If getting players names right was the most important thing for a PBP man to do.... The end of this sentence just involves disparaging a random broadcaster who doesn't deserve it. The point is, Bob Cole's voice adds to the atmosphere and theatre of the game. Much like Gord Miller, much like Chris Cutherbert, these are men whose contributions enhance the viewing experience of the audience.
OR we can watch Jim Hughson observe five remarkable plays without so much as raising his voice, talk about the play of 'Frankie Boullion' and then lose his #### when Tokarski gets shot in the chest.
The broadcast team of Cole, Gary Galley, even Greg Millen has really been excellent the past few seasons. I agree, a lesser workload is best for Bob at this point, but he can do a national game a week and call a playoff series or two. He's got that much in him, for sure. Oh baby, for sure.
