hey, Mike "Myers" is in the montage, lol ....he didn't have his Wayne's World (or REM) guitar

great clip of Cornell with young Darryl Sittler!

i liked the towel with the real hockey stick HNIC logo, not the exploding C pumpkin ...they are right, the towel on the shoulder was an out of body experience...it was in the Coliseum (for me) where the Nordique used to play

i think for any east coaster, Cole is as legendary as Foster... personally speaking i always wanted my sportscaster to have a nasal delivery, like the Hewitts, or like all those stereotype guys calling boxing matches or baseball games.... but no disrespect to Bob...he sure got his play calling messed up lots in the latter years...i don't recall him in his early CBC years, when i was busy up to no good on Saturday nights as a twenty something

i forgot about the colour guys... besides old Goldie, what about Harry Neale and Howie Meeker!!! .... i gotta say, Jim Hughson always calls a good game...and this Amy gal is really good (take care, Cassie) ... and Scott Russell is quite fine...yeah, HNIC The Next Generation is is good hands...still waiting for the Empire to Strike Back (i.e.. Leafs...some promising talent...i guess they will never get rid of the fighting...enforcers, protectors, etc....yawn)

oh, btw, this is old Gord footage from another earlier tribute piece aint it?

or perhaps its him repeating the same cliche stuff (just like hockey players do in interviews, lol)...Downie is always so poetic...the toque

Cole (much to my ignorance) was legendary radio HNIC guy first...'73...wow
