I don't know how to feel about this.

Cuthbert is amazing but Sportsnet is Sportsnet.

 

[Del Preston]

Only downside is he won't be doing CFL games anymore.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Massive addition for Sportsnet! About damn time they did something right.

Surprising because he always made it known he stayed at TSN because he could continue covering the CFL. But he probably sees the writing on the wall for that league, and jumped ship.

Watching a Sportsnet broadcast just got a whole lot better.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Please, for the love of God, put him on the top national team and move Hughson back West.

 

[Mobiandi]

This will be big for the playoffs. He's too good to be calling Dallas-Nashville on USA network

 

[Mightygoose]

Big gain for Sportsnet. I looked at him at Bob Cole's successor at HNIC at one time.

Even if he's #2 behind Hughson, the SN production got a major upgrade today

But I don't want to be stuck with the scrubs like Millbury and mcguire

omgomgomgomgomgomg....


Does this mean I might be hearing him do Cup games??



No I don't think Cuthbert is the greatest but he is damn good enough for me to watch games just so I can listen to him because I think he is by FAR the most charming sportscaster in the NHL business. Give him time and he's gonna grow on you. He is God compared to Doc's nails on a chalkboard shrieking, somber "They've won the Stanley Cup" announcements and tiring encyclopedic use of synonyms.


For all the right reasons he's like the most Canadian thing ever and it feels so right to hear him call history.

 

[Kranix]

finally.
Best in the biz

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Just fire Hughson into the sun really. Cuthbert should immediately slot in as their number 1.

 

[NegativeNelly]

I hope they get more TSN guys...

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Never knew people were this obsessed with Cuthbert lol... I'm sure I'd recognize the face and voice if I saw it but off top on my head I dont know who it is

I better get on Google asap

 

[Satoru Gojo]

Is TSN cheap or something?

Whoa, what! Never expected him to jump. Seemed like TSN was still supporting all their talent. Would have figured more would have jumped initially after the NHL acquiring. I wonder if he will become the main HNIC guy?

CC, Ray and Gord were the best TSN had for announcers/PBP, in my opinion.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

No doubt he's going to do national games but I wonder if he'll be slotted into a regional spot at the beginning of next season?

 

[dahrougem2]

Let's hope he takes Jim Hughson's job. God that man can turn the greatest game in history into a snoozefest because he isn't interested in the two teams playing if they aren't the Leafs or Canucks.

 

[GetFocht]

this is a HUGE addition, he is the best commentator out there. I hope he calls Canucks games.

 

[Hitman77]

Cuthbert is a huge pick up for Sportsnet. He's an instant upgrade over the monotone Hughson. Listening to Hughson puts me to sleep.

He called a rather big game in Vancouver 2010.

I guess I just never put names to faces lol... only one I have is the legendary Bob Cole!

Sucks for TSN and regional broadcasting in Canada. Along with Gord Miller, Ray Ferrarro, and Jamie Noodles McClennan (a tier below those guys but he is always improving), TSN had the formidable crew as gold standard of hockey commentary. Would be a hard guy to replace.

Also heard that Bob McKenzie will be retiring some point in the near future?

Sportsnet needs more guys like him, and more solid hockey people with all due respect to Kelly Hrudey. If McKenzie retires, they will have the next best guy in Elliotte Friedman who has improved each and every year.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

the best there is! what a get for Sportsnet

hopefully less Dave Ransdorf

 

[super6646]

And ofc this comes at the time SN is considering dropping flames games...

Ffs!
