Hey, at least Hughson is a part of that duo. Bob Cole talks about players not even in the game. Says a player passes the puck up the ice to himself...

Depends.
1) Are you a between the ages of 45-65?
2) Do you have strongly held yet everchanging and baseless opinions on anything hockey related?
3) Are you an ex-NHL enforcer?
4) Are you so unable to write a simple opinion piece that you have to have a nameless young person write your articles for you?
If you answered yes to all four questions, then you might be on your way to a great job
#2 is damn funny!
Another quality, you were once involved in hockey (probably the Nordiques) back in the 70's, have not spent one second researching players/tactics since then, and have not made one friend in hockey that is not within a 2 hour drive.

I'm still a huge Cole fan, but I'd rank Cuthbert number 1 rather easily. Hughson is terrible imo.

"Wanna go, Prettyboy?"
Healy played over his head to allow the Islanders upset the Penguins, but he hardly delivered dazzling play that spring.
He finished that playoff with a 9-8 record, a 3.19 GAA and an .887 save percentage. His play against the Canadiens in the semi-finals was nothing short of mediocre.
His biggest accomplishment was opening the bench door. He also only got the job at cbc because he played in toronto. He's an idiot.

He was comparing to DD.
I think Stock does okay language wise on AC, it's hockey vocab they're not discussiing Prust.
My take is CBC figures RDS serves most of the Habs base, so they (CBC) can get behind whatever other team. Because they sure aren't behind the Habs most of the time.
Man during the Pens vs Habs series back in 2010 it was all pro pens talk. It bugged the heck out of me

Oh god no, you're not going there.
But the reason most people that like Bob Cole do is the vintage feel. Nostalgia. However, he's now unable to follow a Hockey game thoroughly enough to comment on it on TV. And for someone that's 30 like me (and french speaking to boot), who doesn't have the nostalgia effect, it means he makes me physically cringe in a way Brunet could never, even with his OYYOYOYYEGROBONOMM.
So, yeah. I think he had a good run, and should retire. But HNIC as a whole really needs to find talented new blood and stop giving time to friends and insiders in the business. As is RDS - Pierre isn't eternal.
The biggest problem I have about CBC is that they need a total retool. New play by play guys, analyst etc. They have a great brand in Hockey Night In Canada but after that there isn't too much asides form the intro's that are worth watching. Asides from Elliotte Friedman their so called "insider" panel is pretty much a joke.

So do a lot of other people, including those who are FAR better suited for a commentator job rather than Glenn Healy.
As has been alluded to, he is a chatty ex-Leaf so he gets a Hockey Night in Toronto gig.

I can forgive CBC if they keep giving Andi P. some screen time.
i cant forgive them for cramming Cherry on TV each week with his often idiotic senile remarks, his incessant cheesy sounding American style patriotism and his boundless Maple Leafs love.

Stupid things CBC HNIC does.
Always making the early Saturday game a Leaf one. Outside of the "home game" geographicical sphere we should have a choice. ********rs.
