You had to hear it to believe it: Tony Marinaro, in the middle of a fiery broadcast, announced that it was his last day on earth.
He is so fed up with Martin St-Louis’ decisions that he throws in the towel, still as dramatic as usual.
The trigger? The absence of Jayden Struble in the lineup during CH’s humiliating defeat last night.
Marinaro, visibly in “distress”, decided to make it a radio anthology moment.
With his exasperated tone, he called the cemetery publicly to reserve his spot, as if he were preparing for a live personal burial.

The audience was both dying of laughter and perplexed by this outing worthy of the greatest dramatic films. But Marinaro was not at the end of his delirium: he also called his mother to confirm what he knew deep down — she too would have sent Struble to the ice.
@bpmsportsradio “Even my mother would have played Struble yesterday! » Are you as frustrated as Tony about yesterday’s defeat? ???????? #ch #canadiens #hab ♬ original sound – BPMSPORTSRADIO
Listeners were treated to a true theatrical masterpiece. Marinaro, with excessive intensity, seems so angry with Martin St-Louis, but decided to turn it into a humorous scene.
The show quickly became a cult moment in sports radio. Comments are pouring out on the web.
«Tony, MVP of radio! »
“This guy deserves a statue for entertaining us like that. »
“Struble or nothing!” If Tony dies because of this, let’s rename a street in his honor! »
Yes, Marinaro is still larger than life
Jayden Struble’s absence from the lineup has become a symbol of general frustration among fans.
But where others would have simply criticized the management of St. Louis, Marinaro transformed the indignation into a spectacle.
With his inimitable talent for exaggerating every detail and making every incomprehensible decision more dramatic than an episode of Game of ThronesTony delivered a legendary moment.
Of course, Tony Marinaro is still there. His love of radio drama and CH is stronger than anything.
But one thing is certain: listeners will long remember this day when Tony called the cemetery live, convinced that he could not survive another blunder from Martin St-Louis.
A real show…in every sense of the word. Yes, Tony Marinaro is indeed the “GOAT” of Quebec sports radio.
The greatest of all time.
