Bob Cole is the best announcer, love hearing his voice on CBC.
Did he retire?
Bob Cole all the way.
Jim Hughson annoys me
@Albert8004 I prefer Chris Cuthbert, but as long as I don’t hear Harry Neale with him.
not even close---Bill Hewitt/Danny Gallivan/Dan Kelly were superior to that dinosaur Cole in every way--in fact, Cole got so bad he was starting to forget the names of the players at one point--he wouldn't retire because of his enormous ego which wouldn't let him--he was literally forced to (in fact in 2019 Cole expressed bitterness in a CTV interview that he was made to retire)
@@bufnyfan1 That's what happens when old age and Alzheimer's mix.
Absolute ICON of the game. The soundtrack of my childhood. RIP Bob.
Took the words right out of my mouth. Some of his calls are instilled in my brain forever.
another day another one of gods angels called back to the heavens, thanks for the memories bob
Echoing the same sentiment - I grew up in Scarborough in the 80s… the Leafs were just awful during those Ballard years. But despite those god awful teams…. I have fond memories of Bob Cole doing play by play of all HNIC Leaf games Saturday nights starting at 8 pm EST during those days. The inflection in his voice during key moments of the game… knowing when to pause and let the crowd do the talking… it was just heaven listening to him. Truly the soundtrack of my childhood. A part of my childhood died too with Bob Cole this week - RIP Mr. Cole. There will never be another like you. I feel privileged to have listened to you at the height of your career.
@@Death-np9yz Amen to that - so well said.
Heaven just got another golden voice. Farewell, Bob
The voice of my childhood. RIP to the absolute legend.
Hockey Night in Canada will NEVER be the same. You'll be missed Bob. Best wishes on your retirement!
Rest in peace Bob, the voice of a million memories. Forever remembered as a Canadian icon.
The voice of hockey during my childhood.
Absolute legend.
Why add unnecessary music? The calls are good enough on their own.
Rest in peace Bob. Voice of generations literally.
I grew up in Detroit listening to Bob and Harry. To me, the two of them are the voices of NHL hockey. Bob was my all-time favorite play-by-play man. I will never forget him. RIP Mr. Cole.
Man, Saturday nights were special for me back in the day. I dont know how far CBC reached into the states but we were pretty lucky here in Detroit. I miss the old HNIC days. RIP Bob Cole.
It used to be such a big deal to be on HNIC, even here in Detroit. If you were on there, and the Red Wings certainly were when they played the Leafs or Canadiens on Saturday, you'd better step it up! So many Saturdays listening to Bob and Harry call all those wonderful games (usually when the American broadcast was also national on Fox or ESPN. We never turned off Ken and Mickey) RIP
Rest peacefully in heaven, Bob Cole. The world of hockey will never forgotten of his enthusiastic broadcasting career. 🕊️❤️🎙️
CBC hockey night in Canada won't be the same without him. When Toronto and my habs were playing and Bob Cole was on the air My family was glued to the tv.
This video gave me goosebumps remembering all the memories from all the games called with that iconic voice. Thanks for all the memories Mr. Cole. R.I.P.
Love it when he says 'OH SABY!' Bob Cole IS Hockey Night in Canada!
The game hasn’t felt the same since Bob left. Saturday nights and playoff time don’t have the same occasion. Thanks Bob for a great career.
Oh Baby! What a career. My entire childhood revolves around Saturday night and this man. Will be missed for sure
Gobitz Games - grew up in Detroit but was tuned into CBC Channel 9 from Windsor, ON every Saturday night.
RIP to an absolute legend and the soundtrack of Saturday nights
RIP, Bob. A legend and you will forever be missed.
RIP Bob Cole. Loved listening to him call games
Thanks for everything Bob! I'm 35, you've been a part of my hockey viewing experience my entire life. Enjoy retirement brother!
Deh troy-et wins the game, Deh Troy-et wins the series! Love Bob Cole!
