Kenny Albert is NBC’s no. 2 PBP in the conference finals

KENNY ALBERT

It appears Kenny Albert, the Rangers’ radio voice, is NBC’s choice for the Western Conference Finals on NBC and NBCSN.

We’re not sure if he’ll be doing all the games — but if he is, this is a great decision on NBC’s part. Albert has done a tremendous job over the years on the national level. And should be the heir apparent for when Doc Emrick ultimately retires.

Dave Strader had been the no. 2 guy on NBC and NBCSN for NHL games late in the post-season.

If he does do the rest of the Kings-Hawks series, it’ll mean he’s pretty busy the next two weeks — he’ll be going from Montreal to Chicago to Montreal to New York to Los Angeles and thensome.

Well done, Kenny.
