In honour of legendary longtime broadcaster Joe Bowen called his final game of his 44-year career last night behind the microphone on both television and radio. I am still feeling a little emotional thinking about it and all the great moments he magically put words too. Thank You Joe ♥️

  1. Should’ve had him on sportsnet, CBC. Why we took him off was baffling.. put the passion in hockey for all of us

  3. Bonesie is a living legend. Love him to pieces and already feel his absence. I look forward to seeing shots of him in the crowd, three deep into the rum and coke ❤️

  4. I’m sorry for you, Joe, that you didn’t get to make that one big call. No-one wanted it more than you.

  5. Just like Buck Martinez was the heart of the Jays over the years, so was Joe Bowen to the Leafs. Sucks we lost both of them in back to back years (to retirement, not death) but they’ve both had long successful careers and made tons of iconic memories for fans of all ages. They deserve to spend their later years with their loved ones

  9. It will be difficult to find a broadcaster with as much enthusiasm as he has for the Leafs even though they couldn’t even win it once for him.

  14. He was the most reliable part of the leafs. Every game he gave it everything. Too bad they couldn’t win a cup. His announcement would have been amazing.

  16. Listening to leafs hockey at night and going to sleep won’t be the same again. Cheers and Thank you Joe!

  17. It’s indicative of this season that his last ever “Holy Makinaw” was followed by the words “the Leafs are on the board”.

  18. We will miss you, Uncle Joe, so very much. You will never be replaced even if they put somebody else in that booth with Ralphie. Enjoy your well earned retirement to the fullest. Maybe you’ll be able to see, in person even, what you never got to call. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. You. Are. A. Legend.
