Bob Cole is the greatest sportscaster of our time

He is the main game broadcaster on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada, which, by the way is the longest running televised sports show in the world. Cole has an amazing voice that can make you hair stand on end. When he calls a game, the grace with which he calls it is unmatchable... as my friends and I say, he hums, or sings the play to you...he doesn't just tell you.
Jim Hughson is good too.
I also dig Joe Morgan and...that other guy I always forget.

4. Yes we get CBC here on satellite TV

I know who Jim Hughson is but he is no Bob Cole. My all-time favorite hockey sportscaster is Foster Hewitt...I think he invented hockey play-by-play
