RIP Bob... The voice of so many generations of hockey fans in Canada. Legend.

Rip Legend. The voice of Canadian hockey for 5 decades.

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.

Love it when he says 'OH SABY!' Bob Cole IS Hockey Night in Canada!

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!

Best announcer of all time Also I miss the old HNiC

There's only one Bob Cole. My childhood thanks you Mr. Cole

You can be blind or just close your eyes - listen to Bob call a game and you will see it vividly in your head :)

RIP Bob Cole! You were one of greatest!

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.

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.

OHHH BABY! The voice of HNIC. Rest in peace Bob Cole and thank you legend!

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.

RIP to the legend. Many a Saturday night spent in my grandparents basement watching HNIC growing up. Him and Harry were the best

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

Oh Baby! What a career. My entire childhood revolves around Saturday night and this man. Will be missed for sure

Deh troy-et wins the game, Deh Troy-et wins the series! Love Bob Cole!

It's a sad day in Canada. Rest in peace, Mr. Cole.

Oh baby! Rest in peace Bob Cole.

My god this voice takes me back to some of the best memories I have in life. RIP.

Rest in peace, legend. One of the best to ever do it.

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.

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 !!

The amount of times i fell asleep to bob’s voice while listening to the radio or fell asleep on my grandfather’s couch watch hockey night in canada. ❤️ you’ll be missed ♥️

So many iconic calls, Rip Bob

A Maritime born legend Bob Cole that I saw on CBC great voices and a great person my sympathy to all his family.

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

Best announcer of my lifetime. Thanks for the memories Bob. RIP

RIP Bob. Absolute legend, among the absolute best there’s ever been.

May he rest in peace, what a great announcer, he will be missed

The greatest announcer to ever call a game! Bob made every game feel like game 7 of the cup finals. RIP.

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.

RIP to the voice of a generation.

His most legendary calls by a mile are "Oh baby" and "They're going home"!

Rest in Peace Bob, thank you for all the great hockey memories you created for us all!

RIP Bob Cole. He will be missed dearly.

The call from Yzerman's blast in '96 gave me the chills.... Nobody bigger than Mr. Cole. Rest in peace.

Bob Cole and Harry Neale…. Best play calling duo in all of sports! Legends of my sports childhood!

The voice of the game, RIP Bob Cole

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 !!!!!!

Truly iconic. RIP Bob Cole.

RIP to a legend

LEGEND!!!!!!!

rest in peace bob cole! you're the reason why i want to work in the hockey industry one day.

Love and peace be with you on your next journey, Bob. Greatest hockey announcer of all time.

You're the voice of hockey to me. 🙏

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.

Love you and will miss you, Bob. RIP old friend.

Thank you for everything, Mr. Cole. Bob Cole Forever. Oh Baby.

RIP. Legend.

Thanks for everything Bob! I'm 35, you've been a part of my hockey viewing experience my entire life. Enjoy retirement brother!

my favorite by far ,love Bob Cole incredible play by play.

The Legend will never be forgotten. Thank you for the memories, Bob. We will miss you

Seeing this right now hits even harder 💔

RIP Mr. Cole... thank you for the memories!

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.

On Yzerman's G7GWG against STL (0:30), I was watching the ESPN coverage with Gary Thorne and Bill Clement and that's their voices that will forever be etched into my memory. I don't get enough of Bob Cole's calls, but when I do, it's like talking to a best friend. Thanks, Bob, for all the other great calls that you made that I had the fortune to hear. You're certainly missed.

"Ooooooh BABY!! After a few more pops watch this will bring a tear to my eye!! Good night Bob!!!

Legend. Rest in Peace Bob

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.

Hockey will never be the same RIP Bob

Thank you Bob Cole for the great, memorable, classic calls in NHL history, you will be missed, "Oh Baby", RIP forever.🙏

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...😊

Rip bob. One of the best to ever do it. In my top 5 all time favorite announcers

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!

Missing you Bob. Thanks for the amazing memories!

RIP Bob Cole. You were the best

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.😢

Summer would always begin with the playoffs starting and hearing Bob Coles glorious goalie intros and iconic voice, RIP to a legend

Him and harry neale were what made hnic iconic growing up for me

Man what a treat to here bob call the hockey game especially at playoff time nothing like it!

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!

Absolute best!

Rest in peace Bob Cole. You were the best of them.

RIP Bob Cole ❤
