BOSTON (KMOX) - It was a historic moment in the KMOX broadcast booth for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, as the son of a legendary St. Louis Blues broadcaster got to call a championship game just like his father.
You can hear the introduction Kerber gave to Kelly and a few of his highlights in the video above. Kelly also talked to his new radio partner in analyst Joey Vitale about what Kerber's gesture means to him:
In three decades calling hockey games John Kelly has never been at the helm for a Stanley Cup Final. And because NBC and NBC Sports Network will provide exclusive TV coverage, the veteran broadcaster had expected to be a spectator for this series.
But Kerber approached him about the opportunity after the Blues beat the San Jose Sharks in the Western Conference Final.
