Blues Announcers

I thought the broadcast was fine last night which probably references how (bleep) the local team is.

Yeah it was nice to know there was a hockey game going on.

The interview with Chase was great and a nice touch by ESPN. You could tell Chase got the juices flowing from his old broadcast days as the interview went along.

For you Lexie fans:

Jim Hayes is about to see his role on Cardinals broadcasts shrink considerably.

FanDuel Sports Network is overhauling how it handles pregame and postgame coverage across its regional footprint, and according to Dan Caesar of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, that means Hayes will work fewer games next season while Alexa Datt picks up more.

+1 It was long but it is Chaser. Anybody else I would not have liked it. I'll take all the Chase they want to put on- not just because of what he is going through but because he seems to be a genuine good guy. Don't know him- just my impression.

Anyone remember Rick Meagher? He was the absolute worst for me. Or maybe he was just the sideline reporter but he was just as bad as Ramage.

Had no ida he did broadcasting work!

I remember his TV spots: "We put the check — [BOOM!] — back in the Checkerdome!"

That was Emile Francis who did those commercials. He did those in 82 and 83. Meagher didn't come to the Blues until 1985.

The announcers on ESPN did good. We didnt have to listen to listen to those two ramble on about a random topic.

Great catch, zuck! My memory was wrong. Was conflating that ad with a Calgary game (powerhouse back then) in which I saw live Meagher absolutely drill one of their best players into the glass on a back check. Then again, that memory might be wrong!

If I don't write it down anymore, then it didn't happen. Heck to get old....

You're at least one step better than me. I write stuff down, then forget where I put the paper!

Far better than usual, imo.

To be honest I took it for what it was....a break from Kerbs and Vitale who continue to just not impress.

I can't wait until they bring back a TV broadcast because I'm sick of hearing all the crying. Kerbs and Joey are great on the radio, I have zero problems with how they call a game.

Kerbs had the greatest call, for the greatest moment in Blues history.


Full Stop.


Screw anything else called by anyone. Perfection.

Kerbs and Joey on the second greatest call. Again Perfection.

100 percent!

"Get up, St. Louis!"

"This is not a dream!"

Truly, TAFKAP, first I've heard these. Watched game on TV.
Two pucks for the links!

Again, thanks for the link. I'd never seen the video of the Maroon call. Freaking phenomenal!

So for real, I've worked nights for 20+ years at this point. I listen to 90% of the Blues broadcasts on radio so for the last 20 years Kerbs is the voice of the Blues to me. When it got down to the last 5 minutes of Game 7, my EXTREMELY drunk (donkey) (I told everyone who joined us win or lose, the night ends with me crying in my beer) had the forethought to run upstairs and grab my phone so i could hear Kerbs call the end. I'm in my basement, holding on to the couch so I don't fall over, one ear listening to the radio, watching the broadcast, friends and family surrounding me, bawling my eyes out. It was magical.

You're welcome. The KMOX video is getting harder to find, I have to get my kids to show me how to rip it.

I love Joey with "This is not a dream St. Louis, let's party!!!"

There used to be a store in Kirkwood on Manchester that had a lot of handmade Etsy type stuff. Someone had a canvas for sale, it was ridiculously expensive, but it was the outline of the Cup made up of the transcript of the end of that Kerber call. I wish I'd have had the cash.