Bob has entered the afterlife and is now calling games in Heaven, RIP Mr. Cole and thank you
RIP to the legend. Many a Saturday night spent in my grandparents basement watching HNIC growing up. Him and Harry were the best
The Gilmour goal came at 2am Newfoundland time, I screamed, my dad screamed, my dog, a fat German Shepherd who believed we were being invaded went to the window and screamed, a great hockey memory made better by Bob Cole.
The voice of a generation. Bob had a very rare gift, his play-by-play could make any game or any player sound 10 times more exciting than it actually was.
Canada loves you Bob, and we'll miss you. RIP
RIP Bob... The voice of so many generations of hockey fans in Canada. Legend.
End to an Era. His voice was always on hockey games when I was a kid. Thank you Bob, enjoy your retirement at the end of the year!
He announced every game with excitement like it was his team he was cheering for
my favorite by far ,love Bob Cole incredible play by play.
R.I.P. Bob Cole (1933-2024)🕊
The voice of hockey
You will be missed❤️
There's only one Bob Cole. My childhood thanks you Mr. Cole
Ditto!!
OHHH BABY! The voice of HNIC. Rest in peace Bob Cole and thank you legend!
Man what a treat to here bob call the hockey game especially at playoff time nothing like it!
Best announcer of my lifetime. Thanks for the memories Bob. RIP
I don't think I'll love another hockey presence quite like Bob's. Every childhood memory of watching the playoffs encapsulated in that one voice, like a member of the family. You never know you're in a golden age of something until it's past.
You can be blind or just close your eyes - listen to Bob call a game and you will see it vividly in your head :)
Purest example of a non-biased announcer, whose excitment with all these goals was just as genuine as the next. Didn't matter if it was Canadian vs Canadian, Canadian vs American or American vs American. The man is a legend.
The Legend will never be forgotten. Thank you for the memories, Bob. We will miss you
It's a real shame that this doesn't have his call of Sakic's goal that clinched the gold-medal game in Salt Lake City 2002. I assume it's a rights issue, but that to me will always stand out as Cole's best call.
Jyyyoe Sackic!
We had it all up here in Northern Ontario on them nights years ago...My memories of hanging out in the Big Bear Hotel and Railway Bunkhouse (Hawk Junction Ontario Canada!)...those nights...them memories will never fade!
Rest in Peace Bob, thank you for all the great hockey memories you created for us all!
RIP Bob. I loved listening to your hockey broadcasts growing up. You set the standard so high that every other broadcaster after you was average at best. You will be missed.
Rest in peace Bob. You were the greatest to do it 🥲🥰
A true legend, never be another Bob Cole, thanks for being a part of my childhood and the adulthood listening to you. The excitement and passion for the game in your voice was real. Today's play by play don't have that, tonight canada and the hockey world are already missing you. Put a hockey stick outside your front door in memory of Bob, write on it....... oh baby !!
I was at his last game in Montreal. Really emotional moment. Great game too. Glad there was a lot of excitement for his last game. OH BABY!
Emotional?? yea-relief that that dinosaur Cole finally left---he didn't retire--he was pushed out--he was known behind the scenes to have an enormous ego--in fact in 2019 during an interview on CTV he said he was angry he was forced to retire
Summer would always begin with the playoffs starting and hearing Bob Coles glorious goalie intros and iconic voice, RIP to a legend
No one called the game, the way Bob called it. RIP Bob. You will be missed.
Bob Cole called all the big games and more,he was an institution in my life and our home since I was young. I am 58 now and their will never be another Bob Cole,from the 72 summit series,to salt lake Crosby scoring the winner for gold to the Habs 96 Stanley cup victory. Never hone,never forgotten,listen to Bob call online....oh baby !!!!!!
93
RIP Mr. Cole from a fellow Newfoundlander.
Where ever you are I am sure you are still calling the play by play.
Ohhhhhh baby I know you are !!!!!

Love you and will miss you, Bob. RIP old friend.
