Kelly and Datt

[southernblues]

Terrible move Kelly is an icon. Will Datt be off the Cardinals broadcast also? Not a good move on both.

Just read about Kelly, but what happens with the cute one?
Will there be a between period show, a pre and post game anymore??

No. Her contract has expired and no mention of possible renewal.

Datt was good on MLB network.

That's a bummer. WTH Blues!?

According to Zimmerman it is both. Seems the blues also made the decision.

Kelly and Panger were an excellent team. We had it good for a long time.

Alexa will likely move on for a bigger city or national gig.

She was still on the Cards broadcast last night, so she isn't gone yet.

Stillman could’ve stopped this. I guess he saw the savings.

[ManitobaBlues]

I am glad we do not have to listen to Rivers during the game only between periods, Rivers at least he knows hockey, but man that dude can become a whinny baby and cry too much about the refs all the time.

A very disappointing un Blues like move.

Make the move if you must Tom but pay the extra to keep the right guy who's done nothing but right by you.

The Blues are run as a business, not some rich guys toy. That is both good and bad as the ownership group has really put an emphasis on making the business not become a crater. I think its a bigger deal than what people are envisioning. JK's contract was up, Kerber and Vitale are still under contract. If they're simulcasting, it gets rid of one half of the broadcast entirely. That's a LOT of coin. They see the cap elevating and they look to be getting ahead of it. Let's be real, JK was loved, but so was Panger. He left and fans still watched.

Different situation with Panger. He was a Blackhawk, so the idea that perhaps he was going home made it more palatable. The Kelly family is Blues hockey royalty.

Also, more direct flights out of O'Hare and easier travel for his network gig.
