Or when LA won the cup in OT "The Los Angeles Kings have won the Stanely Cup" which he does every year..
What did you want him to say?

I don't know something not boring? Look at Emrick's call on the goal vs. Hughson's. Once again, Hughson has to pause to think of what he's going to say.. Emrick is just emotion.What did you want him to say?

When it's an OT goal to win the cup, absolutely not. When there's a countdown in the last 10 seconds of the game it's fine.So when a team wins the cup you don’t want the announcer to say “they have just won the Stanley cup?”

Hughson is just not original.
Jim Hughson is the best announcer in hockey AINEC. Cant believe people are actually saying negative **** about him ITT. I guess it's the HF way though, hate on everybody just cause.
Says the Canucks fan.
Hughson sounds like a constipated asexual robot. Cuthbert and Cole still have the best voices in the game. Honorable mention to Miller.

@Killion My understanding was Nancy Lee who ran CBC then wanted a Vancouver based announcer because it would cost less. Turns out for the 2010 Olympics she gave men's hockey to Cuthbert.
The man is happiest when he calls CFL games.
Yeah you're probably the 15th person to @ me with the hilarious response of "hyuk hyuk says the canucks fan hyuk hyuk"
Go talk **** somewhere else. Bunch of fat neck beards on this forum cant give guys like hughson who hasn't been anything but a professional his entire career credit.
If you prefer other announcers that's fine, everyone has their opinion, doesn't mean you have to be a complete piece of **** and call someone a "constipated asexual robot" or tear the guy down for no reason. have some respect.

Hughson gets **** on because he's garbage. Monotone. No excitement. Annoying pompous sounding voice. Poor analysis. Its fitting that he calls games with Craig Simspon who is a complete idiot himself.
He's not impartial and he's proud of it. He doesn't give a ****.
Canucks fans like Jim Hughson - thats it.
He's good...... Just a bit bland.
I remember while ago he talked about how he didn't want to be that guy who is known for some punchline. It explains why he stopped saying "thaaaats hockey"
Anybody who remembers him from his tsn days will tell you that he was fun to listen to. I'm guessing that he's trying so hard not to become some caricature, that he actually goes the other way, and becomes a bit vanilla.
Jim Hughson used to do Blue Jays games in the early 1990's on TSN. Plus he did some hockey games for TSN before switching to be the primary Canucks play by play guy for Sportsnet before the switch.
