SuchaNuxtalgia Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Really enjoyed the on-air chemistry that Bob had w/Harry Neale. In their heyday, that was a nice team to hear call a game. Shorty & Garrett had a similar magic. A perfect tandem in the booth makes a great game even better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilgore Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) He was the GOAT. I would put him even slightly ahead of Robson if I had to choose. The guy had the voice, but it was more than that. He had an incredible prescience to how a play would unfold. Shorty has a bit of this. But Bob was uncanny with that ability. Raising his cadence as the play was developing, all with his own style. RIP Bob Edited April 26 by kilgore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Legendary is absolutely the best word to describe him, once in a generation. His voice is the track to so many of the greatest moments in hockey history. Condolences. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-68 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 When I think of Hockey Night in Canada and in particular the early days of my introduction to Hockey and growing up watching Hockey, the voice of Bob Cole is in my head. The way he called the game, the passion he injected into his broadcast and the love for the sport shone through. I got excited just listening to him list the team rosters. Rest in peace good sir, Rest in peace indeed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
