Steve Dangle on Bob Cole

[Agnostic]

I think this is brilliant. I like the part where he points out how everyone loves to point out Bob's mistakes. Internet culture mocking internet culture.

Bob Cole is ****ing horrible.

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

Bob Cole is a legend.

 

[Tuggy]

Why is Steve Dangle a thing? Sportsnet is a joke.

Why would anyone care what some idiot from his bedroom thinks?

 

[Habsawce]

Bob Cole will be remembered in hockey for a hundred years.

 

[Habs Icing]

Steve Dangle! Why isn't this guy a NHL hockey player?

 

[CrAzYNiNe]

Bob Cole is a legend. However his shining star is fading with his inability to follow the play and say some of the most ridiculous things. He reminds me a lot of Madden at the end. Madden stayed far too long and so has Cole.

He would have been remembered better had he retired 10 years ago.

The voice makes up for it. Half the time every commentator is talking out their ass anyway, why not have someone that can create excitement with his voice alone instead of some contrived sense of rivalry that isn't there being forced down your throat by run of the mill guys.

Also, for this reason I like Doc Emerick as well.

Bob Cole is hockey. Bob Cole is life.

Boring... No thank you. To each their own.

 

[ZUKI]

who 's Bob Cole ?

 

[Hullois]

I'll switch to the English network if Bob Cole is calling the game. And I love Pierre Houde. But Cole's voice was made for hockey.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Bob Cole is a legend.

Some people think so. But he's been among the very worst for at least 15 years.

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

Some people think so. But he's been among the very worst for at least 15 years.

I didn't say he was good, he's still a legend though.

Dick Irvin Jr is the true voice of hockey

Dick Irvin Jr is the true voice of hockey

Irvin was a better colour guy than PxP. You're thinking of Danny Gallivan, or you should be. They were a fantastic team.

 

[NoNachoNoParty]

Its all about Pierre Houde. And i hate watching hockey in French

To each his own.

 

[Frankenheimer]

People that focus on Cole's mistakes are missing the big picture of what Bob Cole offers.

Play by play broadcasting is very hard and its remarkable that he still does it so well. I mean try it for like 30 seconds in your own home with the sound off, im sure you'll be mostly saying "Subban gets the puck, Subban passes to Markov, Markov skates with it, now he shoots, and boom goes the dynamite." What a broadcaster does is add detail to each of these actions and Cole still does that very well, even if he occasionally gets the players wrong. He adds a lot of nuance still to descriptions. Plus the "oh babys!"and "it takes a funny hop!"


Have you ever talked with an 80 year old? Things slow down a lot. This isn't Vin Scully calling a lazy afternoon ball game.

Dick Irvin did play by play on CJAD radio for the longest time.

I loved the duo of Irvin and Steve Shutt.

Justify it.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Justify it.

listen to him.

he is always a few seconds behind the play. mispronounces all the names. calls players by the wrong name. seems confused by what's happening half the time.

 

[Frankenheimer]

Pierre Houde and Danny Dubé are also outstanding.

Dubé can make anybody nervous.

 

[Braun]

Pierre Houde and Danny Dubé are also outstanding.

Dubé can make anybody nervous.

You mean Martin McGuire right?

I agree with you Habsawce. No announcer is perfect - and it's so easy to be a bitter hater on the internet - but I like both these guys. They add excitement to the game.
