A couple of minutes ago, Sidney Crosby was on Sportsnet with a heartwarming video to tribute Bob Cole.
Sid called Bob Cole everyday before the regular-season and everyday before the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Sidney admired Bob Cole and the passion he had for the game.
Mike Lange is (and will always be) the definitive voice for all things Penguins.
But Bob Cole's call of Mario Lemieux's iconic goal against the Minnesota North Stars in the 1991 Stanley Cup Final matched the moment perfectly.
RIP.
Today in @penguins History: Apr. 25, 1999 - Martin Straka scores a 🎩-trick as the #8 seed #LetsGoPens beat the #1 @NJDevils, 4-2, in Game 3 of the Eastern Conf. quarter-finals en route to winning the series in 7.
Kovalev w/game-winning 🚨
Barrasso 31 🛑.
Today in @penguins History: Apr. 26, 1996 - With the series tied 2-2 after four overtimes in Game 4, @MarioLemieuxFdn, Francois Leroux, @bsmoke4869 & @68Jagr 🚨 as the #LetsGoPens beat the @Capitals, 4-1, in Game 5
Then...
...all hell breaks loose...(1/3)
In respect to Bob Cole, I would like to share one of my favourite goal calls from him.
Crosby goes down in the first-period of the game, capitals take a 2-0 lead. With little time left, a Crosby-less penguins team crawled all the way back and Bob Cole absolutely nails the call.
Most points by a 36-year-old in NHL history:
T-1. Sidney Crosby (42-52-94) 82 games
T-1. Teemu Selanne (48-46-94) 82 gms
T-2. Wayne Gretzky (23-67-90) 82 gms
T-2. Alex Ovechkin (50-40-90) 77 gms
3. Joe Sakic (32-55-87) 82 games
Just a remarkable season from Sidney Crosby.
I believe Mike Sullivan is a great coach but his time has expired. He's going to get a job next season. He should coach the Devils, his system is going to do wonders with all that youth and speed.
As for PIT a new voice is needed. It pains me to say but it's time.
There were several moments during the season where you could say this was the turning point. The trades for Daley and Schultz. The injuries to Crosby and Malkin that caused the HBK line. But us rattling Lundqvist will always stand out for me!