Seeing this right now hits even harder 💔
Rest easy Bob, what a legend !
His most legendary calls by a mile are "Oh baby" and "They're going home"!
The voice of hockey as a kid. I might be a Devils fan but he made watching the Leafs, Habs, sens, really any Canadian team must watch.
He brought class to play by play unlike any other.
RIP to the legend
RIP Mr. Cole... thank you for the memories!
A true Canadian and hockey icon. He loved our game, he loved our country and he loved us. He was a master of his craft, he was the soundtrack of my childhood all those Saturday nights watching hockey with my folks. Rest in peace Mr.Cole, a true legend! OHHH BABY!
Thank you for everything, Mr. Cole.
Bob Cole Forever.
Oh Baby.
Rest in peace to the greatest to ever do it. Legend!

You're the voice of hockey to me. 🙏

Bob Cole and Harry Neale…. Best play calling duo in all of sports! Legends of my sports childhood!
Absolutely a legend and huge part of my good memories growing up with my brothers. Mr.Cole added an electric exciting level to games that forever will last will me. Will never forget some of my fav calls and when I think about exciting moments in hockey I have always had Bob Coles voice as part of those memories. 👍❤️
You're right Mr Cole....."nobody does it better". You are the "Great One" of broadcasting. Had to add that.
Rip Legend. The voice of Canadian hockey for 5 decades.
R.i.p bob cole u were sweet and humble the game will miss u
RIP Bob Cole. You were and are a legend and apart of the game and so many for 5 decades. Regardless of what your team is, i think i can speak for every hockey fan like myself that, you will be missed.
Thank you.
RIP.
The call from Yzerman's blast in '96 gave me the chills.... Nobody bigger than Mr. Cole. Rest in peace.
RIP Bob. Absolute legend, among the absolute best there’s ever been.
A true legend. RIP.
We used to have CBC before we switched cable carriers, and now we don't have it anymore, so I miss hearing this.
How do I like this video a trillion times. Bobs calls on hnic filled my life and imagination. Rest easy Mr Cole aka mr saturday night...😊
"They're going home" is absolutely golden
You are the greatest Robert.
GREAT MAN
A lot of young people like myself never got the chance to experience Gary Thorne's commentary, so to me, Bob Cole is the best commentator of all time.
Cole was many things---the "best commentator of all time" he wasn't---not even close
Ric Jeanerette and Bob Cole in a league of there own
Being an American, I didn’t get to hear Bob Cole much. My exposure to him was the NHL 2K games on PS2.
RIP Bob Cole, the voice to tens of millions of our Canadian hockey friends. Love and healing.
Bob's sense of the hockey moment was unparalleled. His powers of escalation. As the hockey became more perilous, not only did his tone peak and has cadence become more urgent, he became a minimalist to stay right on top of it. "Oh, he's IN!" "He's right in!!" "Look out!!!" "Reeeeeeebound!!!!" "'Nuther shot!!!" In his long prime he was never, ever behind the play. He understood that he was doing television, not radio. In radio you have to paint a picture of the play with a full description of players, where they are, what they're doing. In television the pictures are already there. Bob Cole was like a great movie having the perfect musical score. Perfect synergy. All he needed to do was escalate to "Scorrrrrrrres!!!" or simply say the players name to make it great.
Missing you Bob. Thanks for the amazing memories!
rest in peace bob cole! you're the reason why i want to work in the hockey industry one day.
How could you not love Bob’s call? He was the best imo....My favourite, when the Habs beat the Kings in game 2 in ’93...pretty sure it was game 2, when Desjardin tied and then won the game in OT, with the crowd going nuts...“well Harry Neale, they just put a new roof up here at The Forum and I hope they used heavy steel up there, cuz it’s gonna lift!”...
Rest in peace Bob Cole. You were the best of them.
One of the best
The voice of the game, RIP Bob Cole
It's a sad day in Canada. Rest in peace, Mr. Cole.
