You can't fault Kerr for trying his hardest to be a pbp guy, he just didn't have the chops for it. You can tell he respects Peter Maher a lot, and goes to him for advice. I remember hearing Maher once saying he tries to be neutral when calling goals, so often times, when he shouts "scores!", he does it with the same enthusiasm for either team. I think Kerr tried to emulate that. It beats the guy who does the Oilers or Avs pbp guy, who sounds like someone shot their dog if the other team scores.
