Did anyone see Kerr at the start of the game? He genuinely looks like a paedo.

The sheep reference applies more to NZ than Australia.

I never really post. Usually just lurk the forums the last few years till I registered recently.

Anyways, I just want to say what obviously has been said over and over is that Kipper was truly a elite goalie. It's just a reality check how good he was directing his rebounds, how good he was down low as well as his glove hand. He never lost his net and was always so quick to be back in position.

Our goalies tend to now be in position for that first save but not the second save. They are there for the initial save but Kipper could be there for a second and third.

I truly wish he moved to a contender to win it all because he had that ability to take a team like Nashville and a lot of other good teams ( not elite ) to the cup.

What is Rob Kerr's background? Was he ever a hockey player? How did he start out as a sportscaster?

There has to be enough dun-goofed material from Kerr by now to make a decent compilation video on YouTube.

He was with the Fan 960 for years, not sure on any prior sportscaster experience, except for the odd fight call that Maher would allow him to do.

AFAIK he had an afternoon radio slot on The Fan 960 and a sports blog, but that was about it.

Well... The Capitals got 5 first rounds picks when the Blues signed Stevens as an RFA and the Whalers got Brendan Shanahan for Pronger... so I'd say they both made out alright.

Kerr attended SAIT in the then-named CTSR program (it’s now RTBN) in 1995. But it was his connection to longtime SAIT hockey coach Ken Babey that kick-started his career and gave him credibility within the hockey world.
Kerr and Babey met at a first-year orientation when Babey was working at the athletics booth.
“Ken Babey and I got talking and he said if I ever wanted to get more involved with hockey, they needed some help.”
Kerr made the most of this opportunity and joined the Trojans, helping them out in many different ways.
As it turned out, the assistant coach at the time couldn’t always make it, so Kerr often found himself on the ice with Babey helping him with practice.
“He was basically our team manager, and that included everything you could think of,” said Babey. “From washing water bottles, pushing pucks on the ice, pre-scouting, and running press releases about the team.”
“It started a relationship with Ken, and it allowed me to see the game from a different perspective,” said Kerr.

In the Flames organization, yes he is as he has been arguably our best player this year. If he was on a contender i do not think so. I believe he is a good player for the flames as he can be a leader and has experience winning.
