Why I love Bob Cole
Bob Cole describes the play as it happens.
Bob Cole narrates the play. He’s seen them all. He knows what is exciting and what’s worth knowing about the play. And he can tell you about that in the fewsest words possible.
Bob Cole gets excited about the play from the perspective of whoever made the play. The forward made a good move to get an unexpected shot of? Bob Cole is excited. The other forward gets a stick out and makes a turnover? Bob Cole gets excited. The point of view of his play call shifts effortlessly depending on who’s pushing the play. Bob Cole is the most objective play-caller because all he cares about is good plays.
Bob Cole has a cadence and delivery that gets you into the game and keeps you paying attention.
Bob Cole never distracts from the play by trying to tell you something that isn’t relevant to what’s going on right now.
It has been a treat to listen to Bob call games my whole life and i’m Stoked that he did at least one more home game for us. Thanks Bob, you are a legend.
