iHeart Posted December 18, 2020 Report Posted December 18, 2020 8 minutes ago, Noeller said: Kelly is older now, has a family, and is in a sort-of "management" position with 'OB. He's not going out on the road for months of the year. That's a younger man's game. I'm curious how they arrived at Edmonds over Munzy for the gig. If Munzy turned it down, or maybe was never asked...?? Munz is the one with a lengthy hockey PBP background...Edmonds only had the Goldeyes before he started doing colour on the Jets radio-casts. Curious how this will work for them, anyhow.... CJOB has released a statement, and I found out Moore WILL be involved with pre-game and post-game commentary
SpeedFlex27 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Posted December 18, 2020 Kurt Keilbach with the booming pipes will always be the best pbp guy the Jets ever had. rebusrankin 1

I was trying to remember that...I think they were only on 1290 (even before TSN) and then moved to that little community access station awhile back... don't think they were on OB, but I could be wrong.
iHeart Posted December 18, 2020 Report Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) maybe before 1994? it doesn't say anything about who did play-by-play then just that they existed before 1994 and that we went 24 years without baseball after 1970 https://goldeyes.com/team/history/ Edited December 18, 2020 by iHeart
Noeller Posted December 18, 2020 Report Posted December 18, 2020 I'm actually kind of surprised 'OB didn't try and go the progressive route and put Hextall on PBP (or Colour at the very least...) Makes sense to have Kelly host the coverage from the studio. Allows him to be involved without having to travel. It'll be a good broadcast, for the most part...

I know she left her appointed position in comms with Gov't but am not certain what she's up to now?
FrostyWinnipeg Posted December 18, 2020 Author Report Posted December 18, 2020 Dislike Edmonds as PBP. Jamie Thomas is a True North stooge.

I've never been much of a Kelly Moore fan but that's probably because I've never recovered from losing Kurt Keilbach call all the Jet games for me even when they were televised (i.e., turn TV play by play guy off, didn't care there was a bit of delay) putting me at the edge of my seat like I was at the game. Golden.

bustamente Posted December 23, 2020 Report Posted December 23, 2020 When you think of Winnipeg Jets there are only 2 Ken "Friar" Nicolson and Kurt Keilbach, nobody either on tv or radio with Jets 2.0 holds a candle to those two HardCoreBlue and Mr Dee 2
Noeller Posted December 23, 2020 Report Posted December 23, 2020 Keilbach was good, but I think people over-rate him based on fond memories of their youth. We tend to cling to these images of yesteryear (see: Iso/SpeedFlex) as being greater than they actually were. Keilbach was solid, but this memory of him being one of the greatest of all time.......I'm not sure that's accurate.
BomberBall Posted December 23, 2020 Report Posted December 23, 2020 I absolutely hate the choice of Edmunds for pbp. His voice is like finger nails on a chalkboard. Noeller 1

When the WHA Jets scored he brought the house down!! Especially if it was Anders, Ulf or Bobby. When the other team scored he was so quiet that it could be missed. Two Jets fans talking: Q: "Hey, the Jets were up 2 goals & now it's tied??? When did the Aeros score??" A: "Effed if I know & I've been listening to the game." That actually happened a lot. He made no secret that he was there to cheer on the Jets. This is a video of Ken Nicholson. You can hear him do Jets pbp from 1:20-2:04.

My brain is turned off... whoever was doing the radio broadcasts in the past years (not Dennis Beyak whoever the other guy) was absolutely terrible. Calls the game to fast and I always found his "He scorrrrrrrreees" to sounding like nails on a chalkboard. He sounds like Ralph Kramden. Noeller 1

Can't stand him either. Sounds very American in that. Foster Hewitt might have come up with it but you pretty much only hear Americans say that now. JCon and Brandon 2
Noeller Posted December 24, 2020 Report Posted December 24, 2020 The guttoral yelling... I know some people see that as exciting.... It's not for me. You don't need to have the needle pinned to 11 all the time. JCon 1

I'm surprised he's still here, actually. The Jets will extend him and let him be picked by Seattle.
