From William Houston at the Globe & Mail,
This will not be announced or acknowledged until well after the fact, but Bob Cole is calling his last Stanley Cup final for the CBC.
The veteran announcer’s future with Hockey Night in Canada is a sensitive subject that management will not discuss.
But sources close to CBC Sports say Cole’s assignments next season will not include the NHL’s championship series, although he will continue to call regular-season games.
continued… with mention that, as expected, Jim Hughson will be in Cole’s seat for the finals in 2009
Another article on Cole was noted on KK earlier today, praising his work in this year’s playoffs.

Kukla’s Korner is always a free service for readers, but it costs some money to maintain. If you’re ever in a position to donate a few dollars to help out, we’d be very appreciative.
How Bob Cole and Greg Millen (who is the worst ever) got the privilege of working the Finals this year, is absolutely beyond me.
Bob Cole “was” excellent in his day, but that day passed him by years ago. And as far as the boob, Millen, well I won’t even bother listing the reasons why he shouldn’t have a job at all.
CBC doesn’t get it and apparently never will. It’s a complete joke that I preferred listening to the NBC broadcast. Seriously, you know it’s bad when those twits sound better. Sad.
