Stupid Crap CBC HNIC Says RE: Habs

[FloJack]

Bob Cole is the reason why this anglophone watches the games on RDS.

Yep, been like that for me since the late 80's, obviously pre-RDS. I think that the newer announcers have gotten so bad that there's a renaissance in thinking he's so great. Cause I really don’t know why his popularity has resurged.

I speak english pretty decently, but I still have no idea how to pronounce the H sound. In french, we add that letter to words that look awkward without it. It has no sound.

Easy. When you say "hahaha" in French, you still put the "H" in it verbally. Otherwise, it would just be saying the letter A three times in a row.

Add that "H" air push in front of words that have them, such as "hungry," and you'll be able to pronounce these words as they should be said.

 

[Hullois]

holy hell!!! is this him being funny, or a homer? jeez. I always watch the games on RDS. I hate most of their usual panel, but game description post-Brunet era are satisfactory

That's some guy making fun of Bob Cole, not Cole himself...


And FWIW Bob Cole is still the best out there, his voice brings so much to the broadcast. I don't care that he doesn't get the players' names right, I can tell who it is just by looking at them skating..

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

When Glen Healey rips on Carey Price saying he is off his game and is going down early etc etc...

Thing about Healy though is he's wildly inconsistent. He'll say Price is the best one game and then rip him in another. And this isn't exclusive to Montreal.

I actually wouldn't mind Healy so much except that he's just so obnoxious. Stock on the other hand is poison.

I've been saying (and reading) this a lot lately but both need to go. They're just terrible.

Bob Cole is the reason why this anglophone watches the games on RDS.

Love Bob Cole. The guy's a legend and the best broadcaster since Gallivan. I don't care if he's senile I love the guy. And he's still the best in the game.

Now I just have to learn how to push air between T and a vowel. Dis is gonna be great!

 

[CrAzYNiNe]

Lol. I might be one of the few that still enjoy Bob Cole. The man is a legend.

If you enjoy absurd babbling... Just because he's a legend doesn't mean he has to continue doing what made him a legend when he is no longer capable of doing it well.

Some sounds are unique to certain languages. Ask any anglophone to do the French "U" sound and they'll say "OU."

Takes a lot of practice, but it's certainly doable, in time. Good luck!

I love watching the Abs on TV with my heyes and listening to them on the radio with my hears!

Oly crap they are ard to watch sometimes.

I ad a ole in my eart when the Abs lost to toronto.

Seriously though this is a common problem for francophones. And it's normal because in French they don't have a hard "H" so they get confused on when to pronounce it and when not to in English.

It is funny to hear though!

But much love to my Francophone brothers and sisters.

I see what's happening on the ice so I don't care about the mistakes he makes. I just need his voice.

 

[Analyzer*]

Bob Cole is losing it. He was good. Now he's just crazy.

 

[Ice Poutine]

I like PJ Stock. I listen to him and just one thing always comes to mind: "Damn that Benoit Brunet is a smart intelligent and well spoken guy!" Listening to that hockey redneck PJ Stock makes me appreciate RDS a lot more...

 

[Hoople]

........

 

[Agnostic]

Am I the only one that misses Harry Neale? Harry was a former English teacher, I enjoyed his sense of humour and colourful use of the language. Some of the expressions that are used in the game today are Neale originals. Yeah he's associated with the Leafs based on his game assignments but he's one of the best.

As long as we don't all sound like GSP...

Isn't Stock on RDS sometimes?

WHAAAAAATT!?!?!



I cant believe that...bob cole is a legend. He's gotta be the best in the business.

 

[thom]

Does someone know why steve Shutt left the broadcasting career he was getting better.I know he became an assistant coach but that didnt last.Does someone know the real reason.

 

[JohnLennon]

I just think it was hilarious when McLean said "those cans" about Andi Petrillo's breasts. Why would he say that on TV?

 

[Krnage]

sometimes hes going to L'Anti-Chambre !

 

[CrAzYNiNe]

Well i guess that works. I'm of the opposite mind frame. I would prefer silence to hearing non sense. To each their own.

 

[Banjo Cat]

I cant stand his voice

Feel like watching a Habs game in the 60's

That's precisely why I love Bob Cole. He has a classic voice. Distinct, clear and resonant. The guy has been making mistakes for years now, though. But I like his voice a lot better than these guys who sound like a hybrid between wrestling announcers and Tonka Truck commercial narrators.

I believe he works for the Sabres now.

Yes he does, but he was a loss to CBC

he was talking about bathroom stalls.

 

[Universe]

Nothing worse than listening to Healy talk about Price. Actually, CBC and TSN analysts talking about Price is pretty much the same recorded message each year. Least others don't act like they were a goalie superstar like Healy does. For someone who did very little in the NHL, he sure is an expert on what Carey is doing wrong.
