RegDunlop Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 Unless I missed it somewhere, there hasn't been much discussion on Capwise of Bob Cole's retirement after 50 years on HNIC. By now, the pundits and journalists have all explained why this is such a big deal, so I won't get into all that. That said, it ocurred to me that there are a lot of people here who may not fully appreciate just how awesome he was - I'm thinking of our American and francophone friends in particular. With that in mind, as a sort of tribute to Bob Cole, I thought it might be cool to have a thread where people post their favourite calls of all time (fans of Doc Emrick, Pierre Houde, or anyone else - please join in). My favourite call of all time can be summed up in three words - Des. Jar. Dins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RegDunlop Posted April 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 It's always great when you hear words or expressions that are completely unexpected... like "gingerly" (Gallivan) or "exorcism" (Hughson). Gotta add the famous Stevie Y slapshot to the list, I think. I love the way Cole screams "Duh-troy-et!" By the way, there are a couple of great Cole highlight packages here and here. Enjoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
