Bob Cole, the voice of Hockey Night In Canada, passes away at age 90

All my childhood Leafs memories were Bob Cole calling games.  RIP Bob, legend.
 
I grew up listening to Bob Cole. He was incredible and really made hockey exciting for me as a kid. He will be missed.
 
For those with access to the Athletic, this is great:

For me, across the Atlantic, Cole and Bowen are still the 2 voices I associate with hockey. A glorious mix of traditional, classy and conveying. Massive warmth for the sport.
 
When Bob semi retired and he wasn't calling games anymore it felt like something wasn't right. Few did it better. Rest easy.
