Cole has a great legacy, but in his current incarnation is a dead loss. You learn LESS than nothing about what is going on out there when he is behind the mic, because not only does he stick to pointlessly obvious generalities ('Montreal chips it in...' - yes, Bob, but WHO chipped it in? Who made that play im the Habs' end? Etc.), but he often garbles even those, or is so far behind the play that a blind man would be in another time zone listening to him. He is atrocious.
