These playoffs there were multiple examples, nightly, where the play would change quickly and he wouldn't even recognize it. The play would be going up ice and there'd be a turnover for a quick break and quality scoring chance the other way, but if it happened too quickly Bob literally wouldn't even mention that it happened. It was so weird to watch.

I have rewatched game 7 between Chicago and LA three times solely because of Bob Cole's work.
I can't stop repeating this, but if you're as good at your job at 80 years old as Bob Cole is at his, you are LYING. Bob may not be perfect but he encapsulates everything that is wonderful and romantic about this game. And if you can't do the math on that, I don't know what to tell you
