RIP.
One of the all-time greats with the ability to elevate the emotions of a game with his voice.

Holy crap...
I still remember the first I game I watched on HNIC on Saturday, hearing is voice call out the excitement and get me into as a 7 year old.
The best to ever call it has passed on... RIP to the legend himself.

I'm devastated. All my good memories of this frustrating ass team are with him on the PBP. RIP

Had the pleasure of hanging around with him.He was a great guy and really made HNIC the greatest television property in the country. Along with Danny Gallivan, we were lucky enough to have the greatest, most professional and creative voices to elevate our national game to the highest level. Of course, Rogers managed to ruin all that.

Have some great stories from back in the Gardens days, the best was sitting in the visiting broadcast booth as he and Harry called the game. I will never forget that night.
Such a humble man, who had time for everyone. RIP.

The soundtrack to many nights spent enjoying Maple Leafs hockey and one of the best -tied for me with Joe Bowen - to ever call the game I love.
This one's for you, Bob Cole - "Oh, baby!"

Even today when a goal is scored I can hear his voice.

This hurts badly - the voice of my childhood, gone.
Thanks for always capturing the moment, Mr. Cole.
Rest well, and remember: Everything is Happening.

I'm glad to hear he was a gem outside of the studio too.
Oh no.
Was just talking about his call when Clark scored against St Louis.
" Clark home alone. Home alone. Scores
