“Everything is happening!”
Those are three immortal words from a legend of hockey broadcasting, and they very accurately describe the utter chaos that was the final game of Bob Cole’s illustrious career.
By the end of the overtime period between the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs, the forever rivals had fired 49 shots apiece at Frederik Andersen and Charlie Lindgren, and notched five goals each as well. For a man who has called so many incredible moments, this game may have seemed pedestrian by comparison, but for the fans listening at home, the familiar dulcet tones made it a truly special night all around.
