Kerber/Vitale will go down as an epically massive mistake

[TheJackBurton]

I sure hope we have multiple threads on this throughout the season.

One part of this sheeet deal is irreversibly done. Kellys gone.

Now it's up to these 2 to prove their worth to end these threads.

People shouldn't eat this quietly if it sucks for them.

Would last nights game have been more enjoyable if John Kelly was in the booth?

Obviously, not even a great broadcaster like Kelly could put lipstick on that pig.

But at least we wouldn’t have to listen to Kerber be behind the play or Vitale drone on and on talking over Kerber while the play is going on.

But Kerber wasn't really behind the play. For me at least, there wasn't a time I was unsure who had the puck or what was happening.

Different strokes however.

[TheJackBurton]

Disagree. I thought they were fine. I will always say JK was one of the best. But this duo works too. If you think these guys are bad, apparently you haven’t listened to many other teams’ broadcasts.

You are definitely outvoted.

I thought it was fine too. Anyone who didn’t notice that Kerbs and Vitale significantly cut down on the schtick has an agenda and the truth isn’t part of it. They were fine last night. Hopefully they’ll get better too.

Everyone relax…81 more games to go people.

I didn’t have a problem with them either. I also typically am watching the game and the announcers are background noise.
I also want to mention again that NOW JK and Panger are consummate pros, but when they were here people were complaining about them right and left between the “thank you thank you” and “nine of hearts”! Some folks aren’t happy no matter what.

There were a pretty good amount of threads of people who stated they would mute the game and try to get it to sync up to the radio because Kerbs and Vitale were so much better to listen to.

[TheJackBurton]

I sure hope we have multiple threads on this throughout the season.

Ha ha! No kidding.

This will go away once the Blues start winning.

And, have you noticed how much more traffic there is here when the team loses?

Crickets when they win, record setting traffic when they lose.

Change is inevitable. They were very good. The team was not.

Change is indeed inevitable.

Good change is good. Bad change is bad.

Dumping JK and Pang was bad change.

Getting an unexpected $1000 check in the mail is good change. Being told you have terminal cancer is bad change.

Having worked in corporations where management consultants said “change is good” or “change is inevitable” it was generally a sign that big layoffs were right around the corner.

Exactly.

These imbeciles who believe "change is good" without thinking is par for the course in society these days.

Part of the fabric of being a fan is the announcers telling the story of the game.

Not all change is bad, not all change is good.

Sometimes change is just change.

After all in 1969 Jack Buck took over for Harry Carey, and I'm sure many weren't happy about that. Look how that turned out.

The point being we have no idea how this will look like in 3 years, 5 years, 10 years. Kerber has been the radio voice now for 25 years, it's not as if they just plucked some guy off the streets and said "here you go"

Its Caray and he left under a supposed cloud and everybody who listened already knew about Buck's talent.

Letting Kelly go was just tone deaf and a total miss by the powers that be.

A typo really?

Again, Kerber has been calling the Blues for 25 years, he's not exactly new to the Blues, the fan base, or the booth.

It's not as if Kerber is some untalented hack who has no idea what he is doing. If you don't like him, you don't like him, but don't act like he is some fresh out of college voice who hasn't paid his dues or was the one who pushed out Kelly.

I mean he did call our only Stanley Cup victory after all.

A lot of people who don't know better make that mistake with that spelling so I doubt it was a typo.

I never said he was some guy off the street you implied.

The argument is removing Kelly and those making that decision so oblivious as to why fans would be upset with it.

Actually, more people get Harry Caray’s last name wrong (Carey, Carrey) than right! BTW: It’s short for Carabina, which was Harry’s last name at birth. He shortened it to Caray as a young radio personality to make it sound less ethnic (which was common to do in those days).

I'm just going to say it. We're a mid market team, and according to Sportico we're valued 26th out of 32 teams. This is a business. It will continue to be run like one. If it takes going to a simulcast and losing JK in order to remain a cap team. I don't care.

BAD.

Those two were fantastic together. I missed Harry since the day he left here.

I understand that people loved JK, but Kerbs and Joey are very good at what they do.

Panger wasn’t dumped, he left because of the uncertainty of what was going to happen with FSMW.

We've got Stick and Rivers on this pregame show.

Why not just let them handle this game?

Yes are absolutely right, I didn't know any better, phones never autocorrect.
