Chris Cuthbert and the CBC aren't done quite yet.

Cuthbert is preparing to sue the network over an alleged breach of contract when he was fired; one of the sticking points is reportedly a guarantee that he would take the torch from Bob Cole as Hockey Night in Canada's number one play-by-play announcer, upon the latter's retirement (which is arguably overdue). "What a preposterous way of doing business," Cuthbert said about the whole fiasco.

One thing is for sure: he won't be back on HNIC. "There's going to be too many other opportunities to work someplace where people treat you like they appreciate you," said Cuthbert. Without a doubt this time, it looks as though CBC's loss will be someone else's gain.
