Sorry, I should have said compared to American team-feeds, not national coverage. Cuthbert is also really good, but Glenn Healey should not have a job in hockey. I agree with you on Pierre, he is super knowledgeable, but sometimes he gets a bit cringey, but overall I think he does a good job. I've always thought he would make a great GM, and I know he's interviewed plenty of times for open GM positions.
But god do I dislike Jim Hughson. His banter seems forced, and he repeats the same calls over and over again, he says (or at least used to) "he shoots the puck intentionally wide" so many times each game that I could no longer watch him. Personally, I think Gord Miller and Ray Ferraro are the absolute gold standard for play-by-play and color. Miller's calls are so exciting and passionate, and Ferraro has the ability to not need to hear his voice all the time and slow down to really think about what wants to say and say it in an articulate and knowledgeable manner. This is why it is such a treat to watch the World Juniors every year when they work together.
