Kenny's a pro who earned this opportunity. He paid his dues & then some. Offering the job to anyone else would've been a giant slap in the face.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

hopefully joe leaves soon, he’s gonna be unbearable without sam. get me boyle or moore to replace him.

 

[zlev]

This. or Maloney. Two guys who have no problem speaking their mind on broadcast.

I don't particularly like Boyle either.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Just seeing this...for some reason assumed it would be Giannone. But Albert is a great, fitting, and well deserved pick.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I mean, it's probably the right choice.

There was never gonna be anybody else that can pull off "cute old man who's mad at the hockey team but still in a fun way" like Sam did.

What about Machinehead?

Listen, I'm 33. Let's not get out of hand.

This would be my personal hell lmao.

I actually like Giannone too. I think he does a good job in that sideline role. But I could not listen to him all broadcast for 82 games.

 

[pld459666]

giannone robbed

good.

I hate his voice and he has a very punchable face.

 

[will1066]

[Whoot Whoot]

Boyle is not cheerful for an Irishman

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

Excellent choice, well deserved.

Now who replaces the entire rest of the organization

You should watch the interview he gave on Hank's podcast that was posted above. He's such a likable guy whose preparation & recall is pretty incredible.

I grew ip with Kenny on the radio so I’m happy he is taking over. I just wish he injected a little bit of brief opinion or emotion more often instead of robotically calling the play and letting the color guy handle ALL of that. We’ll see, maybe he’ll do better in that regard. I think he and Joe will develop chemistry and have a bit of banter, but not like Sam’s goofy grandpa fun style

I don't know man. I was listening to Steve Somers on Blueshirts Breakaway yesterday and he said that Kenny would receive memos from Jim Dolan to be more uplifting.

 

[tbassler]

I don't mind Kenny Albert.

He won't make me listen to the other team's broadcast.

That’s interesting, I listened to Noah Eagle on a podcast last year talking how Steve Ballmer told him not to be as excited calling opposing team’s great plays when he was the Clippers radio announcer. Shows that these owners do care and listen to the radio broadcasts as well.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

This is cool. I never minded his voice.
