“It’s only in hockey that a middle-aged power broker who won Cups and gold medals is so delighted to be regaled by a guy who called those games. Because in hockey, the veteran always has precedence. The orderliness of that idea – that we are all part of an unbroken chain – is hockey’s secret formula.“

Oh man #BobCole has died.

I obviously didn't grow up with him calling the games (because I wasn't watching), but I did enjoy his games on the rare occasions I got to listen to them. An absolute icon of the sport for sure.
