Real1 2 Report post Posted December 20, 2009 (edited) I have looked, and looked, and looked some more and cannot find a name to match the voice. So I come here, and hope someone knows. Now, I am talking about the announcer who is making the actual, real time call, not the guy who starts out talking. Please, I hope someone knows.

joshy207 156 Report post Posted December 20, 2009 Yup, that's Cuthbert. Used to be on CBC. They let him go during the lockout. Great announcer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Real1 2 Report post Posted December 20, 2009 I think that he has the PERFECT voice for hockey. I almost wish he was on FSDetoit, but I think Ken and Mickey are the perfect team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I almost wish he was on FSDetoit, but I think Ken and Mickey are the perfect team. cuthbert? his voice is terrible for hockey, and terrible in general, it is like his nose is clogged, but he uses his voice well and is one of the most knowledgeable pbp, but his voice sucks literally.

Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted December 20, 2009 Cuthbert's good, in that he doesn't annoy the crap out of me. If I had my choice, it would be Ken & Mickey broadcasting each and every game. Yeah, maybe because they're a bit homeristic, but c'mon. I'm a Wings fan. Should I expect any less? Of the national (read: Non Wings affiliated) broadcasters, Cuthbert's not bad. Dave Strader would be high on my list. And call me crazy, but I miss the Gary Thorne and Bill Clement duo from the ESPN days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MSMarine 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2009 Doc Emrick is the High King of hockey announcers. To me, there is no comparison...though him calling game 7 has given me that unwanted memory and brought him down just a notch. Seriously, I think he is absolutely perfect...technical, accurate, and great humor and timely one liners to match a distinctive voice. I also like Gary Thorne, and miss the tandem of he and Clemment. A really good team that seemed to call alot of our memorable games on the old hockey night national broadcasts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emerick is a raging homer though, and some of the things he says are idiotic, for instance what is your greatest memory of the Kronwall Havlat hit? "Nicknamed Jay, I wonder why", that is an example of an announcer ruining a call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joshy207 156 Report post Posted December 20, 2009 Emrick is horrible and Thorne is even worse. Those guys are prime examples of why US national hockey coverage sucks. (So are the angry analysts like Melrose and Keith Jones, but that's a whole other topic.) Why Dave Strader isn't the #1 guy on VS. and NBC, I have no idea...

"Nicknamed Jay, I wonder why", that is an example of an announcer ruining a call. yeah, I guess I can see Doc as homerish, but I seldom watch the Devils.. When he is calling the playoffs he has always seemed very neutral, if not preferential to the Wings. It's pretty obvious he is a true historian of the game and recognizes that we have been the capital of hockey in it's recent history. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MannyK 16 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 wow... that guy is really annoying. I'm glad our "homers" don't get that excited about empty net goals... and at least Ken Daniels sounds relatively "excited" when other teams score..... not: BUDAJ DOOWWWWWNN... score.

MannyK 16 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 No, John Forslund is the Canes play-by-play broadcaster. ah... good call. They sound kinda similar, but I looked up some YouTube videos, and they are not the same. haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted December 24, 2009 (edited) Chris Cuthbert is by far my favourite PBP commentator, due to the combination of his knowledge, knowing what to say and when, and of course the tone just strikes me as perfect for hockey. I also like Harry Neale. I do like Gord Miller a lot too... TSN is just perfect in every way, even considering they have Pierre La ******, I honestly think without him it would suck. It's kind of like a movie without an antagonist. Edited December 24, 2009 by BeeRYCE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
