jeffy Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 ill support you on the bob cole harry neale thing... Jim Hughson is great on the Western broadcasts, and Dick Irvin would make the Eastern broadcasts worth not watching in mute or french!

gohabsgo252006 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I did it I wrote a short letter inquiring into this matter to CBC. I'm hoping for a response soon. Maybe we'll get to hear Dick Irvin calling the games, that would be too sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobRock Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I'd take Jim Hughson over just about every other play-by-play guy working today. He's certainly better than Gord Miller and any of the rejects that Sportsnet has. Peter Loubardias makes nails on a chaclkboard sound like a symphony orchestra.

GoHabs2002 Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 I'd take Jim Hughson over just about every other play-by-play guy working today. He's certainly better than Gord Miller and any of the rejects that Sportsnet has. Peter Loubardias makes nails on a chaclkboard sound like a symphony orchestra. My favourite Chris Cuthbert from TSN, formerly from CBC. How they saw it justified in letting him go, I don't know! Can create interest with the tone of his voice and the knowledge of current hockey events is only mathced by Miller and Hughson. He and Millen was the one of the reasons I used to (and have since stopped) watch the second half on saturday nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bar Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I don't mind Miller and Macguire(spelling?), but my all time favs are Gary Green and Paul Romaniuk(spelling?). Bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingledoink Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I hate Harry Neale & Bob Cole. So much so, that I've started a petition to have them removed due to their incompetence. http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/fire_old_guys/ Send this to everyone you know!

kaos Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) No Thanks. As bad as they are, they're still better than all the American market annoucers. Those guys are brutal. Ever heard the guy from Pittsburgh. He's brutal. Guy from Buffalo is just as bad. Didn't Foster Hewitt or Danny Gallivan have any sons?

The americans don't have a clue how to produce a hockey game unless some canadians go down to make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
