      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)

      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.

    @adamdesanti6713 Před 20 dny

    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.
