicist hat for a moment, he’s a fantastic interview, and should be at the top of the list for any media outlet looking for someone to talk current hockey topics and share a few anecdotes.

Hockey players are fairly bland interviewees, playing it safe with clichés.  They also use the word “obviously” way too often (though I can’t blame them when they’re asked questions whose answers are ridiculously apparent).  May doesn’t really rock the boat with sound bites ala Jeremy Roenick, but he’s thoughtful with his answers, and clearly has his opinions on several topics in hockey.  He also doesn’t mumble, which is always a bonus.  I could very easily see May doing some form of broadcasting when his playing career is over (he has a good voice for radio).

I can’t embed the interview, so here’s the link: HNIC Radio
