Mathew Barzal Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Probably because I'm a new generation fan but I can't and never could stand Bob Cole or his commentary style. I hope he never commentates a playoff game again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 The sad part is that they replaced Bob Cole with Paul Romanuk who literally makes nails scraping chalkboards more preferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 No offence to Bob Cole but I am thinking these broadcasts could use more John and John. Didn't realize how good we had it until we/I were subjected to some of these other fellows. These National broadcasters are pretty terrible overall.

6string Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I quit on Cole in 94 WCF, he had a massive man crush for " and Gilmour", the puck was often closer to the Canuck player or had it on his stick. I watch online and enjoy Emrick on NBC and others and don't miss the Leaf, Habs or Alberta bias at all. Ron and Don I can't stomach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck73_3 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I'd take Cole over Romasuck and Randork anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 This is why I always admired Jim Robson. He probably could still call games. But he was finding harder and harder to do. As the ultimate professional and his drive to make the great call, he retired. Just like the Sedins he went out before he started making mistakes. Why doesn't Sportsnet/CBC hire Gord Miller?

Lafayettecrossbar Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Puts it in perspective how the Sedins were able to retire on their own terms. Bob Cole is a great voice but I personally feel like it's time to make Hughson the elder statesman broadcaster. The writing is on the wall for Cole. Wish him the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when the Canucks do win a cup, it's void because Cole didn't call it? Hockey moved on Foster Hewitt. Personally I'm surprised that Joe Bowen isn't calling more games.

Kragar Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I was never a Bob Cole fan, but the more exposed I got to American announcers, I can appreciate him a little more than before. But way too Leafs-focused, but that covers a large group of people. Doc Emrick . That voice should not be broadcast beyond the Eastern states.

Have felt that way since the mid 90s. I just fell in love with you a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
