No, reading is overrated.You don't read articles huh?

His reputation is fine lolIt's just a shame he's retiring after letting his reputation take such a beating instead of before.
The article states that he'll be doing the 10 games in the first half of the season. They don't mention what games (minus his 1st of 10) but I wouldn't be surprised if most of them are in Oct and Nov.No, reading is overrated.
But, seriously, that is how he should be sent off. If that isn't, Rogers is tone deaf.
I checked it out after you pointed it out.The article states that he'll be doing the 10 games in the first half of the season. They don't mention what games (minus his 1st of 10) but I wouldn't be surprised if most of them are in Oct and Nov.
And I'm just guessing, but I'd bet that has a lot to do with winter travel for someone whose 85 years old.

Even if they do the games in the first half, they'd be smart to just give him the Leafs/Habs saturday night which is the last game of the season and is in Montreal. I'm pretty sure he's based out of the GTA, so that shouldn't be hard travel. Just bring him back for one night to do that and give him a proper send off. He shouldn't go out doing a game HNIC has relegated to 3rd or 4th tier status such as Ottawa playing some American team. A guy with his credentials, and what he means to Hockey Night in Canada should go out covering the two iconic Canadian teams that have been the two staples of Hockey Night in Canada.
I think for the 9 or so games that's fine. But, I think he deserves a Leafs game to go out on. The Habs would just be the most fitting opponent.I'm going to disagree... I don't care if Cole is getting the 3rd game on a HNIC in November as his final game, I do get the sentiment of having him do an Original Six game that matters, but he's also 85 years old. I think there should always be a preserving the legacy.
I know it's not the same, but my lasting memory of Gordie Howe is him not knowing where to stop on the carpet at the Centennial Classic. I feel the same whenever they walk Ted Lindsay out to do, anything.
If Bob Cole has a rough time calling the Habs/Sabres in November as his last game, it's a missed moment, and the highlights will point to his few good calls for that game. If it's national Habs/Leafs and he butchers the whole game there's a whole younger generation that will question who the idiot in the booth was. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying I can see him doing his 10 games quietly and then having a Bob Cole Night after the All-Star break where he calls a period or something.
I don't need him to finish the season in order for me to remember him as the best broadcaster of his time.
