I still remember listening to this game on the radio on the way back from my grandmothers and the crazy reaction after sakic made it 3-2, i was freaking out as a little 8 year old
In my opinion Canada winning 2002 Olympic Gold Medal is greater feat than the 2010 Gold. Why first in 50 years, Canada was underdog & Bob Cole. 2010 is overrated though I am glad Canada won Gold . Yeah it was on home ice but had that Game gone to a shootout Team USA would have won cause Ryan Miller was almost lights out in shootouts at that time. Ask Habs & Leafs fans how they felt about Miller as he gave both teams fits
One of the finest hockey games I have EVER witnessed. Bob Cole was great too. This was hockey at its finest. For the love of the game and their country.
I'll never forget this game, watching it at 3am in Ireland. 5 days into food poisoning and close to death from dehydration, I lay motionless on the couch, this game keeping me awake and possibly alive. After that inspired Canadian performance I started to regain energy and that night I was finally able to keep some water down and recover within a week.
Looking at the USA roster they didn’t had a very good team on paper. Chelios, Hull, Sutter, Housley & Young where older players far from their prime, if Young ever had a prime. Not even sure if Hull would’ve made Team Canada if he wanted to. Mike Richter was on fire, still he was not even a top 10 NHL goalie… Who is Aaron Miller? Team Canada was stacked!
The Lemieux dumbie on the pass was insane awareness. Ritcher completely stopped to square him off and then dove in panic when he realized what had happened.
What's hillarious is the disrespect he gets from all the millennials and young fans (in his final years )... Honestly they need to be taught that Bob Cole in his prime was one of the greatest. Unfortunately some these youngn's are so narrowminded it isn't funny....
He was the best PBP man. He brought another level of excitement to games that isn't seen with anyone else. Even though in his later years he would get some names wrong and couldn't always keep up with the play, the excitement was still there. Every other announcer seems so monotonous compared to him.
