I don't know... apparently somewhere along the line Detroit turned into the new jersey devils. I guess they're not taking being mediocre too well. They've gone scorched earth.

I don't see 6 goals coming from the sens tonight. Watching this is like taking a cold shower after that caps game.

Kuba with the brutal clearing attempt leads to Detroit's 3rd goal, second one on the PP.

This is the Leafs game all over again. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.

Much, much self inflicted pain. Spezza and Kovalev trying to stick handle through 2 or 4 players again and again and again. 2 of the 3 goals self inflicted. The net mess on the first goal that should not have even been a scoring chance, and Michalek farting around with the puck at his blueline on the PK. The third was a good heads up pass to catch Ottawa on the line change, that wasn't played to well by the Sens.

Cole is a running joke. When the play is quick he just makes stuff up because he has no clue what is going on. Really, really sad to hear him.

terrible on the road

And with Buffalo beating SJ, the Sens go back to 5th.

Losing this game and dropping to 5th wouldn't be so bad except Buffalo still have 2 games in hand.

Detroit's a good team with as many elite players as any team in the league. I just don't like how this 3-1 game seems like an inevitable loss and has since Detroit first scored.

When teams are playing defensive they can't keep falling into the habit of turnovers at the offensive blue line and penalties because they get so frustrated.

I hope CBC gives Cole a slight push into retirement this summer.

Cole was absolutely brutal again tonight. An orgasm for each Wings goal and many Howard saves. Not to mention the constant mistakes. Kept calling Spezza as the goal scorer. The camera shows Regin after the goal, he still says Spezza. They show Regin actually score, still he says Spezza.

It's time to put him out to pasture. A large part of the legacy he may have had has been ruined over the last few years. He's just a joke now.

I'm a newfoundlander and people are proud of Cole here. I think he's terrible. He's just so slow witted and lazy nowadays. There are a dozen moments every game he calls where I think, "really Bob? is that the best thing you could think of?". It's like he wings it every time he opens his mouth. The pregnant pauses in the middle of a sentence then the confused, cliched, redundant statement. Earlier tonight he said something like "these olympics... are shaping up to be the best olympics... in winter olympics history". There's no sharper way to say that? It took like 30 seconds.

Terrible game by the Sens. No effort. No energy. No entertainment value. Really bad.

The only thing 'good' about Cole's call tonight was that Healy wasn't on to egg him on. Cole speaks less when he doesn't have one of his cohorts (Healy, Millen) with him to get topics started for him.

So, yeah, nothing good to say about the broadcast tonight.

OS · « **Reply #32 on:** February 14, 2010, 12:56:21 AM »

Cole is just so far past his prime or even being competent it is just sad to listen to. I don't even get p'oed anymore, the people responsible for letting him continue should be ashamed. HNIC puts its cronies above standards, even if it diminished them.

Sens lost, Sharks lost, Caps lost (shootout). Teams shutting down for the Olympics?

I was thinking the same, then again 3 new faces in the lineup could be enough to screw up chemistry for now.

And against a smooth team like Detroit, it can make you look pretty silly (which happened last night).

Nobody else noticed that McGuire's magic word of the night was "sequence"? I swear every time he opened his mouth sequence came out. He must have used it three to four times describing EVERY play.

Which game are you referring to? Thursday night?

Good question. I guess he wasn't between the benches last night?

The CBC did not bother to assign anyone between the benches for last night's game in Detroit. Garry Galley was the colour man for Bob Cole with the call last night.
