[crump]

RIP Bob. Soundtrack for some iconic memories.

 

[mogs]

Legendary voice. So many great memories. Cassie Campbell said today on the Marek show that whe was the last play by play man who didn't try to be an analyst. So true.

 

[Leafs98]

Best ever.

My favorite was when someone would try some move in the ice that failed. Bob Cole "that didnt work"

 

[HellasLEAF]

Very sad day and news. For me it was Bob Cole and Harry Neale and there will never be a better commentary duo...

Rest easy Bob you will be missed.

 

[Squiffy]

Don’t have any words to express how much I loved him calling games. He called all the biggest hockey moments for most of my life.

I didn’t even care at the end when he was struggling to do it.. just give me the voice and a hockey game and good to go.

Sad, RIP, you sir, were a dandy.

 

[IPS]

Lost but most certainly not forgotten.

 

[Obo]

A wonderful voice and part of the soundtrack to my childhood. RIP.

 

[TakeTheBody]

The very best ever. Clark McSorley being my all time favorite. Cole and Neale were/are the tag team champs.

 

[Brown Dog]

G.O.A.T.

1. Doug Gilmour’s wraparound goal against the Blues in the 1993 playoffs​

“Gilmour back of the net, Andreychuk in front with Borschevsky. It is Gilmour waiting, waiting, around the net, waiting — he’s open! Gilmour! Solo job! And he’s won it, in a second overtime period. How. About. That. Oh my. Oh my. What a night, tonight, for the Toronto Maple Leafs.”

 

[Menzinger]

His voice will be forever memorable. Very sad

 

[ClarkSittler]

1993 was a magical time to be a Leaf fan and Bob Cole played a part in that. My favorite play by play guy along with Joe Bowen.

RIP Bob you are a legend.

He was the best.

The ten second pause right after where he says nothing and just lets the live noise from the stadium through.. so we can be there too on our tv’s.. that’s Bob Cole being the greatest.

RIP Bob Cole, what a legend!
